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.

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.
We have till used carrots, onions,
