FARM ABANDONMENT
According to a recent survey of
the State Planning Board, it reports
that farm abandonment in Pennsyl-
vania continues to multiply. The
Board claims this is due to increased
taxation, unsatisfactory marketing,
farm indebtedness and soil erosion.
In 1900, the peak year, there were
224,248 farms in the state. A steady
decline brought the number down to
172,419 farms in 1930 which is the
lowest number of any census year
since 1860.
This state’s farms, particularly
thruout this and all adjoining coun-
ties, are one of the people's most
valuable assets and we sincerely
hope that conditions improve tosuch
an extent that our farms will, ere
long, reach the point that they will
again be in great demand.
HOUSE-CLEANING
With Groundhog Day just around
the corner and folks wondering what
kind of a spring we are going to
have, the time has come to think of
house-cleaning again.
Indeed, we ought to be giving the
thought to the subject earlier this
year than ever. If you have a room
to be painted, plaster to be repaired,
an odd job of painting to be done,
masonry to be pointed, steps to be
put in order, floors to be refinished,
plumbing in need of attention, a
leaky roof that should be mended
you can get the work done more
cheaply now than later and you will
add to the opportunities for employ-
ment.
Your own particular share of this
relief work may be small, but if a
thousand other housholders join you
in having repairs of one kind or an-
other made, the aggregate will be a
real factor in the restoration of the
prosperity in this community.
Start your house-cleaning prepara-
tions a month early this spring.

MOMENTUM
As the pig iron furnaces and steel
mills run so goes business generally,
according to an axiom. Right now
these barometers of business foretell
better business and less unemploy-
ment next spring.
Pig iron and steel are the rawma-
terials for a vast number of major
manufactured products, chief among
which are automobiles, railway equip
ment, bridges, buildings, hardware
and household articles. The iron and
steel being made this month will soon
find their way to innumerable fac-
tories. Therefore any increase in the
iron and steel production today is
the forerunner of increased industrial
and structural activity generally.
Increasing production at the fur-
naces is exactly what has taken place
this month. As for the steel mills,
their output is the highest since last
fall.
On the basis of these infallible o-
mens there is more than blind optim
ism behind the prosperity predictions
now being heard on all sides.
That army of unemployed will be
greatly decimated by the resumption
of construction in the spring and by
the seasonal employment that will
be afforded by agriculture and allied
enterprises.
WHY FARMERS DECREASE
Reports have been numerously
published and they are true, that the
farmers are decreasing yearly and
now we have less than at any time
in many, many years.
Numerous reasons are given name-
ly: increased taxation, unsatisfactory
marketing, farm indebtedness, soil
erosion while McCullough in the In-
tell-Journal claims “The deflating of
the farmer in 1921 and the business
and banking interests leaving him to
shift for himself” is solely respon-
sible.
Neither of the above, while they
all help to reduce our farm numbers
are as important as the following:
Our contention is that the Welfare
is largely responsible.
For many years, when work was
slack in the cities, everybody flocked
to the country where they claimed,
and rightfully too, they could at
least earn a living.
When conditions improved in the
manufacturing world, some of these
others.
families would return, while .
having enjoyed fresh air, God’s green
acres and numerous other advantages

START WORK ON
NEW FARM CENSUS
The 1935 census of agriculture be-
gan in Pennsylvania with the open-
ing of the new year,
This is the first detailed tabulation
of Pennsylvania farmsand of the ex-
tent of the farming business in the
Commonwealth to be made since
1930.
The results of this census are
anxiously awaited since they will be
the first complete statistics to show
the effects of the prolonged depres-
sion on the agriculture of Pennsyl-
vania.
In view of theextreme importance
of this census in determining future
policies relative to the welfare of the
farmers, the heartiest cooperation of
farm owners and operators with the
census enumerators, is being urged.
The census covers100 items not all
of which obviously will apply toeach
farmer. The census bureau assures
all farmers that the information giv-
en will be kept strictly confidential,
and will not be used as a basis of
taxation, nor communicated to any
tax official.

SAFE HARBOR TO HAVE
STEAM ICE-BREAKER
A steam propelled ice-breaker har
been ordered by the Safe Harbor
Power Corporation and will be
launched in the Susquehanna river
above the Safe Harbor dam.
It will be fifty feet long and 14
feet wide. The craft will be the
first of its kind to operate on the
stream north of Port Deposit and
will have a plowing capacity of 18
inches. The boiler, engine and other
equipment have arrived at the dam
but the steel hull has not been com-
pleted.
The ice breaker will be used to
keep open a channel in their river
from the dam to Washington Boro,
during the freezing weather. The
open channel will help prevent the
forming of gorges when the ice field
breaks.

remained on the farm.
There always was a trend to and
from, but now it’s different. If an
industry closes, even in the smallest
country town, there comes almostin-
stant relief to those dependent fam-
ilies thru the Welfare.
Why should the individual worry?
Why should he seek a living? He
will be provided for.
While the Welfare has kept thous-
ands upon thousands from starving
and is a most wonderful “mother,”
there is such a thing as being too
good and spoiling people, and this
very thing, as we see it, is largely
responsible for deflation of farmers.
SAFEGUARDS
The average citizen is ignorant of
the elaborate precautions taken by
the public health service to protect
him from communicable disease both
at home and while traveling. It is
commonly known that quarantines
tre maintained and water sources
treated, but beyond that the citizen-
ry knows little of the work of local,
state and federal health agencies.
Careful guard is kept to protect
the health of travelers and to con-
trol the spread of disease from one
community to another and from one
state to another, and this requires
organization and care.
Railroad and steamship companies
would be unable to afford the health
protection, which they desire that
their patrons should enjoy, unless
they received the cooperation and ex-
pert knowledge of the public health
service,
Common carriers operate under the
strict regulations for: sanitary rea-
sons. Their water supply is tested
frequently. Foodstuffs sold in thein
dining rooms and cars are inspected
and the men and women who handle
that food must submit to medical ex-
aminations. The quarantines enfore-
ed on all steamships in international
transit are well known, but it is not
so well known that railroad yards in
which passenger coaches are cleaned
and replenished are under strict
sanitary supervision.
These facts help to explain why
communicable disease is seldom ecar-
ried from one community to another
by the traveling public.

FREY FURNITURE STORE, AT |
MARIETTA IS OFFERING GREAT |
VALUES IN ORDER TO CLOSE |
OUT THE BUSINESS
On page 8 of last week’sissue of the
Bulletin appeared a full page adver-
tisement of the Frey Furniture Store
conducted by Samuel L. and Samuel
P. Frey at 105 West Market Street,
Marietta. They announced their
closing out furniture sale,
This is beyond a doubt one of the
oldest and best established business
firms in the state. It was originally |
started by Samuel F. Frey on Jan. 3,
1872. The earlier kin of the Freys
were well known in Mount Joy.
Rev. Abram Frey, father of Samu-
el F. Frey, died when the latter was
five years of age. The former Frey
was a minister of the Evangelical
Association, and was buried in the
graveyard adjoining the Evangelical
church here, and after the family
plot was purchased in the Mount Joy
cemetery, was removed there.
His son, Samuel F. Frey, was born
near Bloomfield, Perry Co. For some
years he was a student in the public
schools of Mount Joy boro and for
one year was under the instruction
of Christian Engle, a most capable in-
structor near town. He left school at
the age of sixteen and faced the
stern realities of life for himself. On
Feb. 1st, 1868, he apprenticed him-
self to Henry S. Myers, in our boro,
to learn the trade of cabinet-maker
and undertaker, remaining employed
here for three and one-half years.
Our older citizens will remember
that Henry S. Myers was father of
the late Harry “Jig” Myers, on Mar-
jetta street. He was employed for
many years by the late David H.
Engle.
Established at Marietta
On Jan. 3, 1872 Frey went to Mar-
jetta, found a suitable location and
at once embraced the opportunity of
embarking in business. He rented =
small cabinet shop and wareroom in
the Welchans building in that boro
and then bought a stock of furni-
ture and funeral supplies. In 1877
he purchased the Roath property,
razed it and erected the present 3-
story brick building 50x80 ft. Before
opening there for business he held
religious services in the building at
which time Rev. A. B. Saylor, pastor
of the United Evangelical church, at
Mount Joy, preached the sermon.
Later he took his son, Samuel L.
Frey as a partner and the business
was continued until a few years ago
under that name.
In later years he moved to Lan-
caster and died there only a few
months ago, being the oldest licensed
undertaker in the state. A short time
prior to his death he had already fil-
led out his application for a state li-
cense for 1935. He was married to
Miss Anna H. Longenecker, eldest
daughter of Rev. John B.Longeneck-
er, of the old Brethren in Zion, then
located at Florin.
The well known and long estab-
lished firm still continues to do bus-
iness under the Frey name.
Samuel L. Frey, son of the late
Samuel F. Frey, succeeds his father
and has associated with him his son,
Samuel P. Frey.
Samuel L. Frey, senior member of
the present firm, was educated in
Albright College. He, like his fath-
er and grandfather, is a leader in his
home town, socially, politically and
in business. He served very faithful-
ly as a school director for a number
of years and is an untiring church
worker.
His son, Samuel P. Frey, who is
associated with him in business is
also very popular in the community.
The firm conducts funeral parlors
in Lancaster city and Marietta, being
the original firm, and enjoys a large
patronage.
During all these 63 years that the
furniture business has been conduct-
ed, they have enjoyed the utmost
confidence of a multitude of patrons
and friends and have conducted fun-
erals in all parts of the state.

Prevent Milk Freezing
When milk freezes the chemical
balance is disrupted by the breaking

ture. Under these conditions true

HEATING HINTS
NE mistake that a great many
home owners make is in not
putting enough coal on the fire. This
18 a false economy. A thin, skimpy
fire not only burns up too fast,
goes out more easily, and causes
many unnecessary trips to the
cellar, but it also wastes fuel.
For the most economical opera-
tion, always put on enough fuel to
keep the fire-bed level with the
bottom of the fire-door.
In mild weather you can leave a
little heavier accumulation of ash
on the grate. The fire will then
burn very slowly, yet there will be

1934 WAS “WORST”
FOREST FIRE YEAR
|
The year 1934 was one of the worst
for forest fires in the history of forest
protection in Penn's Woods, George H.
Wirt, chief forest fire warden of Penn-
sylvania, reported today.
There were 4170 fires burned in the
woodlands of the State last year, ac-
cording to the Bureau of Forest Pro-
tection where are recorded the: fire
statistics for the Department of Forests
and Waters. These conflagrations
burned close to 180,000 acres and cost
the Commonwealth $146,500 to exting-
uish.
April was the month having the
largest number of forest fires, when
1071 blazes were reported throughout
the State.
The greatest acreage, however, was
burned in May. During this month |
occurred one of the largest forest fires
since records have been kept by the
department, a conflagration that cov-
ered 39,900 acres, most of which burn-
ed in northern Centre county.
Despite the large number of fires and
the extensive acreage burned, attrib-
uted by Wirt to the prolonged dry sonst
son in 1934, 60 per cent. of the fires
were under ten acres in area. Last
year was the most severe season in!
point of area burned since 1930, al- |
though there were 700 more fires in|
1932 than in 1934.

ADVERTISING
Advertising and not competition
is now the life of trade, according
to the advertising experts who met
to attend the Internatienal Adver-
tising Association convention. The
delegates at this meeting heard a
number of interesting things.
Among these was the statement
by Charles Stelzle, New York ex-
pert, to the effect that if churches
do not advertise their “ware”’—
spiritual upbuilding and moral
betterment for both the individual
and humanity—they cannot hope
to arouse interest among the mass-
es and fulfill the obligations plac-
ed upon them as parties to the
general spiritual movement.
Another speaker declared that
“advertising is greater than any
single moral force we know of to-
day. Advertising brings about
changes for the betterment of life
itself, changes which fuse into the
social and political life of the na-
ion.”
It is now generally admitted by
economic forces everywhere that
advertising is the most important
development of modern business.
And it is also coming to be realiz-
ed that newspaper advertising is
the best kind of paid publicity. In
the convention just mentioned the
delegates who were advertising ex-
perts, agreed that newspaper ad-
vertising affords the best publicity
medium for the churches and all
church activities,
