FOOD CONSERVATION WEEK FOR
WORLD RELIEF OPENS.

Sunday starts Conservation Week
for World Relief.
1t is the beginning of the apllica-
ton of the new slogan Food Will
Win the World" The world must
be won If there are to be stable gov
e1nments with which to conclude
peace that will promise permanently.
And it must be won before millions
more of lives are sacrificed through
starvation or strife. Strife has been
halted by the victory Of American and
Allied arms. War has been replaced
By the disorders of anarchy The
chaos is born of famine which food
alone can defeat. An ordered world
is necessary to complete the task The
American people have begun, SO the
American people must save food to
hasten and assure the victory. That
is the message of Conservation Week
and the duty of the new day.
The District and Parih Food Adj
ministratOrs of Louisiana, in session
at New Orleans last Saturday pledg-
ed themselves to remain at their
posts until their honorable discharge,
and to lead in the conservation week
program and other food activities to
follow the opening attack. The pres
ent appeal is for the economical and
efficient use of all foods and the elm
ination Of waste Of every kind. If
there is an emphasis upon any par
ticular varieties of food it is upon
fats, dairy products and meats.
After Mr.. Hoover's survey abroad he
may be more specific. The COM
panion conservation of the Food Ad-
ministrators was to strictly enforce
the rules against protiteering and
speculation, the government urging
that no leniency be shown violators
who must be forced to suspend bust
ness until the end of the Food Adj
ministration's power and life. Other
features were the address of Frank
lin w. Fort, who delivered the Her.
bert Hoover messages, and the pre-
sentation of loving cups to John M.
Parker and to j. NJ. When, assist
ant food administrator.

Week are as follows:

On Sunday Mr.. Hoover's message
to the church will be read from every
pulpit in the land. On Tuesday mass
meetings will be held in every parish
in Louisiana, under the direction of
the Parish Food Administrator. Dur
ing the week this same message of
Mr.. Hoover's will be read before fra
ternal organizations as their meet
ings occur.
Wednesday is Woman's Organiza-
ton Day. Although Wednesday has
been set aside for these meetings,
it may be necessary in some commu-
mites to hold meetings on different
day. 1t has been thought that there
in having as many organizations as
possible pledge their renewed loyal
ty to the Food Administration, be-
cause they embrace such a large
number of women. The Administra
ton appeals to the women, as we'll
as to the farmer in this crisis to con-
serve for the peoples of the world.
