September 29, 2017 T he C olumbia P ress VFW sponsors two writing contests The VFW is sponsoring a Voice of Democracy patriot- ic student essay contest with entries due Oct. 31. This year’s theme is “Amer- ican History: Our Hope for the Future.” Voice of Democracy has been the Veterans of Foreign Wars’ primary scholarship program since 1947. Each year, nearly 40,000 high school students compete for more than $2 million in scholarships and incentives by writing and recording an audio essay. More than $154,000 will be awarded nationally, with the top scholarship being $30,000. A second contest, the Pa- triot’s Pen, is for students to write 300- to 400-word es- says on the theme “America’s Gift to My Generation.” All essays should be typed and students will be judged on theme development, knowl- edge and clarity of ideas. Both contests are open to students in grades 9 through 12 enrolled in public, private or parochial high schools or home study programs. For more information, con- tact the local VFW Post 10580 at 503-739-1071. 4-H is more than just cows and cooking, leaders say.
