As most people are aware, fishing from cr through the ice is prohibited on Deer Creek Reservoir.

The boys will undertake a campaign to inform the general public about the importance of the agricultural industry to America, the growing need for farming, and of the numerous and wide variety of opportunities that exist in the broad field of agriculture for young men who have a background of farm experience and training. We have had such an abundance of food in America that people are taking agriculture for granted, said Ben Leatham, vocational agricultural teacher and FFA advisor. Actually, farming is now and always has been our largest and most vital industry, and it is becoming increasingly important with our expanding population. In our area, particulary, most of the businesses, and most of the jobs, are basically dependent upon surrounding farms for their existence. Take away the farms, and for all practical purposes you would destroy the entire community. Membership in the FFA is made up of students of vocational agriculture in high school. The organizations activities are designed to help develop rural leadership and good citizenship, and to stimulate the students to better achievement in their study and work toward successful establishment in farming or other agricultural occupations. The Payson FFA chapter has 7 5 members. Officers are: Pres., Rex Young; Vice-pre- s. Paul Rindlesbacher; Sec. Demoin Gold; Reporter Robert Coware; Treas. Merrill Oraw; Sentinel Zebbie Miller. Future Farmers choose the week of Geroge Washingtons birthday each year for the observance of National FFA Week. Although usually recognized as a Revolutionary War General and our first President, Washingtons first love was the farm. He was one of the first in the nation to practice contour planting, crop rotations, fertilization, and other soil conservation and improvement methods.
