people whom we might not have | ed much of their point or view, not i only toward the war, but towards problems of domestic economy. By our methods of keeping a list of all the pledge card signatures fol permanent record in the Farm Bureau office, a very complete mailing list has been secured of New London County housewives, which will be invaluable to us for circulars, notices of meet ings, etc.
 Work Made Easier. In short, the very entrance that we had been looking for for the Home Economics work, was obtained through the food conservation campaign and Miss Campbell and Miss Halleck will find their work a very much easier matter because of of thousands of wo- men in New London county are try ing to save food are ready to subsu- tute one kind of food for another, and are asking to follow out the govern ment's directions.
 This is a golden opportunity for our two demonstrators and the way is paved for them to get into constantly closer touch with the homes of the county.
 The war, with its tremendous dyna- mic power, is breaking up the hard ground of old habits, inertia and re. serve which might have made this
 
 country
 In doing the follow-up work which will be necessary to make the food conservation campaign reality they will be laying the foundation for the permanent work that is the main pur- pose of the committee.
 The extension canning campaign which has been carried on all summer will be described in Miss Campbell's report, and ahso the successful com munity canneries which have done a very large bit toward food conserva- ton.
 It became clear as time moved on that Miss Campbell could not cssry voted to avail ourselves of another government appropriation and secure the services of a second worker, Miss Hallock, who will do boys and girls club work and help Miss Campbell through the county.
 Many lines of work have been dis cussed at our committee meetings which we have not had the time to
 We have wanted to do much more with publicity and to have a regular food corner in the county newspapers. with information to housewives on prices, messages from the food admin ist-ation, news of our workers, etc.
 This would need, however. the entire attention of one member of the com mittee. and it did not seem possible to undertake it this summer. It is to be hoped that some way will be found to carry the plan out in the near future.
 We have also talked over ways to bring the producer and the consumer into closer touch, to interest the gro- cers and other food handlers in the conservation movement, and to devise special methods of reaching our for eign population-but all these plans have had to stand aside for the i'm mediately pressing war work.

 We welcome her, and Miss HalIock, who has more recently come among us, as workers in the army of public servants who are trying to make New ment toward a new and finer rural civilization. @'
