Notebook

The holidays have come
and the holidays have gone
We had a lot of coming and
going at our house and I
don’t mean just the forty
nine relatives that were here
for two meals.
Even our dauther said
she’d be glad to get back to
her quiet apartment.
Over the two week period
before and after Christmas
our own children and their
fnends were here. It took
quite a bit of cooking, in fact
we made two turkeys on two
different days, as the table
was surrounded by many
chairs. Some of the boys
slept downstairs in sleeping
bags before the fireplace
They attended a party in
Bucks County, a dance in
Cumberland County and one
had just returned from a
weekend in Williamsburg,
Va. I’m told that it was
beautifully decorated for the
Christmas season and well
worth the trip down there
Many hours were spent by
the menfolk hanging gates,
welding broken parts and
extracting several gallons of
honey as the job wasn’t done
agriculture
land use
purposes.
This survey will indicate
the need for conservation
practices to protect water
quality in rural streams
‘Conservation is our
in wanner weather when it
would have been easier.
Some of my gifts were a bit
unusual One sister gave a
small block of wood with a
center peg on which one puts
finger rings when doing the
dishes. Another gave a spice
rope made of yarn, cin
namon sticks and small bags
of cloves. While still another
sewed a red felt bird as a
tree ornament and also gave
a genealogy chart.
But the one to top the rest
was a hand-crafted battery
operated clock with a slab of
white birch wood shellacked
as a face with gold
numerals
My husband bought a 40
pound block of Cheddar
cheese from our milk
company and we cut and
wrapped it in many in
dividual gift packages. We
even froze a bit and hope we
will like using it later from
the freezer.
Hopefully, soon I can settle
down to reading some of my
many new books and also to
sorting some old books
which I’ve stored away in
boxes

business” said Donald
Bollinger, District Chair
man, “and we want to
provide all the help we can to
those farm operations that
could use more conservation
on the land.
“With more ana more
people concerned about
water quality, it seems that
farmers will want to do the
best job possible to protect
their rural streams from
pollution Conservation
practices and measures
installed on our farms will
reduce sediment and other
pollution sources,” he said
The Conservation District
is negotiating a contract
with the Bureau of Soil and
Water Conservation to fund
the survey work
The Federal Clean Waters
Act which sets a goal for
fishable and swimable
waters by 1983 is providing
assistance to the District to
undertake this survey
