THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER ^sBcnow
Lunchroom Educational Program In I
Haywood Attracting State Attention
5 Meetings
Already Held
In County
Haywood county is setting the
pace for what might become a
slate-wide program of presenting
the advantages of a modern lunch
room program before the teachers
and patrons of every school.
Under the supervision of Mrs.
?Rufus Siler, lunchroom director,
five such programs have already
been held in Haywood, and others
are planned.
Xj^^ast one at the Crabtree
i school, with 75 attend
ing, included Miss Mildred Barry,
nutrition consultant of the State
Board of Health, who pointed out
the need of such a state-wide pro
gram as soon as possible. Also vis
iting from out-of-t he-county was
Miss Christine Herring, Asheville
city school lunchroom supervisor
who acclaimed the program as one
of the finest projects yet under
taken, and one which showed 100
per cent cooperation between all
groups in such a plan.
Fred Safford, principal, presided,
with all the faculty being present.
A turkey dinner was served by the
lunchroom staff.
Mrs .Margaret Noland, member
tf the staff, started looking at the '?
school 20 yejirs ago when the first
lunchroom was opened in a small ?
wooden room, and 10 students were i
served. Now about 165 are served :
daily. 1
Mrs. Myrgle James has been a
member of the staff about 10 years. I
Others speaking at. the meeting
besides Mrs. Siler and Miss Barry,
included Mrs. Grace Stamey and
Mrs. Belle Ratcliff, teacher super- 1
visors.
The theme of the general plan
is "To contribute to the total
growth of the child through the
use of the lunchroom as a learning
situation.''
Mrs. Siler discussed "Why a
Lunchroom"; Mrs. Kubye Bryson1
of the County Health Department'
spoke on "How does your school <
child grow in Haywood County".
The Lunchroom?- a road map I
to health, was presented by Mrs. I
Ratcliff. and Mrs. Stamiy of
Waynesville, supervisors in the
Waynesviile Elementary and High
School respectively.
Mrs. Siler pointed out that, "We
want our school child to be physic
ally fit. mentally alert, and morally
sound. We felt that the lunchroom
may be used as a learning situation
to help make him just that way.' ,
She discussed the National
School Lunch Act and explain j{l
how this act provides 3? 4, 5 or ti i
cents for all children who want
to eat. and at the same time re- i
quires each community to provide
a lunch for those who cannot pay. ,
In this way the 20 cents each i
child pays for his lunch is divided
to pay for those who cannot pay.
But in spite of excellent lunch
room facilities and personnel. Mrs.
Siler stated, "problems still exist. ,
such as poor participation. chil-J
dre not eating the food prepared.)
bad manners, untidy habits, chil-1
dron coming to school without<
breakfast, and sometimes the sell- j
ing of candy and soft drinks near i
the school.
"We decided one way we might
try to solve these problems was
to have meetings such as this!
and let the public know our poli- :
cies and what we are striving to |
do and ask for cooperation.
"Our goal is to give the child j
back to you, the community, a !
happy, healthy, and Wise individu-I
al ready to take his place in build- '
ing a better place to live."
A similar meeting is planned for
the Cruso school in early aJnuary.
