Former Millburn Boy
To Be Honored Here By Future Farmers
The sixth annual Father and Son banquet, sponsored this year by
the newly organized Future Farmers of America, will indeed be a
true father and son affair for one of the sons will come home this
year to be honored for the splendid services he has rendered to
agriculture throughout the United States. E. A. White, Chicago,
who has for many years been chairman of the Committee on
Electricity and Its Relation to Agriculture, will come home to
received honorary recognition from the Agricultural Department of
the Antioch High school. He will also be the principal speaker of
the evening.
Mr. White is the son of David M. White of Millburn, who was
honored last year for his services to this community. That his
son should be selected as the one to be honored this year seems
most fitting for the occasion.
The banquet is for the boys, who are members of the Antioch
Chapter of The Future Farmers of America and their dads.
The banquet will be held Friday, April 12, in the high school
cafeteria and will be served by the Home Economics class.
C. L. Kutil, agriculture instructor, will act as toastmaster.

defeated Edward A. Martin, who tried a comeback but failed 234

he first gained the office.
