BE THANKFUL FOR FOOD

i think we should thank the
Creator with particular humility for
the possession (food) that makes
our armies hberators, not looters, y
said Marvin Jones, head of the War
Food Administration, in a Thanks
giving Day statement. To the peo-
pies of looted, starving countries,
MI. Jones continued. THE coming
of the Americans means chance
to live again, to work their land
and enjoy its products. We will not
take their food. We have our food.
For that, and for all it means, we
give thanks"
