82-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, August 12, 1995 Ida’s Notebook by Ida Risser In the last few months, we have been visited by most of our grand children. They range in age from a few months to several years. Some of the older ones have summer jobs or are involved in athletic camps. The elementary school-age boys eat with us and sleep with us but they like the Aum best for their waking hours. I have to get up ear ly or they will dash off to the farm before eating breakfast They love the animals there and play with the dogs, cats, calves, and baby pigs. Of course, the two boys on the farm are an attraction too. There is a very long farm lane where they can ride the bicycle. Sometimes the parents stay here with us and other times they simp ly drop off the children and go to meetings. Some children are so very inquisitive and get into everything drawers must be opened, screws unscrewed and delicate objects picked up and hopefully not dropped. The Teddy bears get moved from room to room as do the dolls. I never know where I’ll find my stuffed cow. Our black kitten disappeared about two weeks before the mo ther cat had another litter. Might she have led it astray? It seems this happened before. For several years I’ve had two goldfish but now only one big one as I found the little one on the bottom of the bowl this morning and buried it in the flower bed. Some fish have lived for years and years. It seems that one cannot tell from day to day what will happen next to us or to them. Beef Industry Partners With Wendy’s CHICAGO, 111.—Beef produc ers are joining forces with one of the country’s largest quick-service restaurant chains to help move more beef this summer. Through their beef checkoff program, pro ducers are working with Wendy’s beginning in August to promote the chain’s new Smoky Bacon Cheeseburger in 3,800 restaurants nationwide. The beef industry will help sup plement the chain’s promotion, which includes extensive broad cast/print advertisements and the production of in-store point-of purchase materials, including ceil ing banners and drive-up window signs that show three different burger “combos.” The materials, which will encourage patrons to purchase the beef value meals, will remain in Wendy’s restaurants throughout the year. The checkoff logo will appear qn all industry supported materials. Larry Oltjen, a beef producer from Robinson, Kan., and chair man of the BIC foodservice sub committee, said the promotion is an important element in the indus try’s summer campaign because it helps move more beef at the point of sale. “People who see our ma terials will be more likely to pur chase beef,” Oltjen said. “An add ed benefit is the opportunity to strengthen partnerships within the foodservice industry and get that beef marketing channel excited about our product.” mw.D. ■ ESPEWSHADE » W | .Coal Yard • EHjnbethtowiij Mb 1 1-800-373-9704 CUSTOM MADE FEED BINS FOR FARMS FEED MILLS • Made of 13 gauge Steel • All welded seams • Gravity Flow or Auger Free Estimates Also - Steel Roof Trusses for Buildings - Portable Hog Buildings • Bucket Elevators - Grain Augers Distributors - Flow Pipes & Accessories We Sell, Service & Install Ph: 717-345-3724 Fax: 717-345-2294 STOLTZFUS WELDING SHOP Owner - Samuel P.
