The management and conduct Of
the lunch room at the High School
was the subject Of a discussion
among the members, the question be-
ing whether the board should pay
the salaries OF the helpers direct or
have the managers pay them from
the income from Inc lunch sold TO
the students; whether the lunch room
| should be made self-supporing and
whether there should be an increale
in salary for one Of the helpers.
From the remarks made during the
debate it appears the lunch room
help is paid by the lunch room man.
ager. whereas some members OF the
board thought they should be paid
by the board. II also developed thai
there was a deficit which was not q
deficit to the running Of the lunch
room las year. and that this yeaI
the bookkeeping would show thai

the poor eyesight Of the person
pcrusing the books
There was more talk about the
lunch room management and finally

''twiddle-twaddle." but DR.. Washburn
claimed Il was good business. The
result OF all the discussion. however
was that the proposed salary increase

come.
Further confusion was added wher
the original motion was amended "a
read that If the lunch counter 6ic
not bring in enough money to pay
the help then the money could be
borrowed from the school board
Dr. Scott. however, stated that the
lunch room in the Wilmington Higl
School was one OF the finest institu
tens Of the kind in the country and
the pioneer in supplying the children
with wholesome food at almost cost
II was also explained that the pres
ent rise in the cost Of food had als'
forced the prices Of the lunch in thl
High School to rise proportionately
