FASHIONS AND RATIONS
Sir-Do these well dressed young men and women about town never sleep or wash? There is no provision in your rationing scheme for sheets, towel, or pillow case-to mention the bare neces-sities-or is this provision only for the young? All the household necessities no doubt can be obtained from the coupons of the elderly, who, of course, don’t need any new clothes. (Dad says he bought his big overcoat just after the last war, and that "there’s years of wear in it yet"). So, of course, that’s where the necessities for the young business: folk are to come from, and tea towels, bed covers, all the not so noticeable extras, will clearly come from Mother’s ration book. Everything has been beautifully
arranged!-
ONE OF THE ELDERLY
(Gisborne),
P.S.-How about one sheet or other covering, one towel, one pillowcase from each book?
