Vet Likes Hobby,
Job Combination
Of Pie-Baking
(ACP). Pie-baking might seem
to be a strange hobby to the av
erage student on the campus, but
to John Rowle, North Texas State
Teacher's college, Denton, Tex.,
freshman, it's a combination of
hobby, hard work, and a means
of earning expenses for attending
college.
Employed as baker, in the
kitchen of a local grill, Rowle
shoves a white, baker's cap on the
back of his head and produces
the formula for butterscotch and
chocolate pies, which he says are
bis specialties.
Nothing Unusual.
"Aw, there's nothing un
usual about baking pies," drawls
the boy who baked an estimated
16,000 pies during the past year.
"Besides helping pay my way
thru college, it's fun."
Rowle begins to assemble the
Ingredients that go into the mak
ing of 24 pies all that the oven
Will hold.
. "I began taking short orders
here four years ago," he ex
plained, "but a year later I began
learning to bake. I've been work
ing entirely in the kitchen ever
since."
