The Housewives Economy Calendar
=By Frances MArshaIl:

treat their sons all their lives like
babies. No wonder that the boy
whose mother usually hOvers about
him as he eats his breakfast soil
citously asking him whether his
coffee is 'just right" and whether
the cereal is just thick enough ami
whether the egg is perfect, takes Il
hard when he tackles camp fare
Ii there are Jumps i'm the cereal the
mother scoIds the cook and rre-s
all day, or if she made il herself she
assures the lad that she will not be
so stupid as 10 let the cereal get
lumpy in the future
So there are several sorts Of eff
cheney. There is the efficiency THAI
provides nourishing and substantial
food and a wholesome home atmos-
phere. This is the efficiency of the
mother and wife who takes a real
interest in having the cogs of her
domestic machinery we'll oiled and
smoothly running. There is the eff
cheney that regards food as some
thing that must and shall not be
wasted and the buying and using of
food not a private, individual enter
prise but part of a great nation al
undertaking. And there is the eff
cheney Of the mother who-knowinc
that the world is what il is and thai
the millennium has not even dawned
as yet-brings up her son as a 20
tential soldier.
