FOR
SAVING OF:
FOODSTUFF
Hammond Food Admins
TRAITOR Receives Commis-
sion From Herbert Hoov-
er and Prepares to Begin
Campaign.

Would you by any act of commission
or omission be responsible for a Ham
mond soldier boy. or any Sammy for
that matter. going hungry in France?
That is the question Frank O'Rourke.
who today received his commission as
Hammond food administrator under
Herbert Hoover is asking the people of
Hammond in an effort to arouse them
to full appreciation of the seriousness
OF the food situation.
Meatless and wheatless days face
the United States unless there is an
immediate general practice of sacrifice
and saving The food conservation
problem is as serious as that OF raising
an army. The Unite9 States is making
preparations for a three year war with
three to five million soldiers in France.
And what will be the condition at the
end of the first year If there is danger
of shortage this fall?
One hundred and twenty Boy Scouts
are enlisted in the aid OF the food ad-
ministrator of Hammond. They have
two things to do at once:
1. Enroll the women of the city on
service cards so the government will
have record.
There is no intention to draft these
NOiiitA III SCI flNF bdl lllG government
wants to know ware it can call upon
volunteers.
The second measure to be taken is to
enroll every boy in the city from four
teen years of age to majority for the
boys working reserve.
The response of the Boy Scouts un-
der their leader. Levi Golden. has been
splendid and indicates they are taking
the situation more seriously than many
of their elders. There is need of men
to act as scoutmasters. There would be
500 scouts in the city instead of 120 if
the men would come forward to lead
them.
Il have no intention of trying to tell
people what they shall eat or how
much" said O'Rourke today, but / ex-
pect first TO call all restaurant
hotel keepers and boarding house
keepers together to have a serious talk
about the serving of veal. mutton and
spring chicken
we need the wool the beef and the
full grown chicken. People should eat
more corn bread. fish and other foods
that there is no scarcity of. We have
to send beef and wheat and wool cloth
ing across to our soldiers in France.
ignoring these facts and continuing
waste may mean that some of the sons
of Hammond people may go hungry in
France"
