OPERATION nH0T LUNCH11
Were you a grasshopper —singing and
dancing away the spring—while some busy
little ants were laying the groundwork
for a HOT LUNCH PROGRAM for the benefit
of your children during this coming school
This program has teen okeyed by Juneau,
according to word received Ly Betty Fenno,
President of the PTA, whose interest and
hard work have brought it to this fruit
TJnder this program, all school children
will be offered a balanced, healthful noox^/
meal consisting of one’ hot dish, bread 'p
and butter, fruit and milk* at a very
nominal cost* '(•
Some parents are obviously unaware of ft
the health needs of a growing child, so - '
this program will not only help them but
will also train the child AWAY from the
candy-soda-type lunch and c&ltiv^te the
desire for wholesome food*
In order to maintain this program, muefc
help will be needed* The various town or
ganizations are beseeohed to get behind
It by sending volunteer workers to work
under supervisory PTA guidance* Cooking
and serving utensils are neededi one per
manent paid employee will be needed as
cookj and refrigeration space which has
already been promised by a good citizen*
Oscar Larsson has made the PTA a very
good offer on baking bread for the year*
And so goes it—everyone helps*
It1 s a BIG undertaking and everyone is
in it* This is something our school has
needed for many years and now the Terr
itory has a program whereby it assists
communities like ours to help themselves,
Don*t stand back and let the others do the
work* YOUR kids benefit, too, remember
that *
A special meeting has been called for
Monday evening, 7*37, August 16 in the
school building. This meeting i6 planned
to feet the program rolling* Be there*

received by these committee members.
Would you call it mental telepathy if
we were thinking of the same thing?
No, just plain good luckl_
