It's an endless circle Of needy help
ing the needy, this hot lunch program
under which it is proposed to nourish
some 1000 Washington school children
whom fortune has not seen fit to favor.
There were needy food producers
the farmers, dairymen and the fruit
growers. There were unemployed wom-
en-. And there were the children who
were going all day without the midday
meal their classmates were enjoying.
So the Government bought from the
producers their surplus stocks, thus
converting their energies and labors
into the cash they required. Then 1t
began hiring unemployed women-at
least "a Of them this week-to help
serve some of that purchased food to
the pupils here in Washington who
otherwise would go hungry.
That's the wheel of events In this
three-way relief program. But it Is a
wheel that needs spinning" by outside
going. And that's where the school

gency relief agencies and even down.

restaurant come in.
Before a child could be fed, even
after funds for the service were made
available from various public relief
funds, trained dietitians undertook to
determine which foods, purchased from
an economical purse, would provide the
greatest nutriment. Miss Emma Jacobs.

Solued by Needy-Aid-NeedyP Plan

haps macaroni once IN q while-milk,
bread and butter, and fruit. Then
came the question of the preparation of
such lunch without the delays which
the setting up Of kitchen facilities In
each school would have entailed. A
restaurateur, who had followed in the
newspapers the difficulties Of the Dis
trict and Federal authorities in estab-
fishing the lunch service, offered the
facilities of his cafe. He was sympa-
thetic with what the authorities were
trying to do and agreed to make use Of
any surplus food stocks which the gov
ernmental agencies might turn over to
him. In short order a contract was
entered into with the nian under which
he was to prepare the food, pack 1t In
adequate. containers, and delira- it to
each school building in which tie
lunches were to be served daily-all at
8 cents per pupil. Under the terms OF
the contract, he agreed further to de-
duct from his pay the market cost OF
any OF the Government food stocks
turned over to him for the lunches.
As the system is working now, Miss
Jacobs and Mrs. Miller turn over to the
restaurateur, week in advance, list
OF menus. Thus the restaurant knows
ahead Of time Just what it is to serve
on Monday, on Tuesday, and on each
succeeding day Of the week. There is
no repetition Of lunch menu ON any
consecutive days.
With between 5000 and 1000 addi-
tional lunches to prepare each day, the
modest restaurant obviously had to aug
ment its staff. So again the ranks
Of the unemployed were dipped into
and the proprietor said today that 10
persons were hired by him to carry
the burden of the pupils lunches
Some Of these were men to aid in de-
livering the lunches, but most of them
were women who were put to work in
the restaurant itself. Besides the cook
ing Of the hot dish, there are about
1000 fresh rolls to be split and but
tered each morning and many Of the
new employees are busy at this time
taking task.
Preparation Begins Early.
Work on the preparation of the
lunches begins even before the chill
dren who are to receive them have
started out for school in the morning.
The hot dish is packed in sterilized
milk cans and the buttered rolls in
paper sacks. The lunches are put
aboard trucks and started on the
rounds of the 78 schools in which
needy children are pupils. By a quar-
ter Of IL each morning the last Of
the lunches has been delivered.
Following arrival at the school the
cans Of soup are placed on gas stoves
or. in some cases, single-burner gas
appliances, and reheated. The buttered
rolls are taken from the sacks and
one placed with each soup bowl. When
the children are ready to eat the soup
is ladled into the bowls and set out
on tables.
Although the lunch project was

con delivery is identical with the tradi--

As soon as the milk service Is begun

Fur Union Delegates
Smash Jim-CrOw i'll
ElktOn Restaurant

ELKTON, Md, Jan. IA restaurant
owner here learned to his diSmay
what it means to oppose the will Of
militant workers.
Four buses with 100 delegates of
the Fur Workers Industrial Union,
on their way to Washington for the
hearing on their code, stopped in the
town at 4 A. M, Friday morning. The
entire delegation walked into rest
aurant and we're about to be served
when the proprietor saw a Negro
worker among them. When the
owner refused to serve the Negro, the
entire delegation walked out.
They entered another restaurant
across the street, where the Negro
worker met with the same discrimina-
ton.
Among the fur workers were some
who had formerly been food workers.
Brushing aside the owner they en-
tered the kitchen and prepared the
food for the delegates.
The proprietor spluttered protest,
but stood helplessly aside as the
workers in high hulnor ate the food
dished out by their fellow workers.
After the meal each paid for exactly
what he had eaten.
