Among the new meln- bers received into the club were Donald Hudson and Clifford Phillips. For recreation the boys played the night school a basketball game. The F. F, boys won. Due to tre food shortage, the usual annual banquet was omittled in 1943. ' From all indications the members are doing all they can for a qulck victory. Altogether they have pledged five to six hundred dollars for vilar bonds. V awards were issued to all members who increased the produc- tion of hogs, beef, and other kinds of livestock. Some have producedlas much as three hundred per cent more than formerly. At the county F. F.,A. show in Melvin last September, Glenn Bradd, Harvey Rutledge, and james Summers received awards amounting to thirty-six dollars. During the last year a total of five thousand one hundred eighty-nine dollars and twenty- cight cents was cleared on all projects. i In the spring a tour of each member's project was made. All exhibits were in good condition, and the boys cooperated extensively to prodwce more and better projects. All of the club collected scrap, and they have extended all efforts to a speedy victory.
