The Chemawa American Shop Talk At the bakery the reporter got an estimate of the amount of bakery goods that Mrs. Sanders and her boys turned out in one week’s time; 1,000 loaves of bread, 900 biscuits, 450 cinnamon rolls, 450 cookies, 900 rolls, 75 pies, 8 pound cakes, 450 buns. To make this amount of bakery goods it takes from 1,000 to 1,150 pounds of flour and approximately 75 pounds of sugar. About 42 loaves of bread are eaten at each meal by the students. That is. 72 stacks of bread with 12 slices in each stack. Two boys, Glenn Scott and Delmar Hickox, are at the power plant this quarter. The boys are taking motor and generator winding also general power plant operation and maintenance work. They have learned how to generate electricity. In the kitchen the reporter saw a big tub of salmon being prepared for dinner. A peep into one of the cold storage rooms revealed jams, jellies, butter and other such delicious foods. The other held apples, eggs, milk, and meat. The kitchen was very neat, clean and orderly. Latelv the mechanics at the auto shop have been busy wrecking old cars. They have wrecked two old Fords and one old truck. A new system for getting tools has been installed in the shop. Each boy has been give a number. These numbers are printed on tags and whoever takes out a tool places one of these tags in its place. In this way Mr. Speed hopes to avoid losing tools. The mechanics have started to reconvert an old truck into a fire engine but this work has had to be discontinued for awhile because of more important jobs. The big job right now is the overhauling one of the Cletracs from the farm. Each of the government vehicles on the campus gets a complete lubrication job every 100 miles.
