Dr. William G. Ogbura, professor of soc
iology at the University of Chicago, pre
dicts that 45 years from nov Americans will
be better educated and have more money to
spend.
"They v/ill eat chemical foods," he says,
"and wear chemical clothing, and their gov
ernment will be in a partnership with pri
vate business to keep it free."
But he warns there v/ill be drawbacks.
There v/ill be more divorces, he says, and
the education which will increase culture
will also make Americans bad mannered.
'Thy? Americans can absorb good man
ners v/ith their culture as well as book
lamin'. The good doctor must be associa*
ting with "intellectual snobs" at his uni
versity.
King George of England and Queen Eliz
abeth are seeing to it that their own fam
ily is not exempt from rationing. Last
season's outfits of Princess Elizabeth and
Princess Margaret have had the hems let
down and their warm-weather frocks were
made at home from lengths of cotton mater
ial costing around 102 a yard. The king
and queen and the princesses use their
clothing coupons just as they do their
food rationing books. They have no larger
allocations than anybody else.
Since rationing began the king and queen
and the two princesees have had their own
individual butter dishes and sugar bov/ls on
the table at mealtimes, and the queen has
the same problems of shopping and cooking
as other housewives. She gets only the
official allowance of meat for her house
hold and usually arranges to serve a roast
on Sunday and use the leftovers on Monday
and Tuesday.
The close scrutiny with which the German
consulates in this country reported the ac
tivities of American diplomats and their
families was revealed when an examination
was ma.de of the litter left behind by the
vacating attaches of the New York German
consulate.
