Show '-"-'-., ' ' "'- ' . . v . -f - . '.. TTncle Sam is no longer going to take ? - It for granted that every Utah citizen is squarely behind the food administratis administra-tis While he is pretty sure this ts so, be n now demanding proof of It. To secure this proof the Federal Food ' : Administration Is starting a campaign for the placing of a United States Food Administration Card in every home In - the state. The card carries with it no pledge but simply the words "Member "Mem-ber of the United States Food Administration." Admin-istration." Uelow this slogan .is the Hoover Insignia. Federal Admlnlstra-tor Admlnlstra-tor Armstrong Is asking that one of the cards be placed in the front win- ' dow of every lflyal citizen's home, knowing that no Utahn woujd care to fly such a banner unless he was doing his utmost to live up to the regulations of the U. S. Food Administration. ' Practically every home in the state has hhown a Liberty Bond card in Its window and during the Chrlftmas sea-, sea-, son proudly displayed the Red Cross emblem. And now not falling a whit behind in Its food conservation Work, it Is believed that every home will show that It is solidly behind the big move- . ment of feeding, not only those within Jts doors, but Us neighbors across the, sea. ' N The cards are tft show that Utahns t worn to eat over-sweetened food, when their very sons are In need of energy ' giving sogar to win victory at Hie fighting fight-ing line. They will show that Utahns did their share In squeezing out wheat from their own cupboards to send over seas this spring and that they will con-1 con-1 tinue to squeeze until the last crumb If , divided. These cards are going to show that . Utahns have helped to feed 120,000,000 i ; people by voluntary, savings. They TffcCftn that If Utah effort can count for i ; anything, theTe Is going to be an end . to the starvation of over four and a .' half millions of old men and women, young mothers, girls and boys and ' babies, who have been sacrificed to the wur god without the privilege of leaving leav-ing behind them the glorious memory of those who die on the battle field. Believing tWat the distribution of the cards can be affected more successfully through the school children of the state, Administrator Armstrong hns ?ied on the co-operation of Superln-'i?fi(lent Superln-'i?fi(lent of Public Instruction E. O. Cowans, the superintendent of schools In the larger cities of the state and the county superintendents. The cards will be sent out to the various schools accompanied by a letter from Federal Administrator Armstrong during the flrKt week of the school yenr. As this varies In many districts, some of the schools will he later thnn others la getting the curds to the citizens. ' one curd is to go to ench family and upon Its receipt citizens are asked to Immediately place It in their frorM window. |
