Cooperative buying on big scale.
offering substantial relief to families
which are feeling most kesnly the
pinch OF hith food prices. Is to be
tnaugurated this fall by washingtons
community centers. aided by the Dis
trict food administration.
More than = dozen cepters. which
already have rendered valuable serv-
ice this summer IN procuring food
commodities for family groups at
wholesale prices, are planning to ex-
tend their activities, to pool their
orders and bring staples to Washing
ton in carload lots.
Warehouse Is Thought OF.
This will be but the trst step In
carrying out I comprehensive scheme
for bringing relief to those families
which are willing to provide part Of
tha laber in supplying their larderx
The next developmenant will Be the
opening Of q. community warehouse,
where commodities other than staples
can be stored and distributed through
the centers
Determination Of the second step
will wait upon the organization Of
more community centerS, SO that every

IN every schoolhouse. The centers will
be represented BY a central Commute
