To Break A Record
You Gotta Break An Egg!
By Mildred Spear
To break a record you
have to break a few eggs
and Doris Doster has
broken both!
Six hundred and
twelve eggs to be “eggs-act”
went onto the grill
in Bingy’s kitchen on a
r e c e n t S a tu rd a y ,
breaking Doris’ own
previous record of “five
hundred something...”
as she recalls it. “That’s
a lot of eggs!” and all
cooked between the
morning hours of 6 and
11.
“I came with the
business when Bingy
bought it,” Doris con­fided.
“He always says
he never hired me. I’ve
been here for 20 years
(Bingeman’s Restaur­ant
will celebrate 20
years in business this
month) and before that I
worked here for Fred
(Weaver).
“Seems so long I
forget. Must be...” she
calculated,” ...Oh my!
lets not do that!”
In addition to her
record breaking egg­breaking,
Doris breaded
the 72,000 oysters that
customers ordered at
Bingy’s over the winter
“R months” when that
house specialty topped
the favorites list among
the customers. And
when eggs are the or­der,
Doris is also
responsible for all the
e x tra s th a t make
breakfast such a treat —
the bacon, home fries,
toast and such.
She also prepares the
general breakfast menu
which includes French
toast, pancakes, and
eggs fixed different
ways.
Doris arrives at work
at 5 a.m. (Bingy says
she is the first one in the
door after he unlocks it)
and works as short
order lunch cook,
finishing her day at 1
p.m.
“I like to get up in the
m o rn in g ,” Do ris
smiled. “I enjoy people
and this is a fun place.
Everybody is so nice
and it’s all like one
family.
Doris Doster fried 612 eggs on a recent
Saturday morning breaking her previous record of
over 500 as customers ordered breakfast at
Bingy's (or Bingeman’s Restaurant as it says on
the sign out front).
She laughed and
looked at the crowd in
the kitchen watching the
interview and giving her
a hard time about it.
“They’re a good bunch
and we get along good. ’ ’
At that point the gals
in the kitchen came
forward and explained
that they were afraid
Doris wouldn’t “tell
everything!”
“Not only does she
cook,” they laughed,
“she sings, too!”
Doris admitted to
singing. “They always
say I’m waiting to be
discovered...32 years
w a itin g to be
discovered.-..” she shook
her head and chuckled.
“I do. I like to sing and I
whistle. I like Country
and w e ste rn OF
COURSE.
“ They don’t sing
along with me. In fact
they frown on it, but I
keep singing.”
“She makes up her
own words,” they ad­ded.
Doris says she likes to
cook at home, too...well
perhaps not eggs and
certainly not when she
is on vacation.
When she’s giving the
eggs at Bingy’s her
special touch, Doris
says, it isn’t the frying,
it’s the turning that
counts. “You pray they
don’t break!”
She likes using the
well-seasoned grill and
explained that when
customers say that her
eggs are better than at
home that it’s cooking
on the grill that makes
the difference. “It’s a
handy gadget and the
eggs really taste good.”
She figures she can fry
30 eggs in half an hour.
“Bingy’s is a fun
place,” she said. One of
the reasons seems to be
that Doris keeps it
humming...or singing
country and western
perhaps. It’s hard not to
be happy around a
person who is as happy
" as she is.

American Pkg. Negotiating
With Finnish Company
American Packaging
Corporation is still in the
middle of negotiations to
sell their Lititz plant, ac­cording
to Stanley Schot­tland,
president of the
Philadelphia-based organi­zation.
Schottland said one
negotiator in particular, a
Finnish Company, is “a
superior company” and
would bring a lot more
production to the area if it
would purchase the assets of
the Lititz plant.
However, negotiations
with this company have run
into problems, Schottland
said, because of “problems
related to that company’s
own internal concerns”
about the sale.
“We are still trying to find
a buyer for the entity,”
Schottland said, “as opposed
to the selling off the
equipment, though we have
had all sorts of offers for the
equipment.”
He said the negotiations
were “not dead yet” and a
meeting scheduled for
Monday in New York will
determine if the purchase
will go through.
