INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Oct 22-Gov-
ernor James p Goodrich. Michael r.
Foley. Chairman State Council Of De-
Tense, and n. +. Barnard, Food Ad-
ministrator, have given their cordial
endorsement to n dinner to be given
on Halloween night. Thursday, Octo-
Der 81 The local dinner will be but
one OF many to be given throughout
the state as the present plans call for
celebrations. not only In each county
seat, but In every city and town Of
importance. The food consumed at
these diners must be connned to In
diana products exclusively and II each
county can have a menu of its own,
why so much the better. 1t Is be-
lieved that for the local dinner plenty
OF home grown food can be found. so
that the bill will be composed exclus-
lively of meats, vegetables, ETC., that
were produced in this county. These
dinners will take the place Of the reg
ular evening meal and the diners, In
order to save food, must remember
that 1t is unpatriotic to eat anything
at home before the home grown din
ner is served.
There was time when young wom-
en-, In celebrating Halloween looked
into their horrors in the hope of see
ing reflected there the likeness of their
future husbands. Something of the
same thought will be brought out In
this years Halloween celebration. The
people Of Indiana will be asked to look
into the mirror of the future and see
the reflection of what is held in store
for them in all parts of the state. 1t
IA to link the states business and
commercial interests closer together
that gave rise to the Halloween din
ner idea. The movement is sponsored
by the Indiana State Chamber of Com
merce and will be carried forward in
every Indiana county largely by the
commercial organizations. However.
the cooperation of the county councils
OF defense and food administrators is
sought because emphasis is to be plac-
cd upon war work and upon the nee
essity for greater use of food that
is produced at home.
The United War Work campaign,
now starting throughout the country
will be given impetus in Indiana at
these dinners and the men whorepre-
sent this united activity will speak at
several of the gatherings. No money
will be solicited or accepted at any
OF the dinners, but on the following
day statewide campaign will be con-
Quoted to secure new members for the
Indiana State Chamber of Commerce
and about fifteen other statewide or
plantations that comprise every form
OF organized business activity in Hoos-
ierdom
There are additional reasons for
these meetings, aside from the import
ance of featuring home products and
giving the United War Work campaign
good start. The additional reasons
are found in the fact that Indiana's
legislature will meet before a great
while and it will be one of the most
important sessions in the history of
the state Each community is inter
ested because it has it's own problems
and certain things seem paramount.
Only by harmonious action and friend
~ cooperation can the desired results
be obtained, for what is desired is
legislation that will benefit all of the
