talks to the home demonstration clubs
OF Ada and st. Stephens. and to the
Catlett Civic League. Miss Townley
spoke on food for children. and also
on the subject Of hot lunches in the
rural schools, as both the clubs which
she addressed are making plans to
Introduce the one hot dish lunch
into the schools in their communities.
Miss Townley gave. specific instances
in which, after the introduction of
the hot lunch. the teachers found
that not only was the general health
Of the pupils better, but that there
was also q decided improvement in
the qusfity Of their school work. Tho
greatest need for the hot lunch. IL
possibly in the one and two room
rural schools, and the project can
be carried out in these schools with
comparatively little expense and ef-
fort though II the larger schools
should decide to undertake 1t, IL could
be worked out on q larger scale.
The st. Stephens Club members
have decided that each. member shall
supervise for one day in each month
the preparation and serving Of the
lunch In the school. As there are
twenty-eight members In the club it
them will find it necessary to give
much Of her time
One suggestion made by Miss Town

school in which there was no hot
lunch served could use a homemade
of q round pasteboard oatmeal boz.
covering It with oilcloth, fitting in q
wide-mouthed bottle surrounded BY
q piece Of asbestos and packing, such
as paper. cork. dust. etc. The bottle
may be slipped out for washing, and

tents hot for i've or six hours.
