the following day; according to
notification received Friday from
Mrs. E. N. Howell, of Swannanoa,
state president.
Mrs. B. T.. Williams, Of Sted-
man, is director of the district.
The theme of this falls district
gatherings will be Together We

During the war period, the one
day meetings were confined to the
local officials who could gather in
a central place for discussion Of
the years problems. With the
close of the war, however, it is
expected that attendance at the
various conferences will be much
enlarged over recent years, Mrs.
Howell said. In many of the dis
tricts, however, there will be two
instead of one conference in order
that travel may be reduced. q
Mrs. j. S. Blair, of Elizabeth

president, will attend many of the
meetings and participate in the
programs. .-.-.--

Tuesday, September IS, has been
designated as the National Share
The Food Day and the National
Girl Scout Organization is jointly
sponsoring this project with other
national agencies, The local Girl
Scout organization is urging in
dividuals. families, troops and
others of this community to take
part. -
The purpose of Share The Food
Day is to help feed children and
grown ups in allied and liberated
countries; to share with those
who have suffered in the war;
to take the initiative in building
greater understanding Of the facts
behind Americas effort to help
feed those who face starvation.
Share The Food Plan is simple.
Each person or family should
select a menu of the country or
countries with whom they would
like to share restricted, war
time diet. On Share The Food
Day they should eat only the food
on their chosen menu. They
should not eat between meals.
Those who take part should pre-
tend that they are Chinese, Rus
sian. British or others who can't
get anything else to eat. Each
will see how little and limited an
amount of food other people have
been living on, not for one day
but week after week, month after
month and year after year. In
Europe and Asia, land has been
destroyed, crops ruined, and the
man-power and machinery for
raising food have been occupied in
winning the war. 1t will take
years for people in Europe and
Asia to secure enough food to
keep them from starvation, lei
alone have anything like the
variety and quality of meals we
in this country have every day
and any day, even under ration
ing.
According to the U. S. Dept. Of
Agriculture the average American
family of four spends 1888 pei
day for normal diet. Any one

costs great deal less.
Some of the sample menus are;
