Complete endorsements of the

to be held April S to II and
recognition of the vital part the
work Of this rural youth organ
iZation plays in the nations
war effort is given by President
Roosevelt in a special message
to the million and a half club
members in the United States.
The more than 5000 members
of All clubs in Montana will
observe the National All Mob
ilization week by placing specia!
emphasis on early reorganiza-
ton of clubs for the years &C

selves to the detectives of All,
and by pledging themselves to
all-out effort in carrying for

tory program, says Ray E.

Montana State college.
The complete text of the
presidents message to All club
members follows:
ITO the All Club Members
Of the United States:
In an hour when our nation
needs the active support of ev-
cry group of its people, it is
gratifying to learn that the All
clubs will hold a national mo-
bilization week, to rally the mil
lion and a half members and
spur them to greater efforts in
the cause of freedom. It is to
be hoped that the National Al
Mobilization week also will
bring more rural young people
into active participation in the
useful work in which All CLUB
members engage.
Your activities in producing,
preserving and preparing food;
in making clothing; and your
other practical experiences in
farming and homemaking have
prepared you for many tasks
important in peacetime and in
dispenaSble in wartime. No 9TH
er group of rural young people
anywhere else in the world has
SO much worth defending, or is
better prepared to help defend
what it has.
Your All club pledge embod-
les the obligation which rests
upon every club member as a
young citizen. Repeat it, study
