I received the Holstein from my local FFA chapter, from one of our dairy chains.

Increases The Herd "As my sophomore year began, I made plans to increase my small herd and to add additional projects to my program. It was then that tragedy struck. In March, my uncle passed away very unexpectedly and his farm was now for sale. "It was then that I really began thinking of making the dairy farm my life's occupation.

I plan to rent an additional farm of 100 acres which will be available in the near future. I will use this farm to raise more corn and alfalfa hay for my dairy herd. Look For Bright Future "I think that the dairy industry has a real bright future and I truly know now that I am glad my parents and Vo- Ag instructor helped convince me that this is what I really want to do for the rest of my life.

"I am a member of the Eastern Lebanon County FFA chapter. I am presently serving my chapter as president and have been a very active member since my freshman year.

The evening's programs evolved around slides narrated by Dr. Samuel Lape, and a talk by "Coach" Carmine Pepe of Pine Grove.

Both are club members. Dr. Lape's presentation focused upon the vast regions of Quebec where heavyweight trout are common amd easily caught. His talk included experiences with elk and wolves, and a boding look into a territory that Is alarmingly polluted despite its inaccessibility. Pepe talked about his favorite subject, trout flics, their, origin and use.
