Cut Waste In Moving Food, Hartford Says Eliminatior of waste motion is needed in 1942 to build national health and morale, said John' A. Hartford, president of the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co., in a statement this week. “One of our greatest assets in the world conflict into which we have been plnnged is the health and morale of our people, and a major factor in maintaining that health and morale is food," he t-Ud “In these days of total war, nations, like armies, march on their stomaclis. The speed with which we achieve final victory will be largely determined in 1942 by our ability to produce and distribute the foods essential to national health. “In no field will the complete unity of agriculture and industry be more important tlian in the food field, for America must be the larder as well as the arsenal of democracy. Agriculture is prepared to produce a greater quantity of foodstuffs than this nation has ever known. Already, our armed forces arc getting more and better food than ever before in our national history, but is is equally important that all of our people working and living behind the lines shall be better fed and better nourished. “This means that food distributors have a grave responsibility to redouble their efforts to reduce the cost of moving merchandise from producer to consumer. There must be intensive effort to eliminate spoilage and waste motion in the great effort on which we are embarked. Every effort should be made to reduce unnecessary handling operations and costs. “The experience of chain stores ti«« prepared them for this job. In recent years efficient mass distributors have devised means of moving fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, poultry and dairy products direct from farm to retail outlet with a resultant reduction in the cost to consumers and an increase in the returns to pro-

ducers.

“For example, our own company today is providing food for

For Reserve Force

a air raid alarm' as a backstop to regular fire Oe-

__ the belief that every man and woman in New Jersey earnestly desires to take an active part in the nation’s war efforts, the State Defense Council suggested today that noncombatants could help most effectively by volunteering their services to their Local Defense Councils. Every municipality in the state has a defense council, and every council has a real need for volunteers to carry out a wellplanned, coordinated program that will provide maximum civilian safety in event of air raids, sabotage, or other contingencies,

encies.

There is work to be done by persons in all walks of life. Here are some of the committees authorized to function under each local defense council: air raid precaution, public relations and education, vulnerability, transportation and evacuation, S ol ice reserves, fire reserves, ealth and first aid, decontamination, supplies, commun ications,consumer interests and the committee on demolition, rescue and repair. In many instances, the committees have a sub-committee

or committees.

Personnel needs of the various

sub-divisions follow:

Air raid precaution committee— The chairman of the committee

usually is the chief air raid under 50 warden. Under bim serve district training

is sounded, wardens an charged partment members, with seeing that lights an out or j Decontamination-

Public relations and education— ties might be recruited for this

pi^ftote forums and round-table discussions, or address groups on local defense topics. Vulnerability—Draftsmen and architects can assist in preparation of local maps and charts showing the location of a community's bridges, riven, ponds, railroads, industries, public utilities, sewers, water and gas systems, and other points of

vulnerability.

Transportation and evacuation -Volunteen for personal service and motor vehicles are needed effect an evacuation in event of sudden emergency like an explosion or fire. Experienced drivers, both men and women, can

help.

Police reserves—Men of maturity and judgement are needed for training as reserved to perform regular police duties, should a municipality’s regular police force be needed elsewhere or for em-

ergency duty at home.

Fire reserves—Able-bodied men

-e preferable. After the rudiments of fire

wardens, and under them post prevention and control, they serve

damage to a sewer system. Supplies—Here are needed persons experienced in purchasing iplies and equipment service ts in the fields of police work, medical and other defense acti-

vities.

Communication—Exisiting communication systems, such as “ telephone, may be valueless ii emergency. Committee members not only should look to maintaining existing facilities, but to supplementing them with communication methods such as messenger service, wigwagging and lantern flashing. Consumer interests—Here again the part to be played by women comes to the fore. The committee is concerned primarily with food conservation, promotion of nutritious feeding, elimination of unnecessary price increases, maintenance of quality, and conservation of waste materials such as paper bags, tin, magazines newspapers. Demolition, rescue and repair— Men trained in first aid and rescue methods should work in crews with others skilled in building trades and road repair work.
