There are invit- ing ski lodges, with big op- en fires and a view of the skiers. There is friendliness and adventure. If we were ten years younger, we might join them. ‘As it is—‘“Happy Landings! * * * The Science Fair was in- {eresting last weekend, with its sharp contrasts between the projects of the scientists and the non-scientists! It was easy to tell which stu- dents really cared about their projects — and which did not. We heard one young mo- ther of a junior high exhibit or lamenting, “Five more years of science projects for Mary—and then six for lit- tle Jimmy. I wonder if I can last that long!” *® * We heard this week of an unusual way to celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary! The anniversary of the couple, who are Mount Joy residents, is in April, but they are postponing the cele- bration until this summer, when they plan to take a seven-day cruise to the Car- ibbean! No “rocking chair” observ- ance for this adventuresome couple. Congratulations, and Bon Voyage! The redheaded pine saw- fly ravages the young pine stands and plantations thru- out the eastern half of North America, from Ontario south to the Gulf of Mexico. Before upholstering a chair decide if it is of good de- sign and sturdy enough for the intended use, advises Mrs. Helen T. Puskar, Penn State extension home furn- ishings specialist. Consider your individual resources, and the time, effort, and ex- pense involved in doing the job, and if the family will enjoy the chair enough to justify your work. THE BULLETIN, MOUNT JOY, PA. Over e Back Fence By Max Smith THIS is the time of the year that many farmers will be going into their fields with tractors and all types of farm machinery. Records show that over 600 people are killed each year by trac- tors, and an additional 5000 injured. Safety authorities feel that three out of every four people killed or injured by tractor upsets could be saved if the tractors were equipped with protective frames, crush-resistant cabs, or safety belts. Machinery dealers should be consulted about this extra equipment. Also, machinery operators may prevent many accidents if they will only follow the basic rules as listed by the manufacturer. Machines should be operated at the recommended speeds, all guards and shields kept in place, and children should be kept away from machin- ery and forced to follow the strict safety measures. SHEEP producers are urged to give some attention to in- creased milk production from the nursing ewe; the average ewe will produce 2 to 3 guarts of milk per day un- der normal conditions. Ewes that are nursing twin lambs should be fed 1 to 2 pounds of grain per day plus all the good legume hay she will consume; ewes with single lambs may need only half this amount of grain. The flesh of the ewe can be ex- pected to decline during the gestation period but not to the point where she is ex- tremely thin. Ewes that lamb during the summer and have access to lush pasture, should not require any extra grain to raise even twin lambs. SEVERAL inquiries have been received at our Exten- sion Office regarding the proper time to prune fruit and shade trees. I've heard this question answered in the past by saying, “when- cver you have a pair of sharp shears and the time”. This might be one answer but I'm not sure it is the best one. By pruning these trees during the dormant sea- son, we get less loss of tree juices and are able to thin and shape the tree without being bothered with the leaves. Most evergreen irees should not be pruned now (except Spruce) because that is a warm weather job about the time new growth is be- ing made. Cuts of one inch or more in diameter should be treated with tree paint in order to prevent fungus in- fection and rotting. Many other shrubs such as fire- thorn and abelias should be pruned before new leaves appear. EVER SINCE the Babcock test was developed in 1890, the milkfat contained in milk and cream has been the pase for determining market value; this test has also been used for testing programs.

That is the appraisal of the Fort Walton Beach, Florida, newspaper in a recent inter- view with the former Mount Joy man who now is princi- pal of the Wright Element- ary school in that city. Son of the late George Brown II, he is a graduate of Mount Joy high school. Calling Brown a ‘‘dedicat- ed and enthusiastic teacher” the news article pointed out that for a two-year period (1963-65) he abandoned the class rooms to work with an advertising firm but despite the fact he made more mon- ey, he did not find the same satisfaction and went back to teaching. “You are dealing with the most important resource this country has,” he is quoted as saying. ‘If you can help in some way to mold that re- source and make better pros- pective citizens — you can make a better country for everyone,’ He went to Florida in the Air Force, where he served from 1957 to 1959 as assist- ant base education officer and school officer at Egland AFB. Upon completion of his tour of duty, he accepted the post of physical education instructor at an elementary school, where he remained until 1963. He is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Finance and Commerce, obtaining his degree in economics.

Using the theme ‘Seekers of Life”, the speakers will be Rev. Samuel H. Stoner and Rev. Merrill A. Hassing- er, Pastors of Salem church. Special music will be provi- ded each evening under the direction of Miss Pat Shonk, choir directress. The services on Sunday evening will begin at 7:00. The time is 7:30 for all oth- er evenings. Holy Commun- ion will be observed on Thursday evening. Everyone is welcome to at- tend, The nursery will be op- en each evening for pre- school children. * * * Raise Kindergarten Age The Manheim Central School Board changed Kkind- ergarten admittance age re- cently and joined the grow- ing list of county school boards who say they feel present admission ages are too young. Under the new age requir- ments, a child must be four years and nine months old before Sept. 1, 1969, to be admitted for the next school year. For the 1970-71 school year, a child must be five years old before Sept.-1 to be admitted. : The change occurred be- cause too many youngsters were entering school at too + young an age and did not have the ability to compete with older children, nor the maturity to handle the work. In other action, the board accepted the resignations of Mrs. Sharron T. Eckel, jun- ior and senior art teacher: Mrs. July L. Brookhart, high school English teacher; and Terry R. Sharrow, business- education teacher. Mrs. Julia Reinhold was hired to re- place Sharrow. The fact that the milkfat tests vary from time to time causes considerable confus- ion and has been the reason for many disagreements be- tween producer and buyer, Individual cow characteris- tics such as age, inheritance, stage of lactation, and condi- tion will affect the percent- age of fat; management prac: tices such as feed and the amount of exercise can cause teests to vary. Feeding pro- grams which tend to create low milkfat are rations low in roughage and high in con- centrates, heating or pellet- ing concentrates, grinding or pelleting hay, and large am- ounts of lush pasture or for- age. Tests may vary as much as .2 percentage points and everyone can be accurate and honest. Dairymen should understand the reasons for milkfat variations. The board hired seven new teachers for the 1969-70 school year, including H. D. Herneisen,. sixth grade; Leo D. Rossi, high school physic- al education; Miss Betsy Lan- dis, first grade; Miss Judith C. Hossler, first grade; Miss Catherine L., Dissinger, 4th grade; and Michael J. Ronan, junior high school geography. The school Band Parents asked the board to consider purchasing new band uni- forms and cited the condition of the old ones as the reason. The organization said new uniforms could bz purchased for $100 to $120 each. William Kotchi was ap- pointed director of the spec- ial education department. * * * P.T.A.

In jun- jor and senior high school the youngster has pretty well formed his own sense of values and it is more a ques- tion of helping him plan for his future life.” He believes that the main challenge in high school teaching is in helping the child find his own particular niche in life. i Speaking of programs in echool and the administra- tor’'s attitude, he is quoted as saying that ‘the most important thing in the school is to have a positive attitude, toward anything you do. Teachers will work together; everyone will pull in the same direction, Our teachers do not make problems—they solve them. Our teachers are not against things, They are “for” things.” Mrs. Brown is from the deep south. The couple boasts that they married “to do something about the Mason- Dixon line.” They have four children—three as students in the school where Mrs. Brown is a teacher. The chil- dren are: George, age 9; Jeff, 7; Drew, 6 and Beth, 3. Scouts to Hold First Aid Meet The Western District, Boy Scouts of America, will hold a first aid and fire safety competition between Scout troops on Saturday, March 29th. The troop competition, cali- led a Ready Rally, will be held from 9 am, to 1 p.m. in the gymnasium of Center- ville Junior high school, Centerville Road. Boy Scout troops participating in the rally will compete against one another in solving prob- lems that require appropri- ate first aid procedures and in meeting situations that in- solve fire safety in the home. Uniform arm patches will be presented to all Scouts parti- cipating, and the winning troop will receive an award in recognition of its achieve- ment, DO YOU ENJOY . A FIREPLACE. IN YOUR HOUSE. ?
