GOOD LUNCHES SERVED
The meals in the lunch room this
year are really excellent, even
though they cost only ten cents. The
following are some menus offered
during the last two weeks: Steak,
mashed potatoes, gravy, vegetable
salad, apples baked with raisins, hot
biscuits, butter and milk: weiners
with sauce, corn, sweet potato fluff,
fruit salad, hot biscuits, butter and
milk.
From these two menus, which, are
typical of the meals served, it can
readily be seen that the meals are
well-balanced- Some kind of meat
is served at least three? times a week,
milk, one or more vegetables, and a
fruit are served every day. The
menus are varied so that the stu
dents do not tire of them. Not only
are these meals carefully planned,
the food is well prepared ar.d al
ways served hot. even though from
J 21! to 15'! plates are served every
day.

ple's recreation committee sponsor
ed a Halloween party for the high
and elementary school students and

entertainment program and not to
raise money. Some of the things
were charged for in order to help de

Mail Christmas Gifts
By December 1 st
This request came yesterday from
the Charlotte district office of de
fense transportation to officially
herald the opening of the Christmas
season.
It's a premature season this year,
ODT admitted, made necessary by
wartime conditions.
However, ODT asserted, the sim
ple facts are that transportation fa
cilities are already so overburden
ed that the only way to insure de
livery of gift parcels this year is to
get them to the post office or ex
press company by December 1.
After. that, the government can
not guarantee delivery in time for
the holiday.
Briefly the reason for the early
deadline are listed by ODT as these:
19-54 gift shipping is expected to top
1943 by 25 percent. Gifts will travel
greater distances due to wartime
population dislocation. Nationwide
transportation and local delivery of
Christmas packages, when added to
the heavy holiday furlough travel,
with all transportation facilities al
ready overburdened by war condi
tions, creates a major problem.
The only solution to that prob
lem, says ODT, is co-operation by
the public in meeting the December
1 deadline.
If dairy cows are fed better, a
balanced ration at all times in line
with production per cow, milk
yields may be greatly increased,
says A. C. Kimrey, extension dairy
man at State College.
