BY Mrs. Chas. Krantz
Pine County Farmer Fieldwoman.

Children are the yardsticks of a
nations health. The school lunch
program has reached the end of its
rope as far as WPA cooks are con-
cerned. 1t has been a fine expert
ment. The menus have been varied
tasty and nutritious. Children with
normal healthy appetites have
banked on these lunches, and many
time they have come back for g.
4, or helpings as long as there
was a remnant left in the huge
kettles.
A word, a tribute to the faithful
men and women in our country who
have spent hours and days and weeks
working in garden, raising, can
ming, storing and drying the vege-
tables for the school lunches. The
best part of the school lunch pro-
gram is that it has been available to
all the children that could not 60
home for noon lunch, and the chill
dren from the homes that have needed
it most have benefited the most
Physical fitness has improved visibly
for many children, so many teach
ers have testified. The cooks and
the gardeners will long be remem-
bered as important members Of the
school staff.

PINE COUNTY RURAL
SCHOOL NEWS
A. e. GUSTAFSON, County Supt.

Tom Stine, who has been principal
at Kerrick for number of years,
has enlisted in the marines. Tom
is well known in Pine county as an
outstanding athlete as well as for
his high scholastic rank. He will
serve his country well in any field.
We are losing another one of our best
teachers "for the DURATION" but we
hope that Mrs. Stine will continue
to carry on her teaching.
Mrs. Elizabeth (Van Leeuwen)
Bowers has been well chosen for the
primary room at Sturgeon Lake. Miss
Odrun Torvick has left for army
service with the WAACS.
Rationing of book No. is being
handled this week in all schools.
The local rationing board mailed
materials and instructions to our
teachers. We feel that although these
instructions arrived quite late from
headquarters, they are, nevertheless,
quite clear and detailed. Our teach
ers and chosen assistants are very
capable of reading and following in
structions.
The government rules also required
at least one county group meeting, to
study these instructions. This rule
came out too late to arrange for
several, so we called one at Pine City
last Thursday evening. AS was ex-
pected, only few teachers were able
to come. Supt. Graves of Pine City,
was the answer man.
Many of the government rules are
reasonably modified since last May
For instance: 1t is permissible to
send materials by mail this time, and
free postage stickers were provided.
Evidently they now are convinced
that the U. S. mail clerks and mail
carriers are as dependable as any
one could possibly be. So several of
us did not need to burn extra gas
and tires this time to deliver little
packages over the entire county on
crowded time schedule. Rules are
thus modified and improved by ex-
perience.
Tin cans are to be cleaned and
taken to your grocery store. Are
you saving them? This is important.
They are now being processed at
several large centers. Tin must be
kept in circulation. Most sources
of raw tin are now in the hands of
the enemy.
The government has announced the
volunteer service of the bottling COM
panies who use very small\amount
of tin in their bottle caps These
companies are donating their trucks
and service in picking up tin at all
stores and taking these loads to the
sorting and shipping centers. Pine
county groceries and restaurants
should notify your Pine City Bottling
Company, when you have collected
a few boxes of cans.
Grease and fats are not to be
wasted. Save in clean tin can.
Keep cool. Take it to your meat
dealer. When he collects a supply
worthwhile, some authorized rend-
ing company will pick it up, and it
will be used in the manufacture of
explosives. One authorized company
is The Minnesota Rending Co., 2247
