They served rice with gravy

However. l couldn't help re-
calling dispatches sent from
Berlin after war had been in
progress in Europe but had not
yet involved uS.
According Ia correspondents,
hungry customers In restaurants
were given all the boiled pota-
toes they wanted 10 fill up on.
when everything else was scarce,
they still had lots of potatoes.
Speaking Of food somebody
recently asked US whether IT

In the wake of the current
