To Enlist Boys In Farm Work Reserve
Farm for Freedom!
Here 10 the boys chance. the
youths opportunity and the young
mans time to serve the Nation.
Beginning Monday. March Is. and
ending Saturday night March %. an
effort will be made to register and
enlist every male between 16 and 81
ears in Colorado into the boys Work
ing Reserve. This reserve will lie
used during the coming summer to
furnish competent help and aid to
Colorado farmers. ranchers and or
chardists. and to increase Colorado's
production Of all food stuffs.
Food will win the war! That fact
has been pounded home ever since
Uncle Sam entered into this worlds
struggle. 1t 10 as true today ~ 1t
was q year ago. Il will be az true
next year as 1t is now.
The Colorado Council Of Defense.
under Governor Gunter. 10 energeti-
cally interested in this Boys Work
ing Reserve and Joseph 3. JaHa Of
Denver has been namel as Federal
director of the reserve for Colorado.
He was appointed by Secretary Will
son, of the Department OF Labor at
Washington. has been given head
quarters in Room 238, State Capitol
Denver. and is receiving the earnest
support of Governor Gunter's council.
The drive of March 18 is designed
to enroll boys all over the state.
City boys and farm boys. between 16
and 21, will be registered. The farm
ooys will not be taken from their own
farms unless they can be spared. but
through their registration they will
be entitled to wear the bronze badge
of the Working Reserve. The city
boys will be held in reserve to go up
on the farms whenever and wherever
they may be needed. The city boys
and those others lacking experience
in farm work will have the rough
edges of their ignorance smoothed
of through courses of study In the
uses of farm machinery, Harvesting
teams, lectures on farm work, and
country life. These courses will be
arranged for Denver. Coloado
Springs. Pueblo and other cities.
Mr.. Jaffa, through proper commit
tees, will name director for each
county. This man will have charge
of enrolling the boys. Later he will
earn the needs for farm help through
the farm labor chairman of each
county Council Of Defense. He will
then apportion the boys Of his own
county, filling in the gaps with COM
petent boys from the cities and towns.
The main idea at present 10 to get .
complete registration Of the boys in
Colorado who can and will give their
time and vacations to work on the
farms in return for which they will
be fairly remunerated.
