Coconut pie now joins lemon and chocolate
packaged pies on your grocer’s shelves, according
to Better Homes & Gardens magazine. Inside the
box you’ll find two bags. One holds the makings
of a 9-inch pie-crust and the other holds the
coconut filling mix. You add water to the pastry
mix, roll, and bake. The filling is as simple to
make as a packaged pudding.
IT'S FUN TO EAT IN
AMERICA, TOO!
"Three squares a day.” Ask an American
what that means and he’ll laugh at you. Why,
we’re so used to "square meals” that we take them
as a matter of course. Sure, we "beef” about it if
the beef runs high—and when eggs and butter go
up, we "go up in the air.” But the point is, here
in Free America, we’re so much more fortunate
than folks in other lands.
Take Russia for example—let’s make some
comparisons. Here in America the average weekly
wage of a factory worker is lYz times the average
weekly wage of the Russian factory worker. The
"staple” groceries for an American family of four
for three meals a day costs just about what the
same staples would cost a family of that size in
Russia.
Luxuries? Well, there are so many here that
there’s hardly room to list even a few. Things such
as cigarettes and cigars which cost 4 times as
much in Russia. Messrs. Stalin, Molotov, and Vis-
hinsky probably have their vodka and cigars—all
the while trying to sell the idea that The State
should control everything—that the American
System of capital and competitive enterprise is
KAPUT. All we can say is—"bosh, we’ll take
our way.”
