Many Students
Are Participants
In Lunch Program
Transactions in the lunchroom
at Palmer school almost are
large enough to enter the realm
of big business, a glance at its
balance sheet for the first six
months of the current term will
prove.
Lunchroom figures, which are
a part of the semi-annual report
presented to the board of educa
tion at its recent meeting show
that already $11,251.15 has been
paid out to keep the lunchroom
kitchen in operation this term.
Of that figure, $8,664.46 has
been returned to the lunchroom
fund through student and teach
er payments for the noontime
meal.
The lunchroom now is serving
between 260 and 300 meals
daily, the report shows. There
are three paid workers in the
kitchen, two of whom work six
hours each day and the third
putting in a three-hour shift at
the peak of the mealtime rush.
In addition, there are 16 stu
dent employes who take care of
mealtime chores in the dishpan,
clearing up, and who sell ice
cream. For these jobs the stu
dents receive their lunch with
out cost.
This year’s outlay of money
for the lunchroom was spent on
much new equipment for the
kitchen and dining room. To
date, lunchroom purchases in
clude 80 cups, 300 dinner plates,
60 salad plates, and a service of
stainless steel knives, forks and
spoons which will take care of
50 diners.
Still to be purchased for the
lunchroom from this year’s
funds are six refrigerator trays,
five stainless steel pans and two
20-quart cookers to be used in
handling and heating foods.
Although the lunchroom fig
ures showed that more money
had been spent than had been
returned in lunch money at the
end of the first six months, there
is still a balance of more than
$600 in the lunchroom fund. The
school budget each year sets
aside a figure to help carry the
expense of the school lunch pro
gram. That figure, for this year’s
operation, was fixed at $3,027.40.

A Few Words
To The Wise . . .
(Sponsored by the Valley Minis
terial Association)
Lest We Forget
Lives of great men still remind
us
We can all be shining lamps.
And departing leave behind us
Other heads for postage stamps.
—Anon
Among the many memories of
my boyhood, one is outstanding.
It is the little one-room school
house (and it was red, too)
where I began and finished my
grammar school education. At
the front of the room were two
large pictures, one of George
Washington and the other of
Abraham Lincoln. Thus we were
constantly reminded of the
greatness of these two beloved
heroes of American history and
were encouraged by poem and
story to imitate their lives.
It also was generally under
stood that they were not only
men of courage and vision, but
also men of faith and of high
Christian character. I can still
see the picture in our history
books of Washington at Valley
Forge with his little band of
soldiers, cold, hungry and tat
tered, kneeling in the snow with
their hearts upraised to God in
prayer.
Was their faith in God and
their recognition and apprecia
tion of spiritual realities the
secret of their greatness? Or
were they merely incidental? I
think Lincoln himself answers
this question in these words,
“Without God I cannot hope to
succeed, but with God I cannot
fail.”
They simply and sincerely be
lieved the Bible and the very
authority of the book that they
thus unquestionably accepted,
gave authority to their own lives
as they were guided by its teach
ings. They knew that any gov
ernment, to be a good govern
ment, must be based upon the
laws of God and upon a full
recognition of the equality and
brotherhood of all men. Like
Daniel Webster, they believed
the Bible to be the “bulwark of
the Republic.”
We should be thankful for our
nation and for its noble found
ers. We have been blessed be
yond all other people of the
world, but privilege always car
ries with it an increasing obliga
tion. If we are truly thankful
for our heritage, let us show it
by constantly throwing the
weight of our influence in favor
of those principles for which our
founders stood, and against the
evil and oppression that they so
courageously and successfully op
Dosed.
REV. GEORGE W. GEIWITZ.
