S I II food administrator APPEALS TO MINISTERS Asks Them To Urge People To Conserve Food This Winter Asheville ministers, together with other ministers in the state, have re ceive letters from Henry A. Page, food administrator for North Carolina, urging them to place before their con gregation, both from the pulpit and in their daily contact with the people, the matter of food conservation. A copy of the letter is as follows: "Tens of thousands of men, women and children, particularly the latter, will perish in Europe this winter from starvation and exposure, even at the best. ...' "Unless the people of America, as individuals and as families, economize in the use of foodstuffs and substitute local products which are not suitable for shipping for those that are suit able for export, this number of starv ing people will be multiplied. The products which, because of their con centrated nature and keeping ipiali tics, are suitable for shipping are beef, and pork products, wheat, fats and sugar. Every ' American Is, requested -by our sovernnient to substitute for the products named cwher products which they can secure and thus release the greatest supply possible of those ex portable products for the use of our allies and to save from starvation as many as possible of the neutrals in K u rope. "The heart-rendering part of it all is that our people have not waked up to the horrible death that threat ens several hundred thousand indi viduals in Kurope 'or even to the ter rible, menace of a complete German victory of our European allies should collapse because we do not supply them with the foodstuffs which they must have if they are to hold out. "The critical period is now. Our people must save "ow if our allies are to have . the . -foodstuffs' .which they save during the next few months. "The. hearts of those who do have a complete realization of the food situa tion in Kurope are torn with anguish because of the suffering and because our people are so slow to take the only steps that are possible to relieve their suffering and to save their lives. "I am appealing to yoti-as the teach ers and ministers of our people to at tempt to bring home to your people some sense of the unutterable horror of the situation and to get each one of them to realize, that what they can save of the products suitable for ship ping will certainly be used, in reliev ing the suffering and .in savins the lives of human beings in the coun tries of our 'allie and to ns great an extent as possible in the countries of the European neutrals. '.. "Our ;gnrnment authorities are sending to Kurope as fast as they dare these products. They are not going to send such a, supply as will deprive our: people, but they do appeal: most, earnestly to our people to make avail able to fust as great an extent as pos sible by saving and by substituting of other products those things, which may be shipped to Europe. "Will you hot lay this matter upon the consciences and hearts of vour people both from the pulpit and in your daily, contact with them, and en treat them to do everything they can now, later lives : will have been lost and, their own liberitics endangered."
