PAGE TWO Victory Garden Plan Launched In New Jersey TRENTON — Plans are being made lor a state-wide Victory Garden campaign under the sponsorship of the Office of Civilian Defense Director in cooperation with the State Department of Agriculture, State Extension Service and the College of AOl^pultnfe at Rutpera University. Leonard Dreyfuss, state civilian defense director, announced today the appointment of Dr. Frank Helyar, resident instructor of the College of Agriculture at Rutgers, as chairman of the Victory Garden Committee of the Community War Services Division of the Office of Civilian Defense Director. Dr. Helyar will have a committee to assist him. Local defense councils will be asked to appoint Victory Garden Committees to spur interest in the planting of gardens in all possible unused space. According to report^ seeds for planting will be available in sufficient quantity to meet the demand. “As long as the war lasts our fighting men at the fgont and our allies will need virtually all of the food we now raise in this country. Consequently the food shortages which exist at present prill probably continue unless we can increase the amount cf produce we raise in this country,” Dreyfuss said. “The farms are already faced with a manpower shortage and it is not likely to be alleviated soon. The farmers in spite of the loss of help will continue to produce’ all they can and this will go to the fighting men. We can all pitch *in this spring and summer and help ourselves by raising at least some of the things

we need.

“This does not mean that we have to dig or plow up our front lawns. That will not be necessary. However, there is a great deal of idle Space in this

can be utilized. There

lots, many of which are unsightly, that can be turned into attractive and valuable gardens.” Mrs. Richard S. Bethell, deputy director in charge of CommunityWar Services, said that if the gasoline shortage continued there will be many, unable to drive, who will have leisure time to

uppn

devote to gardening—time formerly spent on the golf course or m pursuit of other pleasures. Dr. Helyar said that as soon as e Victory Garden campaign plans are completed they will be. announced. Meanwhile Local Defense Council chairmen were urged to take immediate steps to name Local Victory Garden Committees so they will be prepared to function and CMEry out the plan as soon as it is unnonuced.
