THE JEWISH NEWS

IT'S DINNERTIME
IN AMERICA

IT'S DINNERTIME...or will be soon. What
are you going to have? Steak's a little bit
high. Maybe some lamb. Or chicken.
Enjoy it. Enjoy every bite of it while you
can. Enjoy it even if it is rationed, even if you
do - pay more for it than you've paid in years.
At least yoli cad still get it...
Not too far in the future ...if the Japs and
Nazis win...you may be glad to get a scrap of
the cold skin of a chicken from a refuse pile:
You may fight over a leaf of spoiled lettuce.
May risk your life for a bone with a few scraps
of meat on it.
Is this revolting? Does this seem drawing the
picture a little too grim, a little too black?
It isn't. And it's time that we here in America
realized it isn't. Right now, just to feed our armed

.

forces, we are rationing certain foodstuffs. Can
you imagine the shortages the Germans and Japs
would make here if they took over?
Planned shortages. Planned as part of their
revenge for our being a "have" nation. Planned
as part of their scheme to keep us subjugated
for generation after generation.
There's no reason why they should spare us,
if they're victorious. They've spared no one else.
People in Poland and Greece and Yugoslavia
now grub. for miserable shreds of food from
garbage piles. People like us.
Think about it. Think of it as something we
and our families may face...think about it as
one of the things that lost time, half-hearted
effort, "letting the other fellow do it:' can bring
about...think about it as one of war's realities.

Now is no time to relax. Now is the time for
all of us...for you who read this advertisement
and for us who sign it...to do all in our power
to get this war over sooner.
It's up to you...and us.
