Food Administration.
Washington, d. c.
Dear Edith:
1t was one thing to learn how to
use the ordinary leftover, but when
it came to enforcing the clean
plate" rule-that was another matter.
l didn't discuss this angle of the
problem when talking to Jack and the
children in getting them to stop say
ing 81 don't like" and II can't eat"
so that it was quite a surprise to me
when our dear retiring Margaret Of
fered quick solution. She doesn't
usually say much. but she does a lot
Of thinking in that wise sixteen-year-
old head Of hers!
"Of course food left on our plates
can't be used again, which leaves no
way out except to see that there is no
such thing" she suggested.
Whereupon Jack giggled apprecia-
lively.
fright you are, Kittens!" he assur-
ed her, but looked to me for a definite
plan
How stupid of mel / exclaimed, a
bit ashamed that l had been puzzled
by so simple problem.
Il had not quite understood why
the Food Administration was asking
US to make smaller rolls and mullins,
and to serve smaller cuts of butter
and meat, but now that l think Of the
half-eaten rolls, pieces of meat, and
other food that finds its way into the
garbage can via our individual plates,
it's all very clear told thin.
Whereupon we agreed to a return to
that old custom which considered it a
mark of ill-breeding to leave food on
the plate, and made a new command
ment, to wit: Take no more than you
intend to eati
AS my share of carrying out this
program, / shall. of course, see that
rolls and mullins are smaller; that
slices of bread are cut thin and cut on
the table as required; and that no
one is over-served. Let them ask for
more if they want it.
Formerly the family has turned up
its nose at combinations or left-overs.
but now that they have all primised
to stand by me it's going to be much
easier and l strongly suspect that the
advantage to Jacks pocketbook is go
ing to be such that he will be as eager
as lam to make the war program one
for life, especially since it means in
telligent planning rather than any
bug-a-bo Of skimping.
Isn't it an inspiring thing-this won
derful plan for the mobilization Of
American women?
Love to you and yours always, from
FRANCES.
