A Better Rural America

ONE Of the most effective instruments for
creating a more efficient. self-reliant
and useful citizenship in rural America
that we know of is the organization Of Fu-
ture Farmers Of America.
to rise in the ranks of this organization
of vocational agriculture students in our
high schools, a youth must demonstrate
ability to translate his class room work in
TO actual accomplishment in better farm
ing. At once this knits closely the theory and
tcchnques Of books and schooling with the
actual practice Of farm operation.
The adult FLA sponsor usually the in
structor Of vocational agriculture, makes
periodic visits to students homes and
farms, thus providing help, encouragement
and direction. This knitting Of practice and
theory, on the most up-to-date levels. has
equipped many boys for complete farm
operation following their high school cdu-
cation.
Throughout his high school days and
even into college, should he choose this the
FLA youth is confronted with opportunities
challenging his best efforts. There are Of
fees in bis own chapter to be won; there
are state and national offices. The chapter.
state and national program Of awards for
outstanding forestry, crop, conservation or
livestock achievements confront each youth
as greater and greater challenges as he pro-
crosses through student years.
But efficient farm operation is only part
Of the FLA ideal. On an equal plane with
efficiency are the ideals of useful citizen

Education Is Costly

T'IiE New York Times recently made its
annual survey on the public school situa-
ton in the United States After much re-
search, interviews, and other investigations
the newspaper found that the schools arc
suffering from intense growing pains, UNI
cNpectedly large enrolment increases and
a shortage of qualified teachcrs-in addi-
ton to other things.
1t discovered that. in September, a mil
lion more school children enrolled than in
the preceding September. Moreover, this
rate of increase is expected tor another ten
years. The survey found that schools arc
not being built fast enough. are not being
expanded adequately and, in some cases, not
being maintained properly.
An insufficient amount Of funds. partly
caused by the inflationary spiral Of recent
years. has brought acute financial prob
lens TO many school districts. The rearma-
mcnt boom has taken many teachers from
the schools and initiation, caused by the re-
armament program, has reduced the buying
power Of school teachers salaries.
Citizens in this community, area and
State must keep in mind that education
costs big money and that the number of
children enrolling each September is grow
ing annually. Huge OUTLAWS will have to be
made if the educational standards are to

Advice to Fathers

Take time from work to love your own
And show to them they re not alone;
Put part Of your close family group,
Like members of circus troupe;
All actors IN play whose theme
Is the fulfilment of LIES dream
With them Oft share a summer day
TO 20 with them on plcnlcS gay;
Your work and worry leave behind,
And clean out tension from your mind;
Let sweet fresh air, meath skies of blue
Rest and refresh the heart in you.
Seek out a spring where water flows
Near where some lovely maple throws
Its shadows on your picnic ground,
While birds are singing all around.
List to the songs your bird friends sing,
And all your worries will take wing.
Talk to your own and let them know
Each day your love for them does grow
Strong to withstand the stress Of life
Enclose your children and your wife
Within your heart with loving care,
Erect a haven for them there
Spend time with them and try to make
Your life more rich for their dear sake
Spare time with them to often show
That as thru life with them YOU go,
They make your heaven here below,
And you are glad that this is 50.
Fathcrly yours
