Home economics students at Shafter High School in the Future Homemakers of America have planned and completed many worthwhile projects this year. Under advisers Miss Beverly Gist and Miss Wanda Cain the FHA has grown, aiding the Agriculture Department's Parent-Son Banquet and coordinating events with the Farm Bureau.

Austin Purcell, operator of the large sewage disposal plant on Burbank avenue, notes the potato harvest drives daily inflow to 400000 to 600000 gallons with peaks near two million during peak season.

Modernization reduced staff from two to one as Purcell now runs the plant solo.
