FRIDAY, JANUARY 14,
Farmers Price
Index Declines
Drops Three Points
After Advancing Six
After advancing six points be-
tween July and November, the in-
dex of prices Pennsylvania farmers
receive for principal products de-
clined three points or about one per
cent during the month ended De-
Agriculture announced today.
The index, based on 1910-14 pric-
es as 100 in mid-December stood at
244 or eight per cent under a year
previous, Federal-State surveys
showed.
Farm prices for crops showed an
overall advance between November
15 and December 15. However, these
gains were more than offset by de-
clines in livestock and livestock
products, including milk and eggs.
Wholesale milk averaged $5.00 a
hundred pounds return to farmers,
a drop of 10 cents from a month
earlier. Eggs declined four cents a
dozen. The livestock index, at 248
on December 15, showed a drop of
six points or two per cent from No-
vember 15, and nine per cent below
a year earlier.
Ali crops except vegetables par-
ticipated in the Pennsylvania crop
index rise of seven points for the
month, the Department said. High-
er prices received by farmers for
apples on December 15 advanced the
index sharply for the fruit group.
An increase of four cents a bushel
dex four points. Soybeans advanced
five cents to raise the oil group five
points. Baled hay advanced 30 cents
to average $30.60 a ton.

Ambulance Asso.
Reelects Porter
Theodore Poad Will
Head Fund Drive
Kingston Township Ambulance
Association installed new officers at
Sunday afternoon’s meeting in
Trucksville Fire Hall. Martin Porter
was reelected for the third succes-
sive year. William Purcell was made
first vice president, Richard Prynn
Myrtle Major, secretary;
Theodore Poad treasurer, also chair-
man of the April 1 to 10 fund drive,
assisted by Emil Klinges, vice chair-
man.
Mr. Poad, in laying the founda-
tions for the spring drive, sites that
there are 1326 families in the Town-
ship, and that his intention is to
allocate the solicitation so that no
solicitor needs contact more than
six homes. It will be appreciated,
says Mr. Poad, if residents male
their contributions of $2 per family
before the opening date of the drive.
Half the amount collected will be
used for operating expenses, and
half will be added to the sinking
fund for emergency. Checks may be
mailed to the treasurer, Box 25,
Shavertown.
Four general meetings per year
are planned: second Sundays in
April, July, September and Janu-
ary, at Trucksville Fire Hall. The
idea of formation of an auxiliary
has been abandoned. Instead, men
are urged to bring their wives to
the four general meetings per year,
with the understanding that a fami-
ly membership gives the wife a right
to cast a vote.
