Excerpt
Latest reports from all parts of the world show that the food shortage In Europe and Asia has developed Into an International crisis - far worse than was indicated three months ago. The situation calls for Immediate, decisive action. Drastic measures are being taken by our Government and by the United Nations, but every citizen of the United States must help If we are to prevent mass starvation In the rest of the world. The duty of the American family in this emergency is to:
1. Cut food waste and eat less wheat products, fats, and oils — substituting foods that are plentiful.
2. Produce and preserve food at home — meeting farm goals raising victory gardens, canning and preserving.
Victory gardens this year will help immeasurably in making good our commitments to the rest of the world and assuring adequate supplies here at home. Last year's 18,400,000 home gardens turned out tremendous quantities of vegetables and fruits. We must do as well this year — better If possible.
