FFA FHA HERO Pigs For Profit igs for profit. Beef for Bucks. These were only some of tfie goals of the FUTURE FARMERS of AMER- ICA. John Johnson, whose sow he called Birdie, and other members raised many animals, not for pets, but for a gain. For every piglet that we sell, we make about $55, stated John Johnson, and at 8-12 piglets a liter, that ' s a lot of baconi But pigs and cat- tle were not the only types of live-stock that were raised. There were also chickens and sheep, as well as the usu- al plants. Of course, profit was not the group ' s only focus. The animals raised were of- ten shown and judged at such events as the Hemet Farmer ' s Fair and the Chino Field Day. Although taking care of the animals is a lot of hard work, commented Laura Clark, It is definitely worth watching an investment grow. Members of FUTURE HOMEMAK- ERS of AMERICA found joy in tak- ing care of children at Longfellow Ele- mentary School and making visits to senior citizens in convalescent homes. The work was often trying and re- quired an amount of patience, but FITA members found their own rewards. The work can be frustrating, but it has helped me get along with others, re- marked Rachel Zaragoza. The most important skill a student can learn is to interact with others, com- mented Advisor Rosalyn Anderson, vi ' Helping a little girl with her math, Lydia Andrade carries out part ol her responsibility as a memloer of FHA. Andrade volunteered to work at Hiqhgove as part oi a child care unit. 1 82 orqanizations
