Responsible Jobs
.Urqed for Veterans

There will be "a great many frus-
trated boys if servicemen trained
to handle responsible military duties
are not permitted to apply their new
skills to equally responsible work in
civilian life, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt
told member of the Junior Board of
Commerce yesterday at luncheon
at the Annapolis Hotel.
She declared it is necessary for
educators to join with employers to
give returning veterans a chance to
work in positions of responsibility
"for which they have been trained in
service"
You cannot give a man maturity
and then have him go back to being
a little boy" she said When a
man is in service. he feels he belongs,
and when he is out of service. he
feels as a stranger among civilians
unless we show him he has a re-
sponsible part in the community"
Mrs. Roosevelt pointed out that a
discharged soldier can no longer go
to servicemen's clubs because he is
out of uniform, and suggested that
clubs be formed for them.
She advised that friends and. FAM
lilies of wounded veterans should
not be unduly sympathetic and thus
make them feel they are. any diff
ferent than before they received
their handicap.

Supplies Too Scarce
To Designate Meat|ess
Days for Washington

Meat and poultry supplies are so
short in Washington that restau-
rants and hotels have given up any
ideas of specifically designating a
meatless day each week, a check
showed today.
I'VE have lots of meatless days
because restaurateurs just can't get
the meat" Robert j. Wilson. ex-
ecutive secretary of the Washing
ton Restaurant Association, re-
ported. I'VE don't see what good
it would do. Our members are oper-
ating their own meatless days"
L. Gardner Moore, president of
the Washington Hotel Association,
pointed out that supplies of chick
ems are so short hotelmen no longer
can depend on this as substitute
for meat. If We don't get the meat,
We have meatless days without hav-
ing to designate any particular day."
he said.
Restaurants on Flexible Plan,
Because of the uncertainties of
deliveries and the problem of find
ing a supplier with meat, restau-
rants now plan their menus on a
day-to-day basis. Mr.. Wilson said.
Many eating places are preparing
what the trade calls meat EXTEND
ers." These are dishes which have
limited amount of meat and a
maximum quantity of such items as
noodles, dumplings, mushrooms and
vegetables.
Here are some of the dishes rec
commended by the National Restau-
rant Association: braised OK joints,
scrambled eggs and new peas, egg
outlet with tomato sauce, creamed
eggs and asparagus en- casserole,
corn and cheese omelet, cheese and
noodle loaf. rice omelet, pork patties,
flank steak with carrot stufflng,
chilli meat balls.
Sugar Stretchers."
The association has another ex-
preston as a product of rationing-
sugar stretchers.' These are des-
sert dishes made with honey, maple
syrup and fruit syrups.
A further suggestion to restaura-
teurs is this: Cheese and crackers
for dessert top off a meal nicely"
1t is also proposed that coffee left
in urns be used in making coffee
jelly or tapioca
One source estimates that Wash
ington eating places are getting only
about so per cent of the amount of
meat they were receiving year
ago. while Mr.. Wilson estimates
that IS per cent of the citys restau-
rants are now serving oleomargarine
at all meals in place of butter.
Restaurants also are pushing
salads, vegetables and even serving
prunes as vegetable, the official
said.
Mr.. Moore said hotels were coast
ing along on what they have at
hand"
If conditions get any worse, hotel
men and restaurateurs say they don't
know what they will have to do
next. Maybe they will suggest an
"eatleSs day."
