CANNING URGED FOR WAR
RELIEF

American victory gardeners and
farm families are urged to can
more food and give this surplus to
EurOpe'a hungry millions.
In a statement endorsing the
Community Canning Program for
War Relief. Dr.. Studebaker declar
ed:
Now that Europe's guns have
cooled. food must continue the
fight for freedom if starving mil
lions are to survive and justify the
price paid in freedoms name"
Gardens in many areas are pro-
ducing more than is being utilized
locally, and good crop wasted or
unused means lives lost or forever
darkcned. All surplus produce of
American farms. gardens orchards
ard fields should he canned and
shared to build strength and hope
in the bodies and hearts of war
ravaGcd people. Europe's children
and men and women need the help
ing hand of America. Victory on
the battlefield did not work the
miracle of restoring normal feed
production and distribution. Fol
freedoms sake. gardeners anC
farm families must share all they
can with the suffering people over
seas.
The community Canning Pro
gram for War Relief was organized
bv the United Nations Relief ant
Rehabilitation Administration il
cooperation with the L. s. Office o
Education, the Camp Fire Girls
and Girl Scouts. Many national or
ganizatiOns including the Futur

Milford did. and that spot was at

that the Methodist Episcopal con-
greeation of Milford erected sub
stantial brick edifice at this loca-
tiOn. On the east side of North St.
is the old hurying ground, in which
are entered the leaders of the COM
munity. State and Nation of the
nineteenth century. On the north

maple trees. under which the youth
of that section of North Milford

uE3Z morning. one we had
- heard many times
before. There were the ouick
and happy feet, and there
were those who seemed 10 have
a little reluctance in their
steps. signifying the moods of
the boys and girls as they
started their first day at school.
Much has happened since June
and new conditions have arisen.
but 1t seems that this year
could be different one from
those that have just passed.
Certainly the boys can look
forward To full senior year
and the girls may not sense the
restlessness caused by chang
ed curriculums and the unccr-
tainty of finishing the class
year with all the members
With the prospect of families
being together again and school
getting on an even keel once
