High School Boys
To Aid Farmers
In Montgomery
Expect One Hundred And
Twenty-Five City Youths
To Assist In Seasonal
Work. Will Start June Fl

Approximately one-hundred and
twenty-five city high-school boys
are expected to assist Montgomery
County farmers in seasonal farm
work, o. w. Anderson, County
farm Agent, made known today.
Ninety-six of the boys corralled
from the District of Columbia and
metropolitan Montgomery County,
received preliminary training on
farms last Saturday and will be
ready for active farm work June
81.
According to Mr.. Anderson, the
plan is now and was first consid-
cred by the labor committee of the
Montgomery County Agriculture
War Board. That Board consists
of: Basil Mobley, G. Rust Candy,
James D. King, William H. Ward,
j. w. Jones, w. lawson King,
Robert H. Miller, Jr., Thomas C..
Darby, o. w. Anderson, w. W.
Hodges, Mrs. Mae Howard and
DR.. Edwin w. Broome.
In a statement this morning
concerning the proposed project,
Mr.. Anderson said:
"Under a plan organized by the
Farm Labor Committee of the
Montgomery County Agriculture
War Board, approximately 125
Washington and lower Montgom-
cry County high school boys have
been recruited for harvest work on
County farms. The task of re-
cruiting the boys and * ablishing
camps was assigned to Mrs. Mae
Howard, manager Of the Employ
ment office in Silver Spring, who
by an able Board of assistance, has
done an excellent job and has met
the goal of recruiting $50 such
boys. Ninety-six boys reported for
training last Saturday and the en-
tire group will be on hand the next
2 Saturdays. By this time, we will
be ready to weed out boys that
seem unable or unwilling to per-
form the duties of farm work
which should leave approximately
125 boys to be devided up into 4
camps to be established in the
schools at Gaithersburg, Sandy
Spring, Poolesville, and Damascus,
and which will open on Sunday,
June FL.
"The Farm Labor Committee, in
planning the project, has in mind
assistance in connection with the
harvest of various crops and farm
ers who wish the service of the
boys should contact the supervisor
of the camp before hand. On the
days that the boys are engaged, a
bus will deliver them to the farm
at whatever hour their services are
to begin and call for them after the
days work is over, the farmers
only obligations being to pay the
boys 25c per hour plus the noon
day meal. Should whether delay
the work, an adjustment in the
schedule will be made accordingly.
"With few exceptions, the SO
boys who reported for duty last
Saturday were strong, able-bodied,
and willing individuals who seemed
interested and anxious to begin
work; however, it should be borne
in mind that they are not men and
can not render the service that
farmers would like to have. On
the other hand, it is the belief with
those connected with the program
that by judicious use of the group,
no farmer need lose a crop for the
lack of labor"

Uncle Sam did the job too well.
Too well because the Japs will
now seek shelter in port or
friendly and well guarded
waters and will not soon again
offer to exchange blows out in
the open. A few occasions like
Midway and Japan's supply
lines to the many outposts she
must maintain will be not only
threatened but will probably
be cut.
Too much praise cannot be
bestowed on the efficiency and
effectiveness of our co-ordinated
effort around Midway. Of the
many military secrets probably
the most important is lack of
information regarding disposition
of the U. S. Navy. We don't
know, nor do we want to know,
whether it is all in the Pacific
of whether a substantial part
remains in the Atlantic. All
that we want to know is that
our Navy is at the right spot
at the right time with plenty of
ammunition. That there is
substantial part of our Navy
in the Pacific is information we
get through Japan. Admiral
Toga thinks we have all of it
as well as a good part Of the
British Navy there.

confusion regarding the Battle

Fear was expressed
that what was being played up

There is not that confidence in

in our communiques needs to be
increased. Such confidence can
develop only through consist

Washington to give to the pub

not take long to create such

Scoring what he described as the
"hysterically defensive attitude" of
Axis propagandists toward the
meeting of the International Stu
dent Assembly to which he spoke
here, Mr.. Roosevelt said "the world
knows that the Nazis, the Fascists,
and the militaristS of Japan have
nothing to offer to youth-except
death"
CAUSE OF YOUTH
"On the other hand" he added.
"the cause of the United Nations
is the cause of youth itself. 1t Is
the hope of the new generation
and the generations that are to
come-hope for a new life that can
be lived in freedom, and justice, and
decency."
Mr.. Roosevelt promised that in
building the postwar world, the
leaders of the United Nations will
profit by their past mistakes.
This time we shall know how
to make full use of victory" he
said.
This time the achievements of
our fighting forces will not be
thrown away by political cynicism
and timidity and incompetence.
The President was bitterly criti-
cal of "a handful of men and wom-
en-, in the United States and else
where" whom he said still mock
and sneer at the four freedoms and
the Atlantic Charter"
Although these people are few in
number, the President said some
of them have the financial power
to give our enemies the false i'm
preston that they have a large fol-
lowing among our citizenry."
PLAY PETTY POLITICS
They play petty politics in a
world crisis" he said They fiddle
with many sour notes while civil
ization burns. These puny prophets
decry our determination to imple-
