mittee and the House Local
Government Committee.
The 100th District Republican
said he had expressed interest in
the two committees.
“I’m very excited about these
appointments,” said Barley.
“TTiey are two committees which
impact quite heavily on the 100th
Legislative District. As a fresh
man legislator of the minority
party, I’m especially fortunate to
receive a seat on these panels.
“The Conservation Committee is
important, considering our
agricultural community and
concerns about the Chesapeake
Bay. The Susquehanna River
constitutes the entire western
boundary of our district and our
area is a very large watershed for
the river and the bay.”
Barley pointed out that the
district is the most rural and open

alternate member of the county
committee. Mr. Hoffman is also a
portion of Lancaster County with
the greatest share of park and
recreation lands.

to the Local Government Com
mittee, since I’ve had previous
experience with my local planning
commission, county advisory
boards and the zoning process in
my own township," added Bariev
“Township officials and school
board directors take their jobs
very seriously. My position on the
committee will allow me to ef
fectively support their views and
concerns and serve as a bridge
between local government and
Harrisburg.”

perience with the ■ Lancaster

Cold weather is here and many
small feeder pigs are not given
sufficient protection. In our
modern open-fronted finishing
houses the small pigs may become
too cold and come down with
digestive and respiratory
problems. We suggest that the
pens be covered with boards, or
other materials to form a hover
over the back part of the pen. This
will help maintain body heat and
reduce the chance of any drafts
over the smaller pigs. When the
pigs pile up during cold weather,
they are not warm enough. You
may want to use heat lamps or
other forms of supplemental heat,
on the small pigs during very cold
weather.
Energy costs are continually
going up and many people are
using woodbuming stoves as a
means of reducing oil, electric and
gas use. This means buying more
firewood.
It is a good idea to know what
you are buying. Some firewood
sellers may offer such
“measurements” as face cord,
rick, rank, stack, truckload or
“pile” and buyers often believe
they are getting a cord.
A “cord” is defined by Penn
sylvania law as “the amount of
wood which is contained in a space
of 128 cubic feet when wood is
ranked and well stowed.” This
means a neatly piled rank of wood
four feet high, four feet wide, and
eight feet long. Those selling
fuelwood are liable under the law
when they use the term “cord”
alone.
A “face cord” which is a term
widely used is a neatly piled rank
of wood four feet high, eight feet
long and as wide as the lengths of
the sticks of wood. If the pieces are
16 inches long, you have one-third
of a cord of wood.
It pays to know the amount you
agree to buy.

action, equal opportunity educational in*
