County FFA
Installs
County Future Farmers' this
week installed a of officers
at a meeting m Lampeter-,
Strasburg High School.
The officers were elected m
a November 26 meeting, but
installation was held up for 2
months when a controversy a
rose over the eligibility of one
of the elected officers.
Donald Kraybill, Blverson
82, was named president, but
after the election, fit was learn
ed that Kraybill had left Lam
peter-Straeburg High School at
the end of the 1961-62 term
and enrolled at Lancaster Men
nonite School last fall.
The National Future Farm
ers of America office m Wash
ington D C. ruled Kraybill in
eligible to hold office Garden
Spot Chapter advisor, George
Myers had contended that
Kraybill had quit school and
was therefore eligible under
the national constitution
A second point of difference
arose over the proper method
of replacing Kraybill. Myers
contended that another election
should be held in order that
each chapter in the county have
an officer in the ruling body.
This week, the county asso
ciation unanimously voted to
invoke the presidential ascend
ary rule and move the first vied
president up ito the top post,
the second vice president up to
vice president, and leave the
second vice president spot op-
