120—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, lun« 5,19»2 b: Ida’s Notebook Ida Bisser As I walk from room to room in my large old farmhouse, I see pictures of my six children sitting on tables and on the piano. And a feeling of nostalgia sets in as I remember their soft baby skin and silky hair. I also remember how they grew, asked a million questions, and then skipped off to school to soak up learning like little sponges. We were one big happy family busily sharing the responsbilities of farm life. But now I think of them in dividually as I hoe my gram, clean my house and water my flowers. They have each made their choices of a life work and have gone their separate ways.

At times sadness creeps in as I do miss the bustle of family ac tivities that we enjoyed together. Of course, there were tunes when harsh words were exchanged as we all pushed ourselves too hard. Their varied interests stretched from decorating a cake to potato judging and from building a pig feeder to repairing a tractor engine. As they competed with other youths and won acclaim, they became more confident of their own skills. When I walk through the woodlands each spring, I remember the ritual of taking all State CONTEST RULES CAMP HILL Did you ever hurry through your grocery shopping, grabbing a carton of what you thought was sour cream? And when you got home, you found you had bought something that was not real sour cream at all, but an imitation? This has happened to many people, with the other dairy nroducts as well as sour cream, because mutations are packaged in the same kind of cartons as real milk, cream, cheese, butter and other dairy foods. About a year and a half ago, American Dairy Association and the U.S. dairy industry launched f of them to hunt wild flowers on a Sunday afternoon in April. There are many snapshots to remind me of the pleasures that we shared. Memories can fill me with tears or with smiles as I contemplate each child and their place in today’s world. Instead of thinking of them as a family group, I now offer a prayer for each one in dividually. It seems that I can’t give up my parental role. Do they think of me as often as I think of them?

MAX URETHANE (4xB or to your spec) ★ ★ - ■ RD2, Box 267, East Earl, PA 17519 "Real Seat service expands national consumer service to help shoppers easily tell the difference between the real thing and mutations. A growing number of milk and dairy food processors are offering this service to the people who buy their products. Since the “BEAL” Seal program began nationally, every major farmer-owned dairy cooperative has joined with ADA, placing the “BEAL” Seal on its product cartons. Commercial dairies all over the U.S. are par ticipating too, with more than half of the 20 largest retail grocerv chains using the Seal. ADA “REAL” Seal Program Director Stephen A. Dohrmann estimates that processors certified to use the Seal account for well over half the milk marketed in the country. He said, “The Seal appears on dairy products in almost every one of the top 50 markets.” However, some of these markets and other smaller market areas might not have as many products carrying the Seal as the larger population centers. One reason consumers might not be seeing it in the dairy case right away is that Distributor For FIBERGLASS ROLLS BLOWN IN SALES Cali us for low prices - (717)354-7561 WHEELING CHANELDRAIN ROOFING & SIDING Colors In Stock: • Red • Avocado Green • Plain Galvanized • Light Green • White • Gold • Brown Distributor For ALUMAX ALUMINUM ROOFING & SIDING dairies have to wait until their supplies of cartons run out before they print new ones with the £ symbol. So, until the dairy industry can get its quality assurance symbol fully into the marketplace, it’s a good idea for shoppers to check labels carefully. But when you see the “REAL” Seal on a carton, you know you are buymg products from the cow: real milk and genuine dairy foods made from milk. Your assurance of a real dairy food.
