FFA members plan big week at State Fair Indianapolis, Ind.—"Our state fair is a great state fair,” and the 4-H and Future Farmers of America (FFA) members—about 9,000 of them—who enter nearly half of the fair’s exhibits an* i big part of it. There will be displays in nearly every imaginable category, from hogs to dresses, watermelons to bees. Livestock offers a good opportunity for enterprising youngsters to profit at the fair—last year’s Grand Champion 4-H Club beef steer was auctioned off at $4,000. This year more than $10,000 in premiums will be offered for cattle alone. Hogs also draw handsome prizes— nearly $5,000 in premiums. In the Poultry Building, 4-K members compete for the $1,115 available in prize money with blue-ribbon rabbits and poultry. Youngsters in 4-H excel in the Agriculture - Horticulture Department too. Competing for premiums with exhibits in beekeeping, garden projects, tomatoes, potatoes, and gladioli, they will take home $2,155 in prize money. The latest in clothing and home furnishings will be displayed at the 4-H Exhibit Hall, along with baked goods, electrical projects and crafts exhibits. FFA members will show their exhibits at Young McDonald’s Farm where agriculture mechanics projects and sales and service displays vie with traditional farm products for attention. “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” and the same goes for Jill. Several activities and contests have been planned to provide 4-H Club and FFA members with entertainment and opportunity to win trips and prizes during their stay at the fair this year. Winners of the 4-H Club state public speaking contest, to be held at 8 a.m., Wednesday, Aug. 28, in the Indiana University Building, will receive trips to Washington, D.C., and New York. FFA members who participate in the state FFA greased pig contest will live "high on the hog” if they win—they will receive a feeder pig and a cash prize. Trips will also be awarded to winners in the state 4-H and FF A demonstrations, state 4-H dress revue, tractor operator’s contest, 4-H and FFA judging contests, and the state “selection of school wear,” “let’s have a party” and “study desk unit” judging contests. Scholarships will be offered in addition to the trips and cash prizes.

A S A NOTORIOUSLY long-winded legal eagle was about j"V to summarize his arguments in a case already prolonged, the judge facetiously admonished him, "Please do not cast too many pearls before swine.” “Don’t worry. Your Honor,” countered the lawyer. “I am about to address the jury, not the court." * • • "Minnesota Fats." unquestionably the most famous pool shark in the world, was born Rudolf Wanderone, Jr. on a farm in the midwest. Today, wealthy and rotund (he tips the scale at 270 pounds) he’s still a farmer at heart, though he told interviewer Clip Amory, "By 1954 I was so great in pool I broke everybody. Nobody would dream of playing me today except with other people’s money. With their own dough, those guys wouldn't bet me that fat meat is greasy.” Minnesota Fats added, perhaps unnecessarily. "Modesty is for stiffs.” * * * QUICKIES: Latest joke from Las Vegas has it that Howard Hughes, who seems determined to buy the whole city, is now having the white lines on the main thoroughfares painted—by Picasso. The trouble with telling a good story, grumbles Herb Gaen, is that it reminds the other fellow of a boring one. Statistician Francis Duffy opines that when the inheritance taxes, the excise taxes, the surrogates and army of lawyers get through settling an estate, the friendless beneficiary doesn’t have a legacy to stand on. © 1968, by Bennett Cerf. Distributed by King Features Syndicate City represented at convention

Mrs. Willard Silvey, Miss Lily Hepler, and Mrs. John Boyd have returned from New York City where they attended the Internationa! Convention of the Delta Kappa Gamma Society held at the Americana Hotel. There were more than 1600 members of the Society registered and in attendance at the Convention. One feature of the meeting was the announcement of the winners of the thirteen 1968-1969 Scholarships for graduate study. The Edna McGuire Boyd Scholarship was awarded to Mrs. Virginia Wylie of Charleston, West Virginia. Mrs. Wylie will work for a Ph. D. degree in educational administration and elementary education at Ohio State University. Mrs. Wylie has been selected at the Kanawha County School System to serve as principal of an innovative type of elementary school, scheduled to open in 1970. Three new scholarships were established at this convention, one of which was named for Dr. Carolyn Guss, a professor at Indiana University and a recent International President of Delta Kappa Gamma. In addition, a bequest by two sister members has made possible the granting of an annual scholarship for the next several years. Thus the Society will in 1969-1970 grant 17 Scholarships for graduate study. During the biennium just con-

cluded Delta Kappa Gamma through its international, state, and chapter structure invested a total of approximately onehalf million dollars in scholarships for graduate study by members, in recruitment grants for undergraduate study by prospective teachers, and in World Fellowship grants to foreign teachers for study in the United

States.

The featured speaker at the closing session of the Convenion was Dr. Ethel Alpenfels, Professor of Anthropology in New York University’s School of Education. Dr. Alpenfels, an honorary member of Delta Kappa Gamma, spoke from the title,

“Tomorrow is Today.”

(UPI)—Swedish actress May Britt, saying she had “become ill and unhappy” during her marriage to Sammy Davis Jr., has sued the Negro entertainer

for divorce.

The interracial marriage nearly eight years ago was the first in Hollywood involving a topflight star. The filing of the complaint Tuesday in Superior Court followed the announcement last November the couple had agreed to a trial separation. At that time, Davis said the separation was his wife’s idea. Miss Britt, 31, accused Davis of inflicting “great anguish and mental suffering.” The suit asked that community property be divided in a “just manner,” and said Davis, 42, would assume community debts. She also sought custody of their daughter, Tracey, 7, and two adopted sons, Mark, 8, and

(List)

’ GARY, Ind. (UPI) - Three prominent Negroes joined Gary Mayor Richard G. Hatcher today for his weekly news conference, but there was no advance indication as to what prompted their visit. Joining Indiana’s first Negro mayor at his news conference were Rep. John Conyers, D. Mich., entertainer Harry Belafonte, and Mrs. Coretta King, widow of slain civil rights lead, er Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. There was some speculation

that the Negroes would endorse Hatcher for the Democratic vice presidential nomination. Gary Negro newspaper pub. Usher Edward (Doc) James had proposed Cleveland Negro mayor Carl B. Stokes for the vice presidential nomination, but Stokes said he was not interest, ed. Hatcher, who is in a different Democratic faction than James, said last Friday in Memphis, Tenn., that the Democrats would do well to think of a Negro as vice president.
