doesn't know whether it was a dog
or a dog driver that bit him. About
half the men are wearing full
boards. The rest of us are shaving
regularly. 1 shave every day with
one of Commander Noville's cleo
trio razors so l don't need warm
water. The rest of the shavers have
a terrible time getting in the cooks
way to melt now for their shaving.
We are in great need of a barber.
Cutting each others hair produces
some startling and comical results.
We are in need of exercise now
that our outside work is nearly W.
and the storms, darkness and cold
prevent US from wandering much
out in the open. We are putting UP
a punching bag and a couple of sets
OF parallel bars. We also will do
some walking and skiing when the
weather permits. The doctor is
watching u diet very closely.
We are finding it difficult to keep
ourselves and our clothes clean.
The popular pastime is stealing hot
water from AL Carbone, u Cam
bridge, Mass, cook, but even when
we've stolen it we have to be very
careful using it for fear of sudden
chills. There is a difference of as
much as thirty-five degrees in tenn
perature between the lower and up
per hunks in our sleeping quarters.
The warm air rising creates a s1tua-
ton in which the man in the upper
bunk is perspiring, with his cloth
ing all thrown open, while the man
below is bundled up, freezing. When
we wash our clothes we haven't
r. ON to hang them up in the bunk
houses. They freeze instantly when
hung in the other buildings. and it
is almost impossible to dry them.
Speaking of weather, we are hav-
ing plenty of it here-storms, biz
yards and cold such as l have never
imagined. But where Admiral Byrd
is, it is even worse. The lowest tenn
perature we've had has been 60 de-
grees below zero. The Admiral has
already reported 72 below, and the
winter is just commencing!

through a milk marketing agree

This was disclosed today by
AAA Administrator Chester C..
Davis, in explaining that If
nearby farmers so desire local
distributors can be licensed by
the Government to pay the pro-
ducers a fair price, which would
be determined in cooperation
with the AAA.
In a "monopolistic" market like
Washington where most of the
distribution is controlled by one
firm, Davis declared, the AAA is
prepared to set a maximum
retail prices above which the
distributors may not sell.

SCHOOL LUNCH.
SYSTEM To Be
CENTRALIZED
Dietary Expert to Be in Charge
With All Food Prepared
in One Kitchen

Plans for a complete centraliza-
tion of the school lunch project
were worked out today at a
meeting in the District Building
Of the Citizens Advisory Com
mittee on the work.
Under the plan as approved
a central kitchen will be set up,
under the control of the District
Government, and all meals will
be prepared there. At present
the meals are being furnished
under contract by delicateSSen.
It is expected that the kitchen
will be set up in the old Bradley
School, near the Department of
Agriculture. The meals will be
prepared there and distributed to
the various schools. The school
now is used to house Civil Works
Service sewing projects.
Diet Expert to Control
The kitchen will be under the
supervision of a dietary expert.
At least one person is under con-
sideration for this post, but no
appointment has been made. In
addition to this expert, a COM
mittee of three persons has been
named to supervise the operation
Of the kitchen.
This committee is composed Of
Capt. Louis Webster, whose SER
vices are loaned by the War
Department; DR.. Louise Stanley,
of the Bureau of Home Econom-
les, Department of Agriculture,
and Mrs. Mary Lindsey, Of the
Dodge Hotel.
A contract has been signed
with a local dairy for the fur
nishing of $500 half-pints OF
milk each day for the lunches.
The first of this will be included
in the lunch today. Halbert also
has been instructed to buy
oranges to supplement the menu.
Money for the milk and oranges
will come from relief funds.
DR.. Louise Stanley Of the Blu
reau of Home Economics, Depart
ment Of Agriculture, was asked by
Mrs. Roosevelt to be present at
her press conference today at the
White House and explain what
was being done to remedy condi-
tions uncovered last week by an
unannounced visit Of Mrs. Roose-
welt to schools serving lunches to

Blame for the inadequacy Of

ley said, can be traced directly to

Children will be selected, after
medical inspection and on the ad-
vice of the individual teachers, on
the basis of undernouriShment.
AS yet no answer has been found
to the problem of preventing such
children from the humiliation of
being set aside from their school,
mates as charity cases.
OF this particular point Mrs.
Roosevelt said:
II think the ultimate Objec-
tive Of all school lunches should
be a universal plan whereby all
children, whose parents so de-
sired, should lunch at the
school on the basis that those
able to pay should pay and that
no one but the school authOri-
ties should know the names Of |
those not paying"
