Going our way? Be a Victory Farm Volunteer
Colour photograph of a smiling freckled boy with a pitchfork over his shoulder and a smiling girl behind him, on a blue ground under the headline 'Going our way?'. The line invites young people to join the U.S. Crop Corps as farm volunteers. The ordinary, cheerful teenagers are the plain-folks device; the question is a mild bandwagon invitation.
