do not remember being given cookbooks at the pier in N.Y. but in Lynchburg,
Virginia in 1946, the American Red Cross, the Junior League, the Electric
company, the Gas Company(and several other organisations) each gave separate
and individual
functions for the"War Brides" of that community of which there were 26, from
mostly Europe, and someAustralian, and a sprinkling from elsewhere overseas.
These organisations went out of their way to WELCOME the newcomers and
inntroduce them to U.S. ways and cooking. Each of them had teas, food
preparation parties, etc. for the"brides",thus cookbooks were part of the
welcome.
