One of our very good friends, Jim Jordan, is head of the towns largest bakery, and the other day he showed the members of my club through his bakery. We watched the entire process of bak- ing, the slicing, and the automatic sealing of loaves into waxed paper wrappers, and it was really fasci- mating, One of the ladies was par ticularly intrigued by the autonla- tic wrapping. Jim smiled :. he said nearly everyone enjoyed watching that operation but then asked us if we knew the interest. ing story behind the wrapper.
 He began by telling us that the paper used to make waxed paper is made of choice slow growing spruce trees, grown in Canada and the northern states. Because of the cold northern winters, he explained, the spruce trees mature slowly, giving added length and strength to their fiber, and consequently, provides better protection for bread. The trees are usually cut during winter and sent down the river to pulp mills in the spring. At the mill, the bark is removed and the wood whitfield into small chips then cooked" with spe- cial chemicals. We all laughed when Jim said the entire cooking process was like making apple sauce!
 After cooking, the waste is dratned away and the chemically treated pure wood pulp is fed into huge paper making machine = which is an entire city block long! The machine re-wets the pulp fib- CTS, then mats them together in a sheet. After the paper dries, 1t is printed and fed on rollers through ..anks of molten paraffin wax - similar to the type we use to Pie- ,erve jams and iellies.
 Jim described the entire process so vividly that we could see every step-and we were simply amazed. Think of the millions and millions of dollars that go into the making of waxed paper! Yet, we get the complete protection it affords in keeping our bread fresh and tasty for just fraction of cent a loaf.
