Mr.. l.. r. Harrill, State Al
Club Leader in North Carolina
has this to say about our theme
for the week which is Keep
North Carolina Beautiful"
AS one travels from the sand
washed shores of the Atlantic
to the Hottest peaks in Western
North Carolina and observes the
natural beauty of our State, there
comes the thought that the writer
and composer of america, the
Beautiful" must have passed this
way. Surely, no one can find
within the bounds of any state
as much natural beauty as can
be found within the boundaries
of North Carolina. 1t is only
natural, therefore, that in look
ing for specific project to para
mount during the observance of
National III Club Week, March
through s, that Keep North
: Carolina Beautiful" should be Sc
lected by North Carolina All
Club members.
During National All Club
Week, All Club boys and girls
throughout the state will con-
centrate on the things they can
do TO make and to keep our
state beautiful. In Al meetings
and civic meetings they will tell
others how they will participate
in this program. Through dem
constructions and window displays
they will bring to the attention
of the general public the i'm
portance of keeping our state
clean and beautiful and at tho
same time demonstrate ways N
which this can be done.
Also during their observance Of
National al Club Week. North
! Carolina club members vii
point to the achievements Of Al
Club members in the state ant
in so doing will pay tribute t.
the parents of Al Club mem

The III Club provides oppo--
tunitics for some 5000 farm
