This was our first year for
a combined roundup and the
results were encouraging.
The 4-Hers and parents were
amazed to learn how many
of their friends and
neighbors were also par

jects.
Thank you for the
coverage of the Urban 4-H
dairy members. 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.
Again we from Dauphin

you to the Lancaster

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?

Cliches of Socialism.)
