Adams Central FFA Give Food To Needy

By Mike Tboele An extremely positive expression of the Thanksgiving spirit was displayed, for the twelfth consecutive year, in the Future Farmers of America Thanksgiving program conduced Wednesd afternoon at Adams Central high school. The program, begun in 1951 at the old Kirkland township high school by F.F.A. moderator Martin Watson, has been continued by the F.F.A. chapter at Adams Central, where Watson now teaches. Each grade school class from the fifth grade up and each high school homeroom assembles a basket of food be given to a needy family. The baskets are gaily decorated and during the F.F.A. program in the school gym the best decorated baskets are awarded prizes. The program is conducted by the F.F.A. officers and includes short speeches, singing and a special Thanksgiving message by a visiting minister. After the ceremonies the baskets are loaded into the automobiles of F.F.A. members. The drivers are given sealed envelopes with only a number written on the outside. The figure indicates the number of members in the family which will receive the basket. After the driver leaves the school he open the envelope to find the address of the family to whose home the basket will be delivered.
