Americans Pick Up $17 Billion
Check Yearly for . Eating Out
(Christian Science Monitor!
CHICAGO—Americans pick up
a staggering $17,000,000,000 check
for “eating out’’ each year. In do
ing so, they consume almost one
fourth of the nation's food supply.
They do this heavy eating in
luxurious restaurants, at lunch
counters, in hotel' dining rooms,
in cafeterias, at drive-in stands,
in airplanes, even from vending
machines. They carry packaged
complete ready-to-eat meals from
some of the finest dining rooms.
There’s an average of 78,000,
000 meals served each day in the
nation’s restaurants. In some of
the big cities, more than one meal
in three served every day is a
restaurant meal.
These facts and figures come
from the National Restaurant As
sociation, official spokesman for
the food service industry. The as
sociation further asserts that this
industry ranks fourth among all
industries of the country.
A restaurant is broadly defined
,as any establishment where food
is consumed away from home for
a consideration! As such, associa
tion officials hold that the res
taurant industry ranks first in the
number of persons it gainfully
employs. One out of every six
persons working in retail trades
is a restaurant employe.
The restaurant business has fol
lowed the pattern of the economy
of the rest of the country. Since
1930, the volume of business done
annually increased five times.
Statistics from the U.S. Depart
ment of Commerce show that four
times as much money is being
spent on restaurant meals today
as in 1939.
PARKINSONS ANNOUNCE
ARRIVAL OF DAUGHTER
Mr. and Mrs. Sam Parkinson,
of Oyster Bay, New York, and

nounced the arrival of a daughter

mother, Louisa Blanche, who is

Mental Health
Team Pleased
At Interest Here
The mental health team which
arrived here Friday for an open
meeting were pleased with the
response and interest of the peo
ple of this ara they stated ana
enjoyed the informality of lue
neeting.
In the group were:
Dr. Robert Hewitt, director of
the National Institute of Mental
Health, Washington, D.C.
Ruth Knee, psychiatric social
worker, and
Dr. John Bell, psychologist for
the Regional Public Health Ser
vice in San Francisco.
This group, which is part of a
larger group doing the entire ter
ritory, has been taken off clinical
work for several weeks to map
out a program they feel is most
desired by Alaskans. The pro
gram resulting will be presented
to the Alaska Commissioner of
Health on Oct. 17, who in turn
will present it to the Board of
Health. From there, if approved,
the program will go to the gov
ernor and then to the Surgeon
General. It is expected that the
final program will be ready for
presentation to Congress when it
reconvenes, but it will probably
require three years before it can
be put into effect.
As the meeting was scheduled
for gathering the opinion of the
people, many persons here voiced
varying ideas.
The Parron Report recommen
dation that a room in the MMM
Hospital be set aside for mental
cases with the necessary trained
personnel, was considered by sev
eral to be important to Nome
since those cases requiring short
term rehabilitation may be kept
near at home.
Another worthwhile recom
mendation was that the Eskimo
people be trained to aid in the
rehabilitation of mental cases so
that older Eskimos may be com
pletely understood and to under
stand the treatment being given.
Over thirty people attended
the meeting.
