The Mount Joy BULLETIN SECOND SECTION “VOL. 63. NO. 45 Mount Joy, Penna. Wednesday, April 15, 1964 by Max Smith Over The Back Fence IN RECENT YEARS we have heard much about the use of spray materials ‘and chemicals in agricul- ture; or a much better way to put it would be the “mis-use” of these materials . . . this has been the cause of most of the disturbance. As thefs om 1964 growing season unfolds, we want to caution all home-owners and extra careful with all spray sure and read the instructions and follow them. Store all chemicals away from chil farmers to be materials. B dren and livestock and be certain each one Sess * is clearly identified. THE IMPORTANCE of early spring seed- Eas fe ing of lawns and pastures cannot be over- Max Smith emphasized. Here in southeastern Pennsylvania the weath- er gets hot and dry early in the summer as compared tc many other parts of the state. This means that if these new seedings do not get well established by early June, they will dry up and burn out. Many folks who have made May and June seedings have learned this the hard way. Every effort should be made to get these seedings made by mid-April, unless wa- ter supplies are available for regular watering and irriga- tion. In many cases it may be advisable, if the seeding cannot be made in April, to (Turn to page 4) by Doris W. Thomas Timely Tips for Women Proper Way To Store Fresh Meat Fresh meat is perishable and needs proper storage. You should store it in the refrigerator as soon as you get home from shopping. If fresh meats are wrapped in market paper, remove the paper and cover the meat loosely with waxed paper, or aluminum foil. Wrapping loosely allows air to circulate. Store meat in the meat compartment of your refrigerator. If you must keep fresh meat longer than two or three days, it’s best to freeze the meat. Separate chops, steaks, and ground meat patties with two layers of freezer paper, then wrap meat in moisture- vapor proof paper and freeze. For the best flavor, color, tex- ture and appearance, use fresh pork, veal, and ground beef within four months, use lamb within seven months, and beef within eight months * Ad ® Today's Labels Today’s labels are attract- ive, informative, and easy-to- (Turn to page 10) by Dr. Geo.

CASE 0-432: Nellie G., aged 41, is a spinster teacher. “Dr. Crane,” she began, “I have a brother 10 years younger. I have always spoiled him, even when he was a child. “For I furnished him too liberal an allowance. And I paid his way through college. “Then, when I was think- ing of getting married, he eloped with a girl whom he had made pregnant and as he had no job, I had to defer marriage in order fo help him, “Indeed, I used the trous- seau money I had saved to help him make a down pay- ment on a little house. “Before I could salvage en- ough savings to get married, his wife gave birth to twins, and he begged me for more aid. “Well, it has been going on like that till I have lost my last chance of matrimony. Recently, I refused him any more aid, for he has been leaning on me as a financial crutch ever since he entered kindergarten. “He owes me in unpaid notes over $15,000.

Cleaning of the social hall by these churches has been turned into a combination work and pleasure event, says the National Board. At 4 o'clock on a designat- ed Saturday afternoon, for instance members of the church who are planning to participate in the cleaning assemble, bringing their own dust mops, cleaning cloths, furniture polish, pails and de- tergents. Different parts of the hall are assigned to teams of three Three members are given the job of scouring the kitch- en range, another takes on the job of washing pots and pans and dishes, and other volunteers polish the silver. Others mop the kitchen floor. In the social assembly hall the floor is cleaned and wax- ed and polished. Usually the complete job can be done in less than an hour. Then a group of the women prepare a dinner. At 6 o'clock the members who have been engaged in the cleaning are joined by their families for a social hour. Then dinner is served at 7 o'clock. Members say this clean-up plan works, and at the same time, provides a ‘pleasant so- cial evening. Duties: The tasks we look forward to with distaste, per- form with reluctance, and brag about ever after.
