Social Events Women's News U.S. Families Eating More Restaurant Meals By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York - (UPD - Our appe tite for meals outside the home increases each year. So does the number of eateries catering to our multi-billion dollar capacity. Latest figures from the American Restaurant maga zine, a trade puoiieauon, showed that in the last two decades the bill for meals eat en out has more than quad rupled. In 1940, we spent $4,75 billion; in 1945, !$9.5 billion and in 1960, $18 bil lion. A census of retail trade summary showed that In ad dition, the number of restau rants has grown from approx imately 170,000 in 1939 to 230,000 in 1958, the latest year available. Various government agency and industry reports tell more on the dining-out explosion. Outside food bills rank fourth on the list of consumer spend ing, led only by food and bev erages consumed in the home, by rentals, and clothing and accessories. Post-War Boom Before World War II, res taurant or hotel dining was infrequent with families in lower Income groups. Bv 1950, 15 to 20 per cent of this eroup was dining out frequently. In 1909, only three per cent of the average city family's Bunnies Go Beatnik In Cards Kansas City - (tlPil - Easter cards, 1961 edition, offer a full array in new colors, new de signs, and bunnies that have gone beatnik. The secular verses have transformed the traditional bunny into a contemporary character, occasionally a beat nik, and there is greater em phasis on humor in this year's cards to herald a new spring. There is a wide variety of religious cards. Several are designed to teach children the story of Christ on Easter night. Historians for one greeting card company said that pagan people once believed the world was hatched from an egg. They thought eggs were the beginnings of all things, and thus through the years eggs became associated with Easter. Early Christians consecrat ed eggs and dyed them a deep red to symbolize the blood of Christ. They gave eggs as presents. As the people of northern Europe began to mi grate, it became impractical to deliver eggs as presents. Thus the Easter card custom was born. Chicks and eggs were popu lar decorations for those early Easter cards, just as they are today. The Easter bunny also date? to pagan times. This year Hallmark Cards feature "keepsake" cards. The "keepsake" cards are designed to record a child's confirmation or first commun ion and contain prayers, pic tures and religious teachings. food spending was in restau rants. By 1950, it had jumped to 20 per cent. The American Restaurant China Manufacturers associa tion said one of its surveys In dicated that now, some 46 per cent of families with an an nual income of $5,000 to $7, 500 dined out at least once a week. The figure goes up to 49 per cent for those in the S7.500 to $10,000, drops back to 43.8 per cent (reason unex plained) in the $10,000 to $15,000 bracket, and up to 61 per cent for the over-$16,000 group. The custom of leaving the children home with the sitter also is fading. The association found that some 57 per cent of families. queried in 36 states take the children along. Dining out is most preva lent in the big cities; least practiced in the farm belt; and is more customary in the East and Far West than in oth er sections of the country. Reasons for Switch ' The obvious answer is that mom gels tired of cooking the three squares and of the nish washing daily. . But there are many others, cited by industry sources. These include the generally higher income level of recent years; the increase in leisure time; the Increasing number of families on the go in the last 20 years; the jump in the number of married women who hold outside jobs and want-and can afford-the occa sional break from the kitchen: Fewer servants: the grow ing number of industrial cafe terias; the school lunch pro gram which has condititned children to dining out; the nu merous credit card systems, and the trend to late evening shoDping downtown. ' Restaurant operators say there still are some hurdles. Television,, when a habit In the family, is death to the restaurant and hotel dining rooms. Backyard barbecueing also cuts into the restaurant business. And another study by the china manufacturers group concluded women would like some improvements in restau rant and hotel service. Some 300 lady diners said their "ideal" eatery would of fer fresh vegetables "not over cooked to a watery mess, pro vide cither coffee or tea ns free extras on a meal, would use a china service fittina the the restaurant atmosphere, have the check include the tip, provide larger tables with more soace between them, of fer plenty of attention from waiters, but no "hovcrin"" or hurrying, clean white t.ible eloths. and "enough light to read the menu by."
