few of them may be selfish and will give their own
stomachs preference the life and comfort of boys
France but dare any person in this town
such a attitude Even they're selfish and unpatrioc
and sympathy with the majority they will keep quiet
And there will not be enough of that class leave meates

view OF the situation and act IN a manner for the public
welfare 1t is necessary to keep business operation to
the maximum the industry we'll all others
and there will be unanimous activity to this end But we
must find way TO get the cooperation of the cafes in
the food pledge campaign
Why not establish mcacss day for all restaurants
that establishment would have advantage over
