LUNCHROOM IS AID TO KIDDIES NYA Provides Real Service to Undernourished Chil dren at Dobson 250 RECEIVE FOOD DAILY A real service is being provided to a group Of at least 150 under nourished school children at Dob son by the lunch room at Dobson high school, which is operated by the Surry county NYA, it has been revealed by Principal Clyde M. Forrest. Forrest said the lunch room was feeding about * 250 students daily. Of this number 100 are in a paying group and the remain der receive free lunches. The paying group aids in providing operating expenses through the money they pay into the lunch room treasury. The lunch room is supervised by Mrs. Tom Folger, of Dobson, who understands well how to pre pare nourishing foods for the children, and at the same time make the pennies go the farthest. The service is sponsored by the home economics department of the high school. Mrs. Folger has a rotating group of 12 girls work ing in shifts of six at a time. This method provides for the use of six girls every two weeks, which enables each girl to get her max imum number of hours every month. v The lunch room, outside of the wages of the operators, is prac tically self-sustaining. Most of the food that is to go into nour ishing soups and vegetable dishes during the winter months is pre pared by canning during the summer.. The school has a two acre plot of land adjoining the school that is used for a garden. This garden was donated by one of Dobson's civic-minded citizens. Every vegetable that Is generally found in a garden is raised on this big garden plot. Last sum mer nearly 1,000 cans were filled. Commodities that have to be bought are purchased by whole sale. The biggest items are milk, sugar, butter, and salt. The usual procedure is for the paying group to exchange various com modities, such as canned goods, chickens, or other meats for tickets. Principal Forrest also stated that they were feeding a group of 52 primary children two meals daily.
