TOO MANY BREAD TRUCKS FOK LIBERTY 1 Waste, waste, waste! If you want to get a picture of enormous waste tn a nation at war, have a look at the bread trucks that come into Liberty and most other Liberty County towns every day. The bread companies of Houston apparently do not realize that America is fighting for her life. If they did, they would doing business as usual. Instead of forgetting the kind of cut-throat rompetition that creates one of the greatest economic wastfs in our country, they are continuing to leave dozens loaves of bread at liberty stores.

It is nothing unusual for a bakery- truck drivei to pick up as much or more bread than he left the day before. What of this old The indicator IS not certain. Hut it is probably disjxisi of in the Houston area a- it is in the Fort Worth- Dalias area. There, each day, truckload after truckload of stale bread is hauled out to fatten Tarrant County and Dallas hogs. If the keen of peace-time were forifotti'n by bakeries, probably two or trucks that come into fvery week-day would be eliminated.

That would mean not only a savings of thousands of pounds of bread each month. It would mean the saving of trucks, tires, highways, gasoline and manhours all vital in winnmg this war. The bakeries could easily take patriotic action in this matter. They could ask eaeh grwer to determine much he wants, ami sell him that much brt-ad outright, rather than on a con- iiltnmt'nt basis. This would bi a favor to the grocer if grocer were on exactly the same footing.

It is revealed by statistics in the Worth area that almost us much day-old bread is picked up by bakery trucks as the grocers sell. That means, in addition to the waste of baking, distributing and marketing, an waste of wheat and other ingredient: that are needed fighting food.
