FOR HOUSEWIVES Al Will Be Asked fo Sign Pledge Gards For the purpose of aiding in the conservation of food and formulating ‘plans to carry on the food pledge card campaign, which will be started shortly, and to appoint men to super- intend the campaign, a meeting of the town committee of the State Council of Defense was held yesterday after- noon at the mayor’s office in City hall. Rev. Dr. George W. C. Hill was ap- pointed as chairman of the food pledge card committee with J. B. Comstock as secretary. Among those present at the meeting were: W. W. Leland, E. W. Christ, Richard Covert, E. F. Hall, Dr. Hill, Mr. Comstock | and Mayor Quigley. Tentative plans for the campaign were discussed by members of the committee and it is probable that the city will be divided into districts and through the medium of the Boy Scouts endeavor will be made to have one pledge card reach each housewife in the city. The card, on being pre- sented to the housewife, must be re- turned with or without her signature, as no cards will be left to be consid- ered later. In this manner the names of those who are or are not willing to pledge themselves to lessen the con- sumption of food will be determined. It was suggested to Dr. Hill that he enlist the aid of the registrars of vo- ters, William Zeigler and Thomas Smith, to help to divide the city into districts. Both men are thoroughly conversant with the thickly populated parts of the city and an effort will probably be made to secure their ser- vices. The success of the campalign will depend largely, members of the com- mittee thought, upon the advertising which is done and literature contain- ing articles on the conservation of food and the part which it is playing and will play in the war will be sent to the housewives of the city in addi- tion to being placed on the war bul- letin. As the campaign must be brought to a close on October 1 plans to or- ganize working forces are now in the works. No efforts will be spared to expedite a successful finish. Dr. Hill ‘who has the power, is expected to ap- point a number of co-workers today. Another matter of importance was a communication from the state ask- ing that a committee of property own- ers be named to work with insurance inspectors in their branch of the de- fense work. W. L. Hatch was ap- pointed as chairman of a committee, H. Dayton Humphrey, Fred Beloin, ford, John Skritulsky, Samuel Berko- witz, Anton Cieszy! i and Public Works Commissioner John O’Brien chocolate. by all the folks. @ For a limited time only all Liggett stores will sell Everything Is Complete at THE BIG STORE 380-382-384-386 MAIN STREET FTER months of hard incessant work the “Big Store Beautiful” is ready for business--the interior of 17,000 square feet of selling space on one floor with its up-to-date appointments,-- and the show windows of 1,250 square feet of display room is ready for public service.
