Pastry Cook Shortage in Hotels
Hits Patrons in Sweet Tooth

The manpower shortage has now
touched the sweet tooth of Wash
ington's hotel patrons.
The hotels are short of pastry
cooks. They can also use fry cooks,
fish butchers, short order cooks,
an assistant potager (soup and
sauce cook to yoW, cold meat men
and roast cooks. ....
But pastry cooks are the hardest
to find. according to the lecal
United States Employment Service

cooks must be experienced and that
hotels usually use male cooks,

1000 Victory Garden,
In Montgomery Face
Heavy Drought Loss
500 Receive PortioI Aid
As Water Is Pumped
From Nearby Creeks

Approximately 500 Montgomery
County Victory gardeners face the
loss of 80 per cent OF their crops
due to inability to obtain water from
nearby fire hydrants, county civilian
defense officials said today.
An additional 500 gardeners will
lose up to so per cent OF their crops
even though they were obtaining
water from adjacent creeks with
the aid of fire department equip
ment.
Judge Albert E. Brault, county
civilian defense director, said his
request to draw water from fire
hydrants had been denied by the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission on the ground that IL
would tax the already overburdened
filtration facilities at the Burnt
Hills Mills pumping plant.
The commission advised him
Judge Brault said, that the plant
was able to pump about 100000
gallons OF water a day. while the
demand totaled approximately 49,
900, 900 gallons a day, necessitating
the drawing of water from the
District.
The commission about three weeks
ago appealed to residents not to
use water for sprinkling purposes
because Of this excessive demand.
This difflculty will be overcome
when an additional plant is COM
pleted at Laurel next spring.
Officials also asserted that while
they have arranged to pump water
from creeks near Victory gardens, the
drought already has destroyed ap-
proximately so per cent of the crops
in such gardens. Corn has been
affected particularly, with damage
also inflicted on carrots, lima beans
and turnips. They advised garden
ers to dig their early potatoes now
before they rot.
