Mr. Earl Goshorn presiding aBTd a
goodly number ot the members'pee-
sent,. and in the gathering '.was
found the first president of* the
company, Mr. T. P. Gheer. After
the regular routine business, Mr.
Goshorn presented the venerable
gentleman to the assembled firemen as the company's first presiding officer. ' Mr. Gheer responded
by making an address, whieh was
given marked attention. His address was largely historical, fraught
with things of long ago, back to the
time ot the company's inception,
numbering about forty-five years.
Mr. Gheer said in part, "Time
aad tide waits on no man; that the
places now would not always be
ours, and that, his personal pride for
the company was still strong, being
one of the oldest members, feeling
that he desired to always be with
them, although might in other ways
be absent aad to verify this, he presented to the company* aa excellent
likeness of himself."
Mr. Goshorn, for the company,
accepted the gentleman's generous
gift, assuring him that while he may
be physically absent, be would always be present in spirit, and tbat
it'a hanging on the wall would ba a
reminder of the manly precepts laid
down by the gentleman who always
desired to be with them. At the
conclusion of the meeting Mr. Gheer
was personally greeted by those
present, and later oa was, through
tha kindness of Mr. Goshorn, taken
by auto to his home oa Maple aveaue. Thus ended an evening of real
pleasure, but ia tbe offing wsa a

..  FARMERS GET BENEFITS
A total of 564 famers in Blair
county has signed up for this year's
agricultural conservation program,
Preston C. Smith, chairman ef the
county agricultural conservation
committee reports. Up to June 15,
the sign-up for the whole state was
66,852, he added. In 1936 the total
number of Pennsylvania farmers
who took part in the conservation
program Was a little under 41,000.
Mr. Smith says that the Blair
county famers who are in the program this year already have used
many soil-building practices to improve the soil of their farms. They
have established new. seedlings of
alfalfa, clover and timothy; put
lime and fertiliser on pasture and
hayland already established; planted forest trees, and fenced cattle
out of woodland that used to be
pastured. Later in the year, he
says, farmers who have signed up
will apply for payments which wiU
give them back some of the cash
they spent in using practices provided  by the program.
Farmers In the county, also wUl
qualify for payments for many ef
the mid-season practices which they
are using now. Farmers who have
not signed up far the 1987 program .
still have until July 15 to sign, so
that they will be able to apply for
payments for the approved sail-
building practices carried out this
year on their farms.
Mr. Smith says that information
on how to take part ta taa 1987 tare-
gram ia being furnished by taa
county committee, County Agricultural Agent E. G. Hamill, and the
county agricultural conservation office located at Courthouse, H*tn-
daysborg," Pa.
