Ruritan National is a civic or
ganization comprised of hundreds
of local Ruritan clubs, with a COM
bined membership of thousands of
Americans who live in farm and
rural communities throughout the
country. It's principal purpose is
to bring a closer social union be-
tween farmers and the business
an. professional men in such COM
munities in the interest of Com
munity Service, Fellowship and
Goodwill. Patterned after the serv-
ice organization of the cities, Rur-
itan National is adapted to the
needs of rural communities and
their people. Founded in Holland,
Va. in 1928, Ruritan now ranks
sixth among the IL leading civic
