Dairy Princess You Ask ' * \ > 0 ? -j ? ?o You Answer In response to readers’ questions, this column is for readers who have questions but don’t know who to ask for the answers. In the past, many readers sent non cooking requests to Cook’s Question Corner, a cooking column on page B 8. “You Ask You Answer” is for non-cooking ques tions. The concept is the same: When a reader sends In a question, it will be printed in the paper. Readers who know the answer are asked to respond by mailing the answer, which will then be printed In the paper. Questions and answers to this column should be addressed to You Ask You Answer, Lou Ann Good, P.O. Box 609, Ephrata, PA 17522. QUESTION A. Nolt of New Holland would like to know the words to the complete poem that was recited in the 1920 s when her father-in-law went to school. The poem contains these lines: The carpenter’s house is falling down. The preacher's kids are the worse in town.... Since this request appeared, Theresa Litecky, Eastampton, N.J., and several others have written to say they remember parts of this poem and can hardly wait to see the complete poem. Since no one has answered this request for several weeks, we assume readers do not know the answer and will drop the request unless we receive the complete poem immediately. QUESTION—Romaine B.

Correspondent CENTRE HALL (Centre Co.) “It’s a good way to round out my last year in 4-H,” Rachel Tanis says of her decision to be Centre County’s Dairy Princess.
