Great Hopes. Business over, the menfolk went downstairs to the long tables loaded with fried chicken, beef pork meat loaf; white and sweet potatoes fixed every way-fried, mashed, baked and roasted; a variety of salads, vegetables, muts, cakes and pies. Everybody ate hearty, and what was left went home with the women...
Crowded Freezers. Mrs. Goodhue had the deep freeze packed with meat (one hog, half a baby beef, and 15 or 20 chickens) but she was still a little put out about the time she didn't get some pork chops thawed out soon enough for lunch and had to buy eight for $1.70 at the country store.

He grossed $785,000 on 550,000 broilers...
Last week without warning, almost casually, the council canceled the subsidies on cooking oil, soap, milk and beef for the capital. Porteños whispered that the President himself had appeared before the council to ask for the step. The rumor ran that soon all subsidies, even the whopping annual support for wheat and sugar, would be lifted...
