 — U fteefefrDisfoibu ig PluppeM JiuckUtg Caution-Look up, Power lines may be Overhead. This is the slogan of stickers that were sent out to area residents. The stickers were part of a program on electrical safety under- taken by the FFA. This was just one of the many activities the FFA Chapter did this year. They are working on winning an award in the Building Our American Communities (BOAC) Contest. The chapter has done such activities as building a shelter house at the Plow-in-the-Oak Park, tearing down an old barn, and planting trees at Littlefield's Park. The Exira FFA softball team went undefeated and won the Southwest Iowa FFA District Softball tournament and had their annual fruit and cheese sale, along with the business- man's breakfast. A few members went to Kansas City for the National FFA Convention. Members showed their stock at County Fair, as well as State Fair, and were in many judging contests around the vicinity. The canoe trip to Canada was ranked as the most pleasant memory, according to Mitch Munch, while Jon Wahlert thought that building the shelter-house at the park was even better. Mr. Stewart, the FFA's new advisor, replied. I really enjoy my work here more because Exira is a more rural community. The boys are the best group that I have ever worked with, and they make work more enjoyable. They are a very active group with high goals. If they keep up at this pace they will be one of the best FFA Chapters in the state. 4
