Cafeteria Director
Stresses Value of
Good Cup Coffee
OMAHA. Neb. -(INS)- "A man
will spend his last nickel for a
cup of coffee, and if it's good,
hell be back
Miss Helen Foster, new director
of the Omaha YMCA cafeteria,
speaking. She believes there's a
lesson in this for wives whose
spouses complain about the meals.
She adds, for restaurant mana
gers: "Never get caught without an
apple pie. I did once in Iowa andj
I thought it waa the end ox the
world. Never again!"
Men, according to Miss Foster,
prefer hamburger ' and its facsi
miles (meat loaf, meat patties,
meat balls, and Salisbury steak)
to other meats. They also prefer
tomatoes, green, beans, corn, and
peas for vegetables.
In the salad tine, they like ba
nana fruit jello and combination
vegetable salads, and shy away
from kidney bean and pea salads.
Miss Foster concluded:
"Men love the simple things in
life. They're much easier to cook
for than women."
