Show UTAH WOMEN AID FOOD PLEDGE WEEK Clubs Lend Tbeir Support to Movement for tlie Conservation of Supplies. To the women Ts clubs throughout the state, to the relief societies, all working work-ing under the direction of the committee, commit-tee, on food supply and conservation of tlie state council of defense, belongs the credit of putting Utah at tho head of the nation for the food pledge week, j says the food administration. Fooa j pledge week has just begun in the other states of the union, but Utah answered ; Eromptly at the first call of the United , ; states food administrator last July. The ; Utah housewives didn 't wait to be : flooded with appeals to do their plain duty, but they came to the front at a quick step and a total of more than 52,000 pledge cards has been in the hands of the state food administration since the first of August, he adds. Notwithstanding the fact that the state campaign was promptly reported j to headquarters, and the first rank in 1 the food pledge' ascribed to Utah, the . food administrator adds, the mails have been burdened with the same sort of ; literature, and the same. kinds of appeals ap-peals which are being" so badly needed in the forty-seven states where the appeal ap-peal last July was never answered. |
