CATERING FOR SCOUTS
300 Breakfast At
Railway Station
The 300 scouts who had breakfast at the Christchurch Railway Station yesterday morning were praised by the Railway* Department’s catering manager for the South Island (Mr J. I. West). “The cleanest people we’ve ever had.” Mr West said. “There wasn’t a crumb on the floor.” The scouts were the first group of 2100 scouts who will eat at the station on their way to the New Zealand jamboree at Dunedin. They had a breakfast of sausages, tomatoes, potatoes, bread and butter, and a cup of tea off trestle tables in the east entrance hallway.
"Everything was bang on,” Mr West said. “We did the whole job in half an hour.” More groups of 300 will breakfast at the station this morning and tomorrow morning. But one of the biggest jobs will be serving tea to more than 1100 scouts after 7 p.m. today.
