MISS RUTH BENBOW HEADS PULASKI CLUBS

In remitting for another year’s subscription L. W. Benbow writes a very pleasant letter in which he states that their daughter, Ruth, who is now fourteen years of age has completed the first year in the Winamac high school and is president of the boys’ and girls’ clubs of Pulaski. That she is doing her work well is proved by the following clipping from the Winamac paper: “Dear Club Members—You nd doubt know the objects in canning much more this.summer than usual; the governipent needs so much more this year than ever before for our soldiers and also for our allies. “To preserve freedom we must conserve food. The government will take more this year of the canned products of the canning factories, so all the products that are to be consumed at home must be canned at home. “Always before there has been lots of garden truck gone to waste, and all 'because there was no immediate need for it. This year we don’t want a thing wasted. Everything should and must be canned because there is a good sale for all the products canned above those for home use. “To win this war we must have all the food and send it over to our allies who need it very much. We must also keep our soldiers strong and healthy so they can be victorious. Sincerely yours, (Signed) RUTH BENBOW, Pres. Monroe Twp. Canning Club.”
