New Castle Co. seeks youth H® B. mWB bowling alleys, and other points of interest. The idea is to introduce a puppy to normal family life, busy places, other animals, and the behavior required to spend the rest of its life as a guide for a blind person. Although the puppies won’t wear the U-shaped harnesses used by an adult Seeing eye dogs, they will be expected to get used to a collar, leash, and bed chain. A bed chain is used to train a puppy to sleep in a basket next to its master’s bed just as it must when it is older affd serving as a blind person’s eyes. In Bucks County, Pa., 4-H’ers take their Seeing Eye pups on camping trips and dress them in costumes for Halloween. The Seeing Eye/4-H Program has been conducted in Penn- sylvania and New Jersey for a number of years. When Seeing Eye was founded in 1929, the pups spent their first year in a kennel. By the time they were old enough for intensive guide dog training, many were temperamentally unsuitable. Eventually, the Seeing Eye staff realized that the dogs would be easier to train for guide work if they were already used to living with people. In 1948, someone had the idea of turning to 4-H. After all, community service and animal care have always been important to this cooperative extension service-sponsored youth program. The Seeing Eye puppy program could offer both. Over the years, the program expanded from the Morristown area to the rest of new Jersey and Mr. Dairyman If You Are Interested In Saving Energy Or If You Are Having A Cooling Problem, Please Call us For A No Obligation Demonstration The Mueller Accu-Therm Precooler ... u»e» well water to precool your warm milk before It goee Into your milk cooler) In seconds 100 degree milk is cooled <o within 15 to 20 degrees of well water temperature Milk (lows between every other stainless steel heat exchanger plate while well water Mows in the opposite direction on the other side ot these plates cooling the milk Choose Accu Therm tor J Jj£p 1, _ IJIJ ir = ii -S'lffTi -Tim Multi P«as Arrangement ” , WHI Wiler ST I Accu Therm | ~V>W 3t4 i^rJ *—Accu -Ttierixi —I PLATE HEAT EXCHANGER MOJONNIERP USED COOLERS AVAILABLE • 1,000 & 3,000 Gal.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture will no long use moisture content as a grade determining factor in the U.S. Standards for corn, sorghum and soybeans, beginning Sept. 9, 1985. However, USDA will continue to require moisture content to be stated on all official inspection certrificates that show the official grade. “Revising the stan dards for these three grains provides con sistency among stan dards that treat moisture as a condition of grain, rather than a fixed measure of quality, and recognizes current trade prac tices,” said Kenneth A. Gilles, administrator of USDA’s Federal Gram Inspection Service After receiving public comments, the agency decided to delete moisture as a grade determining factor from the standards for corn, sorghum and soybeans. Moisture content is not a grade-determining factor in the US. Standards for wheat, barley, oats, tnticale and rye.
