Clean Plate Club

World War I moppets rallied to the defense of freedom by planting Victory Gardens and licking their platters clean. This year the Jack Spratlike platter came back. In Glencoe, Ill., Margot, 5, and John Chinnock, 7, with their father, formed the Clean Plate Club, pledged themselves always to "finish all the food on my plate and drink all of my milk, unless excused . . . until Uncle Sam has licked the Japs and Hitler. . . ." Penalty for failure: "I will turn in my button." Club records last week showed only one recalcitrant among 200 members: five-year-old Betsy Brown, who refused to drink her milk. Betsy was dropped for several days, is now a member in good standing.
