100000 SIGNED PLEDGE
TO CONSERVE FOOD
Table by Counties Shows Activities
of Committees Throughout
South Carolina.

Nearly 100000 South Carolinians
are now enrolled as members of the
United States food administration.
This means that the heads of about
100000 families have signed the
pledge to save food in so far as pos
sible. If each member of the food
administration saved one loaf of
! bread a week it would mean 50O.-
900 more loaves released for the
American armies and the allies of
the United States. II each one of
these members saved only slice of
bread a day 1t would mean over
! 100000 loaves. A meatless day a
week would cause a saving of thou
sands of pounds of beef so vitality
needed by the American armies and
the allies.
The machinery of the State coun-
Gil OF defense was used in register
ing the South Carolinians in the food
saving movement. Several thou
sand workers were engaged at the
task nearly month. Complete re-
ports have not yet been received
from all of the counties. The re-
pouts actually received show that
$4,000 homes have pledged their
support to the movement. When all
reports have been received the num-
ber will exceed 100000.

food saving movement in each
