Governor Martin G. >Brum-
baugh is working on his farewell
message to the, Legislature, which
will be delivered when it meets,
two weeks before the Inauguration.
The Governor has secured from
each department a resume of four
years and is writing his own state
ment on laws passed. The<Gover-
nor is so occupied that he has re-
mained at the Executive Mansion
most of the time when in this city.

Senator Lodge would have the
United States move slowly in Europe;
in other words. he doesn't want to
rush in where angels fear to tread.

1t is believed that the new Gov
ernor will go slow in the matter of
a change in the Department Of
Mines, and 1t would not be surpris-
ing to see Chief Button remain for
a time beyond what has been al
lotted to him in the political gos-
sip. The plan of reorganizing the
department and creating two bu-
reaus, anthracite and bituminous, is
being heard of again.
DIR. Nathan c. Schaeffer, super
intendent of public instruction, may
retire at the close of his present term
which has two years to go. Con-
trary to some reports Commission
er of Forestry Robert S. CoAkling
another Lancaster countian, will
serve out his term as commission
er.

The plan of consolidating the
Game, Fish and Forestry activities
at least in the matter of outdoor
work is being seriously considered.
The idea is to have them brought
together under a board which would
really constitute q council of conS
servation. Their work would be
more co-ordinated but at the same
time the bureaus would be admin
istered much as at present. The
Game Commission would have the
hunters license for game propaga-
ton, bounties and similar work.

Food Pledge

We pledge to our country our
best effort to prevent waste and the
selfisi, use of our food reserves. We
pledge our loyal cooperation in
carrying out the conservation mea-
sures suggested by the government.
And if economy sometimes
grows irksome or If this service
works unwclco,m change in tir
n,aIner of our living, we will think
OF these WHO have given their lives
for their, country and of those
whose homes have been devastated.
We will be glad to hear that We.
too, can serve in satisfying their
hunger, in renewing their courage,
and in TO- establishing their homes. :"
This pledge and resolutions en-
dorsing it were adopted and passed
by countless meetings Of women s
organizations last week. The occa-
sion was Women's Organization
Day in the Conservation Week
for World Relief being held by
the United States Food Adminin-
istration. The women, az house,
wives, were asked by speakers to re.
main ,mobolized until the Allies and
the DEMONSTRATIONS of Europe are
fed. Americas food pledge of ~
million tons, the loading capacity
OF American ports, for the relief of
more than 100 million people in
the world, was dwelt upon by the
speakers.

was stated, hunger reigns in Eu.

resources in food and materials OF

completed and until they are mus.

habits Of living and the daily yield

them in their meetings. The pre-.

were told, isn..eess;.ry to keep down

suits were predicted should failure
