After a glimpse of America as
an exchange student, Wemer soon
decided he wanted to become an
American and received his citi
zenship in 1974.
Speaking of the recent break
down of the Berlin wall, Wemer
says, “Opening the borders shows
what people will choose when
given a choice.”
Wemer followed a long line of
speakers at the meeting which was
chaired by Ken Mowry, president
Jack McMullen, chairman of
the Wildlife Damage Control
Committee, said they were asking
the Pennsylvania Game Commis

for four counties,” he said.

to write to their legislators about
when he noted that Clinton’s
proposed energy tax would add 17
percent to the price of oil, IS per
cent to the price of coal, and 11
percent to the price of gasoline.
He also mentioned the North
American Free Trade Agreement
and Minor Use Pesticides bill as
two other issues of which fanners

Harold Shaulis, state PFA
director, stated that PFA is cur

milk rate.
He noted that there are present
ly two dairy farmers serving on
the milk marking board, which is a
plus. “We hope we can continue
this,” Shaulis said.
Shaulis also supported the
nutrient management bill which
would allow 2,000 pounds of red
meat per tillable acre.

farmers, certainly something they
can live with,” he said.
Rod McKenrick, region 3 orga
nization director, reported on a
trip he had recently taken to Hol

makes all of the decisions. Don’t
leave the government take over
the food supply in this country,”
he said.

A Two-Stage Plan!
When resting on the floor, the Cumberland HI-LO Pan

Because the pan needn’t be “flooded,” you’re delivering only as

As the birds grow and the line is raised... the Cumberland
