PHOENIX, Dec. 13.-The addition
of another meatless day to the weeks
schedule, the Inauguration of bacon
less breakfasts and the use of less
sugar and animal fats are called for
in a revised conservation program
which Timothy A. Riordan as Fed
eral Food Administrator for Arizona
is asked to make effective in this
state, according to an announcement
made today.
The food situation has reached
point where it has become tragically
serious, it is pointed out by the food
administration and hunger may i'm
peril a conclusive victory for the
allied armies if the American peO-
pie do not exert their utmost effort
at this time, and it is for this reason
that steps have been taken to make
more thoroughly effective than ever
before the family enrolment plan,
through which already 10000 sigma
lures to pledge cards have been OBJ
tained in this state.
Two objects sought are: First the
increasing of the Arizona membership
in the food administration to 40,-
600, and second the carrying out in
every home, by every citizen, by
every hotel, restaurant, boarding
house and lunchstand keeper in the
state of the revised food program
which calls for the following:
1. Meatless Tuesday.
2. Meatless Friday.
g. Baconless breakfast every day.
f. Wheatless Wednesday.
5. One wheatless meal each day.
6. The use of less sugar.
7. The use of less animal fats.
The pledge card campaign organ
ization, headed by Warren Macarthur,
Jr., of Phoenix, has been made per-
manent for the purpose of carrying
on this work and one of its earliest
duties will be to attend to the distri-
button of supplemental instruction
cards in every home and Of primary
instruction and additional home win
dow cards to the 10000 new mem
bers of the food administration
( which it is hoped to secure in the i'm
| mediate future.
Every county manager and all
county and precinct workers who
aided in the initial campaign are ex
| pected to take up their work where
| they left off to make the new cam
| paign vitally effective.
New inspiration to the workers is
contained in Mr.. Hoover's letter,
which reads as follows:
Dear Mr.. Riordan:
''Now that the recent family en-
rollment campaign is practically
completed with result far exceeding
| my expectations, / wish to extend
|
to you and through you to the many
workers in your state my personal
| appreciation of the spirit with which
the campaign was waged.
with the home and membership
cards now hanging in we'll over 10,-
| 900 homes, foundation for food
conservation has been LAID which
should prove of great influence in
the final result of the war. The
work already done so successfully
should be an inspiration for the fur
| ther spreading of the gospel of food
| conservation, and I trust that
through you the people of your state
will be brought to more complete
realization of the necessity for con-
servatiOn even to the extent of per-
sOnal sacrifice.
| With renewed thanks for the
work which you and your loyal as
sistants performed in the recent cam
paign, and with hopes that this work
will be continued for the duration OF
the war, with ever increasing eff :
cheney and enthusiasm, | am
Faithfully yours,
