BEDFORD, (Bedford Co.)
James Weiler, multicounty farm
management agent, and Don
Evans, assistant dean of the Col
lege of Agriculture at Penn State
University were the key speakers
at the annual Bedford County
Extension Banquet.
“It is the volunteers who are the
key to the success of Extension,”
said Evans. He also commended
government on helping with the
success of Extension throughout
the state noting that county com
missioners Dick Rice, Kim Koon,
and Gary Ebersole along with
Dick Hess, state representative;
and Bud Shuster, congressman;
have all cooperated to make it a
success.
“A democracy is no better than
its people and the education they
receive,” Evans continued. He
also complimented the Extension
on doing a good job at helping
everyone learn more about the
world. “We are no longer a coun
ty, or a state or a nation that stands
alone.”
“Extension will continue to pro
vide support for continuing educa
tion,” Evans concluded.
Jim Weilcr thanked the Exten
sion for the part it played in his
trip to Poland this past summer.
Weiler took the trip with other
agents from Pennsylvania.

Bedford Extension Holds Annual Meeting
The purpose was to exchange
agriculture ideas with the country
of Poland. As a part of his talk,
Weiler showed a slide presenta
tion which outlined the highlights
of the exchange. He showed pic
tures of farmers in Poland raising
cauliflower, sugar beets, forage
beets, potatoes, pork, and a few
dairy farms.
For the most part, he found
farming methods in Poland to be
far behind those of the United
States. “But,” he said, “farming
isn’t the only place where this
country is lagging. It takes IS
years to get a telephone in Poland
and at least five to get a car.”
He said the trip was something
he had wanted to do ever since he
was a teenager.
Other highlights of the evening
included remarks from Bedford
County Dairy Princess Nicole
Childers who prepared cheese
appetizers for the dinner.
Fred Claycomb and Dottie
Bromley reported on the Regional
and State Extension Council.
Thelma Albright gave a positive
report on Legislative Day which
she and Tom Wakefield attended.
Special awards were presented
by County Agent Susan Fox to
Fred Claycomb and Loren Woy,
both past board presidents and to
Tom Eller, Sam Rose and Matth
ew Boyer.
