HOLE GUIDE THURSDAY, MAY 7, 1953 150 acre diversified farm near Vinkenbrook, Roosendal, the Netherlands. The Vos farm produces wheat, sugar beets, potatos, and flax, and has 50 head of dairy cattle. Johannes is secretary of the Roman Catholic Young Farmers' Association in his community. Three of Wyoming's four outgoing delegates under the 1953 IFYE program have been selected. They are Bonnie Elaine Ev-erling.

Lingle, who will go to Germany; Donald Legg, Cody, assigned to Israel; and Edward S. Middleswarth, Wheatland, assigned to Brazil. Middleswarth was slated to go to Iraq in February but the program for that country was cancelled. and Pete Hoagland. Judges were Les Anderson and Joe Christman.

Most of the other honors went to the horses. 'Toughy Davis' string, a bald-faced sorrel, a gray two roans, dumped their riders most effectively. So did a black named "Dark So did "Half and the'flashy pinto who is starting his second year as a bucking horse of some fame. "TNT" was having an off day. "NR" who tends to be cranky in the chute, reared up with Jack Lozier just before he was turned out in the saddle bronc section, and banged him against the post.

Jack's ribs seemed to be injured, so Buss Fear took him to Jackson for treatment. tnt'TCH FARM YOUTII DELEGATE HERE i Wyoming's first 1952 farm pvrhanee delegate. Johan- nes Jacobus Vos, 22, of Holland, in Laramie on April 28. 1 Announcement came this week from State 4-Ii UUD jueaaer cur- 4lm Wimmtnrf I Agricultural Extension Service. JThree otner excnans uvm iur-Ljgn lands will arrive later to rrrnd the summer on Wyoming farms and ranches.

I Like most IFYE delegates, Vos ilt wend about 4 months in the jU. dividing his time between I two states. Wyoming is his first ainnment. Late in July, he will iiiovp for New York to live and I tr.rk with rural families in the I Empire State until October 30, h-hen he will return to Holland. A hinh school graduate with 2 years agricultural school, Vos lives with his father and mother and 11 brothers and sisters on a group of bright-eyed Junior G-Men in Pinedale, and with the aid of the FM radio which gives immediate contact all over the state, the capture was effected.

Sheriff Pape said that the boys were no particular trouble during their stay in the Pinedale jail other than being a little bit noisy. They were always hungry, he said, and had not had their hair cut for a long time. One went back to Utah with a new hair-cut, courtesy of the Sublette County Sheriff, but there was not time to attend to the others. STATE FAIR TRACTOR CONTEST ANNOUNCED The three high scorers in a new 4-H tractor contest to be held at the 1953 Wyoming State Fair each will receive a $50 U. S.

Savings Bond and a state fair ribbon. Highest scoring contestant of the three also will be awarded a state fair banner. Announcement of the new contest was made last week by State 4-H Club Leader Burton W. Mar-ston and Robert O. Gilden, agricultural engineer with the Wyoming Agricultural Extension Service.

Gilden is contest superintendent. Each county is allowed one entrant in a tractor operator's contest to be held in the county before the state fair. Contestants must be enrolled in a 4-H tractor project, be between 14 and 20, and will have to come under their county's state fair quota. Juvenile Burglars Returned to Utah Sheriff Paul Pope and Patrolman Morris Horton left with their four young charges on Monday morning for a rendevous in Evan-ston with Utah authorities. Law officers in Utah have a prior claim to the boys, as they stole a car and are escapees from a detention home in that state.

The boys robbed two stores, a filling station and a number of parked automobiles in Pinedale on Sunday evening, April 28th. They were picked up in Riverton the next day, as the number of the stolen car was on file, here as well as in Utah. Horton had taken it down on a tip from a VOTE FOR Id Cheney FOR Tquih Councilman Devoted to the best interests of Jackson Pinedale Woman On Visit to Europe Many of us in Sublette Coun-ty have mothers and fathers who live somewhere else. Many of us go home to see our families from time to time. One of us, Erna Fer-entchak, has perhaps the most remote family of all, and must go the farthest on her journey home.

Erna came from Styria, Austria where she met Frank Ferentchak, who was Occupation Governor of the province during World War II. Frank is an Engineer with the Soil Conservation Service, and his duties led him to Pinedale, which is why Erna is now an ornament of our little cow town, with only a slight accent to tell of her European background. Mrs. Ferentchak has not seen her family for five years. Her parents and grandparents have never seen Eric, the Ferentchak's three-year-old son so there has been some thought for some time that Erna should go home for a visit.

Plans were tentatively under way, and plane reservations applied for but not granted. Then on Friday, the 24th, came word from TWA that there were two reservations available from Denver to New York to Zurich, Switzerland, leaving Denver on May 6th at 2:00 A. M. Erna's pass port application had been sent to Washington for approval and had not come back. So, when the Airlines suggested that the passport should be speeded up, an airmail letter to one of our Senators in Washington brought the passport to the District Court in Kemmerer by telegraph the next morning.

The travelled lady had come to this country on an Austrian passport in the first place, and became a naturalized citizen of the United States in 1949 so she needed a new passport quite bad- ly. Mr. and Mrs. Gross, Erna's parents, live at the edge of Knit-telfield, a town of about 30,000 people. They have a small fruit orchard and a villa with a many-gabled roof.

An uncle in Technical Industrial school in Steyr, Austria, an old iron town, does carved steel for ornaments. There are not many youngsters in the immediate family, and Erna says that no doubt Eric will be completely spoiled at the end of two months stay. The Bruckner Conservatory of Music at Linz is four hours by train from Knitlefeld. Mrs. Ferentchak has an uncle on the faculty of the Conservatory and another uncle who has a music store in Linz.

She plans to spend some time in Linz, studying accordion technique and going swimming in the blue Danube. She is also looking forward to spending a great deal of time at the opera and going to concerts. "It is nothing expensive in Linz," she says, "Is just like Vienna. Everybody goes." Another reunion which should be a joyful one is that of Erna with her younger brother, Franz. Franz was serving with the Austrian Navy in 1942 when his submarine went down in the Black Sea and all on board were reported lost.

Then in 1948 word was received that he was alive, and a prisoner of the Russians, and subsequently he went home to Knittelfeld. (five Help! Help!
