LOUISA’S LETTER \*uty

Dear Louisa. My girl friend and 1 are having a problem about boys. We like these guys because they are very good friends. They watch us all the time in class, even when we are not doing anything. This girl who has a big bust goes after both of them and they fall for it. But like I say they stare at us in class and talk to us some. They especially hang with us at free library time but when that other girl shows up there they go. . We asked this girl if she liked one of these boys or both and she says they bug me to death. It seems to me that she bugs them. Friends-Miss. Answer: There are always girls

who attract the other sex more than other girls do. But if the only asset your competitor has is a more developed body, don’t give up hope. Personality, kindness, good grooming and many other things are longer lasting assets than a big bosom. Try not to be jealous and say mean things about this girl. There is an old saying that “if you can’t beat 'em. join ’em”. So if this girl is a nice girl try being friends with her. You may end up being a winner.

Form Bureau Women plan active year

With the approaching new year, many area organizations are planning activities for the upcoming year, including the Farm Bureau Women’s group. Paula Miller, Kosciusko County Farm Bureau Women’s leader, enumerated some of the future plans recently. The countywide group is interested in expanding elementary children’s knowledge of the farm. By offering “farming in the classroom,” the ladies can educate youth on the agricultural industry and activities. Farm Bureau Women would also like to expand its farm tours for the elementary grades, explained Mrs. Miller. Primarily designed for third graders, the tours enable children to have contact with farms and be aware of farm operations. “It’s amazing how many children have never been on the farm,” added the county leader. In instances where funds aren’t available for tour expenses such as buses, Farm Bureau Women has absorbed the costs. Carcass cut-ups is another service supported by the women’s group. For the carcass cut-ups, a Farm Bureau fieldman and state staffer take a meat carcass into high school classrooms and demonstrate how to cut the carcass into meat and what cuts of meat come from what part of the animal. A carcass cut-up demonstration has been given in Warsaw, Tippecanoe Valley and Wawasee High Schools. Following the demonstration, the Farm Bureau representatives give cooking suggestions and the meat is donated to the school for use in home economic classes. A third service offered to area schools by the Farm Bureau Women is the product promotion programs. Throughout the state, 18 ladies are available to instruct students on how to prepare beef and pork dishes. Scheduled Events On Agricuture Day, March 19, the county Farm Bureau Women will host a supper for area home ec teachers. Besides the meal, a training session promoting agriculture and closer ruralurban relationships will be offered. . The State Farm Bureau Women’s Conference will be held March 27 and 28 in Indianapolis for representatives. Then in April, a series of district women’s workshops will also be offered.
