(Continued From Page One-) join with the Fairfield county organi- zations as part of the larsser Fair field county com1aittee and has di- rected A. L. Riker, who is a member of the Council for National Defense, to act as the local representative of the national body.
 It. is recognized by the national gov ernment that Fairfield county occu- pied a position of utmost importance in the present national crisis, both by reason of it's locAtion and by reason of it's industrial power There are at the present time in this county many organizations eager to take their part in the national defense but until their owrk is co-ordinated it is impossible to bring about effective action Through co-ordipating the efforts of these bodies, it is proposed to direct and develop to a point of highest pro- ducHyeness every resource in the county. The work of the organization will be civilian and not military
 The government has already learned from the world war that it is upon or ganized industry and agriculture that we must base every plan of military defense and offense. Both govern ental and military authorities recog~ niez clearly that the demands upon the resources of this country will be greater within the next year than they have ever been.in the past. With the failure of the South American wheat crop to reach the world markets and limited production of food stuffs in this country and the European countries, there will be demand for inr, tensive cultivation of every available plot, particularly in the vicinity of the larger industrial cities of the country The mobilization of American industry which Congress Is about to require will necessitate thorough local organiza ion of civilian forces working under direc- ton of and in entire cooperation with state and federal authorities. < { Arrangements for Fridays conference have been completed and resolutions have been received from many county organizations endorsing the plan and delegating representatives to, attend the conference.
