MOUNT JOY, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1954
Offers Plan
For Aiding
The Farmer
J. Collins McSparran,
tary-treasurer of the Pennsyl-
vania Council of Farm Organi-
zations and executive secretary
for the Pennsylvania State
Grange, spoke Tuesday noon at |
the Mount Joy Rotary Club’s
Farmers Day.
A large representation of
farmers from the surrounding
area were guests of Rotarians.
Frankly admitting that farm-
ers in the nation as a whole are
today beset with serious prob-
lems, Mr. McSparran plunged
into a discourse on things that
should be done to solve
problems.
He pointed to agriculture as
the largest single industry in
America, an industry that
spends annually 30 billion dol-
lars. said McSparran:
“I'm proud of agriculture,
proud of the product it produc-
es and proud of the record of
production it has shown in the
face of many handicaps. . . ”
Citing agriculture’s import-
ance to the rest of the economy,
the speaker commented on the
fact that “if agriculture is in
trouble, it will not be long be-
fore the rest of our economy
will be in trouble . .."”
As solutions for the farmer’s
problems, Mr. MecSparran sug-
gested:
1. A broader program of re-
search and extension. He visual-
ized the use of farm products in
a wide variety of fields, which
can be accomplished only thru
research and extension services
which will take the findings of
research back to the farmer for
his use.
2. Establishing of a two-price
system. By such a plan, the
speaker said, there would be
two prices for farm products;
one, established for products for
human consumption; the other,
for products turned to other us-
Said McSparran: “Such a
plan will turn our production

Local Girl’
Script Is
Chosen
According to word received
from R. H. Burgess of the Char-
lotte, N. C. Radio Station WBT,
a play will be presented at 8:00
p.m. next Thursday evening,
Oct. 21, which was written by
Joanne B. Hess, Mount Joy.

| fourteen-year-old blind and
crippled local girl, will be pre-
sented on a half-hour program
entitled the ‘People’s Play-
house” which is under the di-
rection of Robert White.

“Mr. Piano” which is a story of
a concert pianist who was stric-
ken blind; he meets a girl who
inspires him to go back to play-
ing the piano. WBT is found at
1110 on the radio dial.
