Construction begins on Pennsylvania's Largest Ice Cream Sundae!
SELINSGROVE - Over 1,300 ice
cream lovers were able to sample
Pennsylvania’s largest ice cream
sundae at the Susquehanna Valley
Mall on June 13 to celebrate June
Dairy Month. The sundae was
sponsored by Valley Farms Dairy,
the American Dairy Association
and Dairy Council, and Boscov’s
Department Store.
Over 150 gallons of ice cream
were topped with chocolate syrup,
nuts, whipped cream and cherries.
A small swimming pool served as
the dish from which the sundae
was created. The six contestants
for SUN Area dairy princess
helped in the preparations.

A sundae
to celebrate Ice Cream Month
and Dairy Council will continue to
promote ice cream during July
which is National Ice Cream
Month. A promotion will be run in
supermarkets and convenience
stores throughout Pennsylvania in
order to increase the consumption
of ice cream. Mobiles and display
material have been designed for
placement in the frozen food
section of stores. They encourage
consumers to take home ice cream
during Ice Cream Month.
The promotion will be supported
by $4.5 million in corresponding
television advertising, purchased
by the National Dairy Board. Ice
cream manufacturer’s are ex-
«*
in a swimming pool
pected to support their brands
through an additional $8 million in
advertising. The theme for the
promotion is “Ice Cream the
Beautiful.”
Ice cream has great potential for
promotion in Pennsylvania. The
Keystone State has the highest per
capita consumption for ice cream
in the country. It also ranks 2nd in
ice cream production, with 80.3
million gallons produced by
Pennsylvania during 1984.
The American Dairy Association
and Dairy Council is a dairy
promotion agency funded and
directed by dairy producers from
Pennsylvania, New York, and New
Jersey.

Editor’s Note: As a participant
in tbe International 4-H Youth
Exchange, Lancaster Countian
Jody Henkel is spending six
months in Greece, where she will
have the opportunity to closely
observe another culture.
Throughout her stay, she will be
sending letters to Lancaster
Farming about her trip. Below is
Jody’s first letter.
Dear Friends:
Another International 4-H Youth
Exchange, Fem from Rhode
Island, and I are spending six
months in Greece. The first seven
weeks are at the American Farm
School in Thessalonihi (or
Salonica). The school is primarily
run to educate Greek youths in
normal high school classes plus
agricultural techniques.
During the summer, a program
initialed S.W.A.P. brings in
Americans and Hollanders to work
at the school. This year, there are
four Americans and three
Hollanders. (You find out that
anyone from the United States is
an American, not an lowan or a
Pennsylvanian). Also there is the
Greek Summer Program where
approximately 50 American high
school students (ages 16 to 19)
come to work. They spend part of
their time at the school and then go
to a village to work on a com
munity project.
Outside our second floor dor
mitory room, we see gently rolling
fields and mountains. The fields

have just been harvested of the
dryland wheat and soon they will
plant corn. Since they have a
longer growing season (it averages
65°F. during October in Salonica),
they usually get two crops in one
field.
However, the dry, hot weather of
July and August means they must
irrigate. Their irrigation consists
of a sprinkler on wheels attached
to a long hose that is taken to one
end of the field. Due to water
pressure, the sprinkler is pulled to
the other end of the field so the
hose wraps around a big drum.
Very effective, but it takes all day
to water one strip of land.
Another side to Greece is to see
the sunrise over the mountains
where the roosters crow, pigs
squeal, dogs bark and peacocks
cry out. The coolness of the early
morning hours does not forewarn
you of the heat to come. During
July, the shops and workers start
early in the morning around 7
a.m. till 2:30 p.m. then, lunch and
time to rest. Greeks do not work in
the hot sun. Depending on the type
of store, they reopen about 5 p.m.
and close at 8 p.m.
Also, not all store hours are the
same from day to day. Thursday
nights are late (until 9 p.m.) while
other days are shorter (until 6:30
p.m.).
The first seven weeks at the
school are great because it allows
us to ask lots of questions about
Greek culture and language while
getting answers in English.
Until next time
