lWhy.(!!) They should take advafl-

| in the past and will continue to be
taxpayers who support programs
of this type.
The All Development Fund is a
small but much needed supplement-.
This country stands to profit a
great deal from the All move
ment. 1t has been said, by many,
that we need people to put more
capital into circulation, and we
need home people supporting home

But God has been kind. He has
given us the richest farm land
much timber land, the lake, the
sound, historical Ocracoke, with its
yacht marina, beaches, grape vines
fig bushes and wild growing shrubs
which our city Cousins pay dearly
for. Just picture the beautiful
roses that could be produced on its
soil for export. Yes, we have much
At the present, we have waste land
too. But above all we have proud

here to be developed. Many
places (India, for example) has

Our youth must be trained care
fully to appreciate our resources
and gain insight so that they one
day will have pickle plants, can
neries, meat producers and packers,
freezer plants, handicraft shops,
(think how much old weeds, cotton
and pine burrs sell for when pro-
perly dried and packaged, or the
usefulness of corn shucks when made
into beach sandals, dolls or hand
bags.) And many, many others
which call for organized transper-
tation lines.
So you see, we must never stop
in our effort to serve youth. For,
in serving our young people, seeing
them develop in character and tai
ent, knowing that they are intelli-
gent and responsible citizens we
are indeed serving not only our
selves but our nation and the world.
We must have volunteer leaders,
parents, who stimulate the efforts
of their children, business men,
civic leaders and friends of All
working hand in hand if we are to
build a better All program.
We must renew our efforts, in
crease our cooperation and expand
our vision of what All can accom-
pitch with our rural youth and what
our youth can achieve throgh All
programs and activities.
This is the challenge: it merits
your support.
All members say a pledge to
their health, hearts, hands and
Heads - Can we afford the waste
of talent which impoverishes us
all when our youth fail to develop
their abilities, knowledge, and skills
to the highest level of their capaci-
| ty. We must see that our young
people go to college. Hearts - our
complex world needs hearts filled
with understanding for others. In
ternational understanding must
ultimately rely on hearts of men
filled with peace and impressed
with the necessity for international
cooperation and tolerance. Hands
- The fields of agriculture and the
laboratories of H. E. are open wide
for young people trained in these
areas. Their need is our need, for
the lack of skilled workers in these
areas will result in weakening our
civilization. Health - Sound minds
in sound bodies with sound under
standing of the problems of our day
are of increasing importance to us
all. Our future lies in our youth.
Their future is in our hands. Can
we now fail to be of great SER
vice?
You have the opportunity to
meet this challenge to support
these programs, to develop the
greatest of our natural resources -
youth. We must Recognize these
needs and decide that the lime has
come for action; for, we desperate
ly need your support morally and
financially if the All club program
or the All Development Fund is
a success.
We urge you to support All
functions. To see that your children
and friends support them. Then
