The liner from Port Lyautey was comfortable and slick, but I was leaning forward in my seat as we came in over Naples. I had been on edge all the way across the Atlantic. Now as the steward came through the compartments to pick up our Blue Plate ration coupons for the trip, I couldn”t help feeling annoyed that I hadn”t eaten the food they represented. For the Company wanted everyone to get the fullest possible benefit out of his policies – not only the food policies, but Blue Blanket, Blue Bolt and all the others.
