WASHINGTON, D.C. - Basic
county loan and purchase rates for
1982-crop soybeans grading No. 2
were issued last Thurs. by Everett
'flank, administrator of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture’s
AgHcultural Stabilization and
Conservation Service.
Since the early 1700 s the Narvon area
has survived floods, hurricanes, fires, and wars.
Apart from the area's perseverance, it is a classic
example of the best Lancaster County has to offer:
a calendar-picture countryside; fertile land; well
kept, productive farms; and most important, homes
for hard working people.
UNFORTUNATELY this area is being con
sidered as a site for the dumping of hazard
ous waste. Formal application for federal
and state permits to open a hazardous waste
treatment and landfill facility at the Narvon
Mine has been made.
The Red Rose Alliance (an organized group of
concerned citizens) feels this is not in the best in
terests of our community, and WE HOPE TO DO
SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

and our future with your contribution of money
