I arrived at Normal University at 10:30 a.m. After registering, we were soon called to the lobby where county pictures were tak¬ en There were seven boys from McHenry County, representing McHenry, Woodstock, Harvard, Marengo, Hebron, Richmond, and Huntley.
After lunch in the cafeteria, there was a assembly. After greet-> ings and welcome. Herb Damisch talked on '"Why We Are Here", which he said was to provide boys from FFA a chance to study tho American Way of Life and the keystones on which it has grown. The first key was Belief on God. We saw a movie "Dust or Destiny" an4 heard a fine speech by Re\-. Harold Skillrud. Then Mr. Larry Taylor talked on keys 2 and 3, The Importance of the Individual and Government as Servant. He made the point that in our coun¬ try, the government is to be the servant of tho people.
Mr Harold Steel talked on keys 4 and 5, The Motive-Profit and Private   Ownership   of   Property.
He said that people work hardest when there is a chance of profit and when they have hope of own¬ ing something themselves.
We saw Normal win a basket¬ ball game the first evening
The next da>-, keys 6 and 7 were discussed. We saw a moview "In- sidfc Cackel Corners" and heard a talk on PricesGuide to Produc¬ tion and Compsumption and Free Competition. This talk showed how high prices cause over-pro¬ duction and how over-production can cause the price to fall where there is free competition.
In the afternoon, we saw differ¬ ent businesses and went through the new lAA Building to see the Farm Bureau businesses in action
Thursday evening, there was a banquet followed by five great en¬ tertainment   acts.
On Friday, Don Coil of FFA gave an address on What Each Can Do Bacli Home. It was sug¬ gested that each person at the conference should write a report for his home-town paper.
I would like to thank the Farm Bureau and) our Huntley FFA for the opportunity to go to the con¬ ference. Walter Hoffman

Thus far, the young team has played 10 games winning three of them. Although this record does not seem too impressive, it is re¬ markable for a team just starting in the Illinois Amateur Basketball League. Most teams usually do not win any games during their first year of competition play.
