WORLD RELIEF

DECEMBER list
Designed to Bring Home to Kentuck-
lans the Seriousness Of the
Worlds Food Pre-
dlcament.

Louisville, November 1S-A pro-
gram for world relief week, hereby
announced by Federal Food Admins
traitor Fred M. Sackett, is designed to
bring home to the people the serious
ness of the worlds food predicament
and engender a deep, conscious real
ization of the work which still re-
mains for the people of Kentucky and
the nation to do. World Relief Week
will begin with Sunday, December 1,
and run through Saturday, December
7, and daily exercises will be held and
intensive campaign work done during
the week over the entire United States.
The Food Administration affirms we
in America do not know what actual
food shortage really is. The sum and
substance of the announcements made
by Mr.. Sackett and the Educational
Division of Kentucky is that unless
great and increasing quantities of
food are shipped to Europe now and
during the coming twelve months the
German women and children will per-
ish by thousands, Russians will die by
the million, part of the Italian nation
will die and the Belgians will never
live to receive just reparation and in
demnity from the Teptons.

forcement Division of the Food Ad-
