 The possibilities of Boys and Girls Club Work seem 1imitless. Practi- | cally these are, in a given communi- ty, only limited by the number of young people in that place and the 1uIuD6T Ol dNdlidDIo l0dOOTS Ol VI sioI. who are capable, energetic and efficient and who have the sympathe- tic approach to wide awake boys and girls. For men and women who have 1 these qualifications there are won | derful opportunities, right here ln l Greenlee County, for community | service, rich in compensations, even | though these workers are from a money point of view unpaid leaders | People who wish to improve agri cultural and rural home life in this 1 County should awake to the op | portunities which may come to their children through these clubs. It is
 also their responsibility, as we'll as l their privilege to aid in the discovery i and development of earnest. able and efficient local leaders for these or 1 ganizations.
