—Lancaster mrmini 46 Clad in overalls which got splattered by water, dust, and mud, Cloister FFA Chapter’s newest members are all smiles after having survived their ordeal. Freshman FFA members initiated at Ephrata EPHRATA Thirty-five freshmen at Ephrata Area High School were initiated into the Future Farmers of America organizatin on Monday evening. As with most initiations, the newcomers had to go through a variety of rituals which caused laughter and fun for upperclassmen and parents. The ceremonies took place on stage at the high school. While the initiation was a major portion of the program, time was also allowed for factual information about vocational agriculture and FFA programs at the Cloister Chapter. The Cloister FFA Chapter rates as one of the best and most accomplished in Pennsylvania. Various national awards and contests have also been won by the Chapter. Lew Ayres, head of the vocational agriculture depart ment at Ephrata, narrated a slide program in which WHAT’S MEW GRAIN BIN ASSEMBLY A new method of manufacturing gram bins could revolutionize the in dustry according to officials at Lipp System USA in Schiller Park, Illinois. Bins are being built in record numbers this year for on farm and other storage. Developed in West Ger many in 1969, the Lipp concept was brought to the United States m 1974 through DeMuth Steel Products Company as a licensee for agricultural applications. The concept itself is unique, since the gram bin is custom built quickly at the site. Coils of Armco aluminized steel are placed on the pay-out reel and fed into the machine as a continuous strip. The Lapp machine forms the edge bonds, curves the panels to the diameter of the bin, and joins adjacent panels with a patented double lock seam. The seam represents a strong external stiffening nb for maximum rigidity so Saturday, October 21,1978 that gauge for gauge, Lipp storage structures are able to withstand horizontal loads greater than that of con ventional bolted bins. Fabricated m metal thicknesses from 7 to 18 gauge, these structures are smooth-walled, no-bolt aluminized steel con struction. The aluminized steel is used because of its proven record of at mospheric corrosion resistance. Its coating outlasts that of unpainted galvanized steel more than fiv° to one. DeMuth executives say they have had inquiries to use the Lipp bin for everything from storing apple juice to contained salmon breeding tanks as well as the more common storage requirements like gram, liquid manure and high moisture grain.
