Survey Shows Bread Advance Less
While the cost.s of ingredient:
and labor have more than doublet
in the past 12 years, bread price;
have been held down—on a per
rentage basis—actually less thar
: the advances in the costs of pro
duction, a recent survey shows.
Discussing the advance in gen
eral fond prices at a meeting ol
bakery engineers, E. E. Kelley
Jr., President of the American
Bakers Association, pointed out
that whereas bread prices have
advanced 73% since 1941, flour
has doubled, milk more than
doubled, paper has increased more
than 100% and labor costs in
bakeries has gone up 155%.
He reported a survey of news
paper advertisements in 1041 and
in 1953 which showed bread sell
ing at 11c in 1941. and at 19c in
1953; milk was advertised at H'/^c
per quart compared with more
than 20c in 1953; sugar was 4.tic
per pound, against 10.1c this year;
family flour was advertised at 3.9c
per pound in 1941, currently at
9.4c per pound.
"And of great significance," he
said, '•‘is the fact that in this 12
year period, only two products
have been improved from a nu
tritional standpoint — bread and
enriched flour. The enrichment
program started in 1941, B vita
FWS HEAD OFFERS
EXPLANATION OF
POSITION AND POLICIES
In a communication received
this week from Clarence J. Rhode,
regional dV.'ector of Fish and
Wildlife Service, the announce
ment was made that a series of
releases, as time permits, explain
ng the position and policies of
the service will be made. The let
ter stated that the department
vould also answer, in public col
umns of any newspaper in Alas
ka, letters of inquiry or challenge. |
The letter was prompted from
> mins and iron being added to
I white bread. Leaders in medicine
and nutrition have declared that
the enrichment program was one
of the greatest boons to public
health ever recorded.”
Further testimony to the im
portance of bread in the diet came
from another source recently. A
leading national magazine devoted
14 pages to a variety of uses for
bread, closing the section with
statements on bread’s virtues.
A. A. Schaal, head of the maga
zine’s research department, de
clares that bread is important be
cause:
“It is a sound, delicious, whole
some food-. The old myth that
bread is fattening has been ex
ploded; it can and should be
wisely included in a reducing diet.
It is one of the most wonderful
buys for the food value received.
“it is a fine source of cereal
proteins whose value is stepped
up by the bakers’ increasing use
of milk solids. Enriched and
whole-grain breads do so much
toward insuring adequate amounts
of B vitamins and iron in the diet.
It is filling and satisfying and
such a good source of the energy
we all—growing children espe
cially—need.”
recent statements made against
the service and pointed out that
public acceptance of derogatory
statements against the service in
evitably breeds disrespect for all
functions, including observance of
regulations. The loser, the letter
went on, in every violation is
always the supply of fish and
game, which belong to everyone.

Deep “underground lake"
water, underlying the Anchorage
area is of the proper temperature
for use in cooling processes, ac
cording to a release from the

mented that the water, ranging
in temperatures from 36 to .33
degrees Fahrenheit, could be used
in cooling processes, and also
is warm enough to be considered
a source of heat in subfreezing
temperatures where flowing
