lunch counters at various buildings in
the mushrooming Government machine.
In some instances-War, Navy. Justice
and War Production for example
round-the-c clock service is maintained,
and food is purchased three weeks in ad-
vance to make sure-or as sure as pos
sible these days-that it will be available
when wanted.
Here, too, naturally, food figures reach
astronomical heights, with a days con-
sumption of principal items running
something like this: $4,000 eggs; 2,400
pounds of butter; 5000 to $4,000 pounds
of meat; 10000 pounds of fish, on Friday;
5000 loaves of bread; 10000 doughnuts;
1900 gallons of ice cream, and flood of
milk, chocolate milk and buttermilk. Pies
and cakes go in proportion.

Miss Burns ever discovered that she had
programmed baked food in excess of
oven capacity-to cite one of the possible
hazards of feeding 1875 900 people-she no
doubt would die of modification. An ex-
pert knowledge of markets also is a part
of her job.
The association specializes in 25-cent
lunch that is uniform throughout the
cafeteria chain and the lunch menus are
prepared for a month at time, and
sent to the cafeterias two weeks before
they are to be used. The managers of
the dining places then fill out the la

which resembles an Army barracks, and
has been used as a model for similar
projects, is a study in space e-saving and
compact design The kitchen and serv-
ing counters run down through the mid
die and the dining rooms fan out to the
side. The facilities are so arranged
that it is possible to serve 10 men min
ute from each of its four food lines. In
this connection, Mr.. Mcfarland COM
ments that in cafeteria lines in the
Pentagon Building where women are
served. service is about half that fast.
THE ladies enjoy shopping around, he
explains" If any one tried to do that
over here, there would be murder"
With approximately 10000 construc-
ton workers being fed with dispatch
daily, Army officers, impressed with the
lob decided to adapt the setup to Penta-
gon Building needs when the office forces
began to come in, and Mr.. Mcfarland
was asked to take over the manage
ment. He was given two weeks to start
producing in this instance.
Seating and serving space did not pre-
sent difficult problems, two large Sec
tions of the Pentagon being made avail
able for this purpose. Serving kitchens
and steam tables also were easy. An
other problem wasn't.

tomarily are college trained, with back
ground of home economic work, and they
are employed in the capacity of assistant
managers. In this last year, newcomers
represented Simmons College, Boston:
Ames-in Iowa; Kansas State; Penn
State; Madison College, in Harrisonburg,
Va, and Margaret Morrison, the coed
branch of Carnegie Tech
They start out in dining room, or
storeroom, and gradually work their way
through the organization, with assign
ments at various cafeterias This gives
them rounded education, and, as Miss
Ashenfelter explains, acquaints them
with the entire scope of operations. This
sort of training, too, she adds, applied
to all, tends to establish and preserve set
standards of operation.
Cooks and other personnel also are
trained in the association methods.
These training programs have their
drawbacks though, for graduates" are
greatly in demand elsewhere, and sew
eral have been lost only recently. One
of the number, Miss Gladys Copp, who
has been assistant manager at Navy
Temporary 5 has gone back to her
alma mater, Smith College, to see that
the WAVES are properly fed Another
aid has enrolled for foreign service and
will become a dietitian overseas,
Problem of Shortages.
AS If the job of feeding hungry thouk
sands wasn't already problem enough,
the task has been complicated for all
cafeterias by meat shortage and sugar
rationing. The Welfare Association Gu
linary artists have been experimenting
with honey, glucose and maple syrup as
substitutes for pie and cake making, but
while these ersatz products do all right
for pies, they leave something to be
desired for cake making according to
Miss Burns who AYERS that the texture
gets kind of waxy for cakes"-which Is
something for women to worry about.
While the Welfare Association has the
bulk of the cafeteria trade on this side
of the Potomac, there are several inde-
pendent operations of appreciable pro-
portions, the Navy Yard, Government
Printing Office, Bureau Of Engraving
and Department of Agriculture being
among the units which look out for the
feeding of their own forces. In each
instance, this entails the preparation
and serving of food for several thou
sand patrons.
In addition to the Government trade.
the cafeterias as a rule also have heavy
patronage from the outside, and In re-
cent months, with congestion increasing.
this has caused some difficulties, Gov
ernment employees complaining that they
were being unduly delayed in getting
service because of the influx of out
siders AS result, some places are clos

you on variety" he explains, "but other
wise it is all right and, of course, it will
end when the new facilities are ready"
The last pipes were being connected
when the first patrons of the new cafe
terra arrived, but operations quickly
were smoothed out.
Right at this juncture it might seem
to the initiated that another problem
would bob up-that the midday menu
prepared for steel worker might not
strike the fancy of a typist. Mr.. McFar-
land says, however, that this question
never arose. In fact, he has gotten the
idea that oficeworkers prefer their prin-
cipal meal at noon. Lunch, on an ordi-

20o-foot soda bar, while nine snack
stands presently operating, and nine

continue to serve the day-long trek of
hungry and thirsty.
Sixteen Cooks at Present.
The cafeteria operating force now
numbers around 400, including 16 cooks
and many women in various supervisory
capacities. When activities are going at
full blast, it is estimated that a mainte-
nance force of from 1000 to 5000 will be
needed.
Food will continue to be served around
the clock at some of the dispensaries.
Directing head of this network is
Walter P. Mcfarland, native Washing
tonian, who also is in charge of four
similar projects for the Army and Navy
elsewhere in the country. Actually re-
sponsible for the start of the feeding
program was John McShane, contractor
on the Pentagon job
Serving Ten Men Per Minute.
Mr.. McShain wanted place for his
workmen to eat, believing that the prox-
unity of good food at reasonable prices
would save time and increase the eff
cheney of building operations, according
to Mr.. Mcfarland. The latter was given
4s hours to get something going, and the
lunch-trailer was the result. Then the
cafeteria was erected for the building
workers, and operations put on a three
meal, 24-hour basis. This building,

There Was No Kitchen.

There was no kitchen in the building
and whoever heard of cafeteria with
out kitchen So Mr.. Mcfarland jumped
on the idea of preparing the food in
the project workers cafeteria, loading it
In vacuum containers and delivering it
by truck to the steam tables in the
pentagon Building several hundred yards
away The plan clicked, and still is
being used.
1.-THE arrangement of necessity limits
Evening star., 1942-09-13

At the outset, the cafeteria for the pro-
iect workers was launched on a nom
profit basis, and the same scale of prices
was carried over for the War Depart
ment force. Lunch Is 80 to 35 cents.
Two Tons of Meat Per Day.
Daily consumption now runs to about
two tons of meat, four of fresh vege-
tables, $1,000 half-pints of milk, 625 gal
Ions of coffee and unspecifled amounts
of bread, ice cream and other items. The
kitchen operates 18 hours day, and
both steam and electricity are used for
cooking. Between 80 and 40 refrigerators
are required for cold storage.
When the new set-up is ready, service
kitchens will be connected with each of
the cafeterias but the main kitchen-a
housewives dream-will occupy an entire
floor. One entire end will be devoted to
refrigeration, with different kinds of re-
ceptacles provided for the various types
of food. There will be batteries of
ranges; ovens for bread and pastries,
machinery for ice cream manufacture
and storage, facilities for meat-cutting
and grinding, mixers of several varieties,
laundry to care for all linens and uni
forms worn by the help. The job of
setting up this vast layout is not being
taken lightly. BY actual measurement.
the kitchen will be 500 feet long and ITO
wide.

ing job even at this stage is accented

ingenuity Of the managers. When meat
less" Wednesdays were inaugurated sud-
denly, there was some quick rewriting
needed on the menus already prepared
for that month.
Eating Habits Seldom CHANGED.
Miss Burns, who has been ministering
to the wants of Government workers
for long time, has noticed little change
in tastes over the years, and she says
that apple pie, chocolate cake and CO.
coanut custard pie still top all dishes
in popularity.
Eating habits are pretty well stand
ardized, too, for about 10000 to IS 900
patrons usually take the regular lunch,
while the rest of the 10000 or so pick
and choose over the entire range of the
menu.
Business is heaviest at the Navy De-
partment, where from 10000 to $4,000
meals are served daily.
The net income per tray, as profit is
figured, for the Government wide oper-
alton is three-tenths of cent, according
to the last annual report of the associa-
ton.
The Welfare Cafeterias-at least those
serving the regular lunch-have their
own kitchens, and there also is a central
kitchen that helps out as needed. More
than 3,7o0 employees are required to keep
the wheels turning
Experts on Food.
One of the interesting features In con-
nection with the operation of the Welfare
Association cafeteries is the training
program for supervisors, and. as a mat
ter of fact, for other types of personnel
connected with the preparation of food.
