Serious.~ A resume of an address Civ
en- in Washington, D. c., last month
ly DIR. Wilbur shows the need OF
more food economy. 1t follows:
There is one thing about food work
that is different from other kinds of
work and that is that it is hard to
visualize the results actually obtained
The Red Cross has in it the element of
service and after weeks work
there are so many sweaters, SO May
socks, so many bandages rolled, and
the person who has served visualiZes
that service and sees what she has
done. 1t is a difficult thing to bring
about in the food conservation. You
have to realize that the women of
this country are knitting and when
people knit they think And the WON
en- Of this country are thinking as they
have never thought before because
their boys and their husbands, their
surroundings, everything, has been
thrown into the war, and when mil
lion women or ten million women
begin to think about problem when
they have reached the position that
women have in this country they are
going to DO great deal. You must
keep these women thinking right, and
realizing that this work Of food con
servation is their work to large ex-
tent, and you need to devise methods
that make Them feel a participating in
terest in all of this
