will be well worth the most 
strenuous efforts.” In Detroit 
they are using the Commission’s 
posters on the street cars, partic¬ 
ularly to call the attention of the 
factory workers to the need of 
home food production. 
Advertising clubs are assisting 
and here is the text of a resolu¬ 
tion adopted at a recent meeting 
of the Advertising Club of 
Washington: 
KNOWING THAT the production * of 
food is the paramount problem before the 
world today, and 
KNOWING THAT the President of the 
United States has called upon us to help 
feed the people in the stricken areas of 
Europe, and 
KNOWING THAT everything possible 
must be done to produce food as close to 
the place of consumption as* possible, 
therefore 
BE IT RESOLVED by the Advertising- 
Club of Washington that its members co¬ 
operate with the National War Garden 
Commission in its campaign for Victory 
Gardens by using window displays and 
garden copy wherever possible in order 
to carry the message of Food F.O.B. the 
Kitchen Door to the people, and 
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that we 
urge the Associated Advertising Clubs of 
the world to cooperate, and that this 
resolution be sent to them. 
The opening of the home gar¬ 
den drive this year and every 
succeeding year should be cele¬ 
brated by a national holiday. It 
national is a new indepen- 
holiday FOR dence day for the 
gardeners nation; and the 
home soldiers of the soil should 
have some way of expressing the 
freedom which they have found in 
the garden. Of course, there is no 
fixed first planting day through¬ 
out the United States or even 
throughout a restricted territory; 
but some day might be fixed 
which would answer the purpose 
of calling attention in a nation¬ 
wide way to this great institution 
—the home and community gar¬ 
den. Pageants and parades can 
be arranged in the various cities. 
On the last Sunday in March 
the daylight-saving law goes into 
effect again, just in time to give 
the victory gardener the advan¬ 
tage of the extra hour of daylight 
every afternoon, which meant so 
much to him last year and which 
meant the addition of millions of 
dollars to the nation’s garden 
products. 
Are you going to have a part 
in the harvest of victory? Will 
you help to conquer the new en¬ 
emy, Hunger, which is killing 
thousands of people in lands 
across the seas? If you have not 
yet planted a Victory Garden, 
plan to do it today. 
MAY 22 1?
