said. "This program—by far the
lurgest event of its nature In the
country—has commanded nation-
wide attention to Texas and to
the state fair.
"The youngsters will be admit-
ted free to the fairgrounds and
will be served a box at noontime
at a king-size picnic that for sheer
magnitude will rival other specta-
cular events at the fair. Two
hundred Boy Scouts will do the
serving. Dallas business leaders
will be hosts and the Dallas Cham-
ber of Commerce will assist," he
said.
More than 1800 vocational agri-
culture and homemaking teachers
and more than 500 county agents
will cooperate in the rural youth
program, Mr. Aston said.
The kids will come from every
section of Texas to see the high-
lights of the 1951 fair, including
the Pan-Amerian National Here-
ford Show, Aberdeen-Angus, Brah-
man and Shorthorn cattle shows
and other outstanding livestock
shows. They also will see the
"Story-Book of Texas Agriculture,"
a dramatic new presentation of
Texas farming with exhibits from
the each of 14 extensive districts
from the Panhandle to the Rio
Grande Valley.
An innovation this year will be
a dinner-dance Friday night, Oct.
5, at which Honor Award Medals
will be presented to 24 outstand-
ing Future Farmers and Home-
makers and 28 top-flight Four-H
boys and girls.
