School Cafeteria Is Big Business;
Profits Seen In Improved Health
Mrs. Hall Speaks
To Rotary Club
At Village Inn
Mrs. L. T. Hall gave business
men of the Southern Pines Rotary
club an interesting glimpse of a
business they knew little about, at
their luncheon meeting held Fri
day at the Village Inn.
This was the business of serving
some 500 meals a day . at the
Southern Pines school cafeteria,
for 20 cents a meal. The business
operates on a budget of about
$21,000 a year, or about $2,000
every 20 days; its profits are not
cash, but health, vitality and bet
ter school work for the children
of the community.
Mrs. Hall, a home economist for
10 years, is in her third year as
manager of the cafeteria.
All meals are planned to be not
only appetizing but nutritious.
Each is required by state and fed
eral law to contain “the Basic
Seven,” the food elements which
make up a bcilanced meal. Since
charges must be kept at a mini
mum this represents quite a prob
lem. It is accomplished with the
help of the federal government,
which diverts surplus commodi
ties to the school lunch program
and lunchrooms operating imder
its regulations. Eggs, canned
goods, meats, fresh and dried
fruits and other products arrive
from time to time, and menus
are planned to use them most
purposefully. This week, for in
stance, 700 pounds of turkeys
were delivered; the Wednesday
menu was revised to provide
delicious and nourishing turkey
lunch.
Only nine of the children are
unable to pay for their lunches
These receive free meal tickets,
and get the ssune lunch as the
rest. There is no difference in the
tickets, and no child knows which
schoolmate is getting this benefit,
Mrs. Hall said she tries as far
as possible to give the children
the dishes they ask for, but where
there are so many, with diverse
tastes, it is obviously an impossi
bility to please all, every day. By
the trial-and-errcr method, how
ever, she has found which are
the most and the least popular
dishes, and keeps these in mind as
she plans her menus.
Good results of the program
have been apparent almost from
the start, in the benefits to the
children of hot food in the middle
of the day. Many who in the be
ginning felt the program was un
necessary, a “useless frill” and
too much for the school to take on,
have been won over.
Especial attention has been paid
to certain children suffering from
dietary deficiences, and their im
provement in health and respon
siveness has been one of the
pleasures of her job, said Mrs.
Hall. For some children, it is the
first time in their lives they
have received well-balanced
meals. Poor nutrition, she remark
ed, is net restricted to the poor in
purse.
There have bepn criticisms of
the lunch room but these are
usually the result of misconcep
tions, she said. Some have, for in
stance, felt that ice cream should
not be sold to the children, as it
might affect their appetite. How
ever, they are not allowed tc
have ice cream until, and unless,
they have eaten their lunch.
President Russell Lorensen pre
sided over the meeting. He ap
pointed H. L. Brown membership
chairman succeeding Earl Hub
bard, who has had to resign from
the club on account of the press
of other business.
It was voted also to withdraw
sponsorship cf the annual Christ
mas party for the highway prison
camp, which the club has sponsor
ed for three years. Costs of the
Halloween party, amounting to al
most $400 aside from the mer
chandise prizes, which were dona
ted, have left the treasury too
Ic-w to undertake it. President
Laarenson expressed this thought,
however, that the project is > a
most worthy one, and the hope
Elks Hold Annual
Memorial Service
The annual memorial service
held by all Elks Lodges on the
first Sunday of December was
conducted by Southern Pines Elks
Sunday afternoon at the Southern
Pines Country club.
The memory of Elks who died
during the past year was honored
in the solemn ceremony. For the
local Elks, though, it was a mem
orial tribute to members of other
lodges, as none from this lodge
had passed on during the year.
The regular ritual for the cere
mony was employed, led by
Exalted Ruler D. W. Whitehead
and other officers of the lodge.
John E. Cline made the memorial
address and music was provided
by Mrs. L. D. McDonald at the
piano. Mrs. Bryan Poe sang a
solo, also a duet with Mrs. Mc
Donald.
