Where and What's the Legion Eating?
Restuurdteurs
Note Lack
OF Business
By Violet Faulkner

For an army that historically
moves on It's stomach, the bat
talions Of the American Legion
have proved Q financial disap-
pointment to Washington res
tauranteurs.
One downtown restaurateur,
still wearing a stricken look after
one Of the worst week ends he
could remember, peered into a
cash register just beginning to
ring today and said: What are
they living ono rations?"
It was the Same mystery up
town and downtown. Robert J.
Wilson, executive vice president
of the Washington Restaurant
Association, said most associa-
ton members explained the
paradox Of slump in the face
Of q city filed with an estimated
10000 Theoretically hungry Wis
itors this way:
Local people anticipated
swarlns Of Legionnaires In the
eating places, and they stayed
away to avoid the rush." But
the Legionnaires weren't enough
to take up the slack of the res
taurants' normal business of IL
million meals a day. The result?
Walters standing around with
no one to wait on.
At the big hotels the story was
the same. Rooms are filled to
capacity but dining rooms have
been almost empty. One hotel
reported 1t was ready to serve
800 meals Sunday night. Only
30 customers showed up between
noon and 10 pm.
It means q big financial loss
to many Of our members" said
Mr.. Wilson, "but there are a
few who are doing better than
usual"
A maitre d. hotel said, I'm
putting out $500 q day for extra
help-waiters, cooks and busboys.
Maybe business will pick up
later in the week."
Coffee shop and drugstore
business has been above normal
on the basis Of numbers of Gus
toners, but managers said the
checks were averaging far below
normal.

1.-THE Dinner Bell Lady" is
what Mrs. B. D, Ward, National
Child Welfare Chairman of the
American Legion Auxiliary. is
known fondly as in Legion cir
Giles.
Mrs. Ward earned this title
through her promotion of the
dinner bell hour" a slogan to
encourage the idea of children
and parents sitting down to at
least one meal a day together.
I'm my home town of King
wood, w. Va" said Mrs. Ward.
81 was Mortified to learn how
many children never saw their
parents at any meal. I feel sure
that such q breaking down of
family ties as this represents
leads to Embellishments and in
securities for the children"
SO Mrs. Ward launched her
campaign which was taken up
all over the country.
