The meeting was one Of discussion
and debate upon the whole question
Of food conservation The purpose Ct
the gathering was the attempt to get
all interested In the problem as Il az
fects Maui and to thoroughly under.
stand all phases which have come up
in the presentation Of the question OF
saving certain foods.
It developed that some of the most
important reasons for the whole con.
servation campaign were not at all
understood by the majority OF the
people. Many thought It was simply a
question Of saving money, and not one
Of conserving food.
1t was definitely decided not to at.
tempt to circulate pledge cards until
such time as the matter of couserva.
ton had been better understood by
all the people Of Maui as far as il Is
possible to reach them, and that
every available means should be used
to bring about this result.
1t is proposed to hang up in the
schools the posters which the govern.
ment at Washington has sent to the
committee, to follow the same plan
that Honolulu adopted and have short
speeches in the motion picture houses
and to use slides for the presentation
of the simple facts concerning con-
serVation to the people at the show
houses. The president of the Maui
Chamber Of Commerce, R. A. Wads.

Of the chamber would be willing to
assist by speaking between pictures
If arrangements could be made with
the arrangements.
Mr.. Honda stated that the Japanese
people Of Maui were being instruct
ed to save in every way possible, and
that the Japanese newspapers, were
doing their best to circulate the In
formation needed and arouse the peo-
pple to q sense Of their obligations.
The question OF the price Of white
flour as against the price Of rye, gra-
ham and corn flours was discussed at
length, and 1t was decided that . def.

that every one of them knows after
three years of war what he Is up
