ABSTRACT
“This agrarian youth organization […] started from an almost nondescript beginning, with meager resources, with just the magic and the flame of the idea. […] Its inception and its success must surely be counted as a miracle. Before the country could sit up and take notice, it had begun and grown. It grew out of its first breeches by the week, and new ones had to be tailored. Its spread was so rapid, that one could barely keep up with and note its stages. Only those who have seen the first groups of peasant boys, under the flying flags and emblems, as they started to march and multiply […] only they can know what KALOT meant.” 1
