Good Meals For 20 Cents a Plate — That’s What Your Kid Gets At School It Takes Planning And Know-How To Serve 500 Lunches RYDER CUP (Continued from Page 1) meet the topflight Britishers is expected to bring a sharp upsurge of interest. ^.ctual reservations for rooms will not be made for some weeks yet, but the information as to the potential number which can be ac commodated is necessary for the answering of inquiries. “We’d hate to have to tell peo ple to stay away, we have no room,” said Captain Shearwood, “and this we may have to do un less Southern Pines and surround ing towns help out to the utmost of their ability. “This is the top international amateur golf event of the year, and we are proud to have it in the Sandhills. We have had many big sports events in the resorts’ long history but this is the biggest, and we want to extend our best hospi tality to everyone who wishes to attend.” This week The Pilot is inaugu rating a service in aid to the Southern Pines school cafeteria Elsewhere in the paper you will find printed the menus for each day of next week, Monday t^irough Friday. (See page 13). This will be done each week, following a request made by Mrs. L. T. Hall, school cafeteria man ager, who said that large numbers of parents have indicated to her their wish to know the menus in advance, as a help to their own meal-planning at home and for better use of the cafeteria. The cafeteria opened Friday, serving 460 lunches. Attendance has increased each day. In an other week or so, when the first and second graders are eating lunch at school (at present they are being dismissed in time to go home for lunch) the daily board ers are expected to increase to well over 500. That they will get good balanc ed meals—miraculous indeed, for the 20-cent charge—may be seen from a glance at the menu list for next week. Opened Last November Mrs. Hall, a graduate home economist—who, however had not before run a school cafeteria — learned the hard way last year, after the cafeteria opened in No vember. ,It was the first time in Southern Pines history a cafeteria had been operated at the school. When it opened, it was consider ably short of equipment. Now all major pieces off equip ment are in, and the business of serving healthful meals, at rock- bottom cost, to a horde of hungry youngsters every day is in full swing. In the portion of a year the cafeteria has already operated, ex cellent resiilts have already been seen in the health, attitude and mental alertness of many children who now eat a fresh, hot meal at noon instead of a paperbag lunch. The State helps out in many ways—with menu suggestions and also with a reirnbursement of five cents per child' per meal, whiph helps with maintaining the low operation cost. For Needy Children Children who cannot afford even a 20-cent lunch eat anyway and no one, besides the school people, knows which ones these are. Some local civic clubs have contributed to the cost of these free meals. Among the beneficia ries have been some children showing bad signs of undernour ishment, and some of the most satisfactory results have been ob served among these. Most of the children, though, are healthy, normal youngsters, with the usual eager appetites—and the usual likes and dislikes peculiar to themselves. One of the most difficult problems, Mrs. Hall says, is planning menus which, while providing the dietary essentials, pleases the elementary children as weU as the more sophisticated tastes of the high school boys and girls. The teen-agers, for in stance, like salads, and complain if they don’t get them often, but the majority of grade-school youngsters see nothing attractive about lettuce< No Choices Possible Many of the students want to know, said Mrs. Hall, why differ ent choices of foods cannot be of fered. Besides the fact that this couldn’t possibly be afforded at present costs, it is not permitted under the state school lunchroom program. > Everyone pays the same, and gets the same. Contrary to general belief,-the cooked greens are the most pop ular vegetables, vyith turnip salad and spinach at the top. Most un popular are beets, carrots and sauerkraut, though these must be used from time to time for varie ty’s sake. The one universally favored dish is—hot dogs! Diet Planning A minimum of two ounces of protein is provided on every luncheon plate—meats, fresh or smoked; fish, canned, fresh or frozen; cheese, eggs or dried beans. With the protein goes a minimum of three-fourths cup of vegetable or fruit, or a combina tion. Bread, butter (margarine, actually—a good grade, high in vit- amjn-A content), and milk are provided daily. At least three days out of five, a dessert is in cluded, and a green salad at least once a week. All breads, except loaf bread, which is occasionally used, also cakes, cookies and puddings are baked in the cafeteria kitchen. The luncheon bread is often hot biscuit or cornbread. Fruited gel atins are also made there, and are a favorite dessert. Canned vege tables are mostly used, on account of the vast amount of labor in volved in preparing fresh vege tables. Milk In Cartons Grade A homogenized milk is used, purchased from the Mont gomery Dairy at Troy, which this year is using the desirable paper cartons. Foods are bought at wholesale for economy, except once in a while when an emergen cy arises, when local retail stores are patronized. Meats come from a packer, and produce is purchas ed twice a week. The cafeteria is now equipped with complete refrigeration, with approximately 100 cubic feet of storage space in two huge refrig erators, also another refrigeration unit used solely for milk and kept at a temperature under 45 degrees Stale-Inspected The cafeteria is state-inspected just like any commercial restau rant, and must measure up to aU of the same meticulous standards Last year it bore a Grade A rat ing from the start and “we hope to merit the same all through this year,” said Mrs. Hall. Besides inspection by ' county sanitarian, a representative of the state school lunchroom program comes by every now and then, to check from every angle, make suggestions and otherwise help with the maintenance of high standards. Helping Mrs. Hall in the prepar ation of foods are her three highly competent assistants from last year—Mrs. A. D. Jones, Mrs. M, L. Palmer and Mrs. W. J. Sessoms, About seven student helpers are used in various capacities, receiv ing their lunches free in recom pense. . The total of lunches served in cludes the teachers and cafeteria assistants as well as the students If it weren’t for the matter of a little law which says cafeterias in state institutions cannot serve commercial meals, it would be fine thing if everybody in town could take a whirl at school-cafe teria eating. They would be amazed at what delectable and nourishing meals can be served so economically, if modern knowledge, training and equipment are brought to bear, on the problem. They would find out, too, that Southern Pines is pretty lucky in its splendid new cafeteria, and in the lady in charge. TOWN TAX (Continued from page 1) for recreation to become a munic ipal department. While the board emphasized at the time this prob ably could not be done right away, it would be a goal for the not too distant future. Discussion was held of two pos sibilities, Millen park, where i large lake used to exist,,and Swan Pond, owned by E. H. Mills of Pinebluff, who at one time offer ed this property to the Town for recreation uses. Commissioner O^Callaghan, the board’s expert on such matters, gave it as his opinion that the restoration of the Millen Park lake would be too great an engineering problem, as storm drainage now going through the ravine would have to be piped out under the lake at considerable expense. There is a storm drainage prob lem also at Swan Pond, which lies partly within the city limits in the triangle of Midland road and the Manly road, to the north of town. The problem there, how ever, it was learned, would riot be nearly so great. The lake it self is ample in size, easily,^ acces sible and surrounded by acreage which could be developed with out difficulty for recreation use. Mayor Page appointed Commis sioners Patch, Clark and O’Cal laghan, also Donald G. Case, con sulting engineer, to a committee to study the possibilities of Swan Pond, and to confer with Mr. Mills to see if he is still of a mind to give it to the Town. Zoning Problem The board declined the appli cation of Henry Threadgill to open a store in a section of West Southern Pines zoned as residen tial. The action was taken on recommendation of the city zon ing board, on the ground that the area zoned for business is suffi cient to take care, of business needs now and for years to come. On a report that two stores are already operating in. the residen tial section, the board moved to get the police to check into the matter and-determine if the zon ing ordinance is being violated. Those Signs Again The wish of a local citizen to have the town ordinance enforc ed prohibiting commercial signs along May street was tabled by the board, which left it up to the complaining citizen, if he wishes to indict or restrain. In discussing the signs in question, while it was agreed they do nothing to en hance the highway’s good looks, it was decided the whole question of just what is a commercial sign, and what to do about it, is a }ittle too complex for the board to un dertake to determine on its own account. Mayor Page expressed the wish Blue & White Bows To Candor In First Contest Southern Pines Puts Up Game Fight; Score—22-12 Candor High school made six- man football history here Wed nesday afternoon by becoming the first team to defeat Southern Pines in a regularly scheduled football game since the sport was started here seven years ago. The score was 22 to 12. It would be a simple statement of fact to say that Candor had the more powerful football team. They had. Frank Wyatt, the vis itors’ senior tailback, was all that had been said about him. He skill fully directed his team’s superior weight advantage, and was the wheelhorse of Candor’s running attack to account personally for two of his team’s three touch downs. Outewighed and outplayed most of the way, the Blue and White were never outfought, and made game of it throughout. In the third period, with Candor leading by one touchdown, a smile from Dame Fortune might have easily turned the tide in Southern Pines’ favor. As it was, the fickle lady smiled at Candor’s Bill McCal- lum, as he garnered one of Wood ruff’s passes intended for Paul Williams down on the Candor 15, to gallop 65 yards to give his team two-touchdown lead. Southern Pines took the open ing kickoff, and on Woodruff’s end sweeps, and a pass from Bug gies to Bowers, put the ball down to the Montgomery team’s 14; From here Roy Newton skirted right end for the score. Buggies failed to convert and the score was 6 to 0. Candor came right back, and behind Wyatt’s powerful running matched the score. McCallum kicked the extra points to give Candor an 8-6 lead. Late in the second period, fol lowing an exchange of puntS, Candor scored but failed to con vert and the half ended with the visitors out in front 14 to 6. Midway of the third quarter, a blocked Southern Pines punt was followed by a Candor fumble, re covered by Bowers on the Blue and White 20. Buggies passed to Bowers, who lateraled to Wood ruff, who carried to the 40. Wood- ruff then passed to Buggies for a first down on the 30, and again to Roy Newton to the Candor 15. Back again to pass. Woodruff’s heave was intercepted by McCal lum, who went 65 yards for Can dor’s third and last score. Undismayed, Southern Pines surged back with a drive that could not be stopped. Little Joe Smith took the Candor kickoff on his 18 and with a Blue shirt con voy squirmed, swirled and finally bulled his way down to the vis itors 23. Built with the squatness of a tank destroyer. Smith plung ed four times for a first down on the 6 as the quarter ended. Pick ing up in the fourth, little Joe ran for 3 and then 2 to the 1. But the whole Candor line smeared his third attempt for ho gain Woodruff then passed to Newton in the end zone for a touchdown to end the day’s scoring as Bug gies failed to convert. Fort Bragg Road Matter Hanging Fire Pending Action By Highway Division The differences in local Opinion as to whether the Connecticut or Indiana Avenue route should be hardsurfaced to meet the Fort Bragg road being built to South ern Pines, has reached nowhere this week on account of the fail ure of further action on the part of State Highway Commission personneL At a meeting held Thursday afternoon, August 30, the discus sion was tabled pending further information to be secured by Sixth District Highway Commis sioner Coble in conference with Fort Bragg authorities. The commissioner also said a traffic engineer would come to Southern Pines, the following week, to make a check of both routes. A public meeting on the matter was also planned. Nothing further, however, has happened. Mayor Page reported to the town commissioners at their meeting Wednesday night. The August 30 event was a special meeting of the town board with Commissioner Coble and Di vision Engineer T. G. Ppindexter. A number of interested citizens were present. Findings of survey ing engineers were presented showing that the Indiana Avenue route, only slightly longer than the Connecticut Avenue one (by the old tram-track bed) would cost some $10,000 less to build and could also be built in far less time. The reason given was the swamp crosged by the Connecti cut Avenue route, which Commis sioner Coble said would require an extensive fill-in job with the building of a bridge. Voit Gilmore, representing the Indiana Avenue residents^ pre sented petitions from persons rep resenting the Indiana Avenue and Morganton Road neighborhoods, objecting to construction of the Indiana Avenue route, which, he said, would have to go through a thickly populated section, with a number of children. W. Lament Brown, also speak ing in behalf of the Indiana Ave nue petitions, reported that 36 homes are involved on that route, only 10 on the other, all set well back from the road. W. O. Moss, of Mile-Away Farm, said that the paving of the Connecticut Avenue route would NEWS FROM HOME The boys amd girls at col lege say Tb© Pilot is "just like a letter from home."

Speaking in be half of the “winter people,” num bering several hundred who come here for the riding and hunting during the season, he asked that consideration be given to leaving Connecticut avenue unpaved. James' Boyd, of Weymouth Es tate, said he was trying to remain neutral, letting the matter be set tled with the best interests of the community at large as the sole consideration, since he stands to lose either way. Both routes run through his property, and either one must be widened at sacrifice of land and trees. He said he would not stand back on this ac count from either route which was eventually agreed on, but he felt that the hunting interests deserv ed earnest consideration. BEAUTY ASSISTANT Miss Betty Baldwin, of Rock ingham, formerly with Lupton Beauty Salon there for four years, is now with the Sandhills Beauty shop in Southern Pines, said Mrs. Lillian Dabbs, proprietor. Miss Ethel Blue Britt, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Haynes Britt, went to Raeford last week to take up her duties as a member of the faculty of the Raeford school. She is teaching the sixth grade.
