Anti-
inflation
seed and
garden
program
A state-wide seed pro-
gram will be repeated this
year under the title ‘‘The
Anti-Inflationary Seed and
Garden Program of Penn-
sylvania.”” The seeds are
available to all residents of
PA. Low and fixed income
individuals especially are
encouraged to participate
in the program to reduce
high food costs.
Across the nation, gar-
dening is increasing in
popularity. Locally, partici-
pation in the seed and
garden program is also
increasing. Last year seeds
were distributed in Lancas-
ter County to approximate-
ly 1,600 family units, an
increase of 600 family units
over the previous year.
More participation is ex-
pected for this year, the
third year of the program.
The program has many
direct and indirect benefits.
Not only does it provide
fresh nutritious vegetables,
but also indoor, healthy
exercise. Gardening is a
creative family activity as
well as a means of lowering
family food costs.
Each seed packet con-
tains the following ten
varieties:
Beans, Golden Wax-Yel-
low Bush; corn, Golden
Bantam; carrots-Danver Y:
long; radishes, Scarlet
Globe; squash, Zucchini;
lettuce, Grand Rapids;
peas, Triple Treat; beets,
Detroit Dark Red; turnips,
Purple Top White Globe;
cucumbers, Long Green.
The cost is 37c plus
shipping per packet of ten
varieties.
Agencies and groups are
encouraged to request bulk
orders for their clients and
members. Individual orders
are also accepted. Seed
packets can be ordered by
sending a written request
including a stamped, self-
addressed envelope to Ella
M. Newswanger, Commun-
ity Action Program, 630
Rockland Street, Lancaster,
PA 17602. The self-add-
ressed, stamped envelope
will be used to contact
persons when seeds arrive.
All orders must be in no
later than January 20,
1977. The see shipment is
about
March 15, 1977. All orders
will need to be picked up at
Community Action Pro-
gram. Payment will be due
upon receipt of seeds.
“If only I'd had my seismometer,”’
geologist Ray Cheeseman on New Year’s Day.
Hanuery S, 1977
said visiting
Noted geologist finds
tremors in Marietta
Geologist Ray ‘‘Big
Cheese’’ Cheeseman, of
Roswell, New Mexico,
predicted an earthquake
in Marietta during a visit
with Susquehanna Times
editor Rick Bromer last
week.
Mr. Cheeseman is one of
the world’s leading experts
on North American potash
deposits, but his cred-
entials as an earthquake
predictor are nonexistent,
at best.
On the other hand,
Cheeseman is a bona fide
geologist.
At about midnight on
New Year’s Eve, Cheese-
man thought he detected
an earth tremor.
“The room is shaking!”
he shouted, leaping to his
feet. At that instant, the
whole room began to rock
like a rudderless Zeppelin
in a typhoon.
“‘Earthquake!’’ Cheese-
man muttered, as the
impact sent him sprawling
to the buckling floor.
The next morning, the
noted geologist admitted
that he might have made a
mistake.
“It was a totally unscien-
tific, off-the-cuff sort of
opinion,”” he allowed. “I
just wish I had packed my
seismometer. Then we’d
have some hard evidence.”
Mr. Cheeseman has de-
ected earthquakes in many
corners of the world over
the last ten New Year's
Eves.

dations, etc.)

ough Hall on February 23;
