No Stretch

Without ON stretching a point
too far, we believe that many Of
the women in this active group
may join five organizations and
not bat an eyelash
Many other organizations de-
pend upon qualifications that 4
stable part Of the group can
match
Not only are Farmvlle men and
women asked to JOIN clubs but
they are asked to volunteer Their
time for a large assortment OF
activities Those not already men
toned include workers for Com

The most remarkable part Of all
is that relative handful of people
belong to all these groups Farm
VILE has a non-college population
OF about 1000 citizens, A half or
two thousand are colored. (Who
probably have the same problem
though we are not dealing with
1t here. OF the remaining TWO
thousand. again about half are
children. leaving 1000 potential
joinerS. OF this group, we'd guess
that 500 do not have any organiz-
ed activity outside their home
life, and of the other five hum
dred, probably another fifty per-
cent belong to only one or two
groups and generally are not very
active That leaves 225 active souls
by our count to take noticeable
part in the towns fifty organiza-
tons Cand that's probably being
optimistic.)
