Let me urge you to continue your studies. The merit program recognizes you as a talented person who undoubtedly will be one of our country’s future leaders in the field of your choice. However, your potential will be realized only through perserverance and the most extensive training you can obtain. You have my best wishes for success as you continue your education. I hope that you will realize the high promise you have shown. The letter was signed by John M. Stalnaker, president of the National Merit Scholarship Corporation.

A Week To Remember The weds of February 15 to 22 has been set aside as National Future Fanners of America Week. The theme of this observance is “FFA — An Opportunity for Youth.” The Future Farmers of America is a national organization of high school students studying vocational agriculture in our public schools. It is an educational non-profit, non-politi-cal organization of, by and for these students. The foundation upon which it is built includes leadership, character development, sportsmanship, cooperation, community service, thrift, scholarship, improved agriculture, organized recreation, citizenship and patriotism. The FFA itself does not make its members outstanding, but, instead, provides the opportunity for them to excel, grow and become outstanding. Young people in FFA learn the meaning of local initiative. Local FFA chapters provide the strength of the organization. In the local chapters, student officers and members develop into agricultural leaders. As long as we have youth organizations such as the FFA, we may rest assured that the violence and lawlessness of the dissenters, whose only aim is destruction, will represent the acts of a minority — and a small minority at that.
