Use Potatoes
 More Freely
MIRIAM WEINRIB Waterbury Nutrition Council

These are the days that try the skill Of American housewives. Short ages of many standby foods face us. Our problem is how to make out best by using the foods that are avail able and particularly those foods that are in abundance.
 Right now potatoes are plentiful Connecticut gardeners are already harvesting a large crop. What could better substitute for flour and bread while they are scarce?
 From a caloric standpoint, pota- toes make an excellent substitute. Tn addition, they contain many valu- able vitaminS and minerals. Fresh from the garden as they are at this time of year, they have a high vita min c content and they are a good source of vitamins B and G. Their calcium and iron are used by the body for the development of strong bones and teeth and rich blood.
 Farm families have served pota- toes boiled or fried for breakfast for a long time, but few urban homes have adopted the practice. With the shortage Of flour, have you consid- cred serving potato pancakes for breakfast?
 Potato salad can be the hearty dish on the luncheon and supper menus, And what dinner is com- plete without a generous serving of potatoes-friend, baked, mashed, boiled or scalloped?
 Let's adopt the motto Reach for a potato instead of bread" Our na- tive potatoes give it an added mean ing
