THE FOOD FRONT
“A Fifth Grade Worker” (Richmond) writes stating that a great many Grade 111 (and lower) men are working long hours in order to assist in keeping up the food supplies of the fighting forces,
and do this gladly although they know it is detrimentally affecting their health. He thinks it only fair and reasonable to ask that the Air Force should send out about 300 men and women to help in pea-picking and thus keep up supplies and prevent waste. 238 PEAPICKERS FROM TOWN A total of 238 peapickers travelled from town to-day to assist in harvesting the green pea crop. It is expected that there will be a larger jiumber to-mor-row.
