Fighting Inflation
With a Home Garden
Remember the victory gardens
many people operated during the
last world war?
We’re now engaged in another
war, the war against inflation. If
we should lose this battle the
consequences will effect the lives
and futures of all of us.
Citizens, with the necessary
facilities for gardening, find they
can substantially reduce their
food budget, have available for
consumption a higher quality of
garden produce and in addition
receive some healthful exercise
as a fringe benefit from their
leisure time thus spent.
With more food available from
home gardens the demand for
commerically produced foods
will lessen, which should act as a
brake to our rapidly accelerating
food prices.
For those who are not ex
perienced gardeners, Penn State
University offers a correspon-
Washington Boro RDI. Mrs.
Barbara Nissley, Society 23
member and a registered nurse,
will assist Columbia physician
Dr. David W. Weinberg, who is
volunteering his time for this
community service, especially
important to rural people.
