At the conference here Dr. Morgan.
the federal food administrator Of Ten
nessee, stated that in Wow of changed
conditions brought about by the cessa-
tion of hostilities there would neces-
sarily be some alterations In the food
program, but he made II plain that
there would be great suffering among
the liberated peoples Of Europe unless
the people of America continued to
supply ever increasing amounts OF es-
sential foodstuffs Due to the increased
tonnage available for It's transporta-
ton tho sugar situation is greatly i'm
proved and IL the European nations
continue on their present meagre su.
gar rations 1t will not be long before
the people OF this country will be able
to obtain nearly their normal ration Of
sugar In any event II Is not expected
to be less than four pounds per capita
per month, which will be the allow
ance beginning on December L.
Since the wheat supplies Of the
Southern Hemisphere will again be
available, there will now be sufficient
wheat, IL used in moderation, for the
people OF this country and of Europe.
and hence there IL no longer any ne
cessity for continuing the wheat sub
stitute program. But there is real
shortage of animal and vegetable fats,
and the utmost economy must be prac-
ticed in the use Of pork and fats. There
is likewise o scarcity of protein stock
feeds and this in turn has caused a
shortage Of dairy pre-
ducts. The people will. therefore. have
to continue to economize In the use Of
all dairy products butter. cheese and
milk. In Europe the herds have besn
sadly depleted and there Is not suffi-
cient fat for the little children. Only
ny practicing economy will there be q
sufficient supply of beef. General con.
servation along all lines, the eiimina-
ton of waste and the practice Of the
clean plate was earnestly ursed by DR..
Morgan. He warned the members Of
the conference that their tasks were
not yet complete. and that 1t would
probably be found that other changes
would have to be made in the program
during the course OF the next two or
three months. DR.. Morgan spoke OF
the sacrifices made by the food admin
istrators. thanking them for what they
had done to win the war.
This was the first conference OF all
The county food administrators ever
held in Tennessee. Heretofore the ad-
have been called to meet
