A PESHASTIN NEWS LETTER.

Hello everybody:
Well every morning when | wake
up | expect to see snow, but so far
so good and here's hoping. And you
know that old saying, "No news is
good news" Well, some news is
good news this week, for you know
meeting and it was fine! There were
put over one fine stunt, that is--hot
lunches at noon for children who cant
go home to dinner. And this is the
way they are going to work it: The
people from the NJ. f. church up on
Peshastin creek are under Mrs
French's supervision; all people il
and around the block and east to edge
of our district are under Mrs. Weis
enstein and the people on north side
of Peshastin proper are under Mrs.
Daggett. Mrs. Frenchs district will
have it first and Mrs. French will APP
point two women each day to go and
prepare the lunch, one hot article,
then Mrs. Weisensteins ladies and SO
on. Funds are being solicited amonF
patrons who have children to profit
bv this plan and there are several
who have no children in school who
think it is such a good plan that they
are contributing too. Not only mon
ey, but milk, butter, vegetables and
so forth. The lunches will be free
so this way is taken to raise the mon
ey for supplies. This method is simp-
ly on trial, however, and if it doesn's
work right, different plans will have
to be made The whole thing in =
nutshell is this: Hot lunch Zone ar
ticle) will be served free every noon
to children who come from such dis
lance that they have to carry lunch,
families are being solicited for funds
from soc IN to So according to chill
dren in school who will profit by
plans, anyone having extra mill;
THAT they have formerly been feed
ing to stock or chickens) can help Q
lot by giving it for this work, as chill
dren, whether yours or not, are far
more important than stock; also any
vegetables which you may have in
abundance. And if you want to con
tribute for the good of the cause.
whether you have children in school
or not, you can call either one of the
ladies l have mentioned or Mrs.
Springer. Then after these plans
were made, Miss Ruth Hannan's
room came in and sang dear little
song, and Helen Carriker played .
very pretty piano solo, and Miss Mil
dred French recited number which
exactly depicted daddy" when sick.
Milton Kirby then recited 81 have a

clever little gestures throughout. and
was followed by Doris Harvey with a
sweet little recitation. Mrs. Osborne
read a very good paper on "The Per

room in to sing land there were
Thompson recited. Mrs. Springer
then read an article on the difference
between imagination stories and real
falsehoods. Then we went up to the
domestic science room, where the D.
S. class served lunch: creamed chick
