Show BOYS WORK LEAGUE FOR MILFORD So that none may he overlooked In the national movement to end the war with all possible dispatch, the United States Government officials are now organizing throughout the country a Boys' Work League consisting con-sisting of a Senior League for those boys between the ages of 16 and 21 and a Junior League for the boys from 12 to 15 years of age. Any boy in the country is eligible to Join this organization for the promotion pro-motion of our national welfare. All that Is required is that the youth pledge himself to do at least six weeks of productive labor during the summer. This work may be of either eith-er an agricultural or an industrial nature. After completing a certain cer-tain amount of work the boy is awarded a medal showing that he has fulfilled his agreement in the National Boys' Work League. It remains optional with the boy as to whether he work for himself or his family around his own home, whether he work for some one else as an individual, or whether he join one of the government camps for doing farm labor. This work, in the State of Utah, Is being supervised by Coach Watson of the Utah Agricultural College, and promises to be one of the big factors in the successful manipulation manipula-tion of the farm labor problem for the coming year. Already a large number of the high school students have signed the cards, swearing their allegiance to the United States and their intention to help win the war by being productive produc-tive during the coming vacation rather than idle, and it Is expected that the rest will denote their Intention Inten-tion to be useful to Uncle Sam before be-fore many days. |
