Suggest Victory
Gardens For Peace

Famine conditions in war dcvaS-
tated countries are steadily grow
ing worse Vegetable gardeners
can help relieve these conditions
by growing vegetables at home and
thus provide:
|. An increase in total food sup
plies. making possible larger ship
ments abroad.
=. Extra food for relief and
community needs.
,. A reduction of r-lOadcd
transportation facilities with To-
cally grown produce.
t. An increased family security
against potential shortages and re-
ducc the local food bill
). For community development
and family health.
Both rural and urban folk can
do their bit towards increasing
available food supplies by having
an efficient and properly planned
vegetable garden. When the gar
dens are carefully planned, extra
vegetables for preserving. canning
freezing and winter storage will be
available. Successive paintings
should be included to provide Il
continuous source of fresh vegp-
tables Such a garden will make il
easier to save "a slice of bread Il
day" which will make more wheat
available for export.
President Truman states. "The
United States and other countries
have moved food into War-tOrn
countries in record amounts. bat
there has been a constantly widen
ing gap between essential minimum
needs and available supplies. The
threat of starvation in many parts
of the world and the urgent need
for food from this country empha-
sizes the importance of continued
effort to add to our total food sup
ply this year. A continuing pro-
gram of gardening will he OF great
benefit to our people"
Victory Gardens, sO-called dur
ing the war. are essential now. il
not more so than they ever have
/ been. They may be the determine
ing factor in providing extra food
for home consumption that will al
low increasing amounts of the sta
pie foods to be shipped abroad tC
the starvation areas.
All Kent cOuntians are UrgeC
TO do their bit in this vital cam,
paign to prevent wholesale deatl
by starvation in the war-t0rl
areas.
