WOMEN ARE T0 A|D WOMEN IN
 CONSERVATION
(By Mrs. Thomas E. Campbell)


 The Woman's Auxiliary of the Ari- zona Council of Defense is endeavoring to interest. and further educate along economic lines the woman in the home. Organization is necessary to plan the attack against wastefulness in the household, but the ultimate result hoped for and anticipated is that the American woman, and particularly the woman of Maricopa county, unherald- { ed, in the privacy of her own kitchen may be sufficiently awakened to the appalling situation which is bound to face the United States within the next year. to enthusiastically do her bit in the consideration of foodstuffs. The auxiliary will attempt to reach the housekeeper through two mediums that of personal contact and through publicity. Beginning next week the Saturday issue of the Arizona Gazette and the Sunday issue of The Arizona
 Republican will carry regular space in which may be found matters pertaining to household economies, and partlcu- | larly to the conservation of the various fruits and vegetables as they reach | their maturity.
 A letter has been sent to the chair man of all the women's organizations in the county in the hope of obtaining their cooperation in this work, and 1t ! is earnestly desired that the women of this county may be organized to con- serve in some manner the enormous amount. of fruits and vegetables which heretofore have been completely
 wasted
 The executive committee of the aux
 Hilary is composed of Mrs. J. $. Stark,
 secretary; Mrs. Charles H. Schulz chairman clearing house committed; l Mrs. Frank H. Parker, chairman trans portation committee; Mrs. H. A. Guild, chairman meetings and program com 1 mittee and Mrs T. E. Campbell, chair 1 man publicity committee. These chair
 men will be assisted directly by those appointed to the various committees, 1 but they invite the active assistance or any women of the county who will vol
 unteer their services. It is hoped 1 through the clearing house committee | to keep in touch with the farmers sur i plus and the desire of the housekeeper to utilize the surplus. The transport'- | tion committee will plan to get the l produce from the producer to the con- sumer. Through the publicity depart
 ment notices will be furnished regard l ing the whereabouts of surplus fruits
 and vegetables.
 i The committee wishes it distinctly
 understood that the markets are not to | be affected. The concern is only in re- gard to the surplus which every year
 is wantonly wasted.
 Already there is a good crop of string
 beans upon us. A recipe furnished by | Professor Clarke of the University of
 Arizona will be found just beneath this
 article. If every householder will do the work that is at hand now and from
 time to time, the surplus will be greatly diminished. A patriotic plea is put
 forth that the women of Maricopa
 county will not allow to perish that
 food material which will mean so much
 to the sons, brothers and husbands
 who will be called away for our protec-
 tion.
