President's Message
To the 4-H Club Members of
the United States:
In an hour when our nation
needs the active support of every
group of its people, it is gratify
ing to learn that the 4-H clubs
w’ill hold a National Mobilization
Week, to rally the million and a
i half members and spur them to
greater efforts in the cause of
freedom. It is to be hoped that
the National 4-H Mobilization
Week participation in the useful
work in which 4-H club members
engage.
Your activities in producing,
preserving, and preparing food;
in making clothing; and your
other practical experiences in
farming and homemaking have
prepared you for many tasks im
portant in peacetime and indis
pensable in wartime. No other
group of rural young people any-
I where else in the world has so
I much worth defending, or isbet
! ter prepared to help defend what
|it has.
Your 4-H club pledge embodies
! the obligation which rests upon
i every club member as a young
•citizen. Repeat it, study it, make
it part of your being. Let your
'head, heart, hands, and health
i truly be dedicated to your coun
try, which needs them now as
j never before.

4-H MOBILIZATION
Houston county farm boys and
girls are joining in the food-for
victory drive by observing 4-H
Mobilization Week, ending April
11, according to County Agent
W. T. Middlebrooks.
The county agent pointed out
' that the primary purpose of the
4-H mobilization is to help win
the war by enrolling more rural
young people to produce an
, abundant supply of food and
feed, especially milk, eggs, pork,
, and vegetables.
‘‘Moreover, most farm boys
! and girls are in an excellent po
sition to help produce food-for
victory”, Mr, Middlebrooks ex
plained, .‘‘because they have
available the necessary land and
equipment to grow food at home
! under the guidance of their pat
! ents and the supervision of the
county and home demonstration
agents.
‘‘Already more than 87,000
Georgia boys and girls are mem
, hers of 4-H clubs, and are being
! trained in the best methods of
food produstion and conserva
tion,” he explained.
‘‘ln addition to the regular
, projects by members, special at
tention will be given to extra ef
forts called ‘Jobs for Victory’.
This extra 4-H work may be an
additional pig fed or a garden
by older 4 H members; or the
taking over of egg gathering and
assisting with housework by
younger members as a means of
releasing older family members
for production effort.”
Sunday, April 12, will climax
1 the 4-H mobilization week. This
special day is being observed as
• 4-H Sunday throughout the state,
’ according to W. A. Sutton, Jr.,
1 state 4 H leader for the Agricul
-1 tural Extension Service. He said
! many rural churches have plann
ed special programs for the par
- ticular day, the theme being
1 “Moral Responsibilities and Na
• tional Unity.”
> Last year Georgia 4-H mem
bers produced farm products
valued at more than $3,000,000.
i These members carried over
’ 375,000 farm and home projects.

DRIVE Fflli NAVY RELIEF FUND
One slogan that is more or less
familiar, that is bound up with
the traditions of the Navy and
the Marine Corps is “The Navy
Cares For Its Own.” In many
years past when a Sailor died
on American Warship it was cus
• tomary for his shipmates to pass
the hat and send the collection to
1 his family. As the Navy has
1 grown this haphazard way of
giving gave way to the Navy Re
lief Society, which is an organi
zation composed of Navy men
and their wives, and functioning
solely for the purpose of caring
for the families of Navy men
; who are in need of help. It was
organized in 1904 with its first
funds a gift of s9,ooo—half the
proceeds of an Army Navy foot
; ball game, and supported entire
ly by contributions from Naval
officers and enlisted men. The
Navy would like to keep up this
1 tradition of caring for its own,
1 but the disaster at Pearl Harbor
1 of December took a greater toll
of its men than the entire Span
ish American and World Wars
combined. Besides the needs of
1 the present war have greatly ex
panded the Navy and Marine
Corps personnel, and the Coast
Guard has been taken into the
1 Navy, so the demands on the
Navy Relief Society have grown
s by leaps and bounds.
Where a normal budget of
! $200,000 has cared for the de
-1 mands of the society, Pearl Har
bor alone called for ,an expendi
-1 ture of $50,000 over night. This
has made it imperative that they
; appeal for the first time for pub
lic help. Surely those of us at
home can not let them down.
When Navy men are at sea
• there are emergencies that come
up in their families that have to
be met. Their salaries are never
large, and sudden illness, trans
-1 fers, and the problems that have
to be met in a hurry must he
: somehow cared for. When a
. ship goes down at sea its records
and payroll go down with it.
' It takes time to establish and get
1 into force pensions for those en
titled to them. That is where
the Navy Relief Society steps in.
1 It takes care of the immediate
; need until the emergency can be
taken care of. When the ships
docked in San Francisco, bring
ing the families evacuated from
i Pearl Harbor it was the Navy
Relief Society that arranged
transportation for them to their
; homes and cooperating with the
■ Red Cross cared for them until
i they could be carried home.
During the month of April a
i nation wide drive is under way
to raise $5,000,000 for the Navy
• Relief Society. Houston county
, has never failed to do its sha^e
jin meeting every call for help
that is sent. Surely we can do
no less than respond to the call
. for help for the families of the
> men who are forming America’s
first line of defense. Let’s re
member Pearl Harbor with a
flood of dollars and show our
[ Navy that the folks at home are
.jbehind them 100%. To boost
i! morale it will help fur the men
. lat sea to know that their loved
Bones will be cared for even if
i j they fail to return from the
I voyage.
. Wendell Whipple has been ap
. I pointed chairman of the drive in
; I Houston county. Next week
• the organization of committees
• for the drive will be announced.
(The actual drive will get under
i way the week of April 20.

Poor Sleep Neurotic Sign
Poor sleep does not cause a neu
rotic condition, Dr. Donal A. Laird,
author, declares. On the contrary,
poor sleep is usually a sign of a
neurotic condition. It is not the sleep
that needs treatment, but the neu
rotic condition which causes it.
Shoes Go Military
Women’s shoe styles are going
military. Most of the 40,000 shoes
an exhibit at the annual convention
ol the Middle Atlantic shoe retailers
in Philadelphia showed a distinct
military influence, and stylists say
the trend will be around for a while.
H. C. Johnson, representative of Be
loit (Wis.) manufacturer, declared
that the predominance of tan col
ors with brass buckles and straps
would be in effect for the next three
years.
Good Wall Finish
A good wall finish to use in an
attic that is being made over into a
■ bedroom is the use of a fiberboard
insulating material for this purpose.
It will make the room more com
fortable as it will be insulated
against heat and cold, and it will
also make an attractive finish as it
can be used in its natural color and
is available In pastel shades that
will form harmonious backgrounds
for any type of interior decoration.
It can be used on walls and ceilings*
