FFA officers hold
procedures drill
FREDERICKSBURG -
Chapter FFA officers from
Lebanon County schools
drilled through
parliamentary procedures
Thursday afternoon, with
each team striving to
come out best in the judges’
opinion. When all the
motions were made and the
seconded and the mock
meetings adjourned, it was
die team from Annville-
Cleona High School that
received the highest nod of
approval.
Coached by Lowell
Morton, the Annville-Cleona
team of officers provided the
judges with the smoothest
proceedings. Team mem
bers are Reid Hoover,
president; Ellis Meyer, vice
president; Joe Harvatine,
treasurer; Jeff Landis,
secretary; Alan Graves,
reporter; Alan Hostetler,
sentinel; Darryl Landis,
chaplain; and Bryan
Burkholder, student advisor.
Second best, according to
the judges was a team of
officers from Northern
Lebanon High School, with
president Cory Bender in
charge. Completing the slate
Congressional
spending scorned
Norman Aamodt
COATESVILLE - At a
regional Pennsylvania
Farmers’ Association policy
meeting in Chester County,
Norman Aamodt charged
“Robert Walker’s an
nouncement that he returned
$55,000 of his budget to the
federal government was a
blatant political deceit”
He charged that “Walker
did not return $55,000; he
simply did not use it. The
$253,400 he did spend
resulted in no legislation
which would improve
agriculture, improve the
economy or effectively
address inflation or the
energy shortage. Rather, an
additional $250,000 of tax
papers money was spent on
public relations, mailings,
etc., which provided no
significant responses to
constituents problems; it
was used for publicity to aid
him in his re-election ef
fort.”
are Mike Brajkovich, vice
president; Tom Oonmoyer,
treasurer; Randy Behney,
sentinel; Earnie Meily,
chaplain; Tom Seaman,
reporter; Greg Dunbar,
secretary; and Paul Gibble,
student advisor. Their coach
is Raymond Bickel.
A team from Eastern
Lebanon County High School
placed third. Coached by
Gerald Strickler, the slate of
officers consisted of Vince
Arnold, president; Bill
Hoffman, vice president;
Sue Ritchie, treasurer; Sue
Heilinger, secretary; Ken
Arnold, reporter; John
Kline, student advisor;
Glenn Wenger, chaplain;
and Brett Eberly, sentinel.
Placing fourth was Cedar
Crest’s parliamentary
procedures team, coached
by Jay Lentz. The officers
are: Dean Moyer, president;
Ronald Brubaker, vice
president; Mike Balsbaugh,
chaplain; Gary Mase,
sentinel; Roy Shirk,
treasurer; Dawn Shirk,
secretary; Jed Hoffer,
student advisor; and Paul
Miller, reporter.
Aamodt went on to state
that the family farm can be
saved “by doing two things -
by increasing the
inheritance tax deduction
level to an amount where,
when the parents die, the
surviving family can take
the farm over without
excessive debt burden; and
by improving the existing
markets for farm products
and developing new ones.
“The inheritance tax
revision would have wide
support in the Congress
because it would apply to
family businesses and
homes across the nation.
Markets for farm products
can be improved by first
attacking the false notion
regarding the adverse ef
fects of eggs and dairy
products on health and by
developing an entirely new
market for grains as fuel
made from grain derived
alcohol, as was demon
strated successfully in
Nebraska last year.”
‘let us never
forget
that the
cultivation
of the earth
is the most
important
labor*of
man.
