MEETS Bast Retsinto See Extension of Hot Lunch Project That the hot lunch project sponsored by the Parent-Teacher association will continue past the March 1 deadline announced last week was indicated Monday by Mrs. Walter Maki, project chairman. The announcement was made following a conference with E. R. Fuchs, Denver, assistant state supervisor of the food distribution administration, who was here Thursday.

He met with Mrs. Maki, Mrs. Buford Kaa, A. president, and Superintendent C. D.

Haynes: Mr. Fuchs advised that the new community school lunch program of the food distribution administration was designed to offset the loss of aid formerly given through state welfare agencies. "Through the new program, "he said, "communities will be able to buy foods themselves, from their local farmers and merchants, and thereby eliminate the necessity for maintaining elaborate warehousing and transportation facilities." In this connection he said that it the A. application for aid is granted that the food distribution administration would designate specific commodities to be purchased, giving careful consideration to the availability and nutritive value of the commodity and that the sponsoring agency would buy the quantities of those commodities that are needed for their program and the administration would reimburse the sponsoring agency for the total cost of the commodities purchased, up to a specified maximum amount, provided that the sponsoring agency observes certain required conditions. Mr.

Fuchs inspected the dining room, kitchen and supply room utilized in the hot lunch program and was high in his praise of the sanitation, declaring that the cleanliness was on a par with the best any place. Referring to the difficulty of maintaining the program since the withdrawal of WPA aid Mrs. Maki noted that some parents neglected to pay their 15 cents a week regularly, These small payments from the parents, she said, should bring in about $30 a week where as only $18 18 received. Receipt of the $12 weekly would result in the children recelving a better menu as well as being able to pay the cooks on time.
