WILLFUL WASTE BRINGS WOEFUL WANT.
Submitter comment:
MY MOTHER WAS A VERY FRUGAL PERSON. SHE WAS GENEROUS WITH WHAT
SHE HAD BUT SHE NEVER COULD STAND TO SEE ANYONE WASTE ANYTHING.
SHE THOUGHT IT WAS SINFUL TO BURN BREAD. SHE PUT PRACTICALLY
EVERYTHING TO USE AS SHE MADE QUILTS, CANNED AND DRIED FRUITS
AND VEGETABLES. DISCARDED CLOTHING THAT WAS NOT FIT TO GIVE
AWAY WAS TORN INTO STRIPS AND CROCHETED INTO RAG RUGS.
