upsetting the normal routine of
food distribution,” says Teamster
President Dave Beck, here to pre
side over the union’s executive
board meeting.
The union, he said, is tackling
the problem in the baking indus
try first. Top teamster officers
dealing with bakeries are being
called to the Washington meeting.
Beck explained:
“It used to be a driver delivered
100 pies fresh daily from a local
bakery. Now one man delivers
5,000 frozen pies that keep.”

these Easter egg hunts.
The 14 fourth graders of St.

been unwrapped and carried off
to squirrels’ nests. The papers
were left behind for the kiddies.
