owner of Hoss’s Steak and Sea
food House.
After golfing, the auction
raised $10,600 for the state FFA
program over two courses, Fox
chase in Stevens and Hawk Val
ley nearby. Part % of the fund
raising golf tournament,
sponsored by Hoss’s, is set Mon
day, Aug. 4 at the Scotch Valley
Country Club in Duncansviile.
On Monday, the Hatfield
sponsored event attracted 239
golfers from agencies and agri-in
dustry and about 250 to the ban
quet.
As for the hog that didn’t get
away: About four years ago, the
Penns Manor High School FFA
program, Clymer, was in danger
of closing up, simply out of a lack
of participation. But a new advis
er and the chance to build a
livestock bam for FFA members
brought with it a new attitude
and a brand-new FFA.
According to Gerald Hughes,
chapter adviser, financial support
from businesses, student fund
raisers, and families helped start
Introducing nlw GLEANER R Series Combines with the new COMf-ORTfcICH II cab
Introducing the 2003 R 65 and R 75 GLEANER models —continuing the tradition of GLEANER
innovation with many new features including an all new cab.
For decades, farmers have counted on GLEANER for clean harvesting, innovative designs and
efficient operation. The 2003 GLEANERs continue the tradition with the state-of-the-art
COMFORTECH* II cab designed for comfort, efficiency and productivity:
• A larger, curved windshield made from a single section of glass, provides great visibility
• An enlarged frame opens up the cab for more comfort and easier access to controls
• New electronic displays and controls provide unprecedented access to important data
Efficiency. Quality. Reliability. Performance. To find out why thousands of farmers remain

the process to build a 20-foot by
50-foot long barn behind the
school. The barn will house lambs
and hogs and eventually cattle,
Hughes noted.
Local companies are donating
supplies. The cost is about $4,000
to finish, Hughes said. Eventual
ly, the barn could be named the
“Comet” barn, after the school
mascot.
Already the school is installing
a second greenhouse and the
chapter will house chickens
raised for a barbecue.
The program restarted with 30
students four years ago. Since
then, the program has rapidly ex
panded. About 150 FFA mem
bers were signed up in the pro
gram the past school year and
more than that are scheduled in
the upcoming year.
The building, Hughes noted,
will house FFA project animals.
Those animals can be shown at
the various regional fairs, includ
ing Indiana County Fair, Cook
Port Fair, and state Farm Show.
