Farm-City Week To Bridge Gaps Between Rural, Urban People UNIVERSITY PARK (Centre Co.) Rural and urban Pennsyl vania have more in common than they realize, says Dr. Lamartine F. Hood, dean of Penn State’s Col lege of Agriculture, and the state’s annual Farm-City Week is a gbod time to discover those similarities. Hood is honorary chairman of 1989 Farm-City Week, a statew ide program designed to promote the interdependence of the state’s urban and rural areas. Each year local, state and national Farm-City Councils sponsor the event, which begins the Friday before Thanksgiving and continues through Thanksgiv ing Day, to help create an under standing of mutual issues faced by rural and urban residents. This year’s Farm-City Week begins November 17 and runs through November 23.
