President Jimmy Carter
has convened The White
House Conference on
Families this summer to
“examine the strengths of
American families, the
difficulties they face and the
ways in which family life is
affected by public policies.”
He has labeled the state and
national activities as a long
overdue assessment of how
government and the major
private institutions help,
hurt, or neglect families.
Pennsylvania is preparing
for The White House Con
ference through a series of
public forums on families.
Four regional hearings will
be held in February.
Through April, local family
forums or meetings will
convene across the state. To
facilitate discussion, a
statewide committee
chaired by James E. Van
Horn, Extension family
sociologist at Penn State,
has identified four major
issues affecting families.

show that 45 high producing
cows can return as much
money over feed costs as 96

of the records in herds on
DHIA in 1979 shows that 45
cows producing at the rate of
17,700 pounds of milk yearly
nets the same mcome after
