GOLD STAR HOMES SAY RATIONING NO HARDSHIP AT ALL
Waterloo families whose boys have been killed or reported missing in action are considering food rationing only a small gesture of patriotism. Gold Stars are numerous now and their number is steadily mounting. And these gold star families are feeling far greater emptiness in their homes than the partial emptiness in their cupboards or their refrigerators.
“Small Price”
Mrs. A. J. O’Connor, 302 Ricker street, mother of Cpl. Maynard O’Connor, who has been reported missing in action since Feb. 17, has this to say in regard to food rationing:
“I would say that giving up a little food is a very small price to pay in comparison to that which the boys in service are paying.”
