TUNKHANNOCK - A
record crowd of 2125 men,
women, and children
swarmed to the Nor
theastern Breeders
Association and Sire Power,
Inc. Headquarters in
Tunkhannnock last Saturday
for the annua] Open House.
Rides for the children,
clowns, balloons, and the
perfect summer weather all
added to the carmval-hke
atmosphere.

weight on the rear axles.
While the weight of the
tractor remains the same,
its position over the axles
will change the way the
portable scale weighs the
load.
There has been some
success in circumventing the
fme problem.
The Lancaster County
Pomona Grange was able to
secure a permit for local
farmers who need to haul
machinery across a posted
bridge on the Octarara
Creek
Wolff notes Pennsylvania
Department of Tran
sportation is willing to work
with people to secure a
permit for them
But the individual knows a
risk is taken every time a
truck which weighs m excess
of the rating is taken across
the bridge.
Solution to the problem
would be to repair all of the
bridges and roads which
today are substandard. That
costs money.
The Thornburgh Ad
ministration has proposed a
six cent per gallon gas sales
tax at the pump It is known
as the SWAP tax.
At present rates, five of
those six tax cents would be
eaten up by debt service for
construction which took
place 10 to 20 years ago.
The remaining penny tax
would generate about $5O
million m available money
for road and bridge repairs.
Since the Federal highway
money amounts to about $450
million, the state’s eager
ness to bring roads into
compliance and get at the
golden egg is un
derstandable.

attractions.
During the noon hour while
the crowd was fed a “Deep
Pit Ox Roast” served by the
Tunkhannock Tnton Hose
Company, “Jimmy Benson
and Co.” entertained with
their blue grass music.
Master of Ceremonies for
the afternoon meeting was
Margin Stout, Sales and
Service Director of NEBA.
He introduced Gary
Rickard, president of the
Trucks
Administration will continue
to press for the SWAP tax on
gasoline to get the money to
meet Federal requirements.
The publicity generated by
fines on rural roads may
only serve to heighten public
outcry against posted
bridges. The alternative
presented is the SWAP tax,
another bill added to already
soaring fuel costs.—CH
