County ASC Committee Takes Office Elmer Rassi of near was re-elected to a new threeyear term as a member of Kosciusko county’s Agricultural Conservation and Stabilization (ASC) committee at the annual county convention held September 30. He and other committee members will be responsible for administering farm - action programs in the county for the next year. The other members are Scott Horn, chairman of near Warsaw, and regular member Roy Walters of near Akron. Mr. Rassi’s position is vice chairman of the committee. Terms of office for county committeemen are on a threeyear basis, with one new member normally being elected each at a convention of newly elected community ASC committeeman. The situation varies, however, according to the number of actual vacancies on the committee. In addition, first and second alternates are elected for one year each. Mr. Horn is serving his second year of a three-year term, and Mr. Walters is serving his third year. The newly elected alternates are: Ralph Long of Etna Green and Wayne Johnson of near Warsaw. The ASC farmer - committee system is unique. No other group of citizens has so direct a voice in developing and running government programs. Farmers eligible to take part in programs administered by the committee first elect community committeemen, who in turn elect county committeemen. While the county committee is in actual charge of administering the program locally, the community committeemen lend operating assistance where needed and are particularly responsible for keeping their neighbors informed about the programs available. The elected committees are not federal officeholders. Congress holds the department of agriculture responsible for program activities, and the department in turn relies on the judgment and leadership of the locally elected farmers and the county office employees. The county office serves as the headquarters for farmer business connected with program participation. Major ASC activities in Kosciusko county include the agriculture conservation program, price support loans on wheat, corn, soybeans, etc., the feed grain program, the wheat program, and others. Total farm program business handled by the county ASCS office in Kosciusko county last year amounted to over one and three quarter million dollars which both improved the income of farm producers and strenghthened the economy of the whole area. t Youth Groups Organized At Christian Church Youth groups were organized at the Milford Christian church on Sunday with 51 young people and 11 sponsors in attendance at the kick-off meeting. The junior youth group (grades seven and eight) are under the leadership of Mr. and Mrs. John Replogle and Mr. and Mrs. Richard Hepler and the senior high youth group (grades nine, 10, 11 and' 12) are under the sponsorship of Steve Replogle and Mr. and Mrs. Carl Shearer.
