guided by voluntary leaders, the
Future Farmers of America is
a well-defined agricultural voca-
ton program tied solidly to
school curriculums.
And yet, both organizations
are rooted in the soil. They
take slightly different APP
proaches to a common goal: a
better farming community.
The FLA looks at tomorrow's
farming with plain objectivity.
Their slogan: Learning to do;
doing to learn; learning to live;
and living to serve"
Equally aware of their role in
the community, the All Club
members have this slogan: II
pledge my head to clear think
ing, my heart to greater loyalty,
my hands to larger service, and
my health to better living >"
The most significant differ
ence in the clubs is that mem
bers of FLA are avowed stu
dents of farming and intend to
go into the business. All Club
members, on the other hand, as
often as not pursue their prof.
ectS as hobbies.

from down-county, simply drive
out Rockville Pike from Bethes-
da or Veirs Mill I'd. from Geor-
gia ave. (from Silver SPRING.

Then take old U. S. 240, now
marked Rt. 355, to Gaithersburg
and its main street, Frederick
ave. Turn left from Frederick
ave. onto Chestnut st. and

to the Gaithersburg cutoff, but.
they will have to turn right and
backtrack south on Frederick
