LEAGUE HOLDS ITS FIRST MEETING The first meeting In the interest of the Housewives' League in Norwich, ‘was held in the Hugh H. Osgood Mem | orfal Monday afternoon. This Is one department of service undértaken by the local branch of. the ational League for Woman's Service. Mrs. Edward J. Graham presided and after the. singing of America, led by Mrs. Gardnér Greene the speaker of the afternoon, Mrs. ‘W. W. Haywood of Hartford was lntroduced. Mrs. Hay- wood spoke of the difficulty of realiz- ing that war had come to us and of the stern necessity of doing our_part. We have at least two enemies in our our country to-be met and conquered; food shortage and high prices. The Housewives' League has been in existence a good many years and its work is very broad. The study of food values has been one of its ob- Jects and that is now of additional in- terest and importance. Just at pres- ent its scope is enlargening. It is taking every woman possible. The work does not interfere with other work, much of it being done in the home. It is organized work. however, as groups are more efficient than in- dividuals. When we copsider the normal food supply sufficient for eighteen months usual at this time we have only three months stored up we can see the need of emergency measures. Add to that the fact that we must feed England and France and the need becomes even more apparent for the coming year. Hoover urges four things upon the housewlives of America today, the con- servation and goaring use of sugar, wheat flcur, substituting corn meal, rye and other grains where possible, economy in red meats and the very careful ordering of baker's bread, as the loaves sent out by them will no longer be returned to them if not that instead of uged . pledge sent out by Mr. Foov er he urges each woman to read and consider carefully and sign wth the firm determination to carry it through The Housewives' Leagues organiza- tion 1s in the form of a narmy, one hundred persons constituting a regi- ment. each member paying a 10 cent fee. Part of the money 8o raised is to be used locally. In the fall a working housekeeper will be emploved to teach the practical use of the food substitutes necessary. All women are urged to enroll at the rooms of the National League for Women's Ser- vice. By joining the Housewive: League all the laterature on the sub- ject will be sent members and ex pert information will be at their dis- posal. A very interesting and general discussion f Jeremiah J.
