Doris, another good-looking girl, does all the shopping. ''It's a full-time job handling seventeen ration books and coping with BUs and points, but I always say a big family is much better off than a small one for rations. The rations we get are big enough to see." Marjorie and Doris are at home all the week, but on Sundays. a. young unmarried daughter, Olive, who works in a grocery store throughout the week, and twelve-year-old Brenda, willingly lend a hand. |
Mrs. Maycock herself, as befits her position, does the cooking. All week, she has planned for the one meal when her large and hungry family sit down together. She has carefully saved fat so that she can put baked potatoes on the table. The meat ration has been watched to make sure that enough is left for a big joint. Money has been spun out to provide the few extra delicacies that make all the difference to the children. |
