Those in Need
(Continued from Page B 2)
Attempting to join him, five
tunes Lahn and her daughters
tried to escape the Communist
regime, and on the fourth try was
imprisoned three months as
punishment. Undaunted, she tried
a fifth time and succeeded, fleeing
to freedom through Thailand.
Lahn and her daughters, ages 4
and 5, arrived in Lebanon County
just before Christmas, turning the
holiday season into a truly
memorable one for both Hai’s
family and their sponsors.
Although Lahn doesn’t yet speak
English, five-year-old Hoa has just
started attending Kindergarten,
and both she and her younger
sister, Ha, are quickly picking up
words in their new language.
One refugee sponsored by the
Zieglers has been living in
Myerstown for seven years, with
his five children, while his wife
remains in Vietnam. She has tried
unsuccessfully to escape, and even
though funds and letters are sent
regularly to her, there is no way of
knowing if they get through the
mail censorship.
The head of still another of the
Ziegler-sponsored families was a
commander in the Vietnam navy.
He, too, began work at the shoe
manufacturer, and has since
moved into computer work m a
local bank. He affectionately
refers to Grace as his “sister”.
HEALTH STARTS IN THE SOIL
That Is obviously basic.
Healthy natural fertilizer, then healthy soil, then healthy crops,
then healthy consumers men, beast and poultry It takes no
college degree to realize that Our customers get larger crops at
less cost our way, anyway, because nature helps to produce
nitrogen if toxic fertilizer is avoided, both by nitrogen fixation
from the air and by increased earthworms and soil bacteria If
toxins in chemical fertilizer corrode equipment (as it does) then it
will also corrode soil life Then it takes more fertilizer to give the
same yield. It takes no college degree to know that, because our
customers are well proving it In drought especially they get
bigger crops than their neighbors, plus much better feed value
2 customers reported 27% protein in haylage, another running
around 22% to 23% protein in hay. All 3 are the result of $ll5
rock phosphate which lasts a doz. years. Added benefits are
obtained if mixed in manure throughout the winter And our
customers in general have the least cow trouble 1 It takes no
genius or super math to figure out which is the most profitable
Our Mt. Joy customer won a prize for top tomato yield last year
of 29.5 tons per acre. Another one had a 9.9 lb cantaloupe and
40 pound watermelon last year Three commercial cantaloupe
grower customers don’t use chemical sprays and have quality
melons. Muff said. If above doesn’t convince, what will 7 Ask for
eye opening literature and pictures of crops
If you don’t feed your animals and poultry organically grown
feed, and have trouble, thep we have excellent natural sup
plements that really work - a lot of layer flocks are healthier than
normal! A phone call or letter brings you the story
We have two excellent water conditioners that take the toxins
and nitrates out of water which also helps livestock health
Economical prices. No electricity or maintenance.
Our low priced Vitamin C is a great boost to livestock because
Vit. C diminishes in feed. Dealers wanted. A great potential
business because huge livestock and poultry men will use it.

feedings usually knocks it out except in old prolonged cases. Even
those sometimes when drugs have failed. It is Spirulina' ,
an algae that grows on water. Extremely rich,in vitamins,
minerals, trace elements, ammo acids, chlorophyll and
enzymes. It supplies the missing elements. Makes cows resistant.
It is double purpose - nourishing the cow and treating the cause,
not just the udder or symptom. Farmers say helps improve sick
cows in a few hours.

“I just love doing for others,” is
Grace’s quiet reply when asked
about her tireless devotion to
helping those in need.
Grace finds that her own per
sonal world has expanded with her
exposure to others from around the
world making her more open to
people. Often she’ll stop to chat
with people of other nationalities,
in the supermarket or other
shopping areas, and ask if they are
acquainted with some particular
family that the Zieglers have
sponsored.
But she’s less than patient with
people who might complain to her
that they’re bored.
“Get oufand do something! ” she
emphatically advises.
Taking her. own advice, when
Grace saw still another need in the
community, six years ago, again
she put feet under her concern.
Through two of the foster
children of the Ziegler family, she
became acquainted with the
teacher and work of the Educable
Mentally Retarded class at nearby
Eastern Lebanon County middle
school. After six years of spending
a half-day each week assisting the
teacher, Grace laughingly claims
she’s still learning as much as
she’s teaching. Her presence in the
classroom makes extra, personal
attention available to any of the 21
students in the class, perhaps
something as simple, yet en
couraging, as a hug, or a few words
of enthusiastic praise.

takes the form of just interested
listening, since both often find
themselves in the role of counselor,
either through concern over
friends and acquaintances, or
through formal programs.
Victor is on the Lebanon
County’s prison ministry program,
and frequently will bring boys
from the institution home with the
family for awhile. Grace
periodically plays basketball with
the female inmates, enjoying both
the exercise from the sport and the
chance of sharing time and
friendly conservation with the
women.
“We both have the same goals,”
she says of the couple’s open-door
approach to so many in need. They
work closely ' with the Teen
Challenge program, as well as a
variety of church-related
organizations.
Grace is the county’s vice
president of the Women’s Christian
Temperance Union and the
Lebanon Valley Brethren Home
auxiliary, and is on the support
group for the “Chemical People”
drug and alcohol educational
program. She also serves on the
Church of the Brethren district
board, heads the local stewardship
commission and, with Victor,
serves as advisor for the Richland
Brethren Church’s youth group of
15 members.

OLD LEACOCI
The Ziegler’s understanding of
the world political situation has
been broadened through their
extensive travels over the past
several years. During their stay in
the Soviet Union, Victor and a
fellow traveler managed to slip
away from their group and into the
American Embassy, in Moscow, to
visit with the “Siberian Seven.”
This group of seven Pentecostal
Christians sought haven in the
embassy after years of Communist
persecution for their faith. The
seven members of the Vaschenko
and Chmykhalov families spent
five years in the embassy’s
cramped basement, trying to get
visas to emigrate. After a
worldwide outcry over their plight,
eventually the seven were allowed
to safely return to their villages,
obtain sl,ooo-apiece visas and
leave the Soviet Union with their
families.
Millie Curtis will be the guest
speaker at the PAWS 4-H Dog
Club’s March 8 meeting. Mrs.
Curtis is the founder of the West
Jersey Canine Search and Rescue
Unit. Mrs. Ginny Gilbert, Club
Leader, invites all county
residents to attend this meeting.

A photograph of Victor with the
Seven is one of Ziegler’s prized
mementoes of their travels, and
they hope someday to host the two
Russian families for a visit to their
home.
Being available to their children,
even now that they’re all grown,
remains important to Grace and
Victor. Their three daughters and
two sons all live nearby, allowing
the couple to spend time often with
their five grandchildren.
Through ail her time shared with
others, Grace still manages to find
moments for gardening, painting,
wallpapering and writing poetry.
In fact, she figures that she really
wouldn’t be happy if she had to just
sit still.
So long as there are folks in need
- young or old, lonely or lost - it’s
not very likely that Grace Ziegler
will ever, have to worry about
sitting still.
The program will begin at 8 p.m,
at the Extension Center, Route 31
in Flemington. Mrs. Curtis will
give a report on the unit’s ob
jectives and activities. A couple of
the actual team dogs will be
brought to the meeting to illustrate
her talk.
