II THE MORNING HERALD, HAGERSTOWN, MD. Twafcy, JwMwr II, Hancock Officials Organize To Fight New Party's Slate By MARTIN COY HANCOCK-- The 'old guard' government retaliated at a meeting here Monday night when they drew up a for the upcoming political battle Jan. 27. About 12 voters organized the ticket as an apparent counterattack to the slate presented last week by the newly formed Citizens Party. Lem Kirk, president of the County Commissioners plays a key role in the 'old guard' organization.

Acting as treasurer of the group, Kirk said it has no label but calls for continuing the efforts of the past administration. At the head of the ticket will be Mayor Daniel Fleming and incumbent Councilman Ches- ter W. Brannon and Alber Creek. Bruce M. Clipp and Maurice Landers will vie for the two other council seats.

An independent, H. L. 'Hap Powers, not affiliated with eith er of the two factional inter ests, also is seeking reelection Kirk said funding for the Hancock Volunteer Fire Dept and the Hancock Rescue Squat is not an. issue. "No problem exists in this area with the existing administration," he noted.

He said the group supports the efforts of the town's Indus trial Development Commission The group also favors non profit housing for low income families, according to Kirk. David K. Cushwa prominent Wiliiamsport businessman and civic loader, died Sunday night of a heart attack while dining at a restaurant. He was 71 years old. Mr.

Cushwa was born in Wil- iiamsport on Aug. 24, 1897, the son of David and Nancy Taylor Cushwa. The Cushwas 'are one of the oldest families of Washington County. His ancestors assisted in the formation of Washington County in 1776, and have the family home at 131 E. OSCAR E.

LOHMAN JR. farming, 20th Century stylt Oscar Lohman Jr. Honored Young Farmer Of Year Is A Cost Cutter This year's outstanding young farmer in the county is Oscar E. Lohman Jr. The 22-year-old livestock breeder and grower was honored by the Hagerstown Jaycees at the annual "Bosses Night" dinner, Monday.

Lohman, who operates two combined farms on Broadfording Rd. just outside of Clear Spring, was selected for: His demonstrated progressiveness in putting new developments to use. The application of modern farming and soil conservation methods. Involvement in community service. After graduating from high school in 1964, Lohman went into parternership with his fath- er and took over the operation and management of the Lohman's 563-acre spread.

Lohman raises his own feed on some 350 acres for Angus beef cattle, hogs and a flock of 175 purebred sheep. He has increased the cattle herd to 120 purebred breeder cows. One of the innovations at the farm is an automatic cattle feeding system. Silage is transported to troughs.through an auger. The system spreads feed for 160 cattle in about ten minutes at the flick of a switch.

It used to be a job that took hours and a lot of back-straining work. Lohman presently has about 275 hogs and plans to build a feeder house capable of fattening up about 400 hogs at a time for market. He is sold on the need for automation to cut costs. For example, he has reduced from five to two the number men required to get hay from the field into the hay mow. This was accomplished with an automatic hay baler and loader, and a elevator.

Sensitive to the price squeeze on farmers, Lohman believes that increased volume is the key to a grower's survival. "The farmer pays more for everything he buys bnt he still gets the same price for what he sells," Lohman said. He had sold some hogs in Greencastle earlier Monday. "I made about $2.50 apiece on them," he'said. "The answer is to raise more fast-growing animals." Why would a young man want to go into farming when costs are forcing so many out? Lohmau said he thought that one can make a go of it if he can keep expanding.

"There are profits to be made," he said. He mentioned one possibility for his farm. "With another silo and feeder system we could raise 400 cattle. From the sound of things, there'll be some more building at the Lohmans' place for a while to come. Lohman will travel to Towson, Feb.

and North Ave. After deliberating 35 minutes, the jury found that the defendant, Kelly G. Reed II, of 653 N. Mulberry was not guilty of negligence in the accident. Mary F.

This has been attacked through the legislature and courts on the claim tha juries, consisting of men means, were prone to find a poor person guilty, Judge Rutledge said. A trend toward finding a cross-section of the public as jurors has been led by York State, the circuit court judge said. He cited a case which he heard in Talbot County last spring, where defendants claimed they were deprived of constitutional rights in jury selection. A judicial conference which Judge Rutledge attended hi Baltimore last week called for no exclusion of a juror because of race, religion, sex, national origin, or economic status. The judge still has discretion in excusing certain persons from jury duty because of hardship or burden, the Optimists learned.
