Miller pointed out. four of them are students in tfee Decatur high ‘school who take the course in the public high school. One of them is an officer 'in the FFA chapter here, Maurice filler, who serves as treasurer. The Decatur chapter of the FFA is served ,by Jim Moses', as president. Eugene Fuelling, vice! president, and AlJlen Grote, secretary. i ? r' . ' These officers are elected by the member?*. and Opnducf the meetings of the 'chapter. The entire membership, however, outlines policy and participates in the pest control drives, safety campaigns, and selling garden seed,\ a vital hidans of adding to the chapter’s treasury. . ' The members, who are eligible to join the organization at 14, can retain active participation inthe FFA three years after high school graduation. at which time they becohie associate members. These members, in addition to learning the of successful firming, also! assist farmer* in community service. Miller stated that thirt community service includes such things sis electrically clipping and tattooing dairy cows, the latter as a means of identification: and soil testing. That entire vocational-agri-cultural membership in the Decatpr high school has willfully become members of the FFA chapter. Miller, feels, is a tribute to the ideals of the organization, A and' is certain that the Decatur chapter of the FFA will continue growing. Its growth. Miller\says. can mean only one thing: more and better’service to farmers in the community, with the boys becoming better farmers through their participation ip the chapter* I .

Lincoln outlined his Republican principles in the Cooper Union speech on Feb. 27, 186 ff, and they went over big with a newly-born New England branch of the GOP called the “Wide-Awake” party. The Wide-Awakes penned a song they sang; wherever Lincoln stopped during his iB6O New England tour, after he had |nade the 'Cooper Union address. The sopg was sung to a tune resembling “The Old Grey Mare” ghd went this way: “Old Abe Lincoln came out* of the wilderness, “old Abe Linbolni cattie out of the wilderness, \ ' I “old Abe Lincoln came out of the wilderness, down in Illinois. “Ain’t I glad I jined the WideAwakes. jined the Wide-Awakes, jined the Wide-Awakes. ( “Ain-’t I glad 1 jined the WideAwakes. down in Illinois.” The .Wide-Awakes’ jaunty ditty was one of the first instances of public recognition of the importance of the Cooper Union spefech, Historians now rate it the speech, that made him the simkesman of. flie Republican party, and pushed Him into the ring for the presidential nomination.

Annual Pilgrimage To Lincoln's Tomb Legion Commander Assails Russians Springfield, 111., Feb. 12—(UP)— Tlie nation today marked the 142nd anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. Pilgrims from all parts of the cbrtntry made their way to the tomb in Oak Ridge cemetery where the great emancipator is buried, and to,the white frame house where he lived when he was Spripgfield’s adopted son. Fifteen solders stood at attention in the grey mist of an overcast sky while army Col. William J. Murray placed President Truman's wreath on the tomb. A snappy salute ended the brier .ceremony. e A .group, of Springfield, lawyers made a mile and a half walk from the Sangamon county courthouse, where Lincoln made his famous “himse divided" speech, to the cemetery. They followed the route taken by the hearse which carried Lincoln’s body in 1865. r)r" Ralph Bunche, negro who won the Nobel Prize for peace in 1350, was the leading speaker at a Lincoln day meeting In Springfield high school. At the tomb, national American Legion commander Erie Cocke, Jr.,

whose greaugrandparents fought for the Confedracy., led a Legion delegation on Its 17th annual Linceln day pilgrimage. Cocke said it is “pure pussyfooting'’ to call red China an “aggressor.” He said China should be "condemned as a criminal,” • Russia should be expelled from the United Nations, and the free natiohs Should plamp economic sanations upon Russia add all her satellites. Cocke spoke ;}at ceremonies in observance of the 142nd anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. The 29-year-old Legion commander attacked the United Nations resolution labeling China an aggressor. He said the . original revolution offered by this country was “pitifully Watered down, so as- not to jOffend the Chinese communists . . or Moscow.” “In appeasement there can be no ‘just and everlasting peace’/’ Cocke said. “Youi can’t just tell a bully he’s a bad, bad boy.” Frankfort Woman Is Burned To Death Frankfort.
