ings in the North Carolina Yearly
Meeting (Five Years) and many of
them are planning to send delegates to
the conference, particularly young
farmers.
At the Yearly Meeting which met in
August, a concern was expressed for

the rapidly changing agricultural life
and practice, to talk over the oppor
tunities, privileges, and problems ot
the rural community, to see what can
be done to make rural life more attrac
tive, successful, and richer, and so
strengthen country meetings and com
munities, and to prepare to meet even
greater changes and problems that will
arise when the war ends and the boys
come home again.
The leaders for the conference are:
Stanley Hamilton, Paul Y. Maris, of
the Farm Security Administration,
Washington: L. I>. Baver, Director ot
the North Carolina Agricultural Ex
periment Station, Raleigh; Harold

Like all men in the service, he thinks
of those back home. He writes:
"Almost all of the men I've met and

place little short of heaven itself. I'n
less constantly reminded in letters,

other human failings and see their girl

—would lie wonderful. For in that
wonderful land is everything that a
