Factories and . cafes have already had their milk rations cut, and all tinned milk is on points. The ration of dried egg has also been cut. The ration per person was one tin for eight weeks. Now it is necessary for a housewife to have a priority (invalids' or babies') book before- a tin of dried egg will he supplied. If it was not for fish and chips we would reallv get hungrv. The last tin of dripping T opened gave us fried bread, . which was nice. What a surprise in the parcel you sent — malted milk — we have not been able to buv anv for vears, most of it going to the hospitais. One thing rationing has done is to make people eat what they would i TU'ver have thought of eatiug previ- I ouslv. "All children had to take a tin to. school the other day for chocolate* powder, a gift from' New Zealand, Ooulfl I have a little lettor of thanks put in one of your papors?
