conducted by the volun-

The association is not a
stage agency and must
rely on private contri-
butions to carry on its
work on behalf of the
mentally ill and to
promote mental health.
Since one of every six or
seven Americans needs
mental health care at any
given moment, public
support is greatly needed.
The Chianina steers
and heifers entered must
be calved after January 1,

nursing a cow will not be
allowed to show. Heifers
will be shown by age, and
the steers will be shown by
