Average Of 2,212 Hot Lunches Served Daily In The Seven School Lunchrooms Costs Range From 10 To 20 Cents. Program Given High Praise Students in the seven elemen tary schools in Brevard and Tran sylvania county ate an average of 2,212 hot lunches daily as com- • pared with 1,605 last year. The cost of these lunches ranges from 10 cents to 20 cents, Supt. J. B. Jones states. Federal aid is supplied to all lunchrooms and the amount of aid is determined by the number of lunches fed daily, the type of meal and as to whether it includes milk. “Parents and teachers. alike know the importance of a balanced hot meal for children,” Mr. Jones commented, “and we are all ex tremely proud of the fine work that is being done in our lunch rooms.” “For the first time, the lunch room at Brevard elementary was open to high school pupils. This was made possible by the transfer of so many pupils to the new school building,” Mr. Jones continued. He also explained that surplus aid was somewhat more during the year, owing to the supply of such items as turkeys. “In serving lunches the children have not only been supplied with well balanced meals, but they have Superlatives Of RHS Seniors Are Elected By Class The Rosman high school senior class announces the following su perlatives, who were elected by popular vote of the students; Moth athletic.

Main St. Dial 3-1921 Opposite Belk’s More than half of the students of Transylvania county, or 2,060 ride to and from school in buses, according to records from the coun ty superintendent’s office. The per centage of bus students is 54^ of the entire enrollment. During the past eight and one- half months no days were lost due to weather and road conditions and not a single major injury occurred, “It has been established definite ly that riding a school bus in this county is safer than walking along the highway,” Supt. J. B. Jones points out. Drivers are about half adults and half students, and the records for safety in this county are equally as good. Mr. Jones states that on a state wide basis, however, student driv ers have a somewhat better record than adults. Since the monthly wage scale is only $57.50 it is not easy to secure competent drivers, he states. Three new school buses, with a capacity of 60 each, will be added to the system next year. Two will be allotted to the Brevard district and one to the Rosman district. These buses have steel bodies, heaters and all safety devices and cost approximately $4,000 each, Making Plans For ’53 Commencement A telephone service operator re ceived this call from a subscriber: “My telephone cord is too long.
