"A program Of this kind Il . return
to many Of the principles enu4ciatsd =,
year ago and which have been moro,

substitute In order to gain first oas)

for Missouri. "A year ago the Too1I
Administration asked the American
people to reduce all ~unnscsssary con-
sumption and waste. We preached TIA
gospel Of the clean plate. And that 4
the gospel we want to get over in
every household In Missouri this year.
