I agree.Then the effervescent Freeman got an idea. He was a member of a committee to build a much?╟÷needed addition to Rose de T-1wa hospital* His idea was to market commercially Angelita'a Bread, with a royalty of each loaf for Eose de Lima* Sister Angelita could make but 30 loaves a day, so a machine had to be devised to make it in greater quantities. Freeman sent hundreds of loaves all over the country for tasting and testing. All agreed it has something other breads lack. The difference is largely in the mixing^ the way and the order in which the ingredients are put together. The bread was testedextensively in Las Vegas retail outlets. Now it is being made and sold in other parts of the country and, before long, a giant milling company in the midwest will market the mix in 100-pound bags for small bakeries. Hose de Lima Hospital, through arrangements Freeman made with the milling firm, will get one cent from every loaf sold, - As of now, the Hospital is better by several thousand dollars on. the sales of Angelita*8 Bread in Las Vegas and Minneapolis alone. Sister Felicia, who was superintendent of Rose de Lima when Freeman got his great idea, '.-prays, daily -for the well being of the Jewish patient who may become the hospital* a greatest benefactor. She beseeches the patron of her order, St# Dominic, to look after the enthusiast who hopes that one day America will become Angelica Bread conscious, Jgf| A dignified and businesslike woman is Sister Felicia, but she has a fine sense of humor, "Do you suppose," Freeman asked her one day, "that after we get enough money to enlarge the hospital there might be a little money left over to help us build a synagogue? We need a new one." She topped Freeman's remark: "Why certainly, A1?╟÷if you'll call it St. Dominic' s synagogue."
