Mrs. Conklin Speaks
Mrs. Fred Conklin, chairman of the
Burleigh County Red Cross, was the
speaker at the Council meeting. Hell
talk centered about the operation Of
the community kitchen in the base
ment of the Salvation Army hall, a.
one Of the most important features Of
local welfare work. It is maintained
by the Red Gross, the Salvation Army
and other welfare organizations o.
the city, assisted by the local branch
of the American Association of Uni.
versity Women.
AS a background for her talk, Mrs
Conklin sketched briefly similar worl
carried on in Chicago under the di.
rection of the Red Cross and socia
agencies, to show that although on &
smaller scale, our activities in this di.
rection compare favorably in meth.
DDS and results with theirs.
Describes Organization
Describing In detail the plan o.
operation used in the kitchen, sht
pointed out that wholesome ane
nourishing meals are being served al
a cost of six cents per person. Thi!
has been possible because the bulk o.
food used is secured through dona.
tons from grocery firms and whole.
sale houses, who contribute leftover
perishable foods at the close Of eact
days business. Food Is collected by
the Salvation Army and prepared
there by an experienced cook. Addi.
tional supplies not obtained through
donations are paid for from the city
poor relief fund, she said.
Further saving Is effected through
the use Of vegetables from the Rex
Cross root cellar, where surplus vege.
tables raised this summer in the com.
munity gardens have been Storee
since they were purchased from thu
growers early this fall. Another
economy item Is bread, baked daily
in the kitchen from flour provided b,
the Red Cross, used partly for thu
meals and partly to supply destitut,
families where there are no facilities
for baking in the home.
It Is these small savings, Mrs. Conk'
lin pointed out, which have enabled
the city to carry on a more extensive
welfare program at a smaller cos
than in previous years and with {
proportionate saving to the taxpay.
erS.
Inasmuch as about two-thirds o.
the persons fed in the community
kitchen are local residents, the value
and necessity Of such system is ap.
parent, the speaker said.
To Serve Hot Lunches
It was stated that the next develop.
ment in connection with the kitchen
will be the serving Of hot noon lunche!
to under nourished pupils In the city
schools. This will be prepared in thu
kitchen under the direction Of nutri.
ton experts who are members Of tn.
American Association Of University
Women and this organization also ha!
volunteered to transport the food tx
the schools. Recently the group spon.
sored card party to raise funds te
purchase suitable containers fol
carrying the food.
An entirely different branch o.
welfare work-employment relief-al.
so was mentioned by Mrs. Conklin

city, men unable to find any othel
kind of employment are given worl
in cleaning and beautifying the city
streets, parks and Fairgrounds. The,
