Food Supply Essential to Nation and

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. - That a
real and vital war call to service has
been sent out te the women OF the
United States along food conservation
lines is the opinion Of Congressman
Porter II. Dale of the Second Vermont
district. Congressman Dale, speaking of
the food conservation pledge card cam

housewife in the state win sign such
"a card, declared that 3" If loval women
