The present wheat emergency has not changed the bread habits in our family. When I was a young girl learning to cook, my Mother taught me the importance of avoiding waste in food - and I think some of the hints I learned will help you to conserve bread now.

We don't throw away left-overs at our house-if bread does become slightly stale, I make toast or use it for bread dressings and puddings. If there is still left-over bread, I roll it into crumbs and pack it away in my refrigerator until I make a dish that requires a crumb topping

Incidentally. I've found that by opening just one end of the bread wrappel - and carefully reclosing the waxed panel, then placing the bread in the refrigerator-it stays moist and fresh much longer. And, too, I wash my refrigerator at least once a week with vinegar. It's just an extra precaution that stops any mouldings

You know, it's really surprising how much food can be saved with just a few such precautions as these. And every crumb we save here …-means prolonged life for a neighbor in Europe. That certainly makes it worth the effort, doesn't it?
