FOOD SAVING DRIVE
Resolutions and Letters Of
Endorsement Coming In
Great Numbers

Resolutions and letters of unqualified
endorsement continue TO come in to
the Marion County Food Administra-
ton Committee from fraternal, social,
patriotic and other organizations Of
Salem who have been asked for volun-
teer workers to assist in the final
canvass of the ''Service by Substitu-
ton" food campaign, the wind-up of
which is scheduled for the week Of
October 28 to November A.
All of them emit the clear and I'M
~mistakable ring of patriotic enthusiasm
but those which display the most in
tense sincerity, backed by experience
and the actual knowledge of the I'm.
portance of the food element as an in
dispensable asset in the carrying on
of a great war, come from the patriotic
organizations such as the G.. A. R.,
United Spanish War Veterans, Mexican
Service and kindred orders. Sedgwick
Post No. 10, G. A. R., sent in an inspir-
ing letter of endorsement last week and
last night, Hal Hibbard Camp No. s.,
United Spanish War Veterans and
Ladies Auxiliary Hal Hubbard No. 4,
United Spanish War Veterans adopted
joint resolutions unqualifiedly endors-
ing the food substitution movement and
pledging active support and assistance
in furtherance of the cause.
Each of these organizations, on ac-
count of the limited membership, sends
in a list of five volunteer workers for
the cleanup week campaign offering
their services for one or two days, as
the circumstances require, as follows:

The full text of the resolution, I'M
animously adopted, follows:
Whereas, due to the unkindness of
nature through its various vagaries and
other causes, a serious shortage of the
worlds foods is imminent, if immediate
steps are not taken to conserve the
supply in order that it may be equit-
ably and humanely distributed among
the peoples of the earth, and especially
in the maintenance of our armies in
Europe, fighting for the cause of lib
erty and democracy; and,
Whereas; the National Food Admin
istration, under the dictatorship of
Herbert Hoover, has undertaken to
educate and organize the people of the
United States to a policy of food sub
stitution; that is, the substitution of
the more plentiful, though equally
nourishing and more perishable food
products for the better keeping and
shipping qualities of concentrated
foods, such as meats, dairy prodNcts,
wheat and sugar for export to our sol
diers in the trenches and the hunger
suffering women and children of the
allied armies; and,
Whereas, it is the patriotic and loyal
duty of every man, and child in
the United States to lend every aid and
support to any movement which has for
its purpose the maintenance of our
armies and the bringing of the world
wal for democracy to a speedy and
successful conclusion; therefore, be it
Resolved: By Hal Hubbard Camp No.
5, United Spanish War Veterans, and
Ladies Auxiliary No. 4, U. S. W. ",
that we pot only endorse the campaign
of the United States Food Administra-
Nn in the enlistment of every family
in Marion county and Oregon in Hoov-
er's Service by Substitution Army and
pledge ourselves to live up to the regu-
lations outlined in pursuance Of the
objects of such food conservation cam
paign, but to exercise our best influ-
ences and energies to educate and in
duce others to enlist in said cause,
which has for its purpose the winning
of the war for democracy.
