Both Irish and Danish bacon is leaner than American bacon.

Miss Coffey is in this country primarily to study applied farming activities of rural youth and community organizations, especially as related to hill farming, land reclamation, grasslands and farming, the problems of immediate concern to her. A member of the Macra na Feirme, or Young Farmers club, in County Wicklow for the past seven years, she is now vice president of that group. She was brought to this country under the program of the International Farm Youth exchange program sponsored by the National 4-H club foundation of America. World Understanding The project is dedicated to the belief that understanding other people is the foundation of world peace. Through giving farm youth an opportunity to learn another way of life by living it, the project helps rural young people to understand the problems and attitudes of farmers in other parts of the world.

During the past few years Miss Coffey has entertained two American IFYE youths from the A Newville family, Mr. and Mrs. Dallas W. Rife of 40 Parsonage with their four children, are trying an experiment in living this summer. The family has moved from their spacious 12 room home to a 25 foot trailer at Doubling gap, where Mr.

and Mrs. Uife assist with the Kailer VVagnor post concession titand at the picnic area. However, Mrs. Rife says that the comparatively small quarters ars more than compensated for by the vast recreation area which surrounds them. "A back yard isn't big enough for children in the summertime," she observed.

Her four children, George, 12, David, 9, Dallas Jr. 7, and Jane, 5, enjoy a full program of swimming, hiking and fishing. Adjacent to the trailer, which the Rifes purchased last winter when they yere unable to rent a cabin at Doubling gap, is a tent, which the three boys sleep in. In the morning the family usually go on a hike. And from these bii.

Mrs. Rife who was a second priU teacher at Oakville prior to her mairiage, said that she planned to have the family study trees next. Accompanying the family on the bikes is their faithful dog, Humps, who leads the way and keeps a watchful eye for any snakes and other creatures. The children have also picked up quite a few turtles which on their infrequent trips into Newville they give to Rev.

James I.eitch, pastor of the United Presbyteiian church, R. P. Masland, secretary-treasurer of C. H. Masland and Sens, here is pictured above cutting the first anniversary cake at a recent meeting of the northeastern and southeastern divisions of the Masland sales force.

The occasion marked the first anniversary of C. H. Masland and Sons establishing their own sales force. The meeting was held at Kings Gap, Masland's guest house 14 miles southwest cf Carlisle. Gerald C.

hump the Rifes have a television set, but Mrs. Rife said that they didn't particularly miss it. The couple are good readers and also read to their children in the evening although it has to be by gaslight, as there is no electricity in the area. The children nodded in agreement that thty didn't miss the television set Mid West on her farm in Ireland. This summer her chance to visit this country arrived.

On June 13 she arrived in New York City on the Brittanic after a foggy voyage, and left there immediately for Washington, D. C. She celebrated her 24th birthday in that city. After an orientation program at the American capitol, with side visits to Mount Vernon, the Lincoln Memorial and other famous spots in and near Washington, Miss Coffey was thoroughly enthused by the cleanliness and beauty of that city. She especially liked the number of trees flanking the streets, remarking that in Irish cities and villages the homes are built right on the edge of the road.

Last week Miss Coffey arrived in Chambersburg, where she stayed at the-home of Franklin county farm agent Charles P. Fague. Over the weekend she visited Penn State university, and found the drive through the mountains of this state very pleasant. Other Homes She is now staying at the R. C.

McDonald home for two weeks. Then she will spend some time at the Paul Wright farm near Chambersburg, before returning to Shippensburg for a stay at the farm of Edwin Kann on Shippensburg R. R. 3.

Garment Wear Told Inside The "inside" story tells how long a garment will wear. "Check these items on the inside of the next garment you plan to buy," Bernice J. Tharp, extension clothing specialist, The Pennsylvania.

State University, recom mends. The width and stitching of 1 seams, binding around neck and cuffs, shoulder pads foam rubber: and quilted pads are satisfactory I hems deep enough for future lengthenings, seams and button-; holes that will not ravel, and but-1 tons firmly sewed on, tell the tale. (PHI a a Estimate Great Increase In Population by 1975' The population of the United States is growing at such a rapid rate that the estimated increase by 1975 will equal the present total population of the 22 states west of the Mississippi river, Dr. Allen A. Stockdale of the National Association of Manufacturers, told the Pennsylvania State Exchange Clubs at Galen Hall Saturday, June 26.

'He stated "the 22 states have a. population of approximately 52 million and the United States census bureau has estimated that by 1975 this country will have a population of 200 to 220 million which would reoresent a gain of 40 to 60 million in the next 21 years. Dr. Stockdale said that if the 1975 goals are to foe reached, millions of new jobs must be created, billions of dollars of new capital invested, and hundreds of thousands of new stores and business enterprises established. Sell Utility Securities The public utility commission has authorized the Duquesne Light company, Pittsburgh, to sell woith of securities to help finance its 1954 construction program and pay off building loans.

The firm will issue $16,000,000 worth of first mortgage bond3 and $6,000,000 preferred stock. Miss Coffey said. "But tken, all the Americans I have met have been so friendly." Mr. and Mrs. McDonald, and daughter Martha, were quick to echo the same feelings about their Irish visitor, reporting that she seemed like a member of the family already.

"There hasn't been anything unpleasant I have noticed in America," Miss Coffey said with a smile, "except for the fact that you put ice in tea. In Ireland that mistake would never be made, for we are very particular about our tea. "But the truth of the matter is, Ireland is much more like America than it is like most of Europe. I know that people who have seen the German or French farms are surprised to hear that we have a tractor and an electric milker. You see, Ireland is a very up to date country, despite all the stories about quaint old Erin's isle." Model CTD-84 EASY TERMS Here's the refrigerator value in years! 8.4 cu.

The next session of this court in Franklin county is set for August. Proponents of the annexation seek to have the west end of Ship-nensburcr which is now in Frank lin county annexed to Cumberland county so that all of the borough is within one county, mciuaea in the petition is the request that the ground on which lhe high school is being built in Southampton township be annexed to the borough and to Cumberland county.

This is tax free ground because it is dedicated to school purposes. Endorse Petition The annexation was endorsed by a majority 01 tne lanaowners aim voters of the area as well as by the Shippensburg borough council, Shippensburg school board and the Cumberland county commissioners. Upposing the annexation were the Franklin county commissioners, and the 'Southampton township, Franklin school board and supervisors. Other attorneys for the latter group included Edwin special attorney for the commissioners, George Wenger for the Southampton school board and Paul Crider for the township supervisors. Originally Mr.

Mark represented Cumberland county as its solicitor and Mr. Yocum represented the borough council.

Handicapped Children Go To Easter Seal Camp Thirteen physically handicapped children receiving services from the Tri-county Crippled children's association left Wednesday, June 23 for an eight week camping program at the special camps for crippled children.

Twelve of the children have gone to Camp Easter seal located at Laurel Hill state park near Somerset while the other will attend the sessions at Camp Harmony Hall located near Highspire.

except for an occasional program. One of the advantages of living the park area, it was brought out, is that the state department of forests and waters, who operate the area, has a regular garbage collection service at no charge. While this is hardly anything revolutionary, no such service is available in the borough of Newville at the present time. The family arrived at the area on June 5, two days after schoel dismissed. Mr.

Rife is employed at the Newville post office while the concession stand doesn't open until the afternoon giving the family the morning as the best opportunity of following their recreational program. Mrs. Rife said that it was too early to tell whether the outdoor living experiment would prove of lasting benefit to the children but she was quite confident that it would. She pointed out that living in that manner gave the family more of an opportunity to get together than is ordinarily the case. She said that the boys had brought their baseball gloves with them but hadn't uspd them vet In a family npted for its interest in oasenau, she thought that was a pretty good indication that the boys were not having any trouble passing the time.

CRISWELL To Observer in By J. BRUCE KAUFMAN There are many facts revealed to one as he observes the stones in the Pleasant Hall cemetery. These are closely connected' with the history of the Salem Lutheran church that will be rededicated this Sunday, July 4. The words and dates engraved upon the etones verify what has been written about the church. Written upon these stones are the names of many that were I wag erected jn lg52 fieside ng was erected in 1852.

Besides the names and dates of those who were once members of this church, there are many epitaphs that ex press laith in God and immortality. Many verses of scripture are found upon these stones. A few of the old stones are engraved in German. Here we find revealed not only the history of the Salem Lutheran church and the hope of many Christians, but also the history of the nation. According to the graph of the cemetery there are Indians (buried along the wall in front of the church.

Back of this are the graves of many Revolutionary War soldiers. In lliil, there was erected a beautiful monument in honor of John Krenier, who came to the Pleasant Hall community from Berks county soon after the war for independence. In this war he was a noted soldier. South of the church is a section in which few of the graves have 'been identified. Here is a large stone upon which is engraved TO THE UNKNOWN There are many veterans of the Civil War among the host of individuals that have been here.

This sacred spot holds in its bosom men of other wars, including the second Wrorld War. This is one of the oldest cemeteries in Franklin county; its deed was passed in 1789, three years after the founding of the church. In 1910, the Pleasant Hall Cemetery association was formed. Its first president, T. Z.

Minehart, served 44 years. John B. Minehart is now president and J. Bruce Kaufman secretary and superintendent. The association will have a homecoming and memorial service Saturday, July 3, at p.m.

The speaker is Wilbur Warner, Leigh-ton. There will be special music. Strike Slows (Continued from One) Mr. Lautsbaugh said he had heard reports that the pay was $2.50 an hour at the high school. He said the usual pay scale for masons is $3 an hour, which would account for the difficulty Mr.

Oyer has in securing masons. Mr. Kurtz declared that if 20 or 22 masons had been on the high school job regularly, the work on section would be far enough alonsr at this time to allow the start of roofing on section C. Instead it will be some time before the roofing of section actually starts, he declared. Mr.

Kurtz, after saying that another job conference this week would furnish more definite reports on building progress, stated that the roof was almost finished on A and sections, and all masonry work on the same two sections should be finished, within 10 days. He added that the block and tile work was finished in section A and about 80 per cent finished in section Ship Furniture Mr. Reddig said that the delay in finishing the Leesburg school was unfortunate because the furniture for all three schools was due to be shipped this week. He had expected to store this furniture in the Leesburg building, but will now have to find other storage room. He said that he had been assured by Edmund G.

Good general contractor for the three elementary schools, that the Orrstown school will be done by Julv 22, since it is unaffected by the carpenters' strike, as it is located in Franklin county. Only the floors still remain to be finished in the Orrstown school. Mr. Good does not believe the carpenters' strike will last very long. He told Mr.

Reddig that all three schools should be complete by Aug. 1, with the Newburg school the last to be finished.
