I urge these farm organizations to take the mitative to contact then membership to contact their Senators and Represen tatives to vote for passage of House Bill 1794. Regarding the Pequea Township Ordinances and story in LANCASTER FARMING, Aug. 23,1980, as pertains to the farmers in that township, Farmers your best bet for each of you is to write and ask your Senators and Representatives to support House Bill 1794. You can win without writing, but your court expenses time and attorney fees will be great. This bill will overrule your township codes without court action or attorney fees. Please print a front page story m bold print in the LANCASTER FARMING the importance of the passage of House Bill 1794 and urge all segments of agriculture - farmers, im plement dealers, feed dealers, etc. to write to their Congressmen, to help themselves.

Please say, about the non-farm kids, that they may work with their project animals more readi ly than some farm youth because it is something en tirely new and different from what they are familiar with. Farm youth are depen dable with their chores because it is something they grew up with and they have learned to take responsibili ty for the family and the farm.

Dear editor, You say, “here’s a stupid zoning proposal” in your August 23 editorial on Pequea Twp. Lancaster County. Why don’t you say all zoning is stupid. And it is also theft. Stealing is the taking of a person’s property-or the prevention of its use. This zoning in Pequea Township is designed to prevent person (farmer) from using his property as he desires, (as long as the farmer does not interfere with someone else’s use of his property as he desires and vice versa). Q.E.D., it is a plain case of stealing, plunder, theft. Legal plunder to be sure — But if farmers have the right to zone to restrict land to only farming where they are the majority-why shouldn’t the majority have the right to zone out farming where they are in the majority? You do believe m majority rule don’t you? I Hus is another one of the Cliches of Socialism.) M.Hawin meetings East Petersburg exit. Turn south and travel to the stop sign.
