FFA Convention at Dallas.
Future Farmers from practical-
ly every chapter in Texas will
be present at the three day
convention.
The Grandview Chapter will
receive recognition as being
one of the winners in the Na-
tional Chapter Contest. This
means that the local chapter
was judged to be one of the
top eight chapters in the
state, and is now eligible to
enter the contest on the na-
tional level. The contest will
be judged next fall at the na-
tional convention.
Also receiving recognition
at the State Convention will
be the Greenhand Chapter Con-
ducting Team which placed
first in the state this previous
year. The state winner of each
official FFA judging contest
or leadership contest will also
be on hand to receive recog-
nition.
Fred Lubke will receive
his State Farmers Degree at
the convention. This degree is
only awarded to 2% of the
membership in Texas each
year, and there are about
11,000 members in the State
of Texas. The State Farmers
Degree is the second highest
degree obtainable in the FFA.

The brother and sister pic-
tured in last week’s Guess
Who column were Daniel and
Bertie Kiker. They were child-
ren of the late Mr. and Mrs.
Wick Kiker.
Daniel is deceased. His
wife lives in Crowley. Their
children are daughter, Karon,
who lives at home, and a son,
Joe Dee, of Memphis, Tenn.
Bertie is married to Clyde
Swain and resides in Grand-
view. They have a son, Edwin
Earl Swain, two grandsons and
a granddaughter. Mrs. Swain,
is a Licensed Vocational
Nurse and is employed at Me-
morial Hospital.
Mrs. Kennard Williams, 68,
passed away Monday, July 17,
in Memorial Hospital follow-
ing a long illness. She had be-
come seriously ill at her home
and was taken to the hospital
early Saturday morning and re-
mained until her demise which
occurred about noon on Mon-
day.
Mrs. Williams was the for-
mer Eva Ford, born December
8, 1898 to George and Flor-
ence Brandon Ford. She was
born in Grandview and had
lived in this community all of
her life. Her mother preceded
her in death two months to the
day—on May 17, 1967.
Mrs. Williams was a member
of the First Baptist Church.
Her departure will be missed
not only by the family, but by
neighbors and her great multi-
tude of friends.
She was married to M. K.
Williams in Grandview on July
16, 1916; thus the couple had
observed 51 years of life to-
gether on the day preceding
her death.
Survivors include her hus-
band; two daughters, Mrs. Cal-
vin (Ruth) Siratt of Grandview
and Mrs. Tom (Billie) Williams
of Dallas; three grandchildren;
one great-grandchild; two sis-
ters, Mrs. Andrew J. Ingle of
Grandview and Mrs. Mary
Boldin of Alvarado; three
brothers, Brandon Ford of Al-
varado, Tom Ford of Dallas
and Robert Ford of Moore, Ok-
lahoma.

las.

SPECIAL EMPHASIS will
be placed on farm safety July
23-29. This period has been pro-
claimed National Farm Safety
Week by President Johnson.
Governor Connally has likewise
designated the same period as
Farm Safety Week in Texas.
Many county judges throughout
the state will proclaim a county-
wide safety week during the
same period at the request of
the Texas Farm Bureau.
Theme of this year’s seven-
day focus on farm safety is
“Think and Act Safely.”
THIS IS EXACTLY what
TFB’s Safety Department
strives to instill in the minds of
Texas’ citizens not only for one
week each summer, but through-
out the year.
During the last school year,
TFB Safety Director Joe Sme-
tana presented 110 fire demon-
strations in 62 counties to more
than 29,000 students.
At the same time Ben Bullard,
assistant director, reached al-
most 44,000 students in 87 coun-
ties with 196 auto safety dem-
onstrations.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT as-
pect of TFB’s safety program
is the sponsorship of approxi-
mately 140 firemen each year'
to attend the Firemen’s Train-
ing School at Texas A&M. This
year’s school is July 17-21.
Farm Bureau also pays $75 to
the fire department that an-
swers a call to Farm Bureau
insured property in the rural
areas of Texas.
Television is still anothei
means TFB uses to stress farm
safety. TFB and the Southern
Farm Bureau Casualty Insur-
ance Company have produced-
60-second and 20-second color
sound-on-film television spots
about the SMV emblem. Fifty
spots are now being used by
Texas’ television stations as a
public service. Ten other states
have purchased copies of the
spots for use in their states.
THE NATIONAL Safety
Council has named this produc-
tion an “Award Winning Film.”
(Smetana, operating the tractor
displaying the SMV, is star of
the spots.) Only three other
states have more wheeled trac-
tors than Texas. According to
the US Census of Agriculture,
Texas has 263,386 wheeled
tractors.
WHAT ELSE DOES Texas
Farm Bureau and the American
Farm Bureau Federation do to
push farm safety ? They both
back legislation designed to
make our homes, highways,
recreation areas and places of
business safer places in which-
to be.
Each day during National
Safety Week has been set aside
to place emphasis on a par-
ticular aspect of the overall
safety program. They are: Sun-
day—Reverence for Life; Mon-
day—Safety Begins at Home;
Tuesday — Prevent Poisoning;
Wednesday — Prevent Falls;
Thursday — Rural Highway
Safety; Friday—Farm Machin-
ery Safety; and Saturday —
Recreation Safety.
