How all The People ( an Help All
'I Im Time to \\ in the War.
To establish closer contact between
the people ami tin- Slat.- Council of
i >efen o ami t he Woman's I divisions
the best working plan has been round
the Community Council, a small unit
established in each school district.
Tin- Council oi National Defensi
reaches tin- state council, the State
Council reaches tin- County Council:,
und tin- County Councils, through the
Community Councils establish direct
contact with every city, town ami
hamlel almost into every home in
tin- counlry.
According to the plan foi Com?
munity Councils, each school district,
each township or each precinct i
made a working member Of a nation
lighting for a noble cause. The task
oi ilu- war needs Hu- winde energy ol
every man, woman and child in tIii:
country. The Community Council
makes personal contact with everj
citizen possible, ami its development
mean-; the effective mobilisation oi
the nation behind the war.
The State Councils are operating
under the direct supervision of the
War Department ami the National
Council ami individuals working In
Community Councils under the direc
tion of County Councils are as much
in the service of the country as the
SOldlers in uniform and may feel thai
the government appreciates all the:
do.
The mam purpose of the entire or
ganization of the Council of Defensi
is to cooperate with the government
Phe demands on the State's resources
Agencies and Institutions bocomi
rreater each day. To meet these de
uiamls it is necessary to prepare i;
the most comprehensive way and t<
he last detail.
Local emergencies can best he me
by local action. The Commlinltj
'outsells make it practical to car'1

A Message Wrect Prom The National
Council oi' l>efcnoo?
To The People oi Sumter County:
The following hoe just been re?
ceived direct from the Council of
National Defense ami the Advisor]
Com mitten of tin* Council at Wash?
ington
Thrift ami lteouomy.
The Council of National Defense
and the Advisory Commission of the
Council believe thol a concerted effort
lor economy by the people of the ns
tldn will not <tni' go far toward pay?
ing America's expense in the war
but will also reduce consumption or
raw and manufactured materials es?
sential to the conduct of the war.
The Council in ges all to refrain
from unnec essary expenditures of ? v
ery kind, and to hear constantly In
mind that only one thing Is now of
real Importance, ami that is the win?
ning of the war.
The nation's resources in man-pow?
er, money, transportation, food stuffs,
row materials and fuel, have already
been subjected to heavy strain, and
it is tin- clear duty of every citizen to
guard against Increasing this strain
by a single wasteful act.
it is most creditable for everyone
?man and woman, hoy and girl to
be economical in die--, food and man?
ner of living. Every evidence of help
fur self-denial on the port of all in a
time like this is most commendable.
This war is more than a conflict
between armies; it Is a contest In
Which every man, woman and child
con and should render real assistance.
Thrift and economy are not only a
itrlotic privilege, they are a duty.
