Ckry as h.s deffjt) BUSTOft HEATS m DOUGLA LAMCV Staff Crmn.'Nbid WASHINGTON Do yni lie eggs? Let's hope so, heciuM etet". look like the only main court dish that ill not be scaiver tlvis year than loit. A Kurvey of gov ernmcntil ani private on ports imlicatcs (hot most, poultry iind probably fish are going to bo much harder to get, but eggs if you will take top-notch cold storage ones should be plenti ful. Civilian supplies of red meats beef, lamb and mutton shouldn't be noticeably shorter I than last year. Manipulation of I ration points might even make I them more plentiful in dealers' coolers. Veal w ill be consider ably harder to get; and that good old standby, pork, bids fair to be mighty tight. During this first quarter of 1945 there has been about 15 per cent less meat, over-all, than in the last quarter of 1944. For the year as a whole, the supply will be' off about 10 per cent. But pork will be off 17 per cent. Of all meat, there will be about 127 pounds for every person, con trasted with a demand, if the meat were ivailable, for about 170 pounds per person. When meat first became scarce, poultry was promoted as a sub stitute. But ihc poultry supply this year probably will not run over 20 pounds a person, while the demand would easily absorb 30 pounds. The difficulty with poultry is a WPA freeze of the entire output of the Delmaiva region (Dela ware, Maryland, Virginia) and of Georgia and the southwestern mid-west. The normal poultry supply for the contry is estimat ed around 10 million pounds a week. The WFA lreezc, to get supplies for tho armed forces and lend-lease, has tied up about eight milion pounds a week, leaving only New England, among the major sources of poultry, free to sell to civilians. If you can't get meat or poul try you buy fish, if you ct in. But the worst winter in many years on the Grand Banks, plus restrictions imposed by the fish-, ennen's union, have made even fish scarce. We have eaten up most of the frozen reserve, and current supoly is not great enough to meet demand. The union limitation resulted, after a five-month fishermen's strike, from fear lest big sup piles might lead the OPA to low er the ceiling it placed, in 194.1, on fish prices. It affects the en tire Massachu.etts industry, which is the principal source of supply for most of the eastern United States. Experts estimate that, aside from the fishermen'.-; inability to go out much in last winter's storm ;, the union re sti miction has cut the available supply by at least 10 per cent. Ne:d More Fiih There never was such a splen did opportunity for any estab lished industry to open up new fields as the fishermen have now., in the opinion of Joseph C. O'Brien, manager of the national fish department of the A & P store's. There is a huge demand among people -vho never used to be aware of fish, including those in inland are-is where little fish used to be shipped. But the sup ply is so small that no attempt j can be made to provide for these new customers. There is ldy i enough lo keep the ' old fish'-1 eaters eoine. , " Meat is scarcer, poultry 'is scarcer, fish i; scarce. What is n left? Eggs. And here there is no natural shortage in sight. Last year Americans ate an average of 349 eggs each. This year they will average perhaps one a day, or 365 for each person. The na tion's hens wil provide the eggs. But not fresh out of the nest, day by day, the ye:ir around. Hens are seasonal producers. First they lay their heads off, faster than we can eat the prod uct, and the WFA steps in and buys surpluses at 24 cents for ungraded and 27 cents for can dled eggs, to take them off the market and hold up the price. Then the hens begin to get lazy, and demand overtakes sup- I ply. and there aren't enough strictly fresh egfji lor everybody. Storage eggs arc good enough so that many of us buy them froin larriicr's wag-ins and never know thi' difference. i If you will be satisfied, in (iff caseins, with storage eggs, there will be enough lo fill the gaps when you can I get meat, poul try or fish. If you don't like eggs, that may prove to be your hard luck in 1945. Church Group To A id I)o-nul II ul The Pi i sliyterian Ladies Aid will furnish food for the I3-.Wt Hut on Sunday, April 0.

HOME EXTENSION NEWS -By JULIANNE WISE, Home Demonstration ' Agent - With meat supplies short, in genious homemakcrs arc stretch ing meat flavors to make one pound taste like two. The follow ing suggestions gathered from hoineniakers and from home eco nomists of the USDA point out some of the possibilities for sheading meat flavor as far as possible. Well seasoned stuffings'nrc ex cellent extenders. Flavor may be enhanced by adding garden herbs, currie p o w d e r, meal sauces or Mexican spices. Vege tables have almost unlimited use in stretching meat flavors. Two pounds of lean meat with it makes 5 to 6 servings of all meat stew but one pound can be com bined with Vegetables in any desired combination to make that many more servings. To bring out the full flavor of meat in a stew, cut it into small pieces, sprinkle- with salt and pepper, roll in flour, and then brown in fat. Browning the meat well be forehand gives better flavor and more attractive color to the stew.
