Rotary hosts farmers
McGrath is speaker
Nearly a score of local
farmers were guests of the
Mount Joy Rotary on Tues-
day, October 17th, when
the Rotary celebrated their
annual Farmers’ Day at
Hostetter’s.
Dan McGrath, liaison
expert with the U.S. De-
partment of Agriculture,
was the speaker. He talked
about the economic prob-
lems of farmers, whose
costs have gone up faster
than their incomes.
The Carter administra-
tion, McGrath said, is
trying to help by stimulat-
ing exports.
During the question and
answer period, he answer-
ed questions on energy,
red tape, and other
matters.
Abe Groff introduced the
speaker. He also arranged
the program (he is the
rural-urban chairman of the
Rotary).
President Lester Eshel-
man was in charge of the
meeting.

highways of the county, for
the most part unnoticed by
the general public.

the benefit of the Building
