CHAPMAN Trcrrsurcr - lDOYI.1-I LEE Reprcscnfn.fi1ic - KENNETH AUSTIN CREED I believe in the future of farming. with a faith born not of words but of deeds- achievements won by the present and past generations of farmersg in the promise of better days through better ways, even as the better things we now enjoy have come up to us from the struggles of former years. I believe that to live and work on a good farm is pleasant as Well as challengingg for I know the joys and discomforts of farm life and hold an inborn fondness for those associations which, even in hours of discouragement, I can not deny. I believe in leadership from ourselves and respect from others. I believe in my own ability to work efficiently and think clearly, with such knowledge and skill as I can secure, and in the ability of organized farmers to serve our own and the public interest in marketing the product of our toil. I believe we can safeguard those rights against practices and policies that are unfair. I believe in less dependence on begging and more power in bargaining: in the life abundant and enough honest wealth to help make it so-for others as well as myselfg in less need for charity and more of it when neededg in being happy myself and playing square with those whose happiness depends upon me. I believe that rural America can and will hold true to the best traditions in our national life and that I can exert an influence in my home and community which will stand solid for my part in that inspiring task.

PAGE EPPELE Production under direction of Miss Francis Lingle Where's Laurie? was a three-act farce comedy by Joseph H. Arnold. The action of the entire pla takes place in the rumpus room of the country club where the Fall Prom is to be helld. The fly in the well-known ointment is Laurie Wiliams. Her class sisters decide that their men are paying entirely too much attention to Laurie and so they plan to keep her away from the prom by having Socki take her out of town that night. But plans go awry and Eddie is the one who spirits Laurie away. But Laurie manages to elude him at Haverhill. Meanwhile the Sheriff has been notified and radio reports concerning the kidnaping fill the air. Jinx Taylor and her accomplices are thrown into a panic when they hear Socki did not go with Laurieg and when Eddie finally appears with his confused story, the anxiety deepens. Laurie'S mother is frantic. Eventually, Laurie herself ap ears, but all is not well. She and her mother are going to press charges against Eddie. The girls lock her up to prevent this. Complications follow. There are strange comings and goings as the room lights mysteriously flash on and off. An innocent newspaper reporter is mistakenly bound, gagged and'locked in a closet. Shots are fired. The Sheriff is ready to tear his hair out by the rootsg he is thwarted at every turn by conflicting stories of the youngsters. He even gets the Governor on the wire. But all's well that ends well. Laurie's ghost appears and is caught by the kids. Laurie confesses that she gagged Miss McKenney, thinking she was Jinx. The news- paperwoman agrees not to press charges if Mrs. Williams will drop charges against Eddie. The prom goes on as scheduled. Page thirty- four
