MUCH INTEREST IN
 MASS MEETING PLANS 
Robert scoyiIie to Address, Norwich Audience on Food Conservation.

Much interest is being shown in the mass meeting to be held in the Town Hall on Tuesday evening, March 5, when Robert Seoyille, federal food ad- ministrator, will speak on the subject of Food Conservation, now so vitally before the American people Nothing except shipbuiIding is so closely re- lated to the present war situation now as the question of food. Owing to the present war situation now as the question of food. Owing to the trans portation difficulties this winter only about one half the promised amount
 of food was sent across the ocean and added to that shortage there is the ever present menace of submarines.
 In one week in February one million bushels of wheat was sent to the bot l tom. Unless we can get food not only to our soldiers, but to our allies the
 armies may collapse. The slogan Food will win the war had better
 be changed, MT. Scoville says, to Lack
 of food will lose the war"
 The food administrator is forceful l and earnest speaker, thoroughly con lversant with his subject. being closely
 in touch all the time with the food administration in Washington. It if expected that number of people from the surrounding towns will be present beside the large audience of towns people. The farm bureau has flour. ishing home economics committees ir V every town in New London county which are helping the food admins tration to carry out it's plans of foot
 production and conservation, and many of these committees are planning ts avail themselves of the opportunit,
 to hear MT. Scoville.
