ity might be released from our de-
mands and be available for some place
that cannot raise it's own. He urged
that garden clubs be formed and sug-
gested that these consist of father and
son, and that canning clubs be formed
IN the same way-each mother and
daughter forming a club of their own.
The unusual conditions might also
be met, the speaker said, by each
family making in the home those gar
ments that for the past ten years have
been made in factories, in this way
releasing many industrial workers for
service in the army. Conservation
may also be practiced in the home by
the thoughtful mother, who will teach
her daughter to mend and care for
the garments already on hand.
Prof. Johns had the attentive inter-
est of the audience from beginning to
the end of his falkland there was no
one present who did not feel at its
close that they had broader realiza-
ton of the conditions through which
we are living.

Opportunities of Service for Moth
ers and Children" and in most in
teresting and impressive manner
brought to his hearers the wonderful
opportunities that are open to each
one of us at this crisis in the life of
our beloved nation. He urged US, as
