Sinossi
Excerpt from The Homemaker Enlists
In our as yet unbombed land it takes. An effort of the imagina tion to realize the immediacy of war and our own responsibility toward it. We cannot in our safe homes hear the clash of battles halfway across the world, nor feel the desperate anguish. The average American housewife's role in the present war is dull and unspectacular, but of the most tremendous and far-reaching im portance. TO it she needs to bring imagination, foresight, under standing and self-discipline, not to be summoned for swift mo ments Of glory, but to be used unseen and unapplauded, day by day, in the kitchen and the market.
Rationing, scarcity, Shortage, price control, frugality - all these are words whose actual meaning is as new to the American vocabulary as jeep, blitzkrieg, or task force. Only little by little do we begin to understand their full Impact. Our economy has been one of abundance, still somewhat dominated by the frontier plentifulness Of game, fruit, and grain. Even families in the low est income brackets have not always either understood or prac ticed true thrift. Americans who knew France well were con tent to admire without imitating the French housewife's thrifty ways; perhaps there was even a tinge of pity in that admiration, since we, a favored people, did not need to know how to make a savory stew out of scraps. Now we need to learn that basic les son, and a great many more.
This bulletin is by no means intended as a guide to household practise, but as a series of discussions of the fundamental needs and motives that must govern our wartime economy, and the ways in which housekeepers can cooperate in that economy.
