wants, no matter the cost in pain.
It seems that where dollars are
concerned we can piously proclaim
that fellow creatures do not feel in
order to justify our insensitive
behavior.
We have much to learn, if we
would, from the animal kingdom.
It is gratifying to learn that un
derstanding and compassion are
being taught in at least some
schools. And that the use of
chemicals is not blindly embraced
without questioning. I don’t sup-
4-H thanks
Thank you for your paper’s
coverage of the York County 4-H
Fair. We realize your reporters
are in demand at so many dif- (
ferent places, it must be difficult'
to decide who and what to cover.
Joyce Bupp and Laurie
Dobrosky do such a great job of
reporting on 4-H events due to
their previous 4-H experiences. It
is nice working with them.
Thank you for a job well done.

Beetle grubs are developing and
could be a problem next Summer.
The treatment of the lawn or turf
areas with Oiazinon, Dylox or
Oursban should be done now. The
material should be watered in
after application, unless heavy
rains follow the treatment.
Most of the trouble from ground
moles can be eliminated when the
grubs in the soil are eradicated.
Treatment should be done at once
to obtain best results.
pose you are aware what happened
with that one-time popular
“miracle” called DDT. You
lampoon England and Europe’s
thinking on humaneness which
merely exposes your callous
ignorance.
I can only hope that in some
fashion you will meet the same fate
you promote for the creatures of
this world who lack ? your "brains
and ability to feel.” I wonder how
you treat your pet dog?

Snapshot surprise
Such a pleasant surprise to find
two of our snapshots in the Dairy
photo album in the July 25, 1981
issue of your paper.
Although we live,quite a ways
from you, we enjoy youj paper,
read it all.
When we entered the photo
contest, we did it for fun, not
feeling we could win. We’ve so
enjoyed the weekly" page of Dairy
photo album & the story you write
about the snapshots you choose. It
was a thrill to recognize our
snapshots in that story. We love
animals & are always taking
pictures of something or other.
