ECONOMY MANNERS AT THE TABLE
Lord Woolton. Minister of Food, when he launched a new “no waste” campaign at the opening of a “Save bread, save convoys.” exhibition in London, advocated these table rules: Don't break a roll or piece of unbuttered bread: cut it—then if you leave any it can be used in the kitchen. Don’t cut and butter bread in quantity: put the loaf on the table and cut it only as required. Don’t serve butter or jam on to your plate: spread it direct on your bread. The exhibition showed how only half an oz of bread wasted every day by every cne in the country means the waste of a whole shipload of wheat every 12 days, or a convoy of 30 ships a year. The main purpose was to indicate that stale bread can be made into appetising food. — (“The Times”).
