~ Shopping for the Small Family . Is a More Difficult Task Today

PLOTTING THE BEST USE of meat ration points for the family of only two takes thought. Having less leeway than those who have more of the precious red stamps, you must plan to buy more exactly. The first job is to estimate the amount of butter, margarine and

other fats you need for the week.

Between % of a pound to a pound

is considered a fair average consumption per person and until you

IN THIS COLUMN I am replyIng to several young women who have approximately the same problem. All have written me confidential letters which they do not wish published in detail. All are girls from 17 to 19 years old who have married boys who are in the army and stationed far from home. After being separated from their "husbands for several months the girls are overwhelmed by a feeling of unreality about the whole thing. The memory of their husbands has grown a little dim. They do not feel married at all, only lonesome

XY And neglected.

. They sit around without dates and without the compensation. of a strong tie to the boys they have married. At first they lived on the excitement of letters but now even letters are few and far between. Mail is delayed. They don’t hear for weeks and then get a bunch of “ Jetters all at once. Most of them have succumbed to the temptation of having other dates in order to break the monotony. Some have found boys they like better than the ones they married. One has become involved with & married man and incurred the enmity of his wife. Another is filled with fright because a friend has threatened to write her husband and tell him about her conduct. She wants to know whether or not she should write first and confess. Her husband’s letters are still full of love and trust. She thought she loved him once and might again if only she could be yith him, 3 8 8 =a : THESE ARE TYPICAL situations which result: from the hasty war marriage. They arise so often that young men have been advised to fight first and marry afterward. This advice does not apply to young people who were engaged before the war and had a chance to build up a relationship strong enough to last. Nor ‘does it apply to those who

¥ have met since the war and have

the character to wait until their affection has stood the test of separation before they marry. The only décent thing for these young war wives to do is to live up to their ‘bargain after they have made it. It means the renunciation of dates and the good times normal to their age, but they should force themselves to do it, As for upsetting the soldier who is trying to fight, with confessions, my opinfon is that they should rot do it. Meddlesome friends may threaten but the chances are they won't carry out their threats. People have been urged over and over again " not to burden the boys with trouble back home. A tattling letter from a friend might be regarded as gossip by a soldier, but a confession from his wife leaves no room for doubt. Romance alone cannot make a marriage. Only a relationship which is made up of mutual interests and shared experiences has & chance to endure. Since these young women did not possess the self-discipline to postpone immediate desires when they married, it is doubtful that they will be willing to postpone new desires [until the boys come home. I only can hope they will try. - J. JORDAN. Put your problems in i letter to Jane Jordan, who will answer your questions in this column daily, :

WARTIME RECIPE

experiment it is wise to allow a pound’ for each so as not to run short. The number of points. you spend will depend upon your choice of varieties, of course. Figuring on a quarter-pound each for table use, butter will take- four points out of the original 32. A half-pound of lard for ‘cooking costs two points; a pound of shortening and salad oils would take another five or six points, depending on your choice. These fats would total 12- points then, leaving 20 points for meat, cheese and other items that require red stamps. The simplest plan of apportioning these points is to concentrate on four or five meat main dishes during the week and serve substitutes for the other dinners, » ” ”

Optional Dishes

YOU COULD HAVE broiled chicken for -dinner on Sunday; curried or creamed eggs Monday; fish on Tuesday; béef Wednesday; liver Thursday; fish or eggs Friday and baked beans Saturday. Wednesday's beef, Thursday's liver, the salt pork for Saturday’s

points. Allowing four points for one-half pound of bacon, three for one-half pound of liver. and two for the pork leaves 11 points, ample for beefsteak at eight points: a pound or chops at seven. Any extra points might well be saved toward next week’s fat purchases so that you can buy a larger quantity and be assured of a supply at hand. Or you may prefer to select a low-point meat for one of the substitute meals.

: 2 2 2 Your Shopping List THE NEW YORK state war council . nutrition service has compiled a shopping list for one week’s meals for a family of two, including luncheons, that gives point values for all rationed foods. Breakfasts are hearty, include cereal and milk or eggs as well as fruit, toast or pancakes, ceffee. Luncheons consist ‘of soup and salad, egg dishes or vegetable plates. Dinner main dishes are cabbage rolls, curried tripe, creamed codfish, chop suey, oyster stew, baked beans in onion cups, stuffed lamb chops. The shopping list follows: i Points 12 pound American cheese 4 1. pound butter 4 % pound lard, shortening, oils 12 pound chopped meat 1% pound tripe 1% pound lean pork % pound leaf lard 1 pound lamb chops %2 pound sausages

Total juny Non-rationed foods include: 7 pounds green leafy or yellow vegetables 6 pounds white or sweet potatoes 4 pounds other vegetables 4 pounds citrus fruits and tomatoes 3 pounds other fruits 7 quarts milk : 1% pound soft perishable cheese 1 dozen eggs 1 pound codfish 12 pint oysters ; 6 pounds cereals and bread 14 pound peanut butter Only two items requiring blue stamps are named, these being onehalf pound each of dried beans afid dried prunes or raisins.

three counts are: Appetite appeal; nourishment; provision of needed amounts and proportions of energy foods to carry through till lunch-| time.

other cereal products and fats. Foods that are body-builders, need-

in the family, include meat, eggs, milk, cheese, and fruits which pro-. vide vitamins. : How much to eat for breakfast depends somewhat on your morning’s activity. Growing, active children and grown-ups who do active work in factory, on a farm, or around the house need hearty breakfasts. So do elderly people, if they take light evening meals as many older persons prefer to do. ” ” ” OFFICE WORKERS and others who sit at work may not need quite so hearty a breakfast, but they must remember to balance their daily food budgets by getting, plentiful lunches and dinners of the right kinds of foods. Fruit is a good breakfast starter because it is refreshing and appetizing and also because it may supply much of the day's. vitamin C needs. For these reasons, citrus fruits and tomato juice are popular breakfast starters. Home canned and dried fruits, fresh apples and pears, applesauce or baked apples, and bottled cranberry, grape and apple juice have a place on the breakfast menu if the day’s vitamin C supply is taken care of at some

For the cereal and bread part df the meal, the important rule is to make these whole grain or enriched. Breakfast is a good time to eat the daily or every-other-day egg called for by the national nutrition yardstick. @ When meat, fish or poultry are eaten at breakfast, this will provide all or part of the day’s allowance for these foods, On such a day one of the meat alternates, such as dried beans, peas or cheese, may be served for dinner. - As to the breakfast drink, it’s milk for the children, and for
