Very truly yours, H. G.

Townships Qualify For Tests The third township in York county within a week to qualify for a tuberculin test of dairy cattle on the area plan was Washington township. The committee to make the survey of the farmers reported that 90 per cent of the herd owners were in favor of such a plan. County Agent George G.

Weber filed the results of the survey with the bureau of animal industry at Harrisburg and requested that the test be made at the earliest possible date. Two years ago the township signed for an area test, but a counter petition, containing- names of those who had signed for the test, cancelled it at that time. Since then a number of herds have been tested on the individual plan, and the area plan being better understood, most of the opposition has disappeared. The committee of Paradise township dairymen selected recently to make a survey of herd owners to determine whether or not the necessary 90 per cent of signatures could be obtained for testing on the area plan, met Tuesday evening to summarize the results of their efforts. The summary shows a total of 137 herd owners in Paradise township with 986 cattle.

Of this number, 126 owners either signed on the area plan or had previously signed and in many cases tested on the individual accredited herd plan. The therefore gives a total of 92 per cent, which is more than the number necessary to qualify for tests on the area plan. Only 11 herd owners are unsigned to date and these own a total of only 14 cattle. J. J.

Hamme, chairman of the survey committee in Paradise township, reported the results to County Agent George G. Weber, after which the information was forwarded immediately to the bureau 5T animal industry, asking tnat the township be tested at the earliest possible date.

Miss Smith was not injured. Last week this column published the names of York Springs eligible to join a club of which the members had attained 75 or more years of asc. The names of three men, W. Griest. William Jacobs and Henry Hoopert, were unintentionally omitted All had lived fairly lues until a few years ago.

Mr. Griest a former postmaster of this place and later for many year--, was emploved in the York brink before his retirement two years aro. Jncob worked from the Uine he was a more youth at various odd jobs in this community and for mnrc than a quarter of a ccnturv was employed as a teamster at a Franklin count- sawmill. His modest savings enable him to new live comfortable, "bachelor style," in his old home town. Mr.

Hoopert. worked for many years for Latimore township farmers and is yet pretty active notwithstanding hi.s aae. Some crowd more activities and real life into a few years now than they would eperience during three score and ten in days of yore. An example was the late Dr. Elmer Krall.

who recently passed away in Hanover. Dr. Kell, a Perry county farm boy. secured a medical education and practiced for years in the cast. In 191.9 he locpted in Rawlins, Wyoming, where his interest in his profession and civic life soon made him the town's leading citizen.

He launched a movement for a hospital and upon its completion was chosen chief surgeon. He was elected burgess for several terms. Upon his return east three years ago Dr. Kell told me of some of his western experiences that illustrate what a busy life means. It's no wonder that he died of heart trouble.

During the winter months temperatures of twenty to thirty degrees below zero are frequently recorded in Wyoming and driving a car, especially at night, is a hazardous occupation. Blizzards sweep over the plains machines under snowdrifts even'on the main highways. Dr. Kell said that physicians would not venture out in their machines without being well equipped. The wisest plan was to carry along a couple of blankets, a thermos bottle and some food, for cars sometimes get stalled and have to remain for a couple of days until snow plows or a force of men come along and dig them out.

Dr. Kell related one experience when he was called to attend a sick rancher who lived 200 miles distant from Rawlins. It was during- the winter and he drove his machine part of the way, sleighed behind a pair of pood horses some more of the distance, was compelled to abandon the sleigh, rode quite a distance on horseback and finally arrived at his destination walking on snowshocs which his guide had wisely carried along. Here he was storm-stayed two weeks and acted as both physician and nurse for the rancher ill with pneumonia. After his recovery the stockman sent Dr.

Kell a check for S500. Such experiences make practicing medicine in Adams county look like pleasure trips iin comparison. York Springs Church Notices York Springs Lutheran Charge Chestnut Grove: Sunday school at 9:30 a. preaching service at 10:30 a. m.
