Al2—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, November 20,1982
We read with interest the article
in Lancaster Farming on page ASS
of the Nov. 13 issue (“Ag
legislation moves in lame duck
session”) on House Bill 2535, as
well as the comments that
legislator Vice Chairman Noah
Wenger made concerning this bill.

In the Nov. 13 issue of Lancaster

awards on page 812, Michelle
Mase was incorrectly identified as
the daughter of Gary and Eileen
Mase. She is the daughter of Ken
and Eileen Mase. Photo captions
showing Dale Babner and Marcy
Barnhart were inadvertently in

finished for this year. I also know
that every farm has machinery
that needs repair and service. If
you are planning to have this done
at your machinery dealer, it
would be wise to contact him in the
near future so it’s on his work
schedule. I’m aware of the spring
rush next March and April; and I
know your local service man will
appreciate the work during the fall
and into the long winter days. It
can also save time in case parts
need to be ordered to complete the
job. The objective is to be planning
for this repair work now. Have it
lone so you’re machinery is ready
to go early next spring.

Doggone hill
active since the early 19605, we
cannot support this bill for the
following reasons:
The Department of
Agriculture’s Dog Law En
forcement Bureau has been in
consistent for many years. A 60
percent license sale percentage is
not very efficient.
k- A budget of $2,250,000 yearly
would be adequate to supply their
needs. Since they sold 1,045,432
individual licenses and 1,604
kennel licenses in 1961, why would
they need a 500 percent increase?
A $1 or $2 increase per individual
license would suffice.
lt seems to be their intent to
fund the SPCA and humane groups

with this 500 percent increase. We
have no quarrel with any of these
groups, but a private organization
should not be funded with state
monies. Who will be the next to ask
for the same thing?

We also feel the puppy mill issue
is just a smoke screen and the real
issue in House Bill 2535 is for the
SPCA and humane groups in the
continuous funding they so much
desire. Remarks made by James
