Memphis Women Taboo
Pink Teas This Yen,
Preferring the Garden
MEMPHIS, Tenn., March 6.—
“There will be no pink teas in Mem¬
phis this Summer, but such social af¬
fairs will give way to garden lawn
parties,” said Mr. T. F. Kelley, secre¬
tary of the "Feed Memphis Commit¬
tee” today in discussing the plans of
that body.
Plans have been completed and the
city has been thoroughly organized
for carrying out a big home food pro¬
duction campaign here this year* Four
minute women speakers, motion pic¬
tures, posters ana window decorations,
buttons bearing • the slogan “Feed
Memphis” and a spade in the centre,
and other means have been adopted
for boosting the movement. Posters
and a supply of garden instruction
books have just been received from
the national war garden commission
of Washington, Mrs. Kelly announc¬
ed, and a motion picture showing
what the war gardeners have done in
other cities will be loaned by the com¬
mission for use here.
“The garden spirit in Memphis is
flourishing,” said Mrs. Kelly. "The
city has been 'divided into communities
with a “Feed Memphis” sub-commit
tee in every neighborhood, each sub¬
committee to be composed of five
men with the chairman a member of
the central committee. Plowmen with
teams wil report to headquarters and
the local chairman will supply them
with lists of gardens to be plowed in
one section so as to save lost
The home food growers, our
gardeners, will be supplied with
struction books which we have receiv¬
ed from the national war garden
mission. ijeed will be furnished to
those who cannot afford to pay
it. In place of pink teas the Memphis
women will amuse themselves this
summer by having garden lawn par¬
ties."
