BY DONNA TOMMELLEO
REFTON They're almost
'kissing cousins.” Both the Golden
Guernsey and the spunky Jersey
originated from neighboring
islands in the English Channel.
And although the Guernsey
proceeded the Jersey’s 1840 arrival
in the U.S. by only 9 years, it took
almost 145 years for the two breeds
to combine for a long-awaited
family reunion.
American Guernsey Cattle Club
state representative, Janet Har
ding, last Friday, announced the
immanent merger of the AGCC
and the American Jersey Cattle
Club.
Speaking to Lancaster County
Guernsey breeders during their
Annual Dinner Meeting, Harding
explained the merger will allow
greater operating efficiency in
both organizations while saving
money
"We intend to maintain our
individualities,” she reported.
The merger, effective January
Bob Wagner, left, of Quarryville and Fred Crider, Not
tingham, were selected as new directors by the Lancaster
County Guernsey breeders.

Guemeys move forward...in breed merger
198 J, has been iiseaichea by an
AGCC directoi-appointed com
mittee since April 1980. However,
Harding noted that a similar move
was introduced as early as 1957.
The twp breed organizations will
occupy the same building in
Columbus, Ohio but the facility will
not be the building that currently
houses the Jersey headquarters.
The AGCC has already sold its
Peterborough, N.H. headquarters
and now leases space.
The groundwork tor the new
headquarters, dubbed the
Purebred Registry Center, will be
handled by the Corporate
Executive Committee. The CEC is
comprised of representatives from
both breed clubs. The number of
representatives from both
organizations will be based on the
number of registrations in a three
year period, said Harding.
Within the PRC, both breed clubs
will merge several services.
Typesetting and copy layout will
be shared, although Harding
representative, Ruth Ann Benedict, right, does
her homework before reporting on the
pointed out the national breed
publication and editing statt will
remain the same. The merger will
also combine the two clubs type
traits appraisal programs, blood
typing, data processing, ac
counting and purchasing and ottice
maintenence.
Predicting a smooth transition,
Harding said she expects to see a
combining ot field services in the
future as well as the possible ad
dition ot other breed organizations.
“The door will always be open to
all breeds,” the Brookville woman
reported.
Harding also noted the ac
ceptance ot a new Executive
Secretary tor the AGCC, Bernard
Heisner. Heisner, who will take
over in January 1982, is currently
Director ot Information at Select
Sires.

THE LOG SAVER DELUXE STOVE
HEATER is engineered to trap and utilize
heat generated by solid fuels. The com
bustion chamber is designed to create a
swirling movement of heat that builds up
turbulence inside the fire chamber and
through the heat exchanger. This is a
stove that is designed for slow burning up
to 14 hours on one refueling. This is made
possible because of a unique draft entry
chamber where air is preheated and con
trolled automatically by a bi-metal ther
mostat.
