R.A.F. TARM”
10,000 EGGS A YEAR
Lord Woolton is convinced that the R.A.F. do not live on air. He toured a station recently (says the London “Daily Telegrph.”) and saw, along the approaches to the aerodrome buildings, thousands of growing cabbages, and in a plot of ground near the runways 200 head of chickens, geese, ducks, pigeons and young turkeys.
He visited- the kitchens and saw the men who sat down to the day’s ration of roast pork, stuffing, roast potatoes, cauliflower with white sauce and brown gravy, followed by stewed plums and custard. .All the produce at the station including the poultry, which lays U'j.oOij eggs a year, and 54 pigs, being reared for the table, have been provided by the camp’s social fund. The food is sold to the messing department and the money goes back into the fund.
