• On the whole, . my wife is

Two. influences in my life
created this. habit :of garnering
any spare food; Since my priso-
ner -of -war days; .I've . always
had, a deep-rooted fear of going
hungry., In. those days 'I discov-
ered ' thata good, thick cimust
tucked. `away about` the person
Was more.' comforting than
thoughts of; 'home, .mother or
country.. •
I remember one great fin-
• uncial coup I pulled off
there. I started; with . the
excellent, if filthy, shirt
which I: was .wearing, and
hadrta't - had off for six weeks.
It took me a . week, but I
: traded that for a cheap shirt
and a <Pair. of gloves,' the
gloves for cigarettes, the cig-
arettes for . an ; onion; the
• onion for a bottle ..of ;home-••.
made: hooch ` and the •'hooch'
for ,a' 'Bed.,' Cross chocolate
liar. A. "
.1 fondled -the chocolate, • 'un-
wraped. and rewrapped, it, smel-
led it, and made out a schedule
whereby : I would eat one' square
a ,day for eight days. That night,
lying. in (bed .thinking lecherous-
ly of my bar,; I. was overcame by.
:Lust, snatched it from. under the
pillow, and, gnawed ,arid snarled
my way through :it, to `'theac-
companiment of piteous. protests
from iny rooYmim at s, I was sick
shortly :and: host the works; to
their 'delight. But ,I' have .• never
been casual ab6ht food • since
those days.
Besides this I have a feeling,.
instilled; . in' me as ,a child,. that
waste is a Sin: There was no:
waste at' our. house.; Leftover
porridge,. for example, went into:
the big pot .of soup always sim-
mering, and ., gave it body and
flavor. In the depths of the de-
pression, my mother invented ;a.
new kind of hash;,- a popular
dish .in those days:. She replaced
the Meat • in the hash with skins'
of . baked potatoes, put through
the • grinder,, , It looked like real
hash,, was .filling, "and • with. a
_liberal- • sloshing ; of homemade'
chili sauce;, was palatable.
•Those were the . days. , when
you went to the . ;butcher. and
asked if hehad any ,bones, for
the dog.' He gave you some good
meaty: bones,.• for nothing but an
ironic smile, and you took them
home. and ' made soup out of
them. Now, of; course, yeti • ask,
the butcher for a soupbone . and'
he gives you, some dogbones and
charges. -you for them, That's
progress; '
You should hear
smart -Alec kids when 'I tell
them things like that. "But
that' was in. the Bad Old
Days,.. Dad. .Have another
piece; of .chicken," they P,
taunt. /
However; let'sget to the point.
There, must be thousands of:peo-
Ole who abhor waste as much as
L.:.do. ` People eating •, in restau
;rants cgnsume •only about half
their..:meal.. The rest : goes into
the garbage, and then to.:'the pig
farmer. l
I- suggest that; when we are
eating out,: we carry with us a
pliable
'plastic container, z with'
'hot' and cold. . Iconi,partnients;
These could be •: draped over ' the
backs ` of our chairs, like : saddle
bags. Ladies could '.have theirs
:covered' in mink ".if .they wished.
At : the end. of ' the' meal, every
thing.we had paid 'for" but 'riot
eaten,, from:' soup to sherbet,
would ;' be dumped into the sad-
dlebags; . which would . then •: be
lstrapped op -tinder our. coats: ' ` '
1... We might: .slosh` and gurgle a
bit when we wal'ked•, but it
•would put,an pend' to : waste, • le-
galize my sociali vice, and we'd
have :a' whale of a time :going
•through our garbage when .We
got home.
