No Colored Eggs for
Easter, Says Barnard

Easter need not be eggless, but nc
eggs should be colored and thereby
rendered unfit for food. Nor should
any family regard itself justified be-
cause of the occasion in consuming
more eggs than they would ordinari
ly." This regulation was issued today
by Harry e. Barnard, federal food ad.
ministrator for Indiana.
The regulation came as a result of
an inquiry from Frederick Glass, a
manufacturing confectioner. of Madi-
son. Mr.. Glass announced his will
lingness to forego his annual practice
of coloring several cases of eggs" if
coloring them were contrary to the
food administration policy. He was
informed that the food administration
does frown on this and all other forms
of waste.
