“To settle an argument will you
tell me the correct way in which
to eat peas? One person says they
are always eaten with a fork,
another that they may be eaten
with either a spoon or fork.”
It is customary to eat vegetables
with a fork. This applies in the
case of peas.
“Should a fork be held with
prongs up or down' when eating
vegetables?”
Vegetables should be conveyed

young men under a universal policy
could not take place reasonably
close to their own homes but it is
vital that this program not be
used for propaganda purposes or
to impose some idealistic theory
on the youth of this country.
Academic study to supplement mil
itary training should not be dele

of the Army or Navy, but should
remain as a unrestrained free en

day of the following April, on
which date all subsequent elections
have been held.
The city took advantage of other
statutes, in April 1941 dividing the
city into wards with two council-
men from each ward whose terms
expired in alternate years. At that
time the title of a “city father”
was changed from alderman to
councilman. Another statute taken
advantage of allowed the voters to
pass upon the city manager plan,
which was adopted on April 4,
1944 by an eleven t<^ one majority.
to the mouth on the fork the
prongs of which are up. When
eating meat one should hold the
fork with prongs down.
“Is it improper to cut up all
of the meat on your dinner plate
at one time?”
The problem of how much meat
to cut up at one time really de
pends upon the “style” of eating
that you prefer. You may follow
the Continental method of cutting
off one bite of meat at a time
and conveying it directly to your
mouth, with your fork remaining
in your left hand, tines down, as
it was for cutting. Or you may
prefer the American style of cut
ting off two or three bites of meat,
laying down your knife, transfer
ring your fork to your right
hand, and eating the bites of meat,
interspersed among bites of the
rest of the dinner. You would never
cut up your entire serving of meat
at any one time.
