PAGE FOUR Over | The Back Fence by Max Smith WE ARE aware of the gen- eral comment that food prices have risen so much in recent years and most of us are ex- periencing this fact; however I would like to point out that not all items purchased al the grocery store these days are food items; surveys show that about 20% of the money spent at the grocery store is not for food items. Retail food stores have be- come major outlets for many non-food items such as drugs, clothing, toys, stationery and many other items. Our non- farm friends should not feel that the farmer is getting a penny of the non-food items and only about one-third of the dollars spent for food. Processing and servicing costs continue to mount in spite of less return to the producer. SWINE producers have ex- perienced a very profitable year and the outlook seems favorable for a quality pork preduct. At this time of the year when many herds are being bred for spring far- rowing, I'd like to stress the importance of using a good mezt-type boar. Present mar- kets demand a carcass with maximum red meat and less lard The breeder should rec- ognize this fact and try to produce animals carrying these qualities. The meat-type animals may be found in any breed and should be used in order to increase profits from the feeding business. Breed- ing animals with length, heavy muscling, and trimness should be the aim of all bree- ders THE BULLETIN, MOUNT JOY, PA. be tolerated on any farm or property and now is a good time to keep them from ac- cepting your place as their winter home, With colder weather coming the rodent problem about buildings will become more severe. All grain bins and storage places should be rodent-proofed in order to preserve this valu- able property. Production costs are high without allow- ing the rodents to eat and de- stroy any. They are a fire hazard about buildings and may carry diseases from oth- er livestock or poultry. A good cleanup program is one place to start followed by the elimination of any pos- sible nesting place. Stone walls, foundations, walks, floors, and other places where they may harbor should be concreted and kept tight. Poison bait stations will also help keep both rats and mice under control. Don’t put up with them; wage a special eradication program against them now. THE PROBLEM of keeping | well informed on any phase! of agriculture or grounds- keeping is a big one; changes are taking place at all times and today’s recommendations may be out of date this time next month. Id like to sug- gest the use of the Correspon- dence courses at Penn State university for the benefit of those who are not able to go away to college. These cours- es by mail are available only to Pennsylvanians and cover all phases of Agriculture and Home Economics. A nominal fee is charged to cover expen- ses.

That's one advantage of a regular allow- ance, says Mrs. Marguerite L. Duvall, extension child de- velopment and family life specialist of Penn State uni- versity. It’s easy to lose something if parents will replace it. But when a child has to spend his own money, it’s a different story. A child learns to make wise choices when he has an allowance, Mrs. Duvall points out. Perhaps he'll shop a- round before buying, or learn that he can’t buy everything he wants, and he'll have to decide what is most impor- tant to him. Parents don't always ap- preciate the choices a child makes. What is important to him frequently seems foolish to parents. Father may be- lieve it's much wiser for the child to buy sensible sport shirts. But the shirt he buys is the one he wants, the one he'll take care of, and the one he will probably wear until it's threadbare. Through his own buying experiences, a child can learn whether an article is worth the price. It may take shop- ping around. However, it may | be that when he finds how much the item costs, he does not really want it, Mrs. Du- vall adds. SHOP CAREFULLY FOR DRAPERY, AND CURTAIN FABRICS Before buying new fabrics for curtains or draperies, de- cide what the fabric needs to do in a room. ecide whether the fabric should filter light and strong sun rays, give privacy, cut drafts, or muffle sounds. A fabric also. helps to establish a mood or feeling. It can make a room seem smaller or more spacious. Since this is a major purchase it should: Give visual satisfaction; ful- fill the need for which it was bought; give the wear expect- ed of it; wash or dryclean satisfactorily; fit into the long-range home furnishings budget. Many of us judge window fabrics by color and beauty, but expect them to last for several years. No fibers are designed to hold up under all conditions, each has certain advantages and limitations. Remember that weave, the weight of yarn, and the fin- ishing process affect the way a fabric performs. In Viet Nam Army Private First Class David J. Enterline, 20, son of Mr. and Mrs. Amos A.

The Williams Family, star- red for the second season in Ice Follies which opens a 5- day run at Hershey Sports Arena Tuesday, December 6, became an act on advice from a friend in Chicago. Pat and Johnny Williams, Gold Medal roller skaters and later successful ice show skaters in Chicago, were not too sure of their future as a duo. A friend pointed out that 2 year-old Debbie, who had skated since she was 18 months old, would make a natural addition to the act. So Pat and Johnny took daughter Debbie home to Co- lumbus, Ohio, to work up an act—and became the “First Family of the Ice.” The new act was extremely successful and when Robbie, now 9, came along, he wanted to skate, too. Today, the Wil- liams family is one of the most successful ice novelty acts in the business. At a time of life when most little girls are dreaming of what they will be some day, Debbie, a bright and twink- ling 12 year-old, is trying to decide on a new career. She already has had ten years as a featured skater throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico. She also has AVOID PLASTIC HANGERS Clothes cleaned in a coin- operated drycleaning estab- lishment may have an odor of cleaning fluid. Air the clothes before wearing or storing, ad- vise Penn State extension clothing specialists. But do not use plastic hangers. Some- times enough solvent is left in heavy fabrics or shoulder pads to soften the plastic, then the hanger sticks to the fabric so it’s hard to remove without damaging the gar- ment. KEEP SEAMS FROM PUCKERING When seams pucker, it’s a sign that your sewing mach- ine needs adjusting for the type of thread you're using. Usually, puckering indicates that both top and bottom ten- sions need loosening, says Ruth Ann Nine, Penn State extension clothing specialist. To aid you in making neces- sary adjustments, refer to the instruction book that came with your machine. Unclaimed promises are like uncashed checks; they will keep us from bankrupt, cy, but not from want. —Havergal & Johnson Ice Follies of 1967, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1964 FIRST FAMILY ON ICE Front-to-back, it’s Debbie (12) and Robbie (9) with their par- eats, Pat and Johnny Williams. The Williams Family is on a picnic in the"Magical Garden of Dreams” in the new Shipstads playing at the Hershey Sports ~ NIF 67-3 acted in summer stock and has done television commer- cials. Debbie loves to skate but she also likes singing. She’s a talented.singer and has made several records, in- cluding “Rock Garden Rock” which she sings in this year’s Ice Follies. Whatever course her future might take, one thing is cer- tain her school work is more pressing than her car- eer, present and future. Deb- bie and her brother study by correspondence, working 3 to 4 hours daily under the tute- lage of Ice Folliettes Nancy Burns and Linda Dee, both university graduates. The Williams family func- tions as a unit in Ice Follies’ “Going on a Picnic’, while Debbie is a featured soloist in the “Magical Garden of Dreams” production. Ice Follies is scheduled for 7 shows, nightly at 8:10, on Tuesday through Friday and Saturday, December 10 at 1, 5 and 9 P. M. — Presents Book To Local Library In conjunction with Na- tional Children’s Book Week —October 30 through Novem- ber 5 — the Lancaster Auto- mobile Club has presented an appropriate book titled ‘Pa- trol Boy” to the Mount Joy Public Library. The presentation was made at the Library by Dean Gable of the Auto Club and Troop- er Edwin Grazer, School Safety officer of Troop J, Penna. State Police. The 96-page book, written by the noted children’s auth- or Marjorie GG. Fribourg, gives an interesting and com- posite picture of school safety patrol groups in a typical su- burban community. The school safety patrols were first organized in the early 1920’s by the Chicago Motor Club, and then estab- lished on a national scale by the American Automobile As- sociation. The first Patrol in Lancaster County was organ- ized in 1929. Today all Ele- mentary and most Junior high schools have patrols. Gable pointed out that since the safety patrols were organized, they have been one of the bright spots in the traffic accident picture. “Dur- ing their more than 40-years of existence”, he said: “the traffic death rate involving school age children has drop- ped by nearly 50 percent, while the rate for other age When in need of printing remember The Bulletin. groups has more than doub- ‘ led.” JELRY >A ly
