Three Million Dutch Face Famine


Being a Dutch derivative , this headline caught my eye.

I still have that American flour bag in our home in Darien, CT. American flour from the B.A. Eckhart Milling Co. in Chicago, ILL. U.S.A., milled: Jan. 1945. Oma baked bread from that flour which saved my Mom’s life. I was born shortly thereafter, in March 1946 and I am deeply aware that I owe my life to that bag of American flour.

THANK YOU, America!!
