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."
