Show MEATLESS DAY FOR PEOPLE 1 I ; IN PUBLIC PLACES OF OGDEN jmm ' Tomorrow all the cafes, restaurants jM and lunch counters In Ogden will ob- B serve their first meatless day. To- jMi morrow it will be impossible for pa- Hj v trons of these places to order beef, MV pork, mutton, veal or lamb in Ogden. Mr .1 This decision comes as the result of 'jWr the meeting of the restaurant propri- jMr j r ctors last Monday, when they adopted. n "ne rem,est of lne government, a BBt j meatless and a wheatless day each MMV week. Wednesday it will not be pos- HMV M Bible to order dishes in the eating H. W places of the city that contain more jHj u than 30 per cent of wheat. MHp fil This rule is in effect in practically Jgfj i all of the cities of the nation and the W 'i saving made thereby will aid greatly QjHf j ln winning the war. It is thevplan to 3m) I I I5U'- tbe same rule in operation in ev- jM V. ery home of the nation eventually. 'jV 'X Steps along that line already have ,jB been taken and it is thought that in a 'r i short time every patriotic housewife jiH ' in the nation will fall in line. Imf To do this is a big problem. As J. (Ml Edward Taylor said at the meeting jH h of the local restaurant men last week, iMJ T the nation as a whole is a most ex- ijH travagant nation. Never have the peo- Mf pie denied themselves anything that IMJI money could buy. So, to put the plan IMS t into effect, he stated, the habits of an , entire nation must be changed. This is a hard task and it will not be suc- 1 cessfully met until every person real- izes that it must be done to bring an early cessation of hostilities. With the military forces of the country, coun-try, continually calling men from industrial in-dustrial occupations Into the service, these men become non-producers. Still, they must be fed, and this calls for adder ad-der sacrifices by those who are left, and the adoption of the meatless and wheatless day each week is one of the most -efficient ways the government has of solving the problem. ' The local dispensers of food are of the opinion that the citizens of Ogden are behind them in the move and they think that there will not be any trouble trou-ble in putting the plan into effect. As far as the restaurants and cafes are concerned, their proprietors were ' unanimous in endorsing these days and it is not anticipated that there will be any trouble in living up to the agreement. However, it is a government request. re-quest. Should there be any trouble on the part of the restaurants in not j living up to the agreement, it is stat- ed that plans are formulated that will effectually bring the cheaters to time. But it is believed the people themselves them-selves will see to it that there is no cheating and that if any place shows a tendency to break the rules and serve meat or wheat on the days named, public sentiment will be ample punishment. |
