NEEDY PUPILS
FACE HOLIDAYS
WITHOUT LUNCH
.WPA Won't Give Food
During YuIe Recess

If needy children want food dur
ing their Christmas holidays they
will have to obtain it from sources
other than the Board of Educa-
ton and the District government.
This became apparent today
with the disclosure the District
Works Progress Administration
will discontinue serving free
lunches to school children during
the Yuletide recess from Decem-
Der 81 to January 3.
LACK OF FUEL
A spokesman for Miss Mary
Steele. director of the project, said
this decision was dictated by the
fact that the meals are served in
the schools and that the fuel bud
get for the Board of Education
made necessary the closing OF the
schools during The Christmas
period.
Some 5000 children in about 81
schools have been fed by the free
lunch program this year. Under
taken by the District Fairgrounds
Department last summer, the prof.
ect was transferred to the auspices
of the Board of Education last
September when schools opened
for the year.
WHERE is MONEY
Referred to District Auditor
Daniel ]. Donovan, queries on the
lunch problem were met with the
rejoinder:
I'VE would like to see the
children ed, but where can we
get the money?"
