I A glass of milk for each child from a relief family can usually be secured.

The hot lunoh plan is being worked out in an effort to help the undernourished children from relief families. Cooking utensils and bowls and spoons can usual ly be secured from homes in the community without cost. Mrs. Foster said several teach ers were planning to let children who were not on the relief list provide materials for soup and In this way pay their part of the cost.
