Women! It's
Up to You!

N0EAR MRS. AND MISS SEATTLE:
You going to entertain, in few
- days. thousands of boys who were,
and are, willing to lay down their lives for
you and yours.
Between the Pacific Coast and possible
danger stands just one force-the Pacific
fleet.
Between your home. your children, your
dearest, stand these men of the navy-and
they alone.
This is their holiday; il is your opportun-
ity well.
Thousands and thousands of these Amer
lean sailors will tramp Seattles streets hun
cry unless you do your part.
The city cannot feed these tens of thou
sands of sailors in its regular eating places.
II it could, it would hardly be hospitable to
profit from our guests
So the fleet committee has given the wo-
men of the city a chance to do something
for the hungry COB.
You can fill lunchbox with home good
ies-one lunch box. anyway, can't you?
When you fill this box, tuck in the paper
napkin on top of the fried chicken, wrap the
dill pickle in its blanket of waxed paper and
stick that big piece of layer-cake in the cor
ner, you know you have made one sailor
boy happy and have been, for the moment,
mother to lad who maybe has not had
taste of home cooking for a year.
Here is your opportunity. Won't you
please get busy?
You can secure a lunch box with full di-
rections at your grocery store.
Twenty-Five thousand Of them are needed
at the least and there are more than $4,000
Seattle housewives.
Do it as soon as possible and avoid the
confusion and vexaton Of the last minute
rush.
But do it. won't you? It's the only chance
you'll have to express your pent-up feelings
Think of it, 25.000 boys away from home
doing our work. nations work, without
thought of personal advantage!
Anyhow, one lunch is their due.
