Pennsylvania has about a half dozen such firms working m the state. The Keystone staters said they will use their grant money to show these menu planners a handful of egg recipes and point out how cost efficient and easy to prepare those dishes are. Quiches and scrambled eggs will be among the items promoted to help boost egg consumption. Egg producers also were informed that the American Egg Board has purchased time on ABC and NBC television networks during the daytime hours for egg promotion spots. The television spots, aimed at the times homemakers will most likely be watching TV, are scheduled to continue through iiic mat tnree quarters of 1981. The State and Regional Support Committee agreed to a brown egg promotion campaign in the New England states, especially in the Boston market area and Maine. The slogan to be used, “Fresh New England Brown Eggs—lncredible,” ties in with the Incredible Edible Egg campaign used nationally. American Egg Board will be providing partial funding for the estimated $69,200 program. New England egg men hope to show an egg promotion campaign can pay off, not just for brown eggs, but for any eggs if the promotion budget is provided. If the current marketing research program, which will continue through 1981, is successful, the New England group said it hopes to expand its advertising into a full fledged program in coming years.—CH CENTRAL TRACTOR IS FARM & FAMILY CENTER All items are subject to stock on hand We reserve the right to limit quantities Sale ends on the above date ,1 LANCASTER 1570 Manheim Pike, Hwy. 72 North Delegates to the American Egg Board spent their time in the afternoon z tending one of three sessions, all of which ran at the same time.

Fire ban imposed in state forests HARRISBURG - The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources today imposed a ban on all > open fires and smoking in the state forest and state park lands of five forest districts, effective at noon Wednesday, Oct. 22. The ban also involves state game lands within the five forest districts, according to a spokesman for the Penn sylvania Game Commission. It will have no effect on hunting or other recreational activities on game lands, the state forests or state parks. An open fire includes smoking materials, gas operated stoves and lights, charcoal fires and fires in outside fireplaces. Also banned is the use of gas operated stoves or lantern inside a tent. It is permissible to use the above inside a permanent structure, a camp cabin or trailer constructed of wood, metal, bnck or stone. Announcement of the ban was made by State Forester Richard R. Thorpe and William C. Forrey, directors of DER’s bureaus of Forestry and State Parks Ph: 717-569-01 H Sale Hours: 8:30-5:30 Mon.-Fri. 8:30 - 5:00 Saturday respectively. The forest districts, and the counties they comprise are: Michauz Forest District 1: York, Adams and portions of Cumberland and Franklin Tuscarora Forest District 3: Perry, Juniata, Hun tingdon, Mifflin and parts of Cumberland and Franklin. Weiser Forest District 18: Lehigh, Berks, Lebanon, Dauphin, Schuylkill, and Carbon. Delaware Forest District 19: Northampton, Monroe and Pike. Wyoming Forest District 20: Northumberland, Montour, Luzerne, Sullivan and Columbia. The decision to impose the ban on state lands followed discussions with DER Secretary Clifford L. Jones, who concurred on the need for such action to curb the possibility of fire because of the critical drought situation in the state. Jones said, that while the current ban affects only five of the state’s 20 forest districts, there is a definite need for all persons, regardless of where they CHAMBERSBURG 1351 Lincoln Way East Ph: 717-264-8282 Store Hours; 9-6 Mon. -Thur, 9-9 Fri.; 9-5 Sat. reside, to be extremely careful with fire. “Our Division of Forest Fire Protection,” said Jones, has been urging the public to be careful with open fires and smoking for the last several weeks, even before the drought situation reached the critical stage. “We all are aware of the scarcity of water. Wells and streams are drying up, reservoirs are low and many communities have imposed restrictions on water usage. ' This.leaves little, if any. water available for ch\ '> batting fires. “To compound the problem, we are in the midst of the fall fire season. Ground cover is dry and, combmed with a blanket of fallen leaves, provides the right amount of fuel for a wildfire. “Until a few weeks ago the problem of wildfires ap peared concentrated in the eastern half of the Com monwealth. While these areas remain critical, now there is a deficient amount of rainfall throughout the State and the fire danger is higher than normal,” he concluded. 534 95 28901-250 Model 225 Box Gravity Box Ends sides and bottom are made of 14 gauge prime steel, super structure made of formed steel plate Wagon and tires not in eluded
