WEDNESDAY, NIARCII, 7. 1931 4.5.6 Miles Of Rolls . . . Today's Miracle—Foods Building Doubles Output At Same Costs "If all the breakfast rolls produced each morning for College students were places} end to end, they would stretch from here to Altoona-45.6 miles! The hot cereal consumed in the dorms could fill two trailer tank cars." During a recent tour of the Food Stores building, center-of the new food service organization, Manager and Buyer Robert Prophet' discussed the output of food nec essary to feeds college students and showed how, the most mod ern equipment available is util ized to the fullest extent, making A necessary to employ only 1,5 cooks and six administrative workers The Food Stores - building, a three-story brick structure lo cated by the golf course, is a centralized food processing a n d storage building whose purpose it is to save space and labor in residence halls. Thus, the food output is doubled at the same labor .costs. The butchering and freezing of all meats and the bak ing of pies, cakes and bread is carried on here, rather than in the individual dorm kitchens. In order to understand , this modern miracle it is necessary to go through the building, observe the methods used and see how ' few people do the jobs of many. Cleanliness The visitor may be struck by the general atmosphere of the building one of beauty and cleanliness. Floors are' a spotless terrazzo, quarry tile and asphalt tile. To the west of the lobby is the canned vegetable storeroom, which has a eapacity of about ten carloads of cased goods. Here . cases of soups, fruits and vege tables— even chocolate bars are kept at a temperature of 45 degrees. Opposite this room is the ex perimental kitchen, furnished with equipment which duplicates In size and kind that used in the dorm kitchens. Foods are tested to check that they meet the spe- Cifications, and new recipes are devised. • • • Th e bakery is probably the busiest section of the building, , for here food must be produced constantly. The breakfast rolls that start the day off right . . . the bread, rolls, cakes and pies for lunch and dinner are all pto ducts of the mass productiOn methods used in the bakery. ' 3 Men Make 700 Pies Three men can turn out 700 pies in one morning. The dough is mixed in large. troughs, and the crust roller turns out sheets less than an eighth of an inch thick. One man lays the crust on t h e plate, another fills it, the third adds the upper crust. From here the pies are whisked into the two electrically-driven, six shelf ovens. The shelves, each holding 16 pies, rotate so the pro ducts will bake evenly. At the same time, 675 doien dinner rolls are baking, and bat ches• of bread dough are being made up.

According to Prophet, the meat is sent to the College from Omaha, Neb., and is government inspected and graded. "We buy, the best," he says. Scraps of beef are ground into hamburger by I three HP electric food choppers, and shaped into patties by an electric ' food shaping machine. Electric meat saws, cube steak machine and flake ice machine speed up the work of the thret butchers. Again, machines do the work of many.
