State 4-H Clubs Will Mobilize For Victory Rural boys and girls of North Carolina will be given an opportun ity to contribute to Victory by join ing a 4-H Club during "4-H Mobiliz ation Week" April 5-12. There are 450.000 firm youths in the State be tween the ages of 10 and 20, and lead ers of the State College Extension Service which conducts the 4-H pro gram. are hoping that most of these young people will join a lojal club of "the largest organization of rural youth in the world.' There tfre no membership dues in a 4-H club, it is pointed out by L. R. Harrill and Miss Frances MacGregor, the State 4-H Club leaders. Already some 60,000 North Carolina farm boys and girls are 4-H members. There are a million and a half 4-H members in the Nation. "A definite program which will give every rural youth a job to do in the Victory campaign has already been worked out," Harrill explain ed. "The 4-H members will grow gardens, poultry, dairy and beef cat girls will prepare and serve whole some meals, make and repair their clothing, can jars of fruits, vegeta bles and meats, and help with the homework." Harrill also explained that 4-H members can contribute to the Vic tory of the United Nations by mak ing a house-to-house community survey for the collection and dis posal of salvage material, such as iron, steel, rubber, rags and paper. From the money they receive for this material, they can buy Defense Stamps and Bonds. "If you are not a 4-H Club mem ber," Harrill said to farm youths, then contact your county farm or home agent during the week of April 5-12 and enroll in a local club. Ev ery member joining during Mobiliza tion Week will receive an attract ive Victory Pin. Each boy and girl will be allowed to select the project he or she washes to conduct to help win the war." The Mobilization Week will end on April 12th with the observance of 4-H Church Sunday in all rural churches.
