FOOD CRITICS

Want Quality and Service, State Restaurateurs Are Reminded.

Men are harder to please than women when they are patronizing a restaurant, W. Rowland Allen, personnel director of L. S. Ayres & Co, told the Indiana Restaurant association at its convention last night at the Antlers hotel. The association will close its annual three-day convention tonight with a banquet at the Indianapolis Athletic club. Demand Good Service “Men are more cranky than women when jt comes to the kind of food and the kind of service they get in restaurants,” Mr. Allen said. “Many men are willing to go to ‘dumps’ in order to get that personal service, “You restaurant operators deal with many intangibles that must be considered. Don’t dlame you® employees; train them. Your waitresses are your salesmen in your business, dealing with diners, and they must be selected carefully, trained efficiently and supervised to represent your ideals. Building the proper esprit de corps among your employees is a prime factor for the success of your business.” Urges Food Saving Miss Mary Dahnke, director of home economics for a Chicago cheese company, told the restaurateurs of the importance of better nutrition as a means of saving food for the fighting forces. “Conservation of food products and the elimination of all possible wastage of foods, plus adapting new food recipes with greater nutritive values, are some of the problems conironting the American restaurant oprrator,” she said.

Down on Chocolate ave., where the brown bunnies form great hip-pety-hop legions and candy-coated eggs are every place to be found, Easter is all but over. Thousands, millions—well, tens of thousands—of the brown creatures have been sent jumping on their way. They'll skitter about, in and out of cracks and crannies, and by April 5, they'll have hidden millions —yes, hundreds of millions—of sweet treasures. Down on Chocolate ave. at Dilling & Co. where all things sweet are made, the Easter orders have been about all filled. Here and there throughout the rambling plant, they're making a few eggs (a few thousand, really) to fill last minute calls. But it’s only a “clean-up” matter. Sugar Supply Cut Despite the sugar ration — the company gets only 80 per cent as much sugar as last month — the Easter business has been good. "Ed Dowling, president, who got started in the candy business when his dad gave him pennies and he hurried, directly to the grocery, reports the brown bunny business particularly encouraging. The tradition of egg hunts, too, he feels, is making a comeback.

people like something sweet on Easter,” he said. Personally, Mr. Dowling himself sponsors an Easter egg hunt annually for the children in the neighborhood of his home at 3649 N. Delaware st. Jimmy, 7, his son, is the main huntsman. For Indianapolis, though, Valentine day is really better than Easter for the candy sellers. In fact, he'd rate the Indianapolis candy days like this: Christmas, Valentine, Mother's day and Easter. Not all towns are like that, he explained. For instance, New Orleans is a “terrific” Easter town and so is Baltimore. Other towns, like Indianapolis, lean to Valentine's day or some other celebration. Aside from the bunny business, Mr. Dowling said that other lines of the candy trade are good. All-day suckers, for example, are now treats for more people than ever before. Even high school youngsters are buying them, he said, whereas the age limit used to be much lower. Also, the practice of a young swain’s taking a box of chocolates to his love is on the uptake. Mr. Dowling has no explanation for this, but somehow he thinks it might be connected with the fact that he probably can’t invite her to going riding any more.

SCHOOL HOLIDAY

Parents of 70,000 Must

Keep Close Vigil to

Prevent Acidents.

By TIM TIPPET

When school closes tomorrow afternoon two things will happen. More than 70,000 children will begin their spring vacation in Indianapolis and traffic and other accident tolls will begin to climb. The accident figures starting at the end of this week will continue to mount until late fall. In the next three months more than 500 children will be injured and probably two or more will die These are facts shown by figures compiled by the school board, the police department and the Chamber of Commerce safety council. * During the last complete school year (1940-41) 1289 children were injured and eight were killed. And these figures do not include the heaviest months (June, July and August). Fear More Fatalities

These figures are made more tragic because there is no indication that the number killed and injured this year will be less. In fact, what indications there are, tend to

show that the number of accidents and fatalities will increase. They are expected to increase bee cause there are more children in the city than there were last year and because many of the children live in defense areas which suddenly have become alive with heavy traffic. Since many of them are not accustomed to the change—accidents will result. Of course, the number of accidents can be kept to a minimum, but only if adults eo-operate fully with the children. Parents could do weil to study some of the figures compiled by safety experts.

Lack of Supervision Costly

For instance, the majority of aecidents, both traffic and otherwise, happen when the child is away from both school and home. Statis-

tics show that 55.4 per cent of all accidents, in school child groups, occur when the children are without supervision, Grade school pupils rank third highest on the list of accident victims, arranged in age groups. (Parents should remember, also, that these are local figures, compiled by experts, and in which every child in the city is taken into account) To illustrate how the accident trend soars upward with the coming of spring, here are the figures for a year ago: 121 pupils were injured in March, 163 in April, and 224 in May. Last summer within a few weeks five children were killed in bicycle accidents.

Accidents in Homes Also

Traffic cannot be blamed altogether for these high figures. Accidents in the home and at play add materially 0 the score. Last year three children died in accidents in the home. Harmless as it may seem, kite flying can and often results in at least one serious injury during the summer months. Sooner or later a kite is caught in a tree, or worse, in a high tension wire, and the flyer climbs up after it only to fall or be badly shocked. But in a study of the accidents which repeat themselves year after vear, one thing is obvious—practically all of them are avoidable,

Parents Can Help

Parents’ intelligent advice and training can save a child from a hospital trip and even death. The safety council, the schools and the police urge parents to supervise play, caution children about playing in the street and crossing in violation to traffic laws. A breakdown of figures on traffic accidents in which children in the 5 to 14 year group are involved show that 49 per cent were injured when crossing streets between intersections; 20 per cent crossing intersections without signals: 4 per cent crossing against the red light and only 3 per cent crossing with the green. Obviously no one can stop children from playing out of doors or flying kites or riding bicycles. No one intends to do that, but a proper campaign of education in the home and emphasis on supervised play can do much in preventing needless tragedies.

GEN. MacARTHUR'S HEADQUARTERS, Australia, March 26 (U. P).—Gen. Douglas MacArthur soon may be asked to decide whether American soldiers should continue to be permitted to marry Australian girls. The marriages have tossed a delicate strategic issue directly into the laps of Gen. MacArthur and his staff, and “some official” stand may be forthcoming. While certain Australian leaders hinted strongly today that a marriage “ban” should be imposed at least for the duration, an American army headquarters spokesman revealed that no instructions had been issued forbidding American service men to marry Australian girls. No estimate of the possible number of marriages is possible because many couples have been married secretly. But the number married publicly has been described as “considerable.” Those proposing a marriage ban point to means of support, immi-

bigamy and transportation to the United States after the war as “only a few of the many problems” involved in such marriages. Furthermore, they said, many of the Australian brides supposedly were engaged to soldiers fighting for Australia on other war fronts.
