Show JANITOR SAYS PUPiLS JSRE ME FOOD Declares He Burns Enough Eatables Every Day to Feed Many. Calling the attention of teachers aud parents to the reat "waste occasioned by parents permitting children to take more lunch to school than they can possibly pos-sibly eat, with the resulting enrichment of the garbage can, James Anderson, residing at 1733 Second East street. Salt Lake City, himself a school janitor, jan-itor, suggests that possibly something can be done to conserve food lost in this careless manner. He bays in a letter let-ter to The Tribune: Having; read considerable on the conservation of food, I feel it my rinty to call attention to the wastefulness waste-fulness in food as observed in just one of the school? in which I am employe-! ns janitor. I burn every day food enough to support front five to ten of the starving people of Enrope. Sandwiches Sand-wiches and biscuits and doughnuts and cake are thoughtlessly thrown into the waste baskets " of the school. 1 do not believe that there is a little boy or a little pi rl but would iNavf1 a sandwich if they knew it could save a little boy or girl in Belgium or elsewhere. And the same can be said of the big folks at home. I think it proper to eaJ! the attention at-tention of the teachers and principals princi-pals of Salt Lake and elsewhere 60 they may instruct the children concerning the conservation of food that this wastefulness mav he ptopted. If we stop to consider what we read about other starving, starv-ing, surelv we would be more care-' care-' ful ourselves. |
