be untitled. It has been difficult to
get applicants interested. Limited
state aids prevent school salaries
from meeting the rising trends in
other occupations. Some teachers
are attracted by enormous increases
in other localities. Most board MEM
bers feel that it is fair and proper
to release teacher who has a chance
for advancement. Saturday we thus
lost Miss Pearl Schwartz who goes
to a large school system in Michigan.

Surplus Commodities for Schools.
This office is pleased to announce
that through the cooperation of the
Surplus Marketing Administration of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture the Minnesota Division of
Social Welfare and the Pine County
Welfare board, a substantial volume
of food commodities, in wide variety,
will be available to schools operat-
ing or desiring to establish school
lunch programs or to supplement
ordinary noon lunches with a hot
dish and Tor fresh, canned and dried
fruits and fruit juices.
It should be emphasized that this
is not relief program and that the
use of these commodities by our
schools does not, in any way, involve
the certification of children or their
parents to public assistance rolls.
The objectives sought through the
ALLEGATION of these foods to schools
are to cooperate in nationwide en-
deavors to improve child health, teach
better dietary habits, improve ma
tiOnal health standards and to in
crease domestic consumption of these
vitamin-packed products of American
farms produced in such quantities
that normal markets cannot absorb
the entire crop, output.
Present indications are that the fol-
lowing types of commodities will be
available during the present school
year: Prunes, faisins, one addition
al fresh, canned or dried fruit, grape
fruit juice, grapefruit segments, eggs,
dry beans, possibly some pork pro-
ducts, honey, peanut butter, vitamin
enriched white flour, graham flour,
pork and beans,r corn meal, lard, and,
depending on locality and growing
conditions, perhaps fresh vegetables.
Teachers and school officers who
wish to make it possible for the
children in their schools to have the
benefits afforded by this opportunity
need only complete an application
blank and mail it to Mrs. Portia H.
Gum, executive secretary of the
county welfare board, whose office
is in Pine City, Minnesota. Write
for blank at once.
Those desiring additional informa-
ton may call at this office or the
office of the county welfare direc-
tor.
