This community is faced with the immediate task "of
organizing to SAVE FOOD materials urgently
needed by our; invading Armed Forces.
There is not :available _at . thismoment one half the_ _.
farm help required to save ` the abundant food
• crops. ready for harvest on farms . in this- community.
Yet these crops must be :saved to feed our invading
armed forces—to whom food is as vitally important
as'.urnmunition. They cant win if they dont eat.
The.man power needed to save this food .can be provided ONLY
'in one way; and that way is by, the citizens of this community
organizing to provide help for its farmers, organizing the "spare
hours" of its men in the cause of Saving Food for Victory.
The organization has two parts:
1. Organizing a Form Commandcliil Brigade, with ace and tele-
phone, .where information can be given and the enlistments
of loyal citizens received and through which men may be
• placed on farms requiring help most urgently
2. Enlisting every available man in the community Mvho will
pledge 'his evenings, week -ends, holidays, half -days,- every
spare hour - during this critical harvesting period.
The Department of Agrirculture of . the Ontario l,;overnment
provide organizers and will co-operate and assist at every point
in the formation and operation of , the Farm Commandos.
The need is Urgent! It Requires himediate Action!
Unless such help is provided thousands of bushels
of vitally -needed grain will go to waste ' in the fields
in this district.
