launching their own all out cam

know that the trade, as we'll as
the public and the government, will
greatly appreciate any support
you can give this joint program.
The following grocery stores here
in Wilmington are donating tn e
groceries at the booth: The Gro
certeria, The Big Star Store, A. l..
King Market Street, The A & P

OF course, we're going to give John
ny the good meals he wants when
he comes home! But in the mean.
time we must see to it that every
body at home gets good nourishing
meals three times a day.
Mother, perhaps dad will walk
you down to the booth and try
his hand at winning a bag of gro.
ceries by answering few simple
questions. this will be fun.
and also view the movie-all in
technicolor too. Making Ends
Meet he will like this!
The army mess sergeant speaks
of improvising, mother, he is just
learning what you have known for
a long time, Ell? Believe we can
teach him a few things even now
with all this rationing we have
been confronted with. But, army
cooking and home cooking have
much in common. In both places
proper balance is a vital necessity.
In both it is often necessary to
use aternates for scarce or I'M
available foods. A good Army mess
sergeant gets along on what he
has on hand, turning his imagina
ton loose on improvising.
The perils of monotony threaten
b o t h Army and home kitchens.
