Meatless Tuesday
Observed In U. S.
By the Associated Press
The nation observed its first
“meatless Tuesday” yesterday, all
j though wide compliance with
President Truman’s conservation
| request by restaurants and hotels
| was not expected before next
Tuesday.
Many hotel and restaurant of
i ficials explained that their menus
were made up and their meat
orders placed with wholesalers
too far ahead for full compliance
yesterday with the president’s
meatless Tuesday request which
was not made until last Sunday
night.
The White House went on the
“meatless Tuesday” menu with
cheese souffle for the president’s
luncheon and broiled salmon
steak for dinner.

| Tell Children
i There’s No ;Santa’
Says Psychiatrist
TOPEKA, Kas., (/P>—A psychi
atrist, suggesting that parents
stress honesty, today condemned
the practice of teaching children
there is a Santa Claus.
You can get just as much fun
out of Santa by telling ihe truth,
said Dr. Brock Chisholm.
Besides, telling your chiid the
St. Nicholas legend and other
myths are truths might handicap
his thinking abilities.
Dr. Chisholm explained i: this
way:
“If the children think about
it, they know there is no Santa
Claus and that their parents are
liars, so they don’t think. It’s
I too unpleasant.”
