It conduct many youth programs. National security is a prime goal of the Legion. _______ ___ The Oregonian Building Our Communities In every sector of America, concerned young people are saying, “Let us play an active role in America’s future.” Future Farmers of America (FFA) members will be doing just that in the coming year as they participate in a new community action program recently announced by the National FFA organization headquartered in Washington, D.C. Theme of the FFA program is “Building Our American Communitites”. Announcement of the “Building Our American Communities” effort was made at a recent Capitol Hill breakfast attended by State FFA Presidents and their Congressmen and Senators. In announcing the program, Harry Birdwell, National FFA President said, “the ‘Building Our American Communities’ •program is a challenge to young people to show their concern for America by getting actively involved in their communities.” “As we view America’s future, it becomes more evident that rural America must offer a solution to problems of congested urban centers,” said Birdwell, a native of rural Oklahoma. “The answer,” he continued, “is to make rural and semi-rural areas more attractive places in which to live and work by providing jobs, adequate housmgandgood municipal facilities.” The “Building Our American Communities” program is a joint effort of the FFA, the U.S. Office of Education and the Farmers Home Administration, an agency of the U.S.D.A. The FHA developed and is distributing an instructional booklet titled “Guide to Understanding and Developing Communities.” The guide is for use by high school vocational agriculture teachers as a course outline in community development. Lilly Endowment, Inc., of Indianapolis, Indiana, is sponsoring the “Building Our American Communities” program through the National FFA Foundation, Inc., More than 5000 awards are available to FFA chapters winch use their classroom knowledge in projects to. improve their communities. The FFA is an organization for high school vocational agriculture students who are studying for jobs both on the farm and in agribusiness, Birdwell explained. Because we are engaged in training students for agricultural occupations we feel that every rural community must strive to have more jobs available for young people. In addition, communities must provide a healthy, attractive environment in which to live, he said. FFA members have a stake in the futureof their communities, Birdwell emphasized, pointing out that through their experiences in leadership, citizenship and cooperation, FFA members have the background necessary to take the lead in making their communities better places in which to live and work.

For a while it may be a cliche that “an army travels on its stomach,” a good cook is worth his weight in sirloin steak, medium rare, with a generous covering of mushrooms and sauce. After eight weeks of basic training, mandatory for every soldier, another eight weeks of Advanced Individual Training follows at one of the fol lowing U.S. Army TrainingCen- ters for food handlers: Fort Knox, Ky., Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., Fort Dix, N. J., Fort Ord, Calif., and Fort Polk, La. Designed to instruct the po tential cook in the preparation of small or large quanities of food, courses include the use of stan dard Army recipes and cooking equipment, cooking time and temperatures required for pre paring various foods, means for utilizing leftovers, and sanitary precautions and principles of meat cutting. For further information on this and any other of a number of fields open to young men and women in today’s modern Army, see Sgt. John Matthews at On tario. His hours are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., weekdays, and from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Sa turdays. He’ll be glad to help you.

Taken from a letter aviator Don Davis wrote to his mother while on forest fire patrol: If I live to be one hundred and ten I never expect to see anything more beautiful than 1 saw today. We flew west from Medford over the Rogue River Valley, skirted the edge of the Northern Siskiyous, turned north up the Coast Range. We edged west and at Coos Bay we were right on the coast. The sun was just going down behind a bank of clouds about one hundred miles out on the Pacific, we could see two steamers. Far below us stretching in a long line were white breakers — the panorama of Coos Bay, forest of theCoast Range, the brownish yellow of the valley country and farther east the Cascades. I counted the peaks I could see, they were Mt. Adams, Mt. Hood, Mt. Jefferson, Three Sis ters, Diamond Peak, Crater Lake Peaks, Mt. Pitt and Mt. Shasta. From 12,000 feet the visibility was wonderful. I shall never forget this afternoon. Members of the Nyssa Chris tian Church have set aside the fifth Sunday of the month as “Debt Listing Day”.
