Maryland Al
Clubs Plan For
Mobilization Week
Special Programs To In
form General Public OF
Club Work With Youth

Members Of All clubs through
out Maryland are making plans for
observing National All Club Mo-
bilization Week on March A to ~,
according to Mylo S. Downey, act
ing State boys club leader.
Montgomery County 4-H'ers have
done a wonderful job in 1943 rails
ing 1876 dairy animals, 1875 sheep,
100 rabbits, % acres of truck crops
and each member having a home
garden. They produced $500 lbs.
'of pork and beef, 5000 lbs. poultry
meats, as well as raising 5000 lay
ers, caring for 200 head Of swine
and 10 head Of beef cattle for
breeding. Thru their own projects
they have been able to produce
enough food to feed 467 Fighters"
in the armed forces. 1t is the ulti-
mate goal in 1914 for each All
Club member to produce enough
food from his project to "Feed a
Fighter" in our armed forces.
In addition to the food produced
they aided in the war effort by
purchasing $4,000 worth or War
Bonds and Stamps and collected SO
tons Of scrap metal, paper and rub
Der.
Mr.. Downey says that All clubs
will make special effort during that
week TO inform the general pub
lie regarding their activities and
achievements, and will make plans
for busy year in 1914. There will
be community and county meet
ings, radio programs and exhibits.
One of the goals of All club MEM
bers is for each to produce at least
food for one man in the armed
services. Other detectives will be
set by the groups and individuals
with view to going "all out" for
food production through their
livestock, dairy, poultry and gar
dening projects. The girls will give
specia! attention to conservation
and preservation of food, and with
the shortage of manpower will
have a greater part in production
than in former years.
In proclaiming National All Club
Mobilization Week, President
Roosevelt said:
"Today our country relies on the
determination and courage Of it's
youth to see US through to victory.
In the years to follow we shall
look likewise to our youth for
leadership IN building a world Of
peace. Through All Club work you
have demonstrated that you are a
powerful influence in this direction.
81 trust that rural boys and
girls everywhere will respond TO
the roll call Of All Mobilization
Week, March 4 to IL. For this year
more than ever members Of the All
clubs will be among the shock
troops Of the food production front
TO give that extra impetus to the
war effort so essential to ultimate
victory"
Particular attention will be
given to enrolling Maryland boys
and girls who have not partici-
pated in All club work in former
years.

Senator Willard E. Tydings held
his audience spellbound for an hour
Tuesday night as he spoke to about

of the Montgomery County Farm
Bureau in the Gaithersburg School
Auditorium.
Senator Tydings stressed the i'm
portance Of the postwar problems

the huge national debt at the end of

have accumulated a tremendous
war stock pile of goods that must
be carefully distributed into chan
nels of trade. Senator Tydings
stated that the Pentagon Building
in Arlington might possibly be used
as Veterans Hospital after the
war. He stressed the modification
of the recent order by Mr.. Her
shey, Director of Selective Service,
in regard to induction of agricul-
tural workers into the armed
forces, also the Importance of high
er taxes to take care Of our mount
ing national debt. The meeting
was conducted by James D. King,
president.
A new set Of bylaws for the
Montgomery County Farm Bureau

mously.

change in the present draft regu-
lations affecting farm workers,
asserting that it would be impos-
sible to meet the agricultural goal
if there is a change.
The farm subsidy bill was also
opposed and the association went
on record as opposing the match

out of the war during 1943. Her
home front cannot help but be
pretty badly shattered. She en-
tered the war with nothing but
great victories behind and ahead.
Hitler had succeeded in selling
the German public on the idea
that they were superior race
and could not be halted in their
campaign for world domination.
For year and nine months she
pressed steadily forward. And
then she struck Russia with
whom she had made friendly
pact.
Early and complete victory and
German dominated peace was
the promise during the first year,
the second year and the third
year. We are now in the fourth
year and the German people can
see nothing except further self
dsnials, sacrifices, restrictions.
