The OnTGOII STATESMAN. Salem, Oregon. Tuesday Monu. September .3. 1311 After Two Yeares .What War has Bone - to Em'opers Average. Citizen Frenchmen Ask Eat Last?" as Government Wages War on Bootlegging of Food (This li the third of a scries of four articles from European cap ital Irlltni the effects of two rears of war o the average man.) By TAYLOR HENRY By Wireless to AF Feature Service ! VICHY, Sept 8. Before the war the traditional greeting of the middle class Frenchman at lunch time was "bon appetit" good appetite but now, in all kindness, he wishes you "petit ftppetit" small appetite. There any other kind. The main problem among all classes is where the next meal is coming from, and the main topic of conversation is what one had - for the last meal and what he hopes for at the next. . The marazine LUlustration recently sorsested more ser ioosly than humorously that '.housewives start serving meals n small plates so they, would took like meals of normal size. A Frenchman with a family of two or three children is having a 1 hard time making ends meet even if he earns as much as 20,000 francs a month in a better-than-average position. I know numbers f white collar workers who say that day in and day out they don't get enough to eat - -The term "black market" used to apply only to money ex changes,' but : today it signified, bootleg food and clothing mar kets almost altogether. ' The government is waging constant war against the black market. In July in the Paris . region alone the price ' control erviceseixed 5300 pounds of wool jrarn, 12,000 pairs of stock ings, 5000 sweaters, 11,000 bot tles of champagne, 2200 pounds ' mt soap, 1500 packages of ciga rets among "tens of millions' "of articles. Prices on the black market are fantastic and out of the reach of the average family. Wool worth $1.50 a yard is sold for $8, soap worth four cents is 50c a half pound, rayon worth 0c is $420 a yard, . chocolate $1.50 a pound, butter $125 a pound. : Some of the most prominent people in France are involved n black 'market activity. Among 34 persons recently sent to intern ment camps were the president of the syndicate of fruit and fresh vegetable importers, the director of the Marseille public slaughter houses, the director of wholesale butchers of Cannes and the presi dent of the Villef ranee Sur Saone chamber of commerce. Indications are that rationing will become more and more strict as winter approaches. The only items of food which are reasonably plentiful are bread, potatoes and vegetables. 4 V Children suffer the most since they receive insufficient vitamins and body . building elements in :. available foods. Cream or even "creamy milk" are luxuries f re served for children under three and for pregnant and nursing - mothers. Butter and cooking oils are almost unobtainable except hi some rural districts. Meat and meat Juices are among the things you brag about to your friends, when you ve had some. Host families stint them- selves to see that their children , get as much as possible to eat, but after year of armistice . the youngsters are pale, thin and small-boned. . The average housewife spends at least half her time waiting in -line . at the grocery store or butcher shop. The other half she spends trying to figure out a way of making 'food substitutes taste good. ; Clothes are restricted by the ticket, system, but even if you have the 30 tickets necessary to buy suit of clothes it is almost , Impossible to find the material. : Commercial recovery has been halted by the shortage of raw materials. Before a mann-i-i facturer can do business he most get his raw materials un V froten with "material money," , which are certificates of use ap proved by the government The shortage i of gasoline also has hampered recovery. Sunday joyrides are not only out of the question, but there is so little gasoline available for traveling salesmen that they ahev to travel four or five in a car and can cover only a small territory. - , .
