Box 404-T, Northridge, Calif. - City FFA Member Studies Vo-Ag How many people would be so eager to study agricul ture that they would be will ing to take two buses to get to school and back home ev ery day? Not many. Yet Gilbert Har rison, a freshman in. voca tional agriculture at Crater high school does it every day. He lives in Lone Pine non high school district, adjacent to Medford and is allowed to choose between going to Cra ter high in Central Point to study vo-ag or to Medford high school. He lives on a small dairy farm and is inter ested in farming so he chose to attend Crater even though it meant a long bus ride every day. Although he is only a fresh man among 90 other fresh men in -his class, his instruc tor, Ed Griggs has noticed his intense interest in everything pertaining to agriculture. Gil's father has nine acres to support a small dairy herd. The Harrisons sell enough milk to more than pay for keeping the cows, young Har rison said. The family raises its own vegetables and Gil's younger brother, who is about his age, raises chickens. The farm is actually more of a subsistence type of farm. The father works for Medford Meat company as his full-time job. Plan Larger Farm Small though the farm may be the Harrisons have what almost amounts to a Grade A dairy. They also have big plans for a much larger dairy farm with 20 head of Guern seys or Holsteins on 40 acres. Gil's older brother and father are already in partnership on their present dairy farm, - The future farmer hopes to join that partnership when the family expands its operations in the future. To that end he is studying vo-ag and working on his' su pervised farming project of a Guernsey cow and one beef animal.- The steer he bought at a local feeder sale. His am- bition is to have at least five registered Guernseys by the time he is a high school sen ior. He borrowed the money from the bank to get the steer. Money for his steer and the future dairy herd is being earned through hauling hay for a neighbor. Employment in this job isn't regular so ev ery dollar earned is carefully hoarded.- Young Harrison this early doesn't know yet what he will study or if he will go to col lege after high school. He does say he has learned quite a bit - such as how to feed steers and cows, how to find the right portions of feed and get the most gain for what is fed. In Future Farmers of Amer ica chapter at Crater high Gil is active in parliamentary work. He is also turning out for sports such " as football and wrestling. Gil rightfully feels that the new trend is for the small farmer to get bigger in order to survive. His interest and vo-ag training may help. There are about 6,000 active camera clubs within the Unit ed States. Central Polnf Youth Named to Honor Group Corvalli s Donh Royal Johnson of Central Point has been initiated into Scabbard and Blade, national military ROTC honor society at Ore gon State college.

Benson had a special reason today to be thankful he was spending Christmas Day with his fam ily. For a while it appeared the 59 - year - old secretary might celebrate the Yule from a hospital bed. Benson fell and dislocated his left shoul der while ice skating Wed nesday with members of his family. He was taken to Walter Reed Army hospital for treatment and released just in time to make it home for Christmas Eve.
