Don Snyder Named Manager
Of Penn State Horticulture Show
Don Snyder, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Warren B. Snyder, Lititz
R3, has been elected General
Manager of the 1968 Penn State
Horticulture Show. A 21 year
old senior majoring in pomol­ogy,
Don is the first Lancaster
Countian ever to be selected to
direct the show.
He graduated in 1965 from
Manheim Township High School.
He was active in the Lancaster
County Red Rose 4-H Baby Beef
and Lamb Club for six years.
After graduation, he hopes to go
into partnership with his father
and brother who operate a fruit
farm just northeast of the Lan­caster
Airport. At Penn State,
Don has participated in many
activities. These include; intra­mural
sports, Ag Student Coun­cil
Representative, Hort Show
Construction Manager, Hort
Club Secretary, chairman of Stu­dent-
Faculty Dinner, chairman
Hort Show Pomology Display,
' A President of the Hort Club.
This year’s 55th annual Penn
State Hort Show will be held in
the University Ice Pavilion. Ad­mission
is free and last year
over 10,000 people attended the
two-day event. It takes one year
oí planning by the horticulture
students and faculty to present
each show. Profits from the
show gained by selling cider,
apples, and plant materials are
used to finance the club’s activi­ties
for the remainder of the
year.
The theme of this year’s show
is “Pennsylvania—A Leader in
Horticulture”. Don said, “We
hope to emphasize that Quí­state
is a leader in horticulture
not because it produces a large
quantity of one crop but rather
because it produces appreciable
quantities of a wide variety of
horticulture crops. Each of the
five main exhibits contains only
important horticulture crops, of
Pa.” Displays by the Pa. Retail
.Florists, Pa. Flower Growers,
' ahd the State Hort Association
will also be included.
This year the show will be
held Homecoming Weekend, No­vember
2 and 3. On Saturday,
the show will be open from 10
a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from
9 a.m. to 4 p.m. All plant ma­terial
used in the show will be
placed on sale to the general
public at the close of the show.
County products used in the
show are as follows:
Chrysanthemums—ouu potted,
Melvin B. Lefever’s greenhous­es,
Ronks Rl, Pa.
Apple butter—D. M. Stauffer’s
Fruit Farm, Lititz R3.

Shelly said six fire companies
will be involved and he and his
wife will operate the electronic
system with 24 hour reliefs pro­vided
by the companies. The
companies are Lititz, Rothsville,
Brunnerville, Brickerville, Pen­ryn
and Manheim.
The system will operate the
sirens of all the companies elec­tronically.
All fire calls will be
received on private lines used
exclusively for such calls. When
a call is received, the company’s
siren will be electronically acti­vated
and the individual fire*
men notified of the location of
the fire by a monitor in their
homes. Consequently, the fire­men
will immediately know, the
location of the fire and go
directly there rather than, re­porting
to the fire house. Shelly
said this will help the firemen
provide quicker service for the
public and less time traveling
for the firemen.
The total cost to each com­pany
will be about $240. to initi­ate
the service. The service will
be similar to that now used-in
the Lancaster City, Quarryville
and Ephrata areas.
