at Mount Airy'B North Main
Street school.
One other lunchroom was op
erated by the NYA at Dobson.
Pour new lunchrooms have
been built this summer and will
be In operation during the com
ing year. These new rooms are
located at Westfield High School,
Lowgap High School and in the
Rockford Street and Bannertown
Elementary schools In Mount
Airy.
These 15 lunchrooms will em
ploy more than 40 workers, each
of whom must have health cer
tificates before they can work,
and all are required to wear head
bands, hair nets, uniforms and
aprons at all times.
The work of the county-wide
gardening, canning and lunch
room project, which is carried out
under the sponsorship of the
j ' i
THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA
North Carolina department of
public Instruction and the Surry
county board of education, has
drawn excellent cooperation from
all agencies. Mrs. Nance, in dis
cussing the work of the project,
paid particular tribute to Miss
Katherlne Bo wen, of Winston-
Salem, district supervisor, and to
M. 8. Withering ton, Surry coun
ty WPA construction supervisor,
for their fine cooperation.
The project cares for both pro
duction and dispensing of the
food to the school children, since
there are school gardens scatter
ed all over the county, where
large quantities of food have been
produced this summer by WPA
workers. This food is then can
ned by WPA workers and used in
the various lunchrooms.
Thus far during the summer
over 3,000 quarts of vegetables
have been canned and 4,946
pounds of vegetables have been
dried for the coming winter. This
fall other vegetables, such as tur
nips, collards, beets and carrots,
will be planted and used directly
from the gardens.
From these gardens the food
will be carried to the various
lunchrooms, where it will be dis
pensed. Last year the lunch
rooms served 36,000 meals per
month, with more than 15,000 be
ing served free to under-privileg
ed children. Other children were
served at a moderate cost of five
cents per item, with no distinc
tion made between the paying
children and the underprivileged
ones.
RESEARCH
While there has been a steady
growth in both personnel and
funds spent by federal and state
governments for agricultural re
search, the annual expenditure
now is less than $45,000,000 for
the United States.
