COCALICi LIC A, director of the National Chorus since 1967. Myers says the most important quality he looks for, besides quality of voice, is the “ability to cooperate and be a contributing member of the Chorus.” This is especially im portant, since the Chorus has only two days of practice before its first performance at the Vespers service which marks the opeiung of the National Convention. From then on, the Chorus performs at each of the eight sessions of the Convention, and also at various occasions around Kansas City, including the American Royal Livestock Show. The Chorus makes a record every year which is available to each Chorus member and the public. Hallmark has supported the FFA sined 1968 and has hosted a dinner for the Chorus and Band for four years. This is Hallmark’s first year to co-sponsor the grassy weeds in broadleaf plants such as cotton and soybeans. It may be used in post-emergence (“over-the top”) applications. According to David B.

But we are concerned about kites flown near our lines —kites and electric lines don’t mix too well! To make kite flying safe, read these rules before you test your skills Select the right materials —nylon and cotton kite cord, wood and paper frames. Metal frames, tinsel string and wire are dangerous because they conduct electricity. Pick a safe flying location in open fields away from overhead electric wires, antennas and auto traffic. Fly kites on dry days and always use dry string Call PP&L if your kite gets caught in a power line. Don’t try to pull it down or touch any dangling strings or wires...it’s better to lose a toy than a life. />* V *D # %# *‘* •*/ < A-» *1 § Vi-, - '- '< PP&L
