Psychologists Analyze
Making, Eating of Bread
By JEANNE LESEM
United Press International
New York-fUPD-An isolation booth-dining room may be
come man's last refuge from motivation researchers.
Breaking bread with other hungry souls makes you a
sitting duck these days for psychologists and sociologists.
Bread itself is not immune
from analysis. It has become
a "slightly immoral" food, a
symbol of "selfish indulg
ence," according to a speak
er at a meal honoring the
grand champion sandwich
maker of 1959, Laura B. Hale
of Tulsa, Okla.
Miss Hale, who at 80 years
still works a 5-day week as a
YWCA cafeteria cashier
checker, won the sandwich
queen title with a triple
decker filled with avocado,
sour cream, ham, eggs, cream
cheese and chives. The con
test is sponsored, annually by
the National Restaurant Asso
ciation and the Wheat Flour
Institute of Chicago.
In this sandwich context,
bread presumably is free from
the taint of immorality, pro
vided sandwiches are eaten

state famous
for its beauti

G.y Pauley b O n, blue-
grass, and of course old fash
ioned cured hams.
It all ended on my dinner
table this week.
ijBut it was in the in-between
Which nearly turned me into
a jjeaten biscuit. I, who in all
modesty, claim to have no
trouble with Hollandaise
saace which baffles many a
eadk: I, creator of souffles
WSich never fail; I, who can
twrn out a beef stroganoff to
ph?ase the palate of a czar, if
afty were left.
The challenge of cooking a
Kentucky-cured ham in a New
York apartment though was a
ork apartment though was a
new one. I checked every one
of the general cookbooks I
ojvn; and, every ex-Kentuck-ian
in New York I know. The
cnsensus was: There is no
slfort cut to cooking the long
cgres.
Tftke Your Time
&The generally recommend
e3 method: Soak the ham
covered with water for 24
hours. Then boil, covered
with water, for five or six
hours. Then peel off the tough
outer skin, glaze as you would
a tenderized ham, and bake
ag usual.
I Now, this would be no prob
lem in kitchens our mothers
and grandmothers used. They
had space. My kitchen meas
ures about six by eight feet,
if you use an elastic yardstick.
,,They had utensils large
efibugh to cook the whole
Kpg, if necessary. The biggest
pan. -with cover I owned was
the pressure cooker. As a modern-method
cook, roasting al
ways has been with slow heat
and open pan.
I tried to borrow from
neighbors. No pots large
enough. Finally, the ham
spent that 24 houres soaking
in the deep half of the kitchen
sink. That problem was solv
ed. Now, where to boil? The
ham was too large for the
scrub pail, even if it was
cleaned and given a foil cover.
Inspiration. There was that
14-gallon garbage pail parked
outside the service entrance.
Most Unusual Pot
Fairly new pail, too, and
kept lined with a paper sack.
Good, tight-fitting lid.
Well, inside came the pail
and into the bathtub it went
for cleaning and scalding. And
before you could say Ken
tucky Derby, that ham was
simmering away in the
strangest looking pot ever to
grace the top of a range. I
didn't bother to check wheth
er a galvanized surface is as
safe for cooking as aluminum
or enamel. By this time, I
didn't care. -
Once simmered, peeled and j
glazed, my utensil problems
were over-the ham fitted just
barely onto the largest roast
ing pan I owned. Later, when
a clove-studed, mustard and
vinegar-glazed ham emerged
from the oven, I wondered
whether all the effort was
worth !it.
Then, a paper-thin

Market researcher Paul A.
Fine explained that when "we
eat sandwiches with our fin
gers there is a symbol of a
relaxation of formality which
society permits on special oc
casions." .
It was not always so. Fine,
an executive of The Center
for Research in Marketing,
Inc., claimed that food - and
particularly breadstuffs, cak
es and other wheat products -is
viewed today in a frame
work of chemistry, emphasiz
ing nutritional and calorie
content rather than human
values.
This led, he explained, to a
reversal of the old-fashioned
attitude linking bread-eating
with obedience and self-discipline.
"Eat some bread with your
meat. It's good for you," was
a line parents once used to
point out to their small fry
the "down-to-earth, ordinary,
solid, virtuous" side of eat
ing. Bread-making, he added,
symbolizes love, care and so
cial purpose. And packaging
that emphasizes old-fashioned
personal care sells more
bread than a wrapper that
points primarily to chemical
and nutritional content.

Chicago -(UPD- The caller's
voice quavered as she tele
phoned her problem to the
Detroit Home Owners club:
"There are bats in my base
ment. Please help me."
There was nothing in the
club's 400 household services
about the disposal of bats, but
the management was deter
mined not to disappoint a
member.
Al Schonweter, the club's
founder, armed himself with
a baseball bat. Ernest Curtis,
club president, grabbed a
tennis racket. The two sped to
the rescue.
In Newark, N.J., a house
wife stepped outside to pick
up the morning paper, and
her front door slammed shut.
Inside was the key and her
14-month-old baby. The fran
tic mother telephoned the
New York Home Owners
club, and within seven min
utes a locksmith arrived to
open the door.
Similar clubs are operating
in a dozen other cities, serv
ing an estimated 10,000 mem
bers of the National Home
Owners club. Officials predict
the membership will number
in the millions within five
years.
Home owners spend more
than seven billion dollars a
year on repairs and mainten
ance, Schonweter said, and
more than 16 billion for re
modeling and modernizing. In
most cases they are at the
mercy of the men who do the
work.
Schonweter said he realiz
ed that after three contractors
submitted bids, varying by as
much as S2.000, to convert a
section of his basement into a
family room. He huddled with
his friend Curtis, and togeth
er they evolved the idea of
the club.
Costs S12 a Year
Home owners and apart
ment dwellers were offered
memberships at $12 a year.
If the washing machine
breaks in the middle of the
Monday wash, or the televis
ion set goes on the fritz, or a
new garage is planned, mem
bers just telephone the club.
The nearest expert in the in
dicated field will be sent to
do the job.
Members are billed month
ly for work done, and the
tradesmen pay a percentage
of their collections to the
club.
The mass membership and
the profitable business it
promises serve as a lever to
keep the tradesmen eager to
do good work, Curtis said.
The householder is assured of
prompt service, good work
in a n s h i p and reasonable
charges.
A national advertising
agency (Bozell and Jacobs,
Inc.) heard about the club, in
vestigated, and liked what it
saw.
Club Goes National
How about setting it up as
a national organization, ad
man Nate Jacobs inquired,
and franchising reputable per
sons to establish similar clubs
in other cities? Schonweter
and Curtis approved.
The national organization
began operations at Chicago
in February with Jacobs as
president. Within three
months, it had issued fran
chises for clubs in New York,
Hartford, Conn., Baltimore,
India napolis, Shreveport,
Houston, Kansas City, Oma
ha, Minneapolis, Seattle, Bev
erly Hills, Calif., and Wash
ington. Club presidents pay $6,000
a year for franchises to oper
ate, a fee which includes
training at club headquarters
and on-the-scene counseling
by an executive of the nation
al club.

the big department store on
Red Square, has women
crowded around it six deep
these days. In the window are
elegant shoes - blue, pink,
sleek, black, glittering bro
cades. Only on Order
When you inquire inside,
the shoes are "made only to
order, at 400 rubles (tourist
exchange is 10 rubles to the
dollar) up," the salesgirl says.
But ' at least they're in the
window, and Russian-made.
And even those shoes Soviet
women are buying eagerly on
the ready-to-wear shelves at
$30 have reasonably narrow
heels and slightly pointed
toes, quite a change from the
usual square, heavily solid
footwear.
There are so many holes in
the "curtain" these days that
the long arm of "American
ization" can be found in the
hotels, and the shops, even on
the radio. You can buy soft
drinks and cigarettes at side
walk vending machines Jazz,
once frowned upon, is played
in most of the hotel dining
rooms. It sounds a little 1930

time. Some of the orchestra
vocalists even croon popular
American songs such as "Au
tumn Leaves" in English.
Play U.S. Tunes
Moscow Radio has played
the album of "West Side
Story," complete with a sum
mary of the plot in Russian,
twice recently.
The score of "My Fair
Lady" is another startler you
can hear sandwiched between
the usual setting up exercises
and newscasts relating suc

Now that consumer goods
are becoming moge plentiful,
stores are "dressing" their
windows. Blown-up photo

tractive displays of Russian
perfumes and lingerie are
changing the sidewalk scene.
But the ultimate of ' the
"new look" in the Soviet capi
tal was found in one store
window on a side street. It
is fashionable for Moscow
women to be plump. But there
on sale for 30 rubles was a
pair of East German-made
white lace "falsies."
