Food Facts No.99 Bread into battle

176 BREAD INTO BATTLE 4 THIS WEEK'S FOOD The housewife deserves a big bouquet for the part she is play- ing in the War effort, but she's falling down on one thing — perhaps she thinks it trifling— the daily waste of bread.

Even if the daily waste of bread is as little as half an ounce per head of the population: that means a waste of fifteen loaves a second, and thirty shiploads of flour in a year—a whole convoy! Bread into Battle? Yes, indeed —and that's why every half-ounce CRUMBED PRUNES saved is half the battle.
