FOOD DRIVE
MEETS SUCCESS

More than 100 patriotic women are
giving their time to Uncle Sam to-day
IN bringing local housewives into fine
with the great nationwide movement
to conserve Americas food supply.
Bright and early this morning the dis
trict leaders and their lieutenants be-
gan a. canvass Of the city for signers
Of the food pledge cards, and by to-
morrow evening 1t Il expected that
thousands OF women will have mailed
their cards to the local federal food
administrator.
A ncticeable feature Of the local
drive is that many housewives are
signing cards who had not signed
them when q campaign was started
some time ago. In this instance the
cards were mailed direct to the food
administration in Washington. Re
ports from the leaders Of the food
commission office, where Mrs. A. q.
Alexander. chairman. and other mem
bers Of the wpman's committee are
busy dealing out equipment, show
that the housewives are signing cards
by the hundreds. and It was announc-
ed this afternoon. that the success Of
the local drive II now assured.
A delegation Of Japanese women,
led by Miss Tanaka and Mrs. Mural,
wife of the Japanese eleye c0nsul, are
cansassing the Nipponese homes. The
first reports OF the campaign are en-
pected to drift IN late this afternoon.
and BY tomorrow morning the wo-
mans committee expects to have
complete account OF the results Of the
first days work.
