CORRESPONDENCE. I We do not hold ourselves responsible fot th* opinions of our correspondents. To the Editor. AN APPEAL. Sir,- May I ask you to insert the following appeal in your paper, The Central Joint V.A.D. Committee of the British Red Cross Society, the Order of St. John of Jerusalem and the Territorial Force Association, anticipate in the near future that large demands will be made upon [them to supply General Service V.A.D. members for work iu fIita y Hospitals at home and abroad. We are anxious, therefore, to obtain' a large waiting list of suitable applicants The rates of pay and the terms of service are the same for the General Service V.A D. members as for the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps, the difference between the two bodies being that the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps work for combatants, while the V.A.D. mem- bers only work for the sick and wounded in our hospitals and with Ambulance Units. Applications should be sent to the Secretary, Rect-Liiting Section, Joint Women's V.A.D. Dept. Devonshire, House, Piccadilly, W.I., from whom all further information can be obtained. Yours faithfully, ARTHUR STANLEY, Chairman. FOOD ECONOMY. To the Editor. -Sir,- In every agricultural district where crops are raised and food is pro- duced and seen ptssing abundantly from the farm to the distributor, there is a very natural tendency to imagine that there is an abundant public supply. Therefore, while thanking you for the publicity which you have so generously accorded the Food Economy Campaign hitherto, I wish to make a special ap- peal to your readers to remember that it is of the utmost importance that all classes should unite in an urgent and drastic effort to save the country's food. The urgency is brought about not only by the world shortage and the de- predations of the U boats, but by the general lack of tonnage, necessitated by the employment of so many ships to guard our coasts and to supply our armies in the field. To us, shortage of ships means shortage of food. With the case t bus plainly stated, I make no apology for forcing on the at- tention of all your readers the absolute necessity for each one faithfully to watch the flour bin, the garden plot, the cupboard and pantry, the kitchen and the table, in order that be or she may discover where the particular sav. ing of each may be best effected. One person may be able to economise in milk, batter, tea; another in meat, bacon, cheese, j:, m, eggs; a third in dried fruits, tinned goods, lard, etc.; and all alike by saving to Lbeir utmost individual capacity on bread and by substituting wherever possible garden produce for such foods as are urgently required by people in the manufacturing towns and by our soldiers in the field. Use with economy those foods with which you are blessed as producers, so that munition makers and manufac- turing districts generally may receive, together with our troops, the full bene. fit of all our imports and home products. It is, only by these little individual sacrifices (hat we can hope to over- come, the general deficiency, and in doing so we can always feel that we are taking -our share of the hardships en- dued by our heroic kinsfolk who are sacrificing their all. a, Yours faithfully, ARTHUR K YAPP. Ministry of Food, "Orosvenor House, W. 1.
