newly elected president of
the Grassland FFA.
The youth is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Chester M.
Weaver, Jr. East Earl R 2,
and will begin his role as
leader of the chapter
beginning this summer.
As a member of the
Grassland Chapter, Linford
has been active in numerous
projects and committee
work and served the
organization as vice
president during this year’s
school season. One project
which has taken up much of
Linford’s free time has been
public speaking and the
youth worked many hours
in “polishing-up” his topic
entitled “The Silent Killer.”
At the county public
speaking contest, Linford
won first place in the senior
division with his talk and
grabbed a berth in the area
contest. In competition with
Round-the-clock
guardian of
stored milk
temperature
If you depend upon your milk check for a living,
protect that income by insuring milk quality.
The least expensive, single-payment insurance
obtainable is the Sentinel the heavy-duty,
10-inch recorder which charts round-the-clock
temperature of your milk-cooling or holding tank.
Assure yourself and your processor that
proper milk temperature is always maintained.
Keep a permanent log of compressor operation
and tank cooling or pre-cooling efficiency, from
first filling to pickup.
Cleaning temperatures increasingly ques
tioned by sanitarians—are recorded on the same
chart
At little added cost, the Sentinel is available with
provision for actuating an alarm or warning light if
milk holding temperature rises above pre-set level.
Remember—if it prevents the loss of only one
tank of milk, the Sentinel has paid its own way.

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 1.1976
students from Chester and
Delaware Counties, last
week, Linford placed third.
Describing his peers as
“tough contestants.”
Linford chose his public
speaking topic on world
hunger explaining that the
subject is timely and of
extreme importance.
“Hunger is all around us and
we must be willing to deal
with it and soon,” he noted.
“It is not enough to give
people food we must teach
them good production
methods and encourage their
own interests in having
supplies available.”
The student’s knowledge of
farming methods and
production comes first hand
as his FFA projects and or
the farm training has given
him a working relationship
with agriculture.
Linford’s position of vice
president of the Grassland
FFA has helped the youth
gain the responsibility he
will need for directing the
chapter next year.
“FFA has given me a good
sense of leadership and I
hope to pass that quality on
to the younger members,”
he stated.
“I’m hoping to work
toward a more active group
especially with the
Greenhands and for more
total involvement.*’
One area in which Linford
hopes to do more work is
with the environmental FFA
at Garden Spot. In its second
year, the counterpart to
production agriculture -
environmental FFA has
steadily progressed and
Linford would like to get
more members interested in
the chapter which deals with
wildlife protection, con
servation and ecology.
Although his senior year
will be busy with FFA ac
tivities, Linford is also an
ticipating many projects
with the youth group at the
Weaverland Mennonite
Church. And keeping in
tough with the family farm
will add more responsibility
to the youth’s work load, but
the Grassland FFA’er isn’t
worried yet - “It will be
interesting and I plan to do
the best I can,’’ he concluded
smiling.
As president of the
chapter, Linford will be
joining a long line of
prominent FFA members all
of whom took on an extra
responsibility to help other
members.
