Plans Being Made to Serve Noon Lunch at School.

An effort is being made to equip a dining room for students who find it more convenient to eat their lunch at the school building at the noon hour. The school authorities have always been opposed to students, who are forced to bring their lunch with them, eating outside of the school building, and it is for this reason that an effort is being made to find a place for them to eat w’ithin the school building. The home economics club of the school is taking charge of the plans to equip the dining room and are asking the co-operation of the citizens. Tables, napkins and water .will be provided free. Soup will be served, a different kind every day of the week, for a few cents. Providing that this proves a success other articles of food will be provided Later. ————

The home economics dub asks that the citizens donate canned tomatoes, corn, navy beans, potatoes, onions, or any other vegetables that they care to. Money-is also asked for to aid m the worthy effort. A shower has been arranged for Saturday, Jan. 22, at Warner’s hardware store, and a generous response from the citizens is expected. Give this undertaking a little thought and arrange to leave something at Warner’s hardware store Saturday, for it is for the .betterment cf our schools.
