Statement" Es, We know Allied Youth and have confidence in its philosophy, its scientific approach to the alcohol problem, its methods of developing character and leadership among young people, and its plans for wholesome recreation. Allied Youth has proved it is capable of handling the task of alcohol education in the high schools through the organization of Allied Youth Posts, through assembly speakers, through its Alcoholfax Educational Service, its magazine, The Allied Youth, and through the literature it distributes. Communities and schools will find valuable help through its message to young people and its acceptable alternatives. This is a preventive educational program. It wins youth's response. It has our complete confidence and the confidence of numerous other educators and leaders in American life. *By Earl James McGrath, U. S. Commissioner of Education, Federal Security Agency, Washington, D. C., to be published in The Allied Youth, November 19, 1951.
