Grange Calls For Reform Of Act
WASHINGTON, D.C. The
National Grange has called on the
President and Congress to make
reform of the Endangered Species
Act (ESA) a major priority in
1994. Grange members believe
that ESA reform should balance
human costs with ecological bene
fits.
Grange delegates, meeting in
Cleveland, Ohio recently at the
127 th annual convention of the
National Grange, adopted several
Stores, Shoppers
Help Fight Hunger
LANCASTER (Lan
,-caster Co.) Four of
Lancaster County’s
largest independent
grocers—Shady Maple
Farm Market, Willow
Valley Market, Fergu
son and Hassler, and
Oregon Dairy Farm
Market have joined
with Water Street Res
cue Mission to help
Feed the Hunggry.
Beginning November
22 and concluding at
Christmas, these stores
will offer shoppers a
convenient way to do
nate the cost of one
meal for a homeless
person at Water Street
Rescue Mission.
At the cash registers
of each store, customers
will find a sign encour
aging them to “Feed the
Hungry” and a tablet of
coupons. Those who
want to give can tear off
a bar- or number-coded
coupon and hand it to
the cashier along with
their other groceries.
The cashier will scan
the coupon into the cash
register (or enter several
numbers) and $1.46
the average cost of one
meal at Water Street
Rescue Mission will
be added to the custom
er’s grocery bill.
Shoppers who wish
to give- more than the
cost of one meal can ask
the cashier to multiply
$1.46 by as much as
they want, just as simp
ly as if they were pur
chasing two or more
bottles of soda or cans
of soup. The coupon
along with the grocery
receipt can be used to
prove that the gift was
made to the mission.
The Rescue Mission
of Syracuse, New York
originated the program
last year in connection
with Wegmans, a gro
cery chain in the Syra
cuse area.
The money raised to
feed the hungry in Syra
cuse exceeded the pro
gram organizers’ ex
pectations, and this year
Wegmans encouraged

Mission to plan on rais
