No doubt of il. Tacoma par
ents are interested in the
subject: The cost of school
lunches.
All families now are keenly
conscious Of the cold. hard facts
on the cost of food. for reasons
apparent TO everyone.
So II was natural that many
were struck by the disclosure that
school lunchroom prices In this
county range down from IS cents
TO less than five cents.
Many phoned this writer after
last weeks column on the topic;
many wrote in. Some were in
dignant, all were sstounded.
So far reaction from school
officialdom has been notable
due to it's absence-and that
is TO be regretted.
II there exists an impression in
school circles that the outlay for
school lunches In not an important
item in the budget Of many fam
lilies, then school officialdom Ia
grossly ignorant OF the problems
of the parent
And let me say here that I do
not pretend to have the solution
to this problem Of inequitable
charges. Neither do point TO II
merely for the sake Of heckling
school authorities or of engaging
in controversy.
II Ia q real problem that de-
serves attenfion--now.
Out at Spanaway school
today a hot lunch is served TO
each child for just three cents.

The startling fact u that most
parents Of students in this county
must produce from 20 TO IS cents

Hartford, Conn, November i3. -- (UP) - State Insurance Ccmmis. sIoner John c. Blackail warned to- day the states increasing autonio- bile accident toll may force insur- ance companies to raise their acci- dent policy rates.
 T wish to point out very em. phatlcally," Blackail said in . state- inent, "A fact which is somewhat cold and iEnpersonal, considering the shock of death and injury, but this fact is that the man back of the wheel is the man who makes the rates for Insurance coverage, and an upward trend In accident fre- que1lcy will be reflected very dis. toinctly In 8 higher loss ratio."
 Blackall said various insurance policy costs have risen recently, such as medical care, supplies, higher labor prices, and, also, Q shortage of repair parts have caused delays = all making for increased costs to the insurance companies.
