Further Conservation
APPEAL BY ADMINISTR AToR
BROOKS
Spectre of Famine Abroad Haunta
the Abundance of Our Tables
at Home, He Says.

Montpelier, Dec. - World Relief
Week" is in full swing throughout
Vermont and the rest of the nation
Meetings will be held for the remain
der Of the week in every county and
in great many towns of the state at
which the necessity that every indi-
vidual join in doing everything pos
sible along food lines to bring relief
to the starving, and thus prevent Boil
shevism from spreading will be ex-
planned.
Frank H. Brooks, Federal Food Ad-
ministrator for Vermont, today adj
dressed the following appeal to the
people of the state:
The miracle Of the loaves and
fishes is to be re-enacted--not before
multitude of five thousand but for
millions of starving multitudes. In
that day of Christ, there was enough
and TO spare: In this new day of
Christ, there will be sufficient, if we
share
Let me quote statement made by
Mr.. Hoover to the State Food Admin
istrators recently in Washington
In North Russia forty million peo-
PIE now face winter and starvation
OF those forty million, probably ten
million will die from starvation this
coming winter
y know the sympathetic action of
the people of Vermont will support
Mr.. Hoover as he goes forth on what
May be termed a God-like mission.
He has saved Belgium from starva-
ton. BY his organized effort and the
corporation of the people the cause
of the allies has been saved more than
once. He, with your cooperation
now will save the world from starva-
ton and it's twin companions, anar-
chy and Bolshevism We must re-
move famine. 1t is 10 save ourselves,
and American Institutions, that we
should promptly and willingly help
Mr. Hoover stop famine conditions.
Let me quote from Mr.. Hoover's
inspiring message to the Administra-
tors Referring to changes in rules
and regulations. he said
"HThere is one policy which cannot
change That is the vital necessity OF
simple living and economy in con
sumption OF food commodities. We
must realize that the spectre of fam
inc abroad now haCnts the abundance
OF our table at home.
|. Can we be more worthily chal'
lenged? You know. as well as I. that
when the people have thought this
thing through, they will quickly ant
unselfishly respond as for all the
requests heretofore made by Mi
Hoover.
MAKE World Relief Week develop

the world from famine and Bolshe'

ton, deep and sincere. to the people
