REGULATIONS FOR
BAKERS STUDIED
County Lieutenants Meet Here
For Statewide
Sessions

Seventy 'lieutenants of bakers"
gathered from every county in Penn
! sylvania, met in the Senate caucus
room at the State Capitol this morn
! ing to discuss food administration
regulations affecting bakers. They
will remain in session all day, and
! listen to addresses by state and ma
tional food administration represen-
! tatives.
The county lieutenants are the
men who have been appointed IN
each county to disseminate matters
of interest to the bakers, and to see
that the food administration resula-
tions are observed, and at the same
time see that the bakers are ac-
quainted with the substitutes which
will furnish the best products. The
conference to-day was called by
Fred c. Haller, of Pittsburgh, who is
chief of the Federal Bakers Service
Commission of Pennsylvania, with
headquarters in Philadelphia, as a
means of receiving reports from
each county lieutenant.
Mr.. Haller presided this morning.
Wynn Campbell, Washington, chief
of the National Bakers Service Com
mission, addressed the lieutenants.
Service was the keynote of his talk,
in which he urged the lieutenants to
help each other. He emphasized the
need of their working together and
not obstructing the regulations OF
the food administration. He told
them to fall in line for the common
good, and as a means to this end,
suggested that when they learn OF a
good way to use substitutes, or OF a
good substitute to be used, to COM
municate their knowledge to the
other county lieutenants.
The remainder of the morning
was devoted to receiving the reports
of the lieutenants on the work done
in each county. Lieutenant Shoe
maker, of Philadelphia county, made
lengthy report on the progress in
his county. The reports of j. J.
Fleming, lieutenant of Berks county,
and Lieutenant Braun, of Allegheny
county, showed the large amount of
organization accomplished in those
counties.
AT the meeting this afternoon, Mr..
Hepburn, chief of the enforcing di-
vision of the Bakers Service COM
mission, will address the lieuten-
ants.
1t is understood the meetings will
be held periodically, probably once
month, as a means of get together
and exchange of ideas among the
lieutenants. Mr.. Haller, chief OF the
Bakers Service Commission, can
call a meeting whenever the needs
arises. The last meeting was held in
Reading. June 11-12.
