~ A MESSAGE ~
WV from MIR. HOOVER w

The confidence of the United States Food Adminisra
ton that the people Of the country would respond en-.
the facts any necessary requests for reduction in
sumption of food, has been fully justified We have
demonstrated ability not only to think together but to
act together This of the people the reason
for the present appeal.
Our work yet complete In spite Of the encourag
ing results of our efforts spite of the fact that
experts of foodstus constantly increasing and
approaching the minimum requirements abroad the need
for renewed devotion and effort pressing While all of
the requirements of the Food Administration should be
constantly observed there certain matters which
desire to stress at this time.
In the of meat and meat products the necessities
for shipment abroad very great Whereas the Allied
consumption has been reduced to average of about
Ia pounds person per week, today enjoying
an average of about 31 pounds per person per week
This division is negotiable An understanding of these
facts will justify our request that the consumption OF all
meats including poultry nearly possible be reduced
to pounds per week person four age
In the of sugar, embarrassed by the
sy of ships for carrying our soldiers and feeding
the Allies, and in consequence must use sugar with
great economy we must emphasize the importance OF
canning and preserving large scale among people
this and available sugar must be conserved
for this purpose.
But the situation with regard to wheat is the most
serious in the food supply of the Allied World. If we
to satisfy the minimum wheat requirements of our
Armies and the Allies, and the suffering millions in the
Allied countries consumption of wheat in the United
States until the next harvest must be reduced to approx
matev one-thrd of normal 1t is inconceivabe that we
should fail in this crisis For each of US who personal
ly contribute to the relief of human suffering it is
cannot bear this burden equally. Those engaged in
physical labor need larger bread ration than those in
sedentary occupations Because OF the constant daily
employment of women and the lack of home baking IA
cties many households in large urban centers require
food ration already prepared such as the bakers stand
Victory bread loaf Furthermore must constantly
safeguard the special requirements of children and in
valids.
To meet the situation abroad and prevent serious
suffering at home, is imperative that all those whose
circumstances permit shall abstain from wheat and wheat
products in any form until the next harvest realized
and deeply appreciated that many organizations and
some communities have already agreed to follow this
plan.
1t is hoped that you will communicate this to your
organization and your community, urging those whose
circumstances will permit to join with US and take this
stand.

greater interest in this work than was
the case last year, when over 500
men and women attended the college
courses and then returned to their
home communities as leaders of food
conservation work.
The first course, which opens June
8, Is already filling up, but applica-

given preference in the later schools
which are scheduled for each week

EARLY FOR
SUMMER EARNINGS,
SAYS STATE DIRECTOR

The importance Of preparing early
for the summers canning work is be-
ing emphasized by Miss NJ. E. Sprague,
Home Economics Director for Con-
necticut- Miss Sprague is anxious that
every woman make sure that she has a
sufficient quantity of jars on hand as
early as possible. She suggests that
the housewife make a list Of the
canned fruits and vegetables she will
need during the coming year and check
this with the number of glass Jars on
hand and, If necessary, take immediate
steps for securing further supply,
since there is possibility Of a short
age in some sections of the state.
Rubbers should not be used sec
ond time, according to Miss Sprague,
and the housewife should insure a
plentiful supply of these before the
canning season opens.
Attention is also called to the series
of canning schools which is being con-
Quoted comparatively at Storrs by the
Connecticut Agricultural College and
the Committee of Food Supply of the
State Council of Defense, the first one
opening June and repeated each
week as long as the need is apparent.
The threatened sugar shortage,
which has caused considerable concern
among housewives, has been to large
extent at least aHeviated by the sys-
tenn of certificates which VIII entitle
bonaf1de purchasers to buy sugar for
canning purposes

wheat released for export.


The College and the Food Commit
tee are emphasizing the importance of
sending leaders to this school who will
be equipped to act as demonstrators
and sources of information in their
home communities. By the use of this
method for disseminating information
last year the canning work Of the
state was made exceptionally valuable
and Connecticut was outstanding
among the other states of the Union
in several phases of this work.
The entire cost of the course will
be $3.50, which will include board and
room for the week. 1t is urged that
applications be made to the Connect
cut Agricultural College at an early
date in order that proper assignments
may be made.

There Is vogue for organdie-and
for net and other gossamer weaves-
but most of all for organdie. 1t is
used for frocks and for hats and in
all It's long history never appeared in
lovelier conceitS. 1t is made in flower
like colors and seems to suggest
quaint styles to designers who make
the most of it's sheer crisp texture in
frOcks that are as irresistible as
spring blossoms. Frills, narrow laces,
in ruff1es and insertions, ruchings and
sashes just naturally follow in the
path of organdie and everybody
wears this utterly feminine material
from the little three-year-old to her
grandmother.
So, in a summer when everything
that looks like extravaganza is taboo,
we may expect that womanktnd will
simply revel in organdie. 1t is made
in white and all the lovely light c0lors
yellow, lavender, pale green, rose,
blue and pink and IN plain and cross
bar weaves. Plain skirts with, knee
deep or even deeper hens make place
for frills of lace or organdie, or are
left untrimmed to be worn over lace
trimmed batiste petticoats. Older
women choose light green, lavender
and white, and younger ones include
these with yellow, blue and rose
shades. The effect of the pale colors
over white is particularly good when
frocks are made with tunic skirts like
that shown in the picture. The very
deep hens contribute something of
the same advantage in deepening pale
tints over white.
