THE JEWISH CHRONICLE
The Jewish Woman
A BIG TASK BUT NOT IMPOS-
SIBLE.
(Specially prepared for the Jewish
press by Jewish representative in the
office of Food Administration.)
The task undertaken by the U. S.
Food Administration is certainly big
enough to fire the imagination. Think
of attempting to reach persuasively into
twenty million kitchens, or, to put it
another way, into every household in a
nation of a hundred and ten million
people. That is one stupendous propo-
sition that is actually and seriously
made. Think of doing this in an inten-
sive drive of six days! That also is
not only proposed, but being arranged
for in most systematic and thorough
fashion. To accomplish the placing of
a Food Conservation home pledge card
in every family, the Federal Food Ad-
ministrator in each state, working in
close co-operation with the U. S. Food
Administration, will use every available
means. With this enrollment campaign
in charge of the State Food Adminis-
trators, the churches have nothing to do
except in the way of inspiration, and of
endorsement. The enrollment drive is
to begin on the morning of October 22.
Sunday, October 21, will be in a sense
Food Conservation Day in all the
churches and synagogues of the country,
if they respond to the patriotic call
made upon them. To all congregations
the claims of Food Conservation will be
presented and the home pledge card
program described so the people will
know what is coming, and be ready to
respond. It will also be made known. on
that day that the weekly report cards
will be distributed so that every family
in every church and synagogue and con-
gregation may be prepared to begin
record-keeping on the following Sunday,
the 28th. For, as this implies, there are
two distinct things in mind.
First, the plan is to enroll as mem-
bers 'of the United States Food Admin-
istration every housewife or woman in
charge of a family. To all members a
house card will be given, to hang in, a
front window, so that every passer-by
may know where that family stands on
a patriotic issue. This enrollment is to
be made by the government.
Second, to the churches has been com-
mitted the task of placing the .weekly
report cards in every household con-
nected with church and congregation, so
that when the returns are made, the
Food Administration may have accurate
data, covering three months, as to the
actual extent to which the conservation
has been carried. To make this work

possible, it is proposed that every church
and synagogue have a live committee
that will look after the distribution and
collection of the weekly report cards,
hunt up the slackers, and make the three
months' report program a success. In
churches where the pastors can best
look a fter such matters, of course they
would be the agents. But that the re-
ligious bodies of America will not fail
to put their part of this big job through,
is the confident belief of the Food Ad-
ministration.
Impracticable and impossible, says the
ready critic. But there is nothing im-
practicable and impossible about it, if
once we get our people to see the neces-
sity and significance of this simple plan.
For it is simple. Its size alone makes
it seem appalling. Here is a chance for
every individual to do a real war bit.
The housewife or head of the household
will perhaps make out the report, but
every member of the family will have
part in making the record. When it is
made plain to the boys and girls that a
wheatless or meatless or wasteless meal
helps just that much to win the war,
that will be a spur to patriotism. Meals
will have a new zest, and •the marvel
will be that it was not realized before
how amazingly good and tasty cornmeal
mush and Johnny-cakes and bran muf-
fins are; how much more taste there is
to oatmeal when the sugar is left off,
and a pinch of salt put on ; and how
much better one feels when he has eaten
fish instead of red meat because he
wants that meat to go to the soldiers
who are fighting his battles.
JEWESS IS REFUSED TEACH-
ING POSITION BECAUSE OF
RELIGIOUS PREJUDICE
Trenton, N. J.—An investigation is be-
ing made by the State Department of
Education of charges that the Board of
Education of Medford township, Bur-
lington county, has discriminated
against Miss Lottie Berman, of Sterling,
because she is a Jewess. Information
before the State board is that C. J. Gar-
wood, secretary of the Medford board,
offered Miss Berman a position as a
seventh-grade teacher, "provided you
are not a Catholic or a Jewess."
Garwood has admitted that he was di-
rected to pass this word to Miss Ber-
man. He says that a very large ma-
jority of the residents are not in favor
of "employing either Catholics or Jews."
John Enright, Assistant State Com-
missioner of Education, has written to
the Medford board that the state de-
partment will pursue this case "until
complete recession from the position
taken shall be made • by the Medford
Board of Education."
