Purim. That’s the way the fesivals

that you’ve hardly time to begin

.4 Happy Holiday

to lay in a supply of eggs for a
prefestival shortage, when the
“open market” prices soar up
again for the next holiday.
But anyway, the egg supply
doesn’t worry me now. It ceased to
be a problem at exactly 9 a.m.
this morning. I was rushing off to
the Zarhania (the local branch of
the Histadruth cooperative stores
—but that’s another story) hoping
that last week’s ration of eggs had
finally arrived. On the way I was
stopped by a Kurdish woman \vfrio
lives a few houses down the
street from me.
“Had I any sparp rice?” she
asked me. She would take all I
could supply, in exchange for eggs.
During Passover they eat almost
nothing bu!t rice, which is in
very short supply in Israel, and
extremely expensive on the “open
market”. As this attractively—
dark young woman of about 26 j;.
I happens to be the mother of five ’ ‘
j children, and is considerably preg
nant with her sixth, the family
egg ration is more than ample.
Our family consumes great
quantities of eggs. 1 augment our
ration by buying from our neigh
bours, all of whom raise chickens.
At 10 piastres, the open market
price,—only a couple of piastres,
above the ration price—eggs are
the cheapest and most nourishing
food to be had. However, as I
mentioned above, a couple of
weeks before a festival, the good
neighbour policy fades out, and j
eggs jump to (5 - 18 piastres an
egg. That’s a lot of money, and I
often wish that the kind people
who send me Script would change
j over some time to money in-
| stead! Tinned foods are all right in
| an emergency, but there’s noth
ing like real live, fresh food for
i feeding a family.
1 And now comes this answer to
a housewife’s prayer. I will buy an
unlimited amount of rice on my
Script certificate, and exchange it
for its equivalent in eggs, or even
American butter.
By the way, have you heard
about our wounderful, delicious,
miraculous supply of American
butter and American cheese? I’ve
been waiting until I could find
out the inside story before telling
you about it, but perhaps it is
easier for you to find out why and
how we are getting it, and I’ll
just tell you about it’s agreeable
effect. I’ve never lacked butter,
because for years I’ve been get
ting it in parcels from Canada, or
through Script. But 1 never felt
very happy about it. There really
isn’t much fun bringing home
your own supply of good things
to eat, when you know’ that your
neighbour hasn’t got them, be
cause she doesn't happen to have
“a rich uncle in America”, as the
saying goes here. That, of course,
is everyone’s ambition, to have
a rich uncle in America who will
send things!
Now% lo and behold, if a mira-
cel didn't befall Israel about two
or three months ago. The whole
country has acquired a rich uncle
in America, and so it is rumoured,
the uncle is none less than Uncle
Sam himself.
Suddenly, decently, properly
and very cheaply butter “Amer-
ikai” and yellow cheese “Arner-
ikai' began to be handed out
with our rations. Substantial, sat
isfying quantities of it. so good
and so pre-war in its easy avail
ability, that I am sure the psy
chological effect is as beneficial
as its physical effects.
