A. Forrester, Publisher THIE BOMBER PRESS IN GREAT BRITAIN (Continued fin page one) Food, and everyoue over there aeems conv'inced that lie bas dorue a mar- vellous job. In fact n'hat he bas doue is one of the big accomplîsh- ienta of the wam, for hie lias taken jthe worry of insufficient food an'ay frorn the people. They now kuon' that ai they have to dIo is to go to- storeý n'here they are regiastemed, band over tibeir coupons and the food wil ,b~e there. Even duing the worst of the blitz. Lord Woolton's department neyer failed to deliver tbe mýations. The eitors had a confemence -witbi te Minister of Food on Septemriber 4 16th, and -were greatly impressed with 'bis a1bility and sincerity. H1e extended bis thauks to Canadianis for- fheim assistance in feeding Bi - tain, and expressed bis appreciation for the restrictions wvuhich Canadians litad imposed u-pon themselves, la or- dem to hbelp Brîtain. Importa of food frorn Canada are -ap over 40 per cent. The Ministry r-f Food buys all that la imiported iuto ýBritain, sud oversees; the distri7 bution aud price. The -Ministry endeavours te main- tain a standar d of nuitrition, and te this end scientists are at work, all the time tryiug te provide a proper suppiýy of calories and vitarins througit substitutes. The nee-dsý of chilien and the sick, are especially provided for. Lord Woolton said, 'It is the children who n'ill have to dcean Up this mess, and tbey must gron' Up streng." Tihe rbeat way to niti morale, Lord Woolton believes, is to keep -thbe people n'el fed, and in thiis he is s uceedC ing iu a wonderful way. Canteens anid Restaurants Part of his :plan teo keep the people s well focd nas the establishment of rcanteens lantihn langer factories, the supplyîug of food to arnaller factor- ses, and the British Restaurants, sornetimes called 'Wooltoni's Res- taurants," te provide meals where santeens are net prac-tical. The ivuanhe-- of thesze restaurants nearlyý doubIed ln 1942 and the meais ser- yod arnount te a staggering figure. tater the Caniadian editors n'ere taken te some of these restaurants for- a mneal, and hand soup, meat and vegetabies, pudding and tea for a -bshiing and f ourpence. Most cf tilie G'ihelp la voluniteer. It is ne w'onder ithat tbere are non' neýarly '20f00 of r' these estatblishments. Une f actory canteen n'iceh n'e ~visited n'as :a miarvel of cleanlineas and efficieney, and ccclii serýve 1200 'meals lu twelve minutes. Changig the Public Diet Lord Woolton belie.ves tihat lie is Teri-i-anently ehanging the public ehet. The people are learning n'hat is good f or them te eat, and n'ill ooitinue to ea on ore -vegetaleIs and elieesû even afer pienty of aîl kinds üof foodistuffs will be available. Tbeyý are aIso learnin-g býow te prepanel food i hetter n'ays. The result of1 al! thîs la that tho health of the peo- ple is lbetter thýan it ever bas been before. As our conference drew te a cloDse, ene of the Canadian, editors nsked hlm n'a n'as goiug te happea after tiwar. Aflter a few m-omientýs of Y hotight, Lord Woelton replieid, "Weil I arn geing te have a niice, thiek, The Points Systen ;eSehlling food on peints -%vas design- ~ed prinmarily te control the distribu-] tie'n and suapply of foods widh are ,Det rationedI. Points for- certain foodý(s are raised ýor lewered as the available suppiy goes up or don'n. If 'onù lice is seflingl tco freeiy, tbý -rumiber of points necessary te pur- -Chase that foýod is increased, and the demnand faîls off. If some nen' food is avaibie, but is neot ýprovingl popular enough, th e riumber of peints is reduced. Ia this 'way the use cf a c2ertain brandý - f pressed ham n'as inicreased until lt but we'll get him tomorrow on some- thing else.", Between ùhe ationing and the points, the queues n'hich righit have eoea problen have beeýn ab- solutely eliminated. The only que- Lies which we saw all the tirne we n'ere in Eng-land were at tbeatres and bus stops. Threy tell a good story about the queues. At one timne if a shopper saw a queue she n'ould jOin uip, nith the idea that there must be some- thing good for sale. One day' a queue formed in front of a theatre and stretchied aroor-d the cornerý. A woman saw this long queue and joined u-11 at the Cend of it. After a few minutes she asked the man in front of hem, "WAhat'have hey got t odlay ?" "TFhe Tales of Floffm-ian," "Howv do you cook thern?" 'she en- quired. The-Quieen'si esener Lord -Woolton praised the wornen n'ho are knon'n as the "Queenr' s Mesegrs" an orgaunizatIon of wornen -voluniteers who ýgo inito blit zed areas and hielp- in thie ernergency canteens. 0cr beloved Queen is the head ef theoraiton Wherevei there la a raid whic!h causes damage, a mobile canteen n'ith some of the Que' Messezrs" is se-inimme- diately to feedc the people. These m-esseng-ers n'ith their food and chuee is proof that someonme is look'ing' af- ter, them. Shipping is the greatest concemu iiof Lord Woolton, and se e2very effot is mad(e to provide food that does rot have to be hrougt in Ibv ship5,, with the maiximumii- nutrition value. or to use the rnost concentrated food That Ia why powdvered egg-s are so vaintaible, for it iasaid that 80 tons Df dried egg-s are equal in food value to 2,100 tons of feedstuff foi T'he, imargarine is nron'so reinfor- ced with vitarinis thýat its nuitritive, v-alue, is equal to that of butter.. At ou(, ýhotel, we suspected by the qujan- tity s'erveud that it 1was margarýine iastead of butter, -and on .enir(Liy weý were righit. We poal often were served margrine -witlhoutkoin Hotel meals are lîmited to three courses and the priee ceiling is lirve shillings, but la sorte cases,ý ser- vice charges are allowed. At our, London, hotel, the ýprice of the dinneri was five shlillingÏs, but, the serviý7ce ,charge n'as seven shillings aiid six- pence, and a charitge for the orc(hestra n'as two shillîings and sixpenice, bringing t 'he cost of the mi-eal up to flfteen hilng. Hocwever, thýes servicechre are also under r-egu- lation. 'Whýile Britaini's dieýt bascane and maniy itemus of' food are diifficult ýor ipsil to dbtain, Br-itisb ipeoý- pie have suffieient wholesomne fend. thnnks to Lord Woolton. It is no wonder that everybody admuires the job he iýs doing. IN SPITE 0F CROCKODILE TEÂRS SHED BY EDITORS 0F, CITY NEWSPAPERS FOR OUR POOR FARIMERS It is beginning to dawn on sm of us Omono so called white col- lared'" class how much smarter, more efficient. labor saving and hetter finance ministers our farýmer's are than we are. In the past fifty or sixty years only tbýree ýbusinessmïnen in Orono, have saved enough mi-oney to retire and they had to wait until they were seventy to eighty iyears old to do so, whilýe in the same tirne there have been bundreds of metired tlarmeTs move into Orono hetween fifty and sixty years of aýgpewith ten t-o fifty thousands of dollars in gev- emaiment bonids. Somnelao savers are more effi- cient than otbérs. One day w1hen Fred Brimiaeombe and Fred, TrutlI -were in the barbershop, Fýred Bim- acomýnbe was asked if he was milking any 3(ows. 11e said he n'as just milk- inig ouie and that- what they didn' use themselýoves they fed to the caîf.
