You can't be there yet, of course,
but there is a place for a boy who
wants to help our country, place
where he can show the stuff he is
made of as well as he could over in
France.
There is a new opportunity for
boys who want to do their share to-
ward winning the war. It is called
the Victory Boys. Its motto is, "A
million boys behind a million
fighters"
The organizations for which the
Victory Boys are working provide
the soldier with his movie theatre,
his church, his club, his store where
he buys the little everyday things
he needs. When he is hungry, they

waiting determinedly for a speech
