CHAMBER OF COMMERCE SEEKS TO RENDER TIMELY SERVICE I (By Jas. L. Carbery.) ^ With the ever present idea and am? ? bition to render to the people of ff ! Union county the best possible ser- X? ! vice the Union Chamber of Commerce B is inaugurating a War Garden Cam- jij paign for both adults and children. " o The time has come when we can n no longer rely upon other sections, HS of our country to feed us. We must 'Jfw J produce not only all that is needed AT at home, but an excess to help win.*; the great war and relieve the con-JK stant cry for food coming daily fromflx . our fighting forces. j|jR s Spring is dawning upon Us; theSrj time for gardening is at hand andjy~; i everybody with a plot of land larg JKc or small should prepare to nee 1tH<MJr the best possible advantage. The Union Chamber of Gbmmogfajjflx invites every citizen, the ladi^ujwWPf& children to join in thia ^ra^^jjffl- IW paign for food production^H?|co&r servation. Nothing : important. Food, iliullw H|f I npi w i \ ing constitute our greatest needs, and ce this need will continue for several years at least. Here is the tentative *? r plan: 27 , * 28 The Union Chamber of Commerce 1 invites anyone having a plot of land .... in or around the city which they are not intending to use, to make it known to the Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, and to offer same CG for a War Garden for either Juniors CG or Seniors. Ipe The idea is to have about six plots offered in various sections of the city ce for use of the children who will work in groups under the direction of ladies from the Womans' Auxiliary , of the Chamber of Commerce who ce |. will bo supplied with all information necessary regarding details. These g gardens will be in competition or.e with another, and individaul with in- ^ dividual, and records will be kept on pj forms provided for te purpose. pr | It seems possible that the sum of $12.00 ean he secured for prizes, to be divided into sums of $*2.00, $2.00 pr and $1.00 for boys and girls making m | the highest records, and if this amount ean be secured it will be giv- W) ' en in form of credit bank books or Thrift Stamps to encourage saving, ^ At the end of the season it is ex- m pccted that a supper can be arranged m for the young gardeners, composed pf largely of products grown in the War jn > Gardens, and of canned and dried , ? 1,1 fruits and vegetables conserved hv them. Tt is therefore very important ?n at this time to ahve those wiUinsr Qr| ' to donate use of land for the splendid l purpose communicate with the Chamher of Commerce at once. Should a surplus of land be available it will be offered adults having no land of their own and desirous of cooperat- re inp in the movement. Each plot \ worked under this nlan will be plac- i arded WAR HARDEN. WE ARE llEI.riNC, TO WIN THE WAR, in J* order to make known the real pur- j i pose and spirit of the plans. ^ Each rural community is requested i to take up a similar line of work 11 nt wherever feasible and every assist- j ance will be rendered. Individual families are urped to plant sprinp. - r summer, fall and winter pardens of af greater size than ever before. Every assistance possible will be piven " y ^ the Chamber of Commerce, the Farm .^ | Demonstration Apent, Mr. A, Tt. Car- ^ wile, and Home Demonstration . . CO Afent Mis* Alsie Smith.
