EMMERSON (Office Oné House North of the Catholic Church) PORT PERRY, ONTARIO Phone 151 *To The People of Port Perry Our Dominion has responded nobly tothe cause of our Empire in sending men to the Front. Our Government has done splendid work in training, equipping and arming our soldiers, and our coun has res with wonderful patriotism to the call for funds to care for de- pendent ones, to help the maimed and wounded, and to give aid and comfort to our soldiers in the firing line. Port Perry has done her share along these lines, and, we have it on the authority of Dr Abbotts, has been an inspiration to other places to do their share. a ee Now, however, a new need has arisen. England, France, and Italy find themselves on the verge of famine. The granaries and storehouses in those countries are empty. ~The large" resgivés of food usually on hand are exhausted; and the .most serious problem of the war is the feeding of the Allied armies till the next harvest is gathered and then:to make this food last until'the harvest of 1919. fg We are all aware of these facts. We have for months been exhért- &d to "Stop All Waste," to consume less exportable food, and to help in every way the production of more and more meat and grain for export. The question arises--In what way can we do something individually to help in this matter? At a meeting of the Resourses Committee, after discussion, the chairman was requested to write a letter embodying the views of the Committee as to-- Ist. What we can do to increase production in this district? 2ud' - How can we checkiwaste and conserve food forexport? Each one must answer these questions for himself or herself as the case may be. But if everyone can be brought to ponder the questions and to do their best in this matter much will be gained. A few sug- gestions may be helpful to some. A y TO MEN---The great majority of men in Port Parry have been farmers or were raised on a farm. They can be very effectual as farm helpers if they can be phiced when help is needed. A very considerable number could spend a day or two a week helping a farmer friend during * the busy season. Offer your services for a day or half a day each week. and encourage the farmer to feel that help can be obtalned at a critical time. : . Offer your car as a means of transporting help to the place where it is needed. Cultivate your garden or your neighbor's (if he cannot do it) better thah ever before. Register your name with Mr Ford who has consented to keep a list of the names of men willing to help with the work, Mr Ford will also keep a list of farmers who need help if they will apply to him. / A very real danger is that many fields will be left untilled for fear that help will not be forthcoming to care for and harvest the crop. Com- bat this idea and encourage the farmer to feel that help will be supplied when needed. 3 Keep a cow or raise a pig. "We have the promise of the Reeve that the By-Law in this regard will not be strictly enforced if due care is taken of the premises in which the pig is kept. . Do your own chores about residence or store; be your own chauffer; mow your own lawn, and thus release that much Tabor for use elsewhere. TO WOMEN -- All honour to the women of Port Perry who have done such noble work in preparing and forwarding clothing and comforts to our soldiers. During tne summer perhaps less socks will be needed, and more work in other ways can be accomplished: In some cases per- haps work usually done by the men could be undertaken by the women of the household, and the men thus given an hour or two more in the fields or gardens each day. Meals may be planned to save as much beef, bacon and wheat as possible. Substitutes just as appetizing and wholesome can be made to do their part. Fish and corn meal are foods that should be more -gen- erally used, As to fruits and vegetables, live up to last year's. motto: "Can all you can." . Do without luxuries. The expensive luxury takes the time of men, weeks, or months to manufacture, and this labor is badly needed elsewhere TO BOYS---The Government this week, March 17 to 25, are trying to enrol from 15,000 to 25,000 boys between the ages of 15 and 19 years in the Soldiers of the Soil Movement. Each boy who serves satisfactor- ily on a farm for three months will be given an'S.0.S. badge which will . be presented at a public gathering. Volunteer for this three months service and in after years you will be proud to be able to say that though too young to be on the firing ine, you enrolled in the second line of defence and "did your bit." TO GIRLS AND YOUNGER BOYS--It is hoped that the Re- sources Committee will be able to arrange and organize a School Gar- den where any pupil may bave a plot or help in pianting and cultivating a vegetable garden. Such gardens have been very snccessful 'in other places and would no doubt succeed here. . . LLOYD GEORGE in a letter addressed to the farmers of the Em- pire says: "The line, which the British Empire holds against the Germans, is © held by those who WORK ON THE LAND as well as by those who. fight on land and sea. Acquit yourselves like men and as workmen on 1and do your duty with all your strength.' , - 8. J. MELLOW, Chairman of Local Resources Committee.
