John Hodges, chief operating
officer at Harris Methodist Dublin,
said friends of Maikell found out at
at noon Tuesday that the Carter
Bloodmobile would be at Dr. Ron
Huse’s Chiropractic Clinic as part of
a health fair.
“We pin the word out, at the last
minute, and several went over and
donated to the communitv account
for Lloyd,” Hodges said. “We ap-
preciate the community help.”
Hodges said the community
blood account had run out prior to
the drive.
There were 33 volunteers who
showed up to donate blood, with 13
volunteering especially for Maikell.
Hodges said there were no plans
for another local blood drive until
the one scheduled regularly in Oc-
tober.
arts and crafts show was omitted in
1987 and that seems to have put a
damper on the enthusiasm of the
ones who normally share the fruits
of their talents with the community
by entering the show ”
Doggett said the show is back for
good.
“Last year’s show was very good,
but many people didn't know the
show had been resumed so we mis-
sed getting to see some items that
would have been shared.” she said.
“Please feel free to enter any iems
that you have finished since 1986."
The annual show will have many
categories, but if someone brings in
a one-of-a-kind article, a new
category will be made for it. Dog-
ged said.
“Our rules are flexible,” she said.
“Our goal is to have a good show: a
show where everyone who is crea-
tive can show their work and in
doing so inspire others to become
productive.
"In working with senior citizens,
of which I am one, I become more
convinced each day that creative
hobbies, community projects, as
well as social activities, prolong
life,” Doggett said. “Let’s all start
getting our entries together for the
show."
Anyone wishing to help or with
questions about the show should
contact Dogged after 5 p.m. at 445-
2668 or Gene Ross at 445-2682.
“Suggestions are welcome,”
Dogget said. “Some good sugges-
tions were made last year that will
be implemented this year.”
Other St. Patrick’s Activities
Details are still being worked out
on other festival activities. As in-
formation is made available, it will
be published in Tht Dublin
Progress.
Information is also available at
the chamber office, 445-3422.

More than 404,500 FFA members
will promote FFA, high school
agriculture and the food and fiber
industry during National FFA Week,
Feb. 18-25.
FFA members in more than 7,800
chapters across the U.S., including
the District of Columbia, Puerto
Rico and the Virgin Islands, will be
organizing events and activities to
create awareness of and support for
high school agriculture and FFA.
This year’s theme for the week,
“Agriculture’s Leading Edge—
FFA,” will be seen throughout
communititcs nationwide, not only
through promotional, efforts of the
local members, but also through
^national public service announce-
ment campaign.
Local leadership activities plan-
ned for the week are as follows;
Monday—open house and awards;
Tuesday—Blue and Gold Day;
Wednesday—Ag Cap Day;
Thursday—official dress; Friday—
Farmer Day.
Friday will also be the day for
poster to be due in recognition of
FFA Week.
FFA activities and high school
agriculture classes emphasize
leadership skills, innovative prac-
tices adn the application of both to
the industry of agriculture.
Larry Case, national FFA advisor,
said the face of American agricul-
ture is changing rapidly.
“The American agricultural in-
dustry is competing in a global
marketplace, and, as a result, new
emphasis has been placed on
marketing and innovation,” Case
said. “New occupations arc develop-
ing rapidly and FFA members are
working hard to be on the leading
edge of these new fields. Agris-
cience, biotechnology, com-
munications, marketing, research
and computers are just a few of the
careers for which FFA members are
preparing.”
Each year FFA Week is bdd
during the week of George
Washington’s birthday to recognize
his leadership and commitment to
American agriculture. Both the Na-
tional FFA Center and the National
FFA Hall of Achievement are
located on part of Washington’s
original Mount Vernon estate near
Alexandria, Va.
FFA is a national otgnaizauon
students preparing for over 200 dif-
ferent agricultural careers. FFA ac-
tivities and award programs com-
plement instruction in high school
agriculture by giving students prac-
tical experience in the application of
agricultural skills and knowledge
Mined in classes. Developing
agricultural leadership, cooperation
2d citizenship are FFA’s major ob-
jectives.
