Hallmark Cards, Inc., of
Kansas City, will co-sponsor
the Chorus this year at the
annual National FFA
Convention, November 7-9,
in Kansas City, Mo., FFA
officials announced recently.
It is the first time the Chorus
will have an industry
sponsor.
The National Chorus is
made up of FFA members

United States -110-115 male
and female voices chosen

applications - brought

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.
Barlow, Vice-President and
General Manager ORTHO
Agricultural Chemicals, the
new product is expected to
be brought to market in
Central America by 1982 and
in the United 'States the
following year.

Spring is a great time for flying kites. 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.
