FFA will attend convention
By MERRILYNN AIKEN
Staff Writer
Kansas City here they come! The
Future Farmer's of America arc
holding their national convention in
Kansas City, Missouri from Nov.
10 to 13 and Perry High School
will be well represented.
Current and former students from
Perry High who won last year’s
FFA state competition will be
competing at the national conven
tion in Kansas City next week.
“The teams that win these con
tests are pretty sharp,” said Perry
High’s FFA advisor Argenc Clax
ton. He added that this is the largest
youth organization convention in
the world with 24,000 students at
tending.
Claxton praised the FFA students
at Perry High. “They certainly did
what we asked them to, to win the
state competition.”
He added that while they have the
students to win, they sometimes
Carr says Red Cross needs blood
By ANISSA CLEMONS
Stall Writer
Lucia Carr, a consultant for the
American Red Cross, spoke to the
Exchange Club Thursday and ex
pressed the dire need for blood in
the Perry area.
"The hist community blood drive
held in Perry had the lowest re
sponse ever," Carr said.
"We're seeing a general apathy
across the board in people who
don't think we need (blood)," she
said.
Carr said many people take
blood for granted, and "they think
it's going to be there. But it's not."
Four to six people can be helped
with one pint of blood. It s broken
down into plasma, red cells,
platelets and blood products, which
are produced from plasma.
Another factor that has con
tributed to the low blood donation
rate is a fear of contracting AIDS,
Carr said.
"I want to pul to rest any con
cerns you have about giving blood.

They won four state contests last
year and one of the complications
of having so many winners ex
plained Claxton, is that there is not
enough time to prepare each of
them. He added that some FFA
chapters have only one team and
can concentrate on just one compe
tition.
Students have been preparing for
the convention for a year to a year
and a half but the work never slops.
“We’ll come back from Kansas
City and start thinking about this
year’s state competition,” Claxton
explained.
Students study video tapes, refer
ence materials and hold hands on
practice sessions to prepare for the
convention. Student Ricky Stevens
explained, “We study as a team but
compete as individuals.”

You can not contract AIDS or any

Carr told the group a lot of people

with diabetes.

makes a person feel good and may

Democracy Scholarship Program,"
Commander William (Rip) Collins
of VFW Post 6605 in Warner

broadcast script-writing program
conducted annually by the Veterans
of Foreign Wars and its Ladies
Auxiliary.
Some of the fringe benefits, ac
cording to Commander Collins, are

others and valuable training in self
expression. For the slate winners,

there is also the broadening experi
ence of a five-day lour of
Washington, D.C. and the opportu
nity to make lasting friendships
with the other state winners.
In the 46 years that the VFW and
its Ladies Auxiliary have been in
volved with the Voice of
Democracy Program, more than
6,000,000 high school students
have participated. Participants write
and then tape-record a thrcc-10-fivc
minute broadcast script expressing
their views on "My Voice In
America's Future". From among
the state winners, national winners
are chosen to receive a total of over
$78,500 in scholarships.
"One of the greatest benefits to
young people who take pan in the
program is that by thinking, writ
ing and speaking up for their coun
try, they gain a belter appreciation
of their obligation and freedom in
America," Commander Collins
said.
