BY PAT KAUFFMAN
MT. JOY - “All of life is
an attitude. Nobody can ruin
your day without your
permission.” So stated
Grover Gouker at the
Elizabethtown Young
Farmers banquet, Saturday.
While Gouker was m fact a
last minute replacement for
another speaker, the
manager for Dale Carnegie
was an obvious crowd
pleaser.
While noting an article he
read recently which stated
that a farmer’s time is worth
$200.00 per hour, Gouker

emphasized the need to take
control of one’s day. That, he
noted, meant recognizing
that the only person to blame
when tnings go wrong is
oneself. It also meant that a
farmer’s time was too
valuable to give control of it
to someone else. “If you’re
not in charge, you’re giving
that control to someone
else,” Gouker quipped.
With the use of quotes and
jokes, Gouker pointed out to
the group that “Most people
will be about as happy as*
they decide to be.”
Arlan Keener from the
Elizabethtown FFA spoke
briefly to the group and
encouraged members
present to “Look around for
a teen you can help.”
The evening was made
more memorable for the
group by the presence of
fifteen gingerbread bams
used as table decorations.

Frank Koebnch,
President and General
Manager, said 88,620 cases
of eggs were traded in
February surpassing the
previous record set in
February 1977 by more than
15,000 cases. Trading
represented a 23 percent
increase over the near
record trading of February
1979.
Combined trading for
January and February 1980
surpassed the previous first
two months’ trading record
by 15,350 cases - more than
20 truck loads, Koebruch
said. This record was set by
February’s strong trading
since January’s totals fell
almost two loads short of the
previous record for a
January.
Some 120 firms par
ticipated in trading during
February and 131 during
January. Koebnch agreed

Delano that the increased
interest and trading has
resulted from the com
mitment program
established by members in
September 1979. Since that
tune a record number of
eggs have been traded
through the Clearinghouse.
Koebnch noted trading
during the last quarter of
1979 was more than 16,000
cases higher than for any
previous last quarter and
trading participation in
creased substantially during
the period. The trading pace
has contmued into the new
year both in number of
trades and in the number of
participants, Koebnch said.
