In 1987, when a dozen area " farmers lost their barns to arson fires, the Amish were here again to help build new ones. Now, six barns destroyed by arson fire in mid-March have left the Amish in need of help. The arson fires in Centre County, which is where Penn State Univer- iE sity is located, have killed 38 draft ‘1 anddriving horses, and about 130 cows, according to Robert Frey, of ~ Dallas, who has established a fund to help the Amish replace their losses. “I lived in Kingston in the 1972 Flood and a lot of the Amish came ' to help,” said Frey, who moved to 1. the Back Mountain from Lancas- ter County where many Amish live in 1953. “I want to help these folks be- ‘cause | know what they're up fund to help the Amish 1 By ERIC FOSTER | Post Staff against,” said Frey. “What made it sobad, spring is the worst possible time. In April they should start planting. They don't have the equipment or the horses either.” While the barns have all been rebuilt, Frey said that animals, and horsedrawn equipment are needed so the planting can begin. “They need horse-drawn farm equipment, especially harrows,” | said Frey. “Because of the lateness | of the season, it should be in us- able condition. They can repair il um but they don't have the time.” Ifanyone has horse-drawn farm | equipment that they would be willing to sell to the Amish, call Robert Frey at 675-4374. “They don’t want to take a lot for | nothing, they're proud,” said Frey. | Those wishing to donate money | to be used to replace the animals which were killed and burned can | send the donations to: Big Valley Fire Relief Fund, care A NEW BARN — Ralph Sands at his barn in Carverton.
