Dear Cooperator:

The women of America have been called upon to do an
important job. It is to make our country strong by making
every American stronger. This means to make them more
sturdy in body, steadier in nerves, and surer in living.
Better food for everyone is one of the first things needed
to do this. Science can tell us what is needed for adequate
nutrition, but recent studies show that we have millions of
people who are underfed.

The program, "Food For Fitness", which is enclosed has
been prepared to help groups in studying the nutrition
problems in their ow communities. What keeps people from
being well fed, and what can be done about it.

We should like very much to know how your group is
approaching this problem. After your discussion on "Food
For Fitness", will you fill out the enclosed card and return
it to me. No postage is required.

Very truly yours,

Cn / Deo
