FUNGUS INFECTION ON ALFALFA DIAGNOSED By Max Smith The fungus infection on al falta planis for the past month has been diagnosed as pepper spot; the seems to be attacking virtual ly all varieties of alfalfa in stages of growth. Very nall, brown, sunken lesions velop on the lower leaves; turn yellow, dry, fall from the plant with the slightest movement. There is no fungicide federally ap- proved for the control of this disease; the factors controll- ing the infection are moisture and cool temperatures. When temperatures go above 75 de- grees and the humidity drops, the alfalfa plants should out- grow the disease.

FIRE EXTINGUISHERS IMPORTANT HOME SAFETY FEATURE Fires which start small may never grow, big if fire extin- guishers are installed and fa- mily members learn how to operate them, say Extension home management specialists at Penn State. Home fire ex. tinguishers can control a small fire or delay the devel- opment of a large one until - help arrives. Three types of fires are of concern to families. Class A fires begin in wood, paper, textiles, grass, trash and simi- lar materials. Class B fires are commonly called grease fires. These also include fires invol- .ving gasoline, oils, paints, ker- osene and solvents. Class C fires invoive electrical eqwip- ment. Pressurized water extin- guishers are effective on Class A fires only. Foam extinguish- ers which contain a mixture of water, bicarbonate of soda and a foam stabilizing agent work only on Class A and B blazes and will not control a Class C fire. Both carbon dioxide and mu'ti-purpose dry chemical extinguishers can be used on all classes of fires, However, the Extension specialists sug- gest the multi-purpose variety may work best in the home. The multi-purpose dry chemical variety controls blaz- es up to 12-feet away. The NEWCOMER MOTORS PHONE 653-4821 We Have A large Selection Good Used Cars 71 Chev.

MANHEIM, PENNA. - Thanks for your Patience and Cooperation The unbelievable destruction, the magnitude of personal losses, the terrifying power of tropical storm Agnes will be etched in people's memories for all time, Equally memorable has been the understanding of PP&I.’s problems exhibited by our customers. People desperately in need of electric service patiently made do while our crews worked around the clock to restore service. We are indebted to all who helped speed the job of restoring service under the worst possible conditions. Thanks go to other groups which have lent a hand battling the storm; local police and firemen, the telephone companies, civilian defense authorities, the National Guard, municipal cleanup crews, the Red Cross the press and others. Everybody has been just great in seeing that our people got every possible assistance in getting electricity back on the job. Restoration efforts are still under way and will be for a while in some areas. Many of the electrical repairs made have had to be of a temporary nature requiring follow-up work for months to come, Despite an unfinished job, we want to say, “Thanks a million for your patience, Your help and your understanding.” PENNSYLVANIA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY ARANLERBERANANN ARNE EEE EEN RR EE A ——————— by mn
