The meat scarcity, they said,
will grow progressively worse in
the next few months and by Au
gust civilians probably will ex
perience the shortest supplies in
ten years. More stringent ration
of meat appears Inevitable.
Major reasons for the meat
scarcity are a sharply slackened
production and large govern
ment purchases for war purposes.

I really feel this
man makes unnecessary de
mands. For one thing, he could
marry a fat woman and in no
time at all, married to a man
like him, I bet she'd be honed
down to movie actress specifi
cations. But I am not surprised
that he wants one young and
healthy. Even so, I imagine she
would be, as he says all women
are "through" at 40.
His letter was sincere, believe
it or not, and repeatedly he ask
ed that his name be kept con
fidential. Which it is. The con
ceit of the man was so utterly
stupendous, it practically knock
ed the wind out of me. Since
considering it, I've wondered if
he is a lone specimen or if there
may be others of his kind. Which
is why I've considered the letter
worthy of notice. I do not con
sider it worth a personal answer.
But I confess I would like to
get the reaction of other women
than myself to this expression of
bloated ego. Personally, I've
known more women who were
biologically conceited than I
have men. But maybe this man
represents a larger group than
I think for. So, girls,' let me
hear how you would answer such
a letter. It will at least be enter
taining to me to see what you
think. And goodness knows I've

Observations
I realize I reached my neck
out the day I wrote the column
expressing the wish that the
men and women who wished to
marry, but hadn't managed, to
do so, could be brought together.
So I deserved the letter I got
from a man asking my help in
his search for a mate.
Judging by both his handwrit
ing and antiquated ideas, he must
be a man of 50 or more. Yet
his specifications for a wife are:
She must be 25 or tnereabouts.
healthy, energetic, smart, glim,
and with no interest in movies.
He doesn't Insist she have any
money, but If she docs have this
will not disqualify her.
Regarding her age, and his,
he says that womeq are no good
after 40, but a man is just be
ginning to live at that age and
many a man can "kick up a dust"
at twice that age. He said that
Just In case no single girls ap
plied, he might consider a young
widow.
So there you have this bar
