F. F. A. NEWS
LACEY LOWRY, Reporter
There will be a regular meeting
of the Palacios F.F.A1. Chapter
Monday night in the Palacios High
School study hall. The boys will
'discuss several of the chapter pro-
gram functions, also there will be
a report on how the boys came out
with their calves at the Progress
Show in Bay City.
* * *
There will be six boys of the
T.F.A. Chapter along with six
:girls of the F.H.A. to help serve
at the T.ST.A. banquet this Thurs-
day night at the Junior High
School cafeteria. The boys are
Jesse Ellis, Leonard Ellis, Gilbert
Ellis, Carrol Ramsey, David Boll-
ing, and Harry Frankson.
* * *
Nine boys of the Palacios Chap-
ter went to the Progress Show in
Bay City, Saturday.
Milton Tyler placed first in show-
manship and Gilbert Ellis placed
seventh.
The boys placing at the Progress
Show were as follows; Jesse Ellis
placed in the blue ribbon class;
Milton Tyler, Gilbert Ellis, Ronald
Jensen, Jim Murry, Herbert Abra-
ham and Corporon placed in the
red ribbon class, and Dennis Jen-
sen placed in the white ribbon
-Class.
The purpose of this show is to
■see how the calves are progressing
and see if any of them should be
dropped from the contest which
will be held in March. A boy does
not have to drop out of the con-
test, but it is to his benefit if he
does because it will save him
money and time.
The Progress Show serves as a
place where the calves can become
used to large crowds and lots of
noise.

Deufschburg Sends
Thanks For Support
Given M.O.D. Supper
The people of the Deutschburg
and Turtle Bay communities want
to thank each individual and firm
for any donation and help that they
gave to make their March of Dimes
Seafood Supper and cake auction a
success. Without the wonderful co-
operation of each one this would
have been impossible to do.
The net proceeds amounted to
$631 of which $300 was sent to
the Palacios March of Dimes fund
and the remainder to Jackson Coun-
ty’s fund. Our community has two
polio victims, one in each county.
