Nightgowns could not ex- ceed 52 inches in length exc- cept in extra-large sizes. Double - breasted suits for men were outlawed and it was estimated enough cloth was saved for one suit in every 40. Liquor bottles were sold back to distillers through scrap dealers and liquor boards. There was no rubber for corsets, girdles or bathing caps. Canadians were asked to take their empty toothpaste and shaving cream tubes back to retailers to be salvaged. Food rationing began slowly 25 years ago, as a voluntary measure at first. Through 1942, sugar, coffee, tea and butter were rationed. Meat was put on the list in the spring of 1943. It wasn't until September, 1942, that ration books were issued, and they remained in use until 1947, two years after the war ended. SAVED BONES As food supplies tightened, the government vigorously ballyhooed the virtues of good nutrition. Housewives learned or relearned how to make soup and preserves. Vege- table gardens sprouted. Ren- dering fat and saving bones became a patriotic duty. The government announced in 1942 that it needed all the fat and bones it could get to make munitions. The goal was 35,000,000 pounds a year --one ounce per Canadian a week. People were paid for taking waste fat to their meat dealers and encouraged to route bones to salvage via the soup pot. Laura C. Pepper, head of the consumer section of the department of agriculture, as- sured Canadians in 1941 they'd be healthier if they cut their summer pork consump- tion by half. The other half was needed for Britain. The government developed a process to enrich bread flour with vitamin Bi and urged millers and bakers to tablespoons when making your pre-war baked désserts, they will taste just as good. Try an extra pinch of salt in ot it brings out the sweet flavor." To stretch butter for sand- wiches it recommended beat- ing one cup of milk into a pound of soft butter. That would increase the volume by half. A booklet on saving and using fats in the home told how to render, clarify and de- flavorize them and how to mix them so they'd be usable even for baking. "If rendered fat or dripping is to be used for baking pur- poses and the flavor is strong, it may bé clarified and de- flavorized by the following method: "Put fat in a large pan. Set over moderate heat and melt slowly, then strain through a fine sieve into clean pan. To two cups of melted fat, allow one cup of boiling water and Y% teaspoon baking soda. Use a large pan since the mixture is apt to foam up. "Cook very slowly until wa- ter has evaporated and fat is clear. Skim and strain into container. While cooling, beat occasionally." Its chart for fat substitu- tions included this list as sub- stitutes when a recipe calls for one cup of butter: % cup smoked or fresh pork fat (clarified); or 2-3 cup chicken fat, salt doubled; 1 cup beef dripping (clarified); % cup suet, salt doubled. There were also govern- ment booklets full of recipes for making almost anything with these fats to help the butter and shortening ration go a little farther. In 1942, controls limited manufacturers to producing only 80 per cent of the short- ening and 56 per cent of the vegetable oil they had pro- duced in 1941, Coupon rationing on butter began Dec. 21, 1942. At first it was half a pound per person per week. It varied during the next few years hovering mostly between six and seven ounces, and was not stopped for five years, until the spring of 1947. The fats rendered at home the best boneless meat could be obtained with one A cou- pon. In coupon group C, at ofe poiind percoupon, were such méats as hamburger, porterhouse steak or roast with bone in, chops and butt ends of ham. No ration coupons were re- quired for such meats as ox- tail, liver, tongue, wieners bologna, cooked meat loaves and spare ribs. The meéat ration was lifted in 1944, to be imposed again in July 1945 so that meat could be sent to Europe. All the time it was in effect, restaurants observed meat- less Tuesdays and then Fri- days. The restrictions on serv- ing meéat in public lasted longér than any other form of meat rationing, to be lifted finally Aug. 15, 1947. Sugar rationing, the first imposed, was the last lifted. It had been cut in 1945 from 14 pounds to nine a person for six months..
