Too Late To Clarify
A perspective of what club-
women of Texas are doing in
support of the National war ef-
fort and in homofront defenses
can he given readily by Mrs.
John Perry in her capacity as
War Service chairman of the
Texas Federation of Women’s
clubs.
Early in the year Mrs. Perry
compiled a bulletin title “What
Can I Do?” which was issued
to all women’s clubs in the
state and was included in the
University of Texas extension li-
brary service.
In this bulletin Mrs. Perry
asked that all clubs take as
their objectives “That each
member serve her country in
this time of crisis; that each lie
on the alert, take more interest
in political elections, in educa-
tion, in public office; that under-
standing of war shortages be
stimulated, that they spread the
spirit of patriotism and unity;
that, a study and practice of war
conservation he made; and that
they place homemaking first in
wartime as in peacetime.
Each day brings mail from far
points of t’n'e state and near,
blowing how various clubs have
carric 1 out this program.

Healthful Leafy Vegetables Readily

Raising their own food in
Victory Gardens offers Ameri-
cans an excellent opportunity to
cat more of the healthful lealy
green vegetables in which our
diets are said to be low. Collec-
tively. these vegetables are rich
sources of minerals and- all the
vitamins except D.
Leafy green vegetables re-
quire comparatively little space
for the amount of food they
provide, an advantage that will
appeal to any city gardener.
T! ey do not thrive in hot wea-
ther. but are fine crops for
early spring before other vege-
tables have begun to yield, and
for late fall when the midsum-
mer crops arc gone.
At the top of the leafy green
Jist for small gardens, of cour-
se, is lettuce .It is easy to grow,
and a source of Vitamin A and
two of the P Vitamins. In the
average garden, plantings can
be made in the spring and one
in the late summer. Thus, seed
that cost only a few cents will
supply the family’s needs for a
considerable time. You can plant
lettuce any time in early spring
that the ground is dry enough
to work. It likes rich soil and
plenty of moisture.
