Here's one that puzzles par
ents.
Why does it cost from 20
10 25 cents daily to feed chill
dren in city school lunch
rooms, while in not a few
county schools the charge is a
nickel?
Answer: wPA labor and surplus
foods.
There are lot of reasons given,
most of them no doubt valid, for
this startling differential
But the differential itself. not
the reason therefor. IL what
smacks expense-hounded parent
between the eyes.
One reason expounded is that
city children are better able to
pay I'd like to see the truth of
that demonstrated. I doubt II Ia
comans, on the average, are better
able to pay than the parents in
say Sumner. where school lunches
SIRE five cents.
In other words. the question is
why do some communities, but not
most. profit from such federally
distributed funds?
Now, it appears, 1t takes
more than one bootlegger to
make a purchase.
- Since the recent hub-hub in Sc
sttle following a fatal speakeasy
shooting. the state liquor board
has frightened restrictions on bulk"
sales.
A person now can purchase no
more than six quarts, or 10 pints,
of liquor on any one day.
The move is designed to handi-
cap the illegal liquor dispenser
who used to cart off a supply from
the state store each day for nights
trade ahead.
Oh, sure. he still gets what he
needs. But he has to send a parade
of stooges 10 the rum counter
each TO buy six quarts or 10 pints.
So is added to life another COM
