CRUISE Printer and Manager Journalism Instructor REPORTERS—Joe Hayward. Stanley Williams, Marjorie Skahan, Margaret Skahan, Lena Davis E d ito ria l Are you in favor of organizing an All-Indian Youth Organization? It may be well to think about it, for the coming Indian Youth Conference to be held here February 17 to 21, inclusive, will have sessions especially to discuss such an or ganization. This organization will be similar to the Future Farmers of America and the 4-H Club. The purpose of those attending the conference will be to discuss and correct the problems of agriculture, farm and home mechanics, home making, and to consider the development of an All-Indian Youth Organization for rural young people. Such an organization could offer much toward bettering rural life; it could provide en tertainment, and recreational activities, and de velop leadership. Rural Youth Organizations such as the 4-H Club, Girls Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Future Farmers of America are fine examples Of clubs for rural young people. At the conference to be held in February, the Indian delegates are to discuss the advantages and purposes of having an All-Indian Youth or ganization, and to decide whether or not such a club should be started.—S tanley W illiams W hat can you do for Chemawa during the year 1941?
