ACTIVITIES OF CHESTERHILL
CHAPTER F.. F. OF A.

The Chesterhill chapter of Future
Farmers of America had busy clos
ing of last years program and the
opening of the new years program.
We feel that we have accomplished
much and plan for better things in
the future. The following is brief
report of the activities since the
first Of August, 1887:
500 mile educational tour: Early
in August, 10 boys, along with
Blaine Hart and Mr.. Dunbar, our
instructor, took six day trip
through northeastern Ohio. Blaine
drove his grandfather's Hiram
Harts car Mr. Hart furnished his
car without charge for this trip;
Points visited Sunday evening and
Monday, were Mohawk conservation

ter farmer, Ray Richardson, at
Sugar Creek, Schoenbrunn state
park at New Philadelphia, Zoar,. the
old Shaker settlement. McKinley's s
tomb at Canton, the Hartville veg
etable swamps, and master farmer,
Jake Graber. We camped over at
Hartville with Gus Philips, a friend
of Mr.. Dunbar's. On Tuesday, we
visited the Goodrich Tire and Rub
Der company at Akron, and went on
to Cleveland in the afternoon. We

New Lexington Humbled
M. & MS dynamic Big Reds
emerged victorious from major
event last Friday evening, by de-
feating a fast New Lexington quin-
tet, 2219. This victory, advancing
M. & M. still another decisive step
in her march to league supremacy
by adding fourth triumph to her
already impressive and unblemished
record of three Big Six successes out
Of as many starts, seems all the
more remarkable when we compare
McConnelsville's holiday inactivity
with New Lexington's vacation
games and extensive drill. Both
teams went into the game undefeat-
ed, and undoubtedly the seasons
largest gathering of spectators was
drawn by the promising prospects Of
the game, in which they were not
disappointed. Although our Grim
son clad cagers maintained slight
margin of safety during the first
three periods of the event, the
black and orange quintet were al
ways within dangerous striking dis
tance, and in the fourth quarter,
even the determination of our stall
wart five could not suppress the ris-
ing tide of the New Lexington score.
With the score tied 1913 III the last
four minutes of play, all the skill
and stamina of the champions of
the red and white was required, as
time after time the scoring attempts
of the black and orange were chal
lenged and overthrown. However,
the Big Reds soon took the lead
once more and retained it until the
end of the game.
We have all probably heard the
maxim that the team that connot be
beaten by at least ten points away
from home cannot be beaten on it's
home floor, but nevertheless we're
betting on M. e. M. when she in
yades New Lexington February IL.

Beginning Life of Service, Mark
1:14-28, for Sunday, Jan. 16:
How may one best spend the Sab
bath day?
How may we keep the Sabbath
holy?
What are some of the likely tests
which Jesus used in selecting his
helpers?
In what ways does Jesus call men
to follow him today
Why could not these disciples
whom Jesus called continue being
fishermen and still do the work Je-
sus planned for them?
Clericus says: "A ship was wreck.
ed on strange island and there
was great fear that they had land
ed with savages. One of them
climbed on bluff and saw a church
building. He assured his compan-
ions that all was well for he saw a
church." Why did they all feel
safe when making this discovery?
Lesson prayer" Give us a greater
regard for the Sabbath day; not
going with the crowd away from
the church, but making it prac-
tice of our lives to worship in the
sanctuary with Gods people,
