DEUTZ DIESELS FROM INDIANA?
RICHMOND
Deutz customers know from experience that Deutz diesels are a creation
of German engineering and production craftsmanship All those happy
Deutz users will be even happier to learn that NOW DEUTZ
DIESELS ARE MADE IN USA - at an engine plant Deutz purchased
in Richmond, Indiana
Domestic production in the 20-160 hp range gives us and our Deutz
customers a tremendous advantage over all other air-cooled diesels
Invest in a sure thing - Deutz diesels have been famous for fuel economy
and reliability since Amos Stauffer first sold Deutz diesels in this area - 25
years ago We are equally famous for superb Deutz service
Don’t just buy a “bargain" diesel which is supposed to be “built like a
Deutz” BUY A DEUTZ AND BE SURE YOU HAVE MADE A GOOD INVEST
MENT A Deutz diesel will usually recover the difference in price thru fuel
savings alone within one year

stockyards official with
USDA's Agricultural
Marketing Service, said.
Smith said the significant
changes include a proposed
substantial reduction in the

greatly reduce the tune

that the custodial accounts

Smith said These accounts
are required to ensure

there is no reason that the
money involved should not
be put to work, provided it is
properly designated as part

The grant proposal, Rural
American. Coming of Age,
was designed by Peggy
Bailey, Director of the Green
Thumb at Bloomsburg State
College.
Mrs. Bailey participated
in the northeastern session
in East Hartford, Con
necticut, and observed that
‘the valuable resource of
information being collected
at the conferences should be
effectively channeled
nationwide to all interested
persons and organizations
involved in helping to un
derstand and solve the
problems of the rural
elderly."
She stated, The grant will
be used to educate the public
to the needs addressed by
the conference delegates on
issues of housing, em
ployment, health, energy,
and transportation in ruial

The P&S Act is a fair trade
practices law administered
by USDA’S Agricultural
Marketing Service It
promotes fair and open
competition in the
marketing of livestock, meat
and poultry
areas, and will better
prepare delegates selected
to attend the 1981 White
House Conference on Aging
to be held November 30-
December 3, 1981 in
Washington, D.C.”
Carl Larson, President of
National Green Thumb, Inc.,
said "As a result of the
rural mini conferences, it
became clear that the rural
perspective was vastly
different from the urban and
there was an urgent need to
communicate this fact to all
prospective delegates and
observers to the White House
Conference on Aging The
Arco grant, being coor
dinated by Orville Carver,
Pennsylvania State Director
of Green Thumb, will make
it possible to share nation
wide the resolutions adopted
at the conferences and will
have a lifelong impact on the
entire rural population of
this country ’
