FOOD COUNCIL
May DISBAND.
Meeting Friday Night Will
Determine Life of
Organization.

President John G. McGrath. of the
District Citizens Food Council, has
issued a call for a meeting of the
council, to be held in the board
room of the District Building, Fri
day, January 3, to determine i'm
portant policies with respect to the
future of the organization.
In the event that it is determined
to continue the activities of this
body, officers for the'new year will
be elected Friday night.
In the opinion of the District
Commissioners. who have offered 20
place office quarters in the Munich
pal Building at the disposal of the
council, the work of the organiza-
ton, pointing out practical methods
by which unnecessary charges in
the distribution of food could be
eliminated, has more than justified
its existence and should continue as
a permanent body
Community buying experiments
conducted by the council have
proved eficacious in demonstrating
that there are abundant supplies of
country produce to be had on farms
around Washington, which will be
wasted unless some more economi-
cal system of marketing is devised.
While it is realized that these ex-
periments cannot be continued in
definitely with volunteer workers, il
is believed that they have assisted
materially in keeping prices of food
stuffs in the District at a lower
level than they would have reached
had there been no organized re-
sistance.
