British Native Arrives Here
Tuesday After Rough Trip
Across Atlantic
Food Rationing More Severe in
England Now Than During
War Years

Buttons first English war bride,
the former Miss Marie Cullen, of
Grimsby, Lincolnshire, England, has
found American living standards
considerably different from those in
her homeland, she said after arriv-
ing here Tuesday with her husband,
Harry ]. Shrider, of North Jack
son street.
Mrs. Shrider was met in New
York City by her husband, when she
arrived last Saturday morning on
the liner, Saturnia, after rough
voyage across the Atlantic.
The attractive brunette, accus-
toned to wartime shortages in Eng
land, has been particularly impressed
by the abundance of food Americans
enjoy.
FooD SHORTAGE PINcHES
She said that in England food
rationing now actually is more Sc
we're than during the war, and that
clothing, also on the ration list,
remains very scarce.
No fruit juices of any kind are
available, bananas in limited guam
titles are available only for those
under Is years of age, and when al
rare intervals oranges and lemons
are obtained they too are reserved
for children only.
England has nothing at all to
compare with our country's abund.
ance of household appliances, and
electrical refrigeration, common here
is virtually unknown in British
homes. She said that ice refrigera
tion also rarely is used in England
and that food is kept cool in base
ments for preservation.
FIRST Ice CREAM
The English now are enjoying
their first ice cream in five years
but it is of the powdered variet,
and does not compare with thai
available in this country.
Bombed-out districts rapidly ar,
being cleared, but construction in M
way is keeping pace with the critica
demand for additional housing.
In England, Mrs. Shrider wa,
manager of ladies ready-to-weal
shop,
She and her husband met at {
Red Cross center in Grimsby, wher,
Shrider was stationed with the u
S. Eighth Air Force.
