WHEAT BY THE TRUCKLOAD is coming to harvest. Here, Ralph Yeagley, Manheim
R4, gives a quick inspection of a handful of grain as it spills out of a 750-bushel truckload at
Spangler’s Mill. The load came from near Quakertown. Price the day of delivery was a little
below $4, down from the top of $4.02,
paid by the local mill this season, to date.
Propose New Roads
In E. Donegal Twp.
Three stretches of high-
way — two arterial in nature
— are proposed for East
Donegal Township sometime
in the future, according to a
proposed comprehensive
planning report to be made
public Tuesday, Aug. 13.
Two — one major and the
other secondary — are in the
Mount Joy area.
One is the renewal of the
previous proposal which
would provide a bypass to
the east of Mount Joy bet-
ween Marietta and Road 230.
Ultimately, the road would
connect to the new four-lane
expressway, Road 283.
In general, the highway as
one traveled from the south,
would head northeasterly at
a point between Donegal
high school and the north end
of Long Lane.

It would cross Little
Chiques creek about a mile
south of Mount Joy and
follow along the east bluff of
the creek to Road 230. Total
new construction of this
major roadway would be
approximately 21, miles.
The other local through-
fare, of a secondary nature,
would be between South
Angle Street (Union School
road) eastward to the
Marietta Pike.
It would intersect Angle
Street near the Red Rose
Dairy Bar and Marietta
near, or at, School Lane,
which recently has been
rough graded from Marietta
to Pinkerton.
That distance would be a
little more than 3000 feet.
The third road building -
proposal is in the Western
part of the township.
Another secondary road, it
would run north from the
Vinegar Ferry road to a
point nearly .a mile north of
Maytown on the Maytown-
Elizabethtown road.

and John G. Hart, will
present its comprehensive
plan officially at a public

For
And About
Teenagers
THIS WEEK’S LETTER: I am |
a young lady who is nearly 17
years old. I have been going with
this one guy for nearly eight
months. When we went out on
our first date we started going’
steady. I cared a lot about him,
and I still do. I work on week-
ends, all except Sunday, and
sometimes on week nights. I
caught him out with another girl
after I got out of work one night.
That's when we started fighting.
After a while he begged me to
take him back, so I did. After I
took him back, he started treat-
ing me like a dog. I could only
take so much of this, now I'm
trying to forget him. I did love
him, though, and that’s the only
reason I went “all the way” with
him right before all our fighting
and troubles began. He is seven-
teen.
OUR REPLY: We think that
deep down you really realize
that this boy just used you.
What you thought of as love, he
thought of just as sex. Now that
he has finished using you, he’s
out looking for someone new.
You fell for one of the oldest
tricks when he told you, “If you
really love me, you'll . . .” You
now know how false his love was
for you, Don’t make the same
mistake again.

Price Of Gold
At London's Rothschild bank-
ing house, agents of five British
banking concerns meet to assess
daily supply and demand and to
set the free-market price of gold.
A wave of a little Union Jack
signals fresh orders affecting
prices.
Decimal Currency
Several nations have adopted
decimal currency systems and
now issue dollars, but Liberia
is the only one to use exactly the
same coin denominations as the
United States. Founded by freed
American slaves in 1882, Liberia
has many of its coins struck by
the U.S. Mint, and United States
currency circulates freely in the
African country. ;
Over The
Back Fence
by Max Smith
The 1974 Ag Progress Days
will be held at the Bloom-
sburg Fair Grounds on
August 28 and 29; many local
folks will recall the ’73 event
was held at Hershey Farms
during last summer’s hottest
weather. This year’s event
will not only feature various
crop variety plots and
harvesting demonstrations
but will have some special
evening programs for non-
farm people. A brochure is
available at our Extension
Office giving full details.
These events have special
programs for all members of
the family and local folks are
urged to spend a day at
Bloomsburg to keep current
with modern farming and
home-making practices.
Many phone calls in the
past week reflect a heavy
infestation of bagworms now
working on all kinds of trees.
These worms will grow in
size and their appetites will
also increase. The old bags
from last year are the source
of eggs for the current crop
of worms; these eggs hatch
during June and soon
develop into small worms
inside of a small bag; as the
summer goes along the
worms feed upon foliage and
get larger. The best time to
kill them with chemicals is
mid to late June when they
are small; however, at this
time property owners are
urged to spray with two
applications a week apart
with either Sevin, Diazinon,
or Cygon; thorough soaking
of the bags and nearby
foliage is important. Also, it
is strongly advised for the
owners to pick all of the bags
from the twigs this summer
and burn them or bury them
8 to 12 inches into the earth.
By destroying the present
bag in which there is a small
worm, there should be fewer
adults this winter to lay eggs
for next year. Proper timing
of spraying and the
destruction of the maximum
number of bags should give
control.
During the hot summer
months the farm pond
becomes a very popular spot
to beat the heat. Proper pond
safety is needed if we are to
prevent serious accidents in
the pond. Owners should
provide some supervision
among swimmers to be sure
safety measures are
recognized. Rescue equip-
ment such as a wooden
ladder, an inflated inner-
tube, a wooden raft, or
anything that can be used to
help a person in trouble in .
deep water should be on the
pond bank. No one should be
permitted to swim along
because of the danger of
sudden cramps or illness.
The pond owner should see
that this equipment is handy
and ‘that swimmers know
how to use it. Insurance
coverage should be carried
by the pond owners against
any liability claims.
We are aware of the in-
creasing number of pleasure
horses in the county. Hor-
seback riders should be
careful about damaging
crops or riding on the
property of others without
permission. Hoofprints in a
lawn or in a field crop could
be a sore point with the
landowners. In the urban or
the sub-urban areas, riders
should keep their horses
from stepping on lawns or
other well-groomed
property. We have heard of
riders who take the liberty of
riding over parts of a farm
without any permission; this
ic more true during the fall
and winter months than
during the summer;
however, riders are
trespassing unless they
obtain permission. During
snow cover in the winter, we
get complaints about
snowmobiles running over
the countryside without
permission; horseback
riders do not have the right
to ride on the land of others
without permission. When
riding use good common
sense and be courteous to the
rights and property of
others.
IMPORTANT PHONE NUMBER

advance.
