EXHIBITS OF FOOD
 IN THREE SECTIONS
Public to See Canning Results of
 Local Housewives

The food committee of the To- cal womans committee, State Council of Defense is planning to conduct a series of food exhi bits, where fruit and vegeta bIes canned at the various canning classes held in this City un- der the direction of that committee. may be placed on exhibition The committee plans to have three centers. EOne in the northern, another in the southern section of the city, while an effort will be made to have one of the centers in the center of the city, making it possible for members of all ; classes to take advantage of this op- portunity to place the results of their work on exhibition without walking any great distance
 The canning classes are still being conducted under the supervision of Miss Metcalfe. and will be continued until the end of the canning season. New members are welcome, there be- ing no charge connected with the classes. Next week Miss Metcalfe plans to demonstrate in the art of using odds and ends of vegetables in salads
 Reports that are coming in from members of the canvassing teams en- gagged in soliciting housewives throughout the city to fill out pledge cards furnished by the State Council of Defense. to ascertain the numbe of quarts of canned goods to be put up by New Britain women, indicate that New Britain will go over the top in providing the 140,000 quarts of canned products, which is the quota for this city. The committee urges that all women who have not been approached in the matter fill out the blank print ed mi this publication of the Herald and mail it to Mrs. Martin K. Pasco, chairman of the food committed

#Sx e%ample, a resolution was intro duced in the Common Council, and adopted, which provided that shortly after noon each day, a bell in the City Hall or elsewhere should be rung certain number of strokes, at which signal the people of Poughkeepsie are reouested to lift their thoughts to the Almighty and ask Him to bless our bows in France The plan has gained great popularity since it's inaugural tion and will be continued until the enemy is defeated.
 Again. in Arkansas City, at g o'clock in the evening, factory whis- +ies are blown and every head in the community is bowed for minute in silent supplication for the welfare of American troops and their Allies. Every taxicab bears a placard which reads as follows: we stop at g o'clock for one minute while the city engages in prayer for our soldier boys and the cause they represent in
 
 and pedestrians halt on the sidewalks, while silence reigns supreme.
 A beautiful sentiment is contained in the Presidents suggestion, and there is no reason why the plan fol- lowed in other cities could not be adopted here. The whole ceremony lasts only one minute, so that the claim can hardly be raised that too much time would be lost thereby. We respectfully bring this matter to the attention of the clergymen of this city, and if they approve of the idea, the resolution should be, presented to the Common Council without further delay.
