The Newport school lunchroom committee presented a report of its accomplishments during the past year and recommended pro jects to be undertaken during the coming school year at the recent and final meeting of the Newport Parent - Teacher association. A summary of the report on work done during 1949 50 follows: A 14 by 16 - foot work and stor age room was completed by use of both free and hired lab?r. The committee commented that much credit is due those individuals who gave their labor because of their interest in the school. fm. The storage room was equipped with shelves, storage space and preparation tables and was sainted by free labor. * A three-compartment sink, with a gas-heated sterilizing unit was added. This equipment, which saves time and labor in dish wuh ing, is required by the de(fl? ment of health for thefefety oil the children. The front screen door was re paired, kitchen sink drainage sys tem rebuilt, an outside entrance floodlight instilled, door and win dow fasteners provided to help pro tect food and equipment, and a large gas oven installed. This oven, the committee said, will enable the serving of better cooked and more palatable food of a greater variety. It costs $247 30, of which $75.30 has "been paid. The committee stated that another payment will be made in the near future. Objectives which the preset lunchroom committee feels should be set up for 1950-51 are the following: All uiadous should be screened (the scfBn frames are on hand, having been built by the vocational agriculture class); most of the windows are badly i'i need of repair; the exterior of the new storage rooms should be painted; all interior woodwork repainted; the grounds around the lunchroom should bt land scaped and beauti fied; new chairs and tables would be a great asset to the lunchroom not qaly in appearance, but in efficiency, the committee mem bers concluded. Members of the committee were the following; C. S. Long, chairman, Walter D. Roberts, Floyd M. Gar ner. Cornell Garner, Mrs. J. B Kelly, Mrs. Margaret Mann, and Mrs. R. T. Dickinson. Expense for all improvement:, was hyne by the PTA and the lunchroom.
