Linda did not wait to hear more.
She stumbled toward a car and

But she would not cry! Not ever

she decided, and asked the way to
the diner. She tried to straighten
her hat, gave up, and let her curls
blow free of it. She deepened the
color of her lips, let her cheeks stay

There were no other passengers
around. That was good.
Suddenly the train stopped and

Hungry school children in
nerial ValleV2 NOT this wear

Hungry school children in I'M
perial Valley? Not this year.
Hot lunches, good, nourishing
hearty meals are served every school
Gay to 1900 children in 90 schools in
Imperial Valley by means of SRA
distribution of surplus commodities
and arrangements made by school
officials.
If it were not for the hot lunches
those 4,600 children would have slim
pickingS, one of the sponsors of the
projects said this week. For many
of them that hot lunch is the only
food they get all day.
while this system is not perfect,
Director Ned Holmes of the SRA
said, these hungry, undernourished
youngsters get at least one substan-
tial meal every day. That is the
best we can do"
Teachers throughout the system
reported that the school work OF
the 1900 children showed marked
improvement since January when
Imperial Valley press., 1940-02-28
1900 CHILDREN G0BBLE UP HOT
LUNCHES EVERY DAY IN VALLEY
SCHOOLS, SERVED THROUGH SRA

the lunch project went into effect.
School and public health nurses
were almost universal in their praise
of the project. declaring they noted
a marked improvement in the ply
sical condition of the pupils.
The government sends the SRA
what surplus commodities they have
on hand and Holmes arranges to
send each school in the project the
supplies they need. The SRA also
supplies women to do the cooking if
the schools do not have the neces-
sary personnel to handle it.
Menus vary from week to week
according to what the surplus COM
modify warehouse happens to con-
tain. 1t is necessary, of course, for
the schools to get other food sup
plies sometimes but in general the
surplus commodities do the trick.
Holmes is arranging to have milk
included in the commodities avail
able to the schools.
Many a tempting menu could be
concocted from this weeks supplie;j
as delivired to the schools. The list
included apples, beans, flour, corn
meal, rolled oats, eggs, raisins,
prunes, and butter A clever cook,
Holmes agreed could make some ex-
cellent luncheon dishes out of that
list of supplies.
The lunches are served only to
the children whose parents are un-
able to supply them with satis-
factory lunch or with money to buy
from the school cafeteria or lunch
room. =

Nursery
Hell


Pinch hitting for busy mothers,
the Ell Centre day nursery was es-
tabliShed early this winter in the
parish hall at ST. Paul's Episcopal
church.
The nursery for the small children
OF mothers who are employed is
sponsored by the Episcopal church
and the Women's Ten Thousand
club. Mrs. Paul Jenkins is chair
man of the committee in charge
while Mrs. Devon Ellsworth is gen.
eral supervisor.
Ten children, all of pre- school
age, are left at the nursery each
day. Five other children 90 there
after school to wait until their mo-
theirs finish their work and can take
them home.
Sponsors of the nursery consider
this winters venture in the nature
of an experiment and hope, if there
is need for it, to enlarge their scope
and facilities next year.
Not only are the watched over
from 7:30 a. m. until p. m. or
later if necessary, but they are fec
hot lunches each noon and those
who require it are given extra
nouriShment. Each child is giver
a physical examination each morn
ing and those with colds are isolated
and those with other ailments are
sent home.
The Ten Thousand club donated
$100 to the nursery for the purchase
of cots and bedding for the child
rens' daily maps and for what food
was not donated by private indivi-
duals or other agencies. Each mo-
ther contributes what she can for
the care and food given her child.
A woman supplied by the SRA
takes care of the children ant
cooks lunch for them. Two girls sup
piled by the NYA help with care
and supervised play
Many mothers welcomed the nur-
sery and declared they were CRATE
full that they had a place to leave
their children during the day in
stead of being forced to leave them
with neighbors or unattended.

as far east as San Antonio.
Mrs Earle Henlsing, wife of one
of Niland's largest growers of to-
matoeS, dipped her spoon into a
dish of Mulligan stew served at the
counter of one of the citys new
restaurants, and declared:
We've had dozens of inquiries
from fasteners during the past
! month, all interested in purchasing
land in the INLAND area. You see
INLAND tomatoes have been featured
in menus of the restaurants all over
the nation. In fact the name INLAND
on tomato is comparable to Sterl-
ing on SilverWarei"
inland Active
Because of the successful tomato
season and the current construction
work along the Coachella branch of
the All-American canal, inland s
business center is bustling with un-
precedented activity.
Seventy-five lots have been sold
since canal work was started, thirty
new homes have been constructed,
auto courts have been built, and
still there is a housing shortage.
A new dry goods Stotre has been
erected. there are two new grocery
stores. three new restaurants, a half
dozen service stations and the pound
of hammers is reminiscent of spring
cleaning time in a carpenters shack.
inland residents consider the pre-
sent boom a permanent one because
when the canal is completed in two
or three years uncultivated land
north and east of NNiland, a part
of the East Nest tract, will be re-
opened for entry.
AS soon as water is made avail
able. Nilandcrs will tell you, there
will be a rush for land that will
bring back memories of the land
rush days of the 10Th century.
Actually however, such a land
rush is hardly probable. There will
Mesa lands, both in the INLAND area
and in sections to the south, but
the Secretary of Interior will be
able to forestall bona fide rusheS
such as characterized the settlement
of the far west.
The East Mesa will be opened
in units of about 10000 acres each.
Veterans will be given 81 day pre-
ference and each settler will be re-
quired to show $4,000 in cash or
equipment Each settler must also
be able to show at least five years
experience as a farmer.
Splendid Soil
East Mesa land in the inland area
amounts to only a small percentage
of the entire 175000 acre tract, but
residents of the northend city be-
lieve that soil in that section offers
unparalleled possibilities in the pro.
duction of tender vegetables, such
as tomatoes. peas, squash and egg
plant.
The steep slope of land in the
inland area affords splendid drain
age and at the same time sheds
cold air to the extent that INLAND
suffers little frost damage, even in
coolest periods.
Approximately 1900 acres are
planted to vegetable crops in the Nj
land area at the present time
growers reported, and several thous-
and more acres will. be available
when the canal is completed anc

lusk Hits Rising Surplus
In Tax 10 Aid JobIess

Pointing out that huge surplus
was being built up each month by
the unemployment compensation
tax, Rufus Lusk, president Of the
Washington Taxpayers Association,
last night told the Washington
Restaurant Association that the law
should be amended either to sus-
pend payments for a time or to
materially cut them.
While he said that the board here
has recommended changes in the
act, including increasing the bene-
fits, lengthening the period of COM
pensation and shortening the wait
ing period, they do not go to the
heart of the problem, which, he con-
tinued, is the continued piling up Of
surplus. Since January /, 1886, he
asserted, when the tax on pay rolls
started, to September 80, 1899, ST.
384 900 had been collected; interest
plus collections as of September 80
amounted to $17,919,000. During
the same period, he contended, only
$2,819, 900 has been paid in benefits.
Benefits, he said, have equaled but
24.3 per cent of all collections and
15.7 per cent Of all collections plus
interest.
