Indiana Women Mobilize for Food Administration War Effort
The 400 000 plus Indiana women pledge to join United States Food Administration clubs organized by county and township. County presidents appoint committees to run local food clubs, with women delivering pledges, distributing cards, and promoting nutrition drives in each district. The plan mirrors wartime mobilization, aiming to inform households within twenty four hours of important messages from Dr Barnard and to coordinate county by county food campaigns statewide.
