Group to Travel 100 Miles to Build Indian Mission
BY Mark Gnerro

Religious inspiration and love
Of hard. outdoor work late this
month will take 16 persons 2,100
miles across the country to build
chapel on an Indian reserva-
tion.
When the Rev. Jesse w. Myers.
Presbyterian student chaplain
at the University of Maryland,
heard through the church's
Board of National Missions that
the mission at Ganado, Ariz.,
could use a chapel and COM
munity center, he Immediately
set about enlisting recruits to
build one
He started with his own fam
lily; his wife Virginia. his son
James, 13. and daughter Vir-
ginia, 9. Patricia Ann, 2, couldn't
very well be left behind, so she.
too, was drafted.
Altogether. about 30 persons,
most Of them University of Mary
land students, signed up for the
trek. In the course Of the school
year the party was whitfield
down to 16. including the Myers
family, eight students from the
University Of Maryland, one
from George Washington Uni
versity. another from Howard
University and DR.. John A.
Daiker Of the Department of
Business and Public Administra-
ton at Maryland.
DR.. Daiker, who has had much
camping experience in the West,
will serve as guide for the group.
DR.. bakers father, formerly
with the Bureau of Indian AZ
fairs, is well known by the Nav
ajo tribe with whom the group
will work at Ganado.
The expedition plans to leave
Washington June 20 and pro-
ceed by 400-mile stages to Ari-
zona. They will travel in a car
and Station wagon, each vehicle
towing supply trailers.
An unusual feature Of the ex-
pedition will be the welcomes
which it will receive from
churches along the route.
Mr.. Myers wrote to Presbyte-
rian churches along the way
asking for lodging on the trip
to the Southwest. and got afiir-
NATIVE answers from every one.
He settled on stops at Zanes-
vile, Ohio; Terre Haute, Ind;
Springfield, Mo-; Oklahoma City,
Okla, and Tucumcari, N. Mex.

the timber, and the student
group will notch the logs and
erect the building.
The work site is 18 miles from
the mission, and the group will
drive back and forth each day.
Several are planning to live with
Indian families if arrangements
can be made.

around, and Mr.. Myers already
has invitations from Presbyte-
rian leaders to take groups to
Mexico City and Fairbanks and
Anchorage. Alaska, next summer.
A possible European jaunt may
be worked for 1856.

served by q South American
embassy in honor of q visiting
| president.
No request seems bizarre to q
caterer. The other day q social
lite ordered q waiter dressed in
jeans. colorful shirt and SOM
brero to push a cart through her
grounds. The menu: Tamales
and hamburgerS.
Mr.. Ellis, who got the account,
Immediately sent a man out to
buy a pair Of jeans and added
it to the bill.
Few parties are as fancy these
days as that Mr.. Trilling re-
members in 1908. The Argentine
Embassy outdid itself in setting
Of live South American birds,
flowers, palms. soft music from
the balcony and Illuminated flags.
Every one seemed to enjoy the
seven or eight different wines
served on the especially tailored
4OO-foot lyre-shaped table.
In those days, chefs Wed with
one another for fancy compotes
of spun sugar. Some were shaped
like Lillian Russell hats, some
like candy baskets in which ices
were served. They don't seem to
fit in today'S cocktail party
crowds.
Few guests stop to realize the
work involved in rounding up all
those walters. Caterers try to
book them as long as six months
ahead Of time, so great is the
demand. They are drawn from
the Association of Private Wait
ers, a group devoted exclusively
to such work.
In the good old days, they
worked for $3.50 as long as they
were needed. Now the fee is
$1O.50 for a minimum of four
hours. The number of available
good walters has declined sharp
ly. and most of them work part
time for the Government or in
other jobs.
What caterers can't get used
to are people who envy their
racket" It's hard work, with
only a reasonable profit and
plenty of headaches, they say.
Overhead from breakage and
souvenir -lifters is heavy. Water
glasses. for instance, average
more than 81 apiece. Some cater
ers figure 10 per cent breakage-
Is per cent at drinking parties.
Recently one caterer lost 80 demi
tasse spoons at one party.
When six or eight parties are
scheduled the same day, it gets
rushing. A caterer must be able
to take any part in the show if
an emergency arises.
1T has to go off like clock
work." says Mr.. Ellis. I'VE allow
about two hours to set every
thing up, and there can't be any
missing links"
Mr.. Ellis knows, for last week
he had to fill in as an announcer
at $50 pm. at one party, rush
back to his shop and show up
by 7:15 at another party to sub

and pitchers costly aSSort-
ment Of breakables and disap-
pearables.
That's not all. The embassy
wants this party to come of
smoothly. The caterer says that
will take Is or 20 experienced
walters. five pantry girls. two
courtroom girls and an auto man.
About 200 telephone calls later,
the plans may be perfected. If
nothing goes wrong at the last
minute. For all this. and many
other details. the cost will range
between 81 and $6 per guest.
Many and varied are the prob
lens that vext the party pur-
veyor, as can attest such cater
ing veterans as Henry Trilling
of Hubert. Inc, Clarence H. Ellis
of Ridgewell's Caterer. and Mr..
Orcino.
Mr.. Trilling's memory goes
back to 1901 when he joined
the famed caterer Of the day,
Rauscher's. Queens and kings.
Presidents and diplomats have
partaken of his delicacieS.
Long ago, he learned how to
improvise if the demand arose
At the old Japanese Embassy.
about 1910. a dinner party struck
a snag. The cook stove wouldn't t
cook. Mr.. Trilling had two large
salmon that had to be cooked.
EnliSting the chef. he went to
the basement, stocked a half-top
coal furnace, slipped the fish
into copper boilers, and set them
over the fire, suspended by a
poker. The guests had fish that
night.
Then there was the day (was
it in 1902 when those New
Workers came down with the idea
of buying the old Chesapeake
Beach Railroad" Mr.. Trilling re-
called.
They climbed into a dila-
pidated private car for an in
spection trip along the line and
asked us to serve them dinner.

Eating, which long ago was
recognized as habit-forming, is
making life q picnic for WASH
ington caterers these summery
day.
These astronomical special
lists are ringing up record re-
ceipts from an endless swirl OF
dinner parties, receptions. cock
tail parties and buffet suppers.
With few exceptions. caterers
call this the best season they've
seen-a 81 million industry de-
voted to keeping the Capitals
diplomatic. social, business and
official sets well fed and happy.
When the Democrats finally
surrendered. after many bounti.
full years, there were those IN
the food and drink business who
eyed the future apprehensively.
Some. like Pietro Orcino
owner of Avignone Freres,
dropped their no solicitation
policy long enough to circ,llarize
new oficialdom with letters OF
self introduction.
But fears of a decline in the
party whirl proved groundless.
Instead. the pace has stepped
up. Why? The men who set up
the parties aren't sure.
Perhaps it's a combination
of things" one said. washing
ton is growing up; people are
spending money. Maybe many
are making contacts in the new
administration. Some are party
ing away their tax money"
So catering in Washington
has become big business. The
telephone directory has some
100 entries under that classifi-
cation (ranging from chicken
boxes to the full-fiedged dinner
party category.
Only a few are equipped to
rig out a big party from soup to
nuts. to serve as the invisible
force behind the lavish outlay

Pennsylvania avenue. Workers
carting the remains back to Ger
stenberg's Restaurant, tapped
the barrels as they rode along
the street. unmindful of the ruts.
Some radical changes have set
in since those days. Before and
after the turn of the century,
catering consisted largely of big
house parties, balls and teas
elaborate. dreSSy affairs.
Mr.. Orcino, who learned about
grandeur as chef for the late
Mrs. Evalyn Walsh Mclean for
four years. remembers double
service dinner parties requiring
10 walters.
But most of the mansions have
succumbed to taxitis, and social
customs have changed, too. Peo-
pie actually are spending more
for parties, but much of it is
going into the stuff cocktails
are made of
There was a day when tea
parties were Observation-Disclosures
and coee and sherry on the
sideboard." Now everyone ex-
poets and gets cocktails. Fifteen
or 20 per cent of the total bill
may go into liquids.
Catering in Washington gets
a big lift from the embassies. The
larger firms count on as much as
one-third of their business from
diplomatic circles. The South
Americans particularly are fond
of buffets.
Some of the more expensive
feasts are cooked up by the Rus
slams. One caterer recalls an oc-
casion of the Soviet national
birthday, which included this
fare:
Pheasant. beef. chicken, ham,
turkey, roast loin of pork, lobster,
salmon. white fish. three kinds of
ice cream and. of course, caviar
$500 or $500 worth.
"They are good customers"
remarked the food dealer. '"They
order, pay cash on the barrel
head and always seem satisfied"
Calls for native dishes by the
embassies tax the genius of the
chefs. In Avignone Freres' spa
cious kitchens, there are seven
chefs, six bakers, four candy
makers and three ice cream spe-
cialists to cope with the problem.
Mr.. Orcino. who has been chef
at the Italian and British EmbaS-
sizes, as well as the Mayflower,
knows most Of the answers. If
necessary, he will leave the busi-
ness Office long enough to in
struct in preparation of a spe-
cial dish.
Present-day costs considered.
caterers give you a fair shake
for your money. But Mr.. Tril-
ling remembers the good old
days, when beef tenderloin fillets
were served a party of IL for So
slightly higher ($D with mush-
rooms. and 50 with truffles.
Caterers are prepared to oblige
almost any request, including
fresh caviar flown from Russia.
That little item costs $40 per IA
ounce can. Dinners may run up
to $3.50 a person, such as one
