A copy o0 the card whioli house- wives will be asked to sign will be found on another page, As will be seen the pledge asked for is a most reasonable one. It will be well, in- deed, for Canada and the .inhabitants of this favored land mays consider themselves very fortunate if this Is the greatest sacrifice to be required of them. The idea is not that the civilian population of Canada put itself up- on short rations. The government tnsty find it necessary to do that lat-, er unless the people unite in the great work of food conservation, but at present the people are only asked to expend enough thought and plan- ning upon the work of feeding their families so that they may be' weli- nurished and at the same time that wheat, beef and bacon, those com- tnodities which can the more easily be shipped overseas, may be con- served to feed our boys in the tren- dies. There is great need of conserving Mod. Canada's harvest has been an abundant one, for,tvbieh our thanks are due to the great diver of all good, but the need remains for•great carefulness in the handling of food stubs, As much as possible of per- ishable Mod should be consumed such as 'vegetables and fruit. To this end aner d - oi in -c 0 1C has Il ua been passed at the instance of the Food Con- troller making it unlawful to buy canned vegetables or frust until fur- ther notice, so that the green crop may be used. In many households there is very little if any waste of food but in many others tliere is much waste. It is said that in Chicago ;during one month in which thrift was urged upon the people, there were five mil- lion tons less garbage hauled out to city dump heaps. Every loyal Can- adian woman will see to it that not- one scrap of food is wasted fn her itouselnold, The gospel of the clean plate should be preached and practised in every home. (101- dreh, if allowed to do so, will often heap themselves much more pl'enti- fttlly than they need and will leave half their food on their plates. It makes no difference whether or hot the parents can afford to allow,thfs, Every ounce of food wasted in -well- to-do households' makes it that notch harder for those in more straighten- ed circumstances to procure food'. This thought ought to be sef icient incentive to exercise the greatest care. in the handling of food stuffs, The ladles who will visit the dif- ferent homes in Clinton next week should, and no doubt will, bo met with thew r a nest sympathy and co- operation on the part of the house- wives. In and through and over all is the desire to do the hest for the coun- try we all love so much and to be tree to the boys whom we have sent, with many a tear but also with pride and joys, to take their part as men in the front 'line of battle. If when this great struggle is •over we each can say tido ' twe have con- tributed sofnething to help win the war it will be a source of satiated - Hon to tis, and what each one should keep In mind is the fact that it ie. not the few great deeds which en- dure the victory but the stead*, daily faithfulness in the eomfnoh, ev- eryday duties of the great -mass or the 1)eeple whldi finally *lege sue, ease, ENGAGEMENT ANNO'UNCE'D, Mr. and Mrs, Fred Toll of Blyth announce the engageinotit of their daughter, Mildred Manche, to Mr, Harry W.
