On Increasing the Role of Public Food Service in Raising the Standard of Living of the Workers

The theses of Comrade N. S. Khrushchev's report to the XXI Congress of the CPSU give a great deal of attention to the development of public food service facilities in the country. In the forthcoming seven-year period, the network of dining halls will be expanded, particularly in factories, plants and other enterprises. The production output of public meal-preparing enterprises should rise to more than double its present level. The delivery of meals to homes will become widespread. The task is being set of considerably improving the operation of public meal-preparing enterprises and of lowering their production costs, which will have a beneficial effect on the budgets of workers, above all, and will ease the work of millions of women.
