All farmers interested in a co operative plan for repair ot farm machinery are invited to attend a meeting to be held at the Central Point High School on Tuesday even Ing, January 27th at 7:30. This is a part of the Food-for-Vlctory program and if the project is carried out the farmers in the community will be assisted in the repair of their farm equipment and in learning to main tain their machinery more efficiently. About one hundred classes are now in operation in the state and are being enthusiastically supported by the farmers wherever held. In general the plan is for the farmers to bring their farm machinery and equipment which may need repair to a central location. Here they will find the necessary tools for repair and an ex- perienced mechanic to direct them. They work to some extend co-opera tively on the repairs and in so doing may learn about repair of other ma chinery than just that which they bring in. There is no expense to the farmer except for partB which he may have to have.
