20 FULTON'HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK Tl1e Junior Red Cross has been the recipient of several gifts of yarn and other materials and of twenty comfort bags presented by the 1909 Shakespeare Class and the T. A. E. Club. Each bag contains soap, washcloth, talcum, needles, pins, thread and thimble and a bag accompanies each layette. The children, while doing for others and learning a great practical lesson in patriotism, are becoming more capable and efficient needle-women, and the boys are aiding in every way possible. Truly it may be said that all are learn- ing to do by doing. A T-F. H. S.-- A message by President Wilson: Patriotic boys, girls, men and women of Fulton will you help win the war? Every family must help feed itself. Fresh vegetables must be used to lessen home consumption of staple foods needed by troops and Allies-and there are still other necessities besides these. The people of this country must provide with UNITED STATES adequate food supplies for the future--for next winter. SCHOOL GARDENS Each individual citizen must try to grow as large a por- tion of his future food supply as he can, in order to ease transportation problems, or in other words. to lighten the task of hauling to him for long distances cars full of food. And every group and association of citizens must do the same. It is because so many people last Summer took up gardening in this spirit that there were enough vegetables available the past winter to tide the country over during the periods of transportation conges- tion. The duty of all citizens is this: Raise vegetables to provide food for your- selves. And this applies to every one who owns or can get access to land which may be cultivated. - ' We all have been having the opportunity to serve by not doing certain things, by avoiding waste, and refraining from extensive use of wheat, fats, and other kinds of food. But added to it now comes the chance to do some- thing to grow a garden full of vegetables, each one of which will help win the war. These are the days when you should say over and over to yourselves, not only about gardens but about everything else: Is this thing that I am about to do going to help my country in winning the war? That is the ques- tion which not only you, but every man, woman, and child in the whole nation ought to ask himself. The pupils of Fulton Public Schools have responded to the Call to the Garden with eleven hundred and sixty-three volunteers. For the first time i11 the history of the world has a government turned to'its school children and asked them to mobilize for war against an enemy. The U. S. S. G. army is the largest army in the Whole world. It has five million volunteers who are will- ing to do a small part toward winning this War. Fulton has every reason to be proud of its youthful citizens. They have responded to the call in larger numbers than in the majority of cities of the United States. Five hundred of the Fulton gardens contain four hundred or more square feet. These have been planted carefully and are being well cared for. The pupils of Fulton Public' Schools deserve encouragement and praise for their splendid patriotic work.
