7 Maryland Counties
Adopt Federal Plan
For School Lunches
By the Associoted Press

BALTIMOR Sept. 21.-The
Maryland Department. of Education,
administering the public school
lunch program this year for the
first time, disclosed yesterday that
system is in full operation in two
of the States % counties-Allegany
and Montgomery.
DR.. Thomas G.. Pullen, jr., State
superintendent of schools, said that
when the program is developed COM
pletely it should provide hot, nutri-
tive, inexpensive lunches for large
proportion of Maryland's 100000
public school pupils.
The National School Lunch Act,
passed by Congress last spring,
vested authority for administration
of funds in State departments of
education. 1t recommended that
counties control their own programs
under State supervision.
Maryland's counties and Baltimore
City have been asked to sign agree
ments for participation by October
l. So far, 13 counties have signed
agreements, six have appointed
supervisors, while Allegany and
Montgomery are leading the parade
with countrywide programs already
functioning.
DR.. Pullen said the greatest
obstacle to full participation is that
many elementary schools cannot
meet rigid sanitation requirements
of the health department for cafe
terra facilities, and must wait on
the States building and renovating
program.
Other difficulties lie in getting
equipment and trained personnel.
This year Maryland will receive
through the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture about $500, 900
for food and 100000 for equipment.
OF this total, SO per cent will go to
public schools and II per cent to
nonprofit private schools.
The State will channel this money
to the counties participating.

TURNS ON POWER AFT!
Err TRAILING AT HALF
TIME; PARRA'S 10
POINTS SET PACE

Key West High opened its home
season in basketball last night by
clearly outclassing strong alum
nj five, al to 26, at the school
gymnasium. Trailing by two
points at half-time the Conchs
turned on the power in the third
quarter and romped to an easy
victory.
The Alumni had some of the
best men in the City Class A
League but they weren't good
enough to stop the high school.
The grads lineup included Ray
Schoneck of Coca-Cola, George
Barber of Key West Transit,
Charlie Smith of Radio, three of
the highest scoring men in the
city league.
Lanky Albert PARA led the
Conchs with Is points showing
an almost unerring eye from the
free-Shot line and some sterling
play under the basket. Bernie c.
Papy, Jr., with his father, the
State Representative, in the
stands, found his eye in the Sec
ond half and rolled up 10 points.
Captain Kermit Sweeting left the
game in the third period with
painful hip injury received when
he landed on a fire extinguisher.
Five foul shots by PARA kept
the Conchs in the running in the
first period which ended at s.
all. The Alumni scored the only
basket. Aided by a couple OF one
hand shots by Charlie Smith the
Alumni took a IT'S lead by half
time, basket by PARA and two
by Galley Sweeting keeping the
high school from trailing by a
greater margin.
Come Back Strong
Coach N. H. Pepper made few
appropriate remarks to the Conchs
during the intermission and they
came back with a rush. PARA
tossed in three two-pointers and
Papy, Kermit Sweeting and his
brother Galley, one each to take
av27-17 lead. Going into the final
pediod, the Crimson and Grey led
80 to 20. Pappy and Para kept
the pressure on in the last quarter
and the high school was winning
going away as the final whistle
sounded.
Buck Sawyer of the Red Raid
ers was leading floor man for the
Alumni. Other grads seeing ac-
ton were Bob Kerr, Everett
Sweeting and Lysle McCown of
Key West Transit and Bob Smith
of Radio. The grads were coach
ed by Ed Woodson. A second
game will be played probably on
the next open date of the high
school, schedule.
