LXV County Food Saving Program Planned At Meeting Here Monday Every Man, Woman And Child Asked To Help Relieve World Famine. A County-wide food conservation program, in which every man, wo man and child in Person County will be asked to save so that the starving millions of Europe, Asia and Africa may be given all possible aid, was planned here Monday night at a meeting of agricultural leaders, proprietors of eating places, and representatives of civic and religious groups. The saving of wheat products, fats, and oils will be the keynote of the program, which will last until har vest-time, about mid-July. The slogan will be ‘‘Save a Little and Help a Lot.” Detailed recommendations will be publicized soon on how housewives, operators of eating establishments, and all other citizens can do their part in order that food may be shipped abroad to places where it is badly needed to sustain life. The Person County U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture Council, headed by C. T, Hall and composed of work ers in all agricultural agencies, has endorsed the program, and urges that the public cooperate fully. The food-saving measures recom mended to owners of public eating places, as well as the suggested economies for housewives and all other citizens, have been approved by President Truman’s famine em ergency committee. Leaders in the movement have pointed out that if every American would reduce his bread consumption by three slices daily, three-fourths of a million tons of wheat would be saved for shipment abroad; and if everyone saved just one teaspoonful of fat each day, the total daily sav ing would be a million pounds. Th" nrOgram started on a national scale March 15. H. K. Sanders, county agent, pre sided at tlie meeting Monday night. Present were representatives of the Farm Security Administration, the Extension service, Roxboro civic clubs, eating establishments, the ministerial association, and the press. Mr. Hall, as chairman of the USDA Council, appointed Miss Nettie Day, Bill Davenport and Bill Humphries as a committee to advertise the program as widely as possible. The committee will prepare posters giving highlights of the food-conservation program and these posters will be distributed throughout the' County. o Sugar Stamps Sugar Stamp No. 39, good for five pounds, expires April 30.

President Truman’s emergency famine committee says: The world faces the gigantic emergency of famine among five hundred million people due to war exhaustion or agriculture drought. » A great human cry has come to us to save them over a terrible four months until the next harvest. The Western Hemisphere alone has the aid to give, and a heavy part of the burden falls upon the United States. These people can survive if we provide a minimum of bread and fats to them. Os breadstuffs, wheat can best be transported and used in the famine countries. Therefore we are asking our citizens to make a voluntary sacrifice of 40 per cent of their consumption of wheat products and 20 per cent of food fats and oils during this next 120 days. We have adequate food beyond what we must ship to meet the needs of the starving. Even if we send them every possible pound of wheat and fats, the quantity of food remaining in our country still will be greater than pre-war. We are astcing that all who can, grow victory gardens and thus help to assure continued, plenty of all other foodstuffs, we ask that there be no waste. America still th.owj away the richest garbage in the world. To avert hunger, we cannot fail to meet this call. If we fail we shall see a world of disorders which will paralyze every effort at re covery and peace. We shall see the death of millions of fellow human beings. Guns speak the first word of victory, but only food can speak the last word.
