Local grangers oppose percentage gas tax OAKRYN - Fulton Grange No. 66 met Monday, 8 p.m. at the Grange Hall in Oakryn with Master Thomas C. Galbreath presiding. Members went on record in opposition to the proposed change m the method of taxing gasoline in Penn sylvania from eleven cents per gallon to a six percent sales tax which would add more to the already high price of gasoline and as the prices increases so would the rate of this tax. The proposal would also increase the amount allocated to mass transit for large cities, depriving rural areas of their share of the gasoline tax to maintain their highways.

Miller Jr., reminded members of the photo, art, music and talent contests and announced a plan for members to buy a brick, at a cost of $3. each, for the State Grange Headquarter’s new chim ney.

Open dating explained YORK The Penn sylvania Department of Agriculture has required a rune day open dating of fluid milk since 1974. The purpose of an open date on any perishable food is to encourage proper rotation by store personnel and consumers so that consumers buy and use the oldest products first. Look for the printed or stamped open dates on the top of paper containers or the sides of plastic jugs. Milk processed on March 8, for example, will have a date of INC. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12 THURSDAY, MARCH 13 Mrs. William Taylor, a certified emergency medical technician, presented the program and showed a film “New Pulse Of Life” on cardiopulmonary resuscita tion. Mrs. Taylor explained several techniques and Clifford Holloway ID and William Taylor demon strated methods of applying artificial respiration to victims of suffocation, heart failure, choking and drowning. Miss Solahco, Diane Marie Michels, will present a program of vocal and guitar music at the next meeting, March 10. There will be a slide presentation on Ice Storms at the March 24th meeting. H.H. Haverstick Jr. will speak on land preservation at a Grange public meeting in April. March 17 or 3/17. Either is acceptable. Open dates don’t tell you how long a product is good. Consumers and distributors determine that by proper handling practices. Joan Lamberson, economist, recommends keeping danyproducts away from light and storing them in the refrigerator at 40° F and below. Close the con tamer immediately after pouring milk and return it to the refrigerator. Be sure to rotate containers, using the oldest first. feed about home
