Rural Schools To
Benefit From
Lunch Program

Jackson, Miss, September %.
1916 - The day Of the tin bucket
with its biscuit and molasses. sweet
potatoes and eornbread- cold
may be gone forever for the rural
school children of Mississippi"
says Mr.. W. E. Ammons. State
Contact Representative, PIMA, 'for
the last Congress passed and the
President signed on June 4, 1916,
bill creating a Nationtl School
Lunch Program. This bill provides
for a permanent school lunch pro-
gram and authorizes the Congress
to appropriate for each fiscal year
such sums as may be necessary to
carry out the provisions of the
act" The main purposes of this bill
are to help provide hot lunches for
school children and furnish market
for farm products which are in
abundant supply, especially those
that are produced locally.
Mississippi schools have had the
benefit of Federal assistance in
their lunch programs for several
years. These programs, however,
have been temporary and limited
in nature" Mr. Ammons said. The
present program, besides being
permanent one, gives Mississippi
larger appropriation of funds than
ever before for food assistance and
in addition it provides funds to be
used in purchasing equipment for
use in storing, preparing, and serv-
ing food in the lunch rooms.
Mississippi's share of funds for
food assistance this. session is ST.
806,330 It's share of fund for nom
food assistance (equipmenD is
$374,388 The funds for food assist
ance are to be used for reimburs-
ing approved schools for the cost
of obtaining food up to a specified
rate per meal. This rate usually
covers from 35 to As percent of the
price of the meal. The children
who are able, pay the remainder.
Those unable to pay are served
free or at reduced cost. Applica-
ton may be made by school for
funds to purchase equipment after
they have been approved to par
ticipate in the lunch indemnity
program.
The Production and Marketing
Administration of the U. S. Deart-
ment of Agriculture has entered
into an agreement with the State
Department of Education to spon-
sor the program on a statewide
basis. The State Department of
Education in turn has designated
the Office of County Superintend-
ent of Education in each county to
sponsor the program in county
schools, and the Board of Trustees
of Separate School Districts to
/ sponsor the program in their dis
trict schools. 1t is contemplated
that private and parochial schools
will be sponsored by their appro-
pirate governing Boards Of Super
intendents
Large schools have been among
the first to make application and
to cucumber funds for their pro-
grams, according to Mr. Ammons.
THE small schools are usually the
ones that are slow to participate, .
he said "These schools may do
well to make their plans for oper-

September l, Mr. Ammons says,
show that individual farms for the
entire State have obtained county
committee approval for practices
that total only $4,900000, leaving
a balance of nearly one and half
million dollars to be used before
January l, 1947. The purpose of the
State committee in removing in
dividual farm limits, he said, is to
permit farmers who have already
used their farm limit to obtain adj
ditional assistance in carrying out
practices. with the tremendous
need in Mississippi farm land for
erosion control and other conserva-
ton measures" Mr.. Ammons said,
I'VE can i'll afford to fail to use
funds which Congress has made
available for farm conservation
practices. In most cases Federal
assistance amounts to 7O-80Go of
the cost of carrying out the prac-
tice.
Practices for which unlimited as
sistance is available for the re-
mainder of 1916 are application of
triple superphosphate, application
of Inning materials, construction
Of terraces, fumes in gullies, stock
watering ponds, secondary drain
age ditdhes, firebreaks in farm
woodlands, and for timber stand
improvement of farm woodland.

Must Still
Register

In view of the fact that l8-year-
olds are not eligible for induction
by Selective Service, considerable
confusion has developed over the
state as to whether or not a person
upon reaching the 18th anniversary
of his birth is required to register
with Selective Service.
1t Col James L. Davis. State
Director of Seleetive Service. states
that the Selective Training and
Service Act of 1910, as amended,
provides that every male citizen
and every other male person resid-
ing in the United States between
the ages of l8 and 65 is required
to register. The only exceptions to
this provision are those who have
a certain status, such as members
Of active or reserve components of
the armed forces, cadets in the SER
vice academies or those who have
been accepted therefor, students in
advanced course, senior division,
Army or Navy Reserve Officers
Training Corps, diplomatic repre-
sentatives, attaches, etc.
1t is the duty of every person
discharged from the armed forces
who has not previously registered
to present himself for and submit
to registration within 10 days fol-
lowing the date of his discharge.
The duty to register is a con-
tinuing obligation, and if for any
reason any such man is not regis
tered on the day fixed for his
registration, he shall Immediately
present himselff or and submit to
registration before the local board
in the area where he happens to
be.
1t is the duty of every person
required to register to have a
Registration Certificate in his per-
sonal possession at all times, and
upon request must exhibit it to
any law enforcement officer, any
of the Selective Service
System, or other official designat-
ed by the Director of Selective Ser
vice. The failure of any person to
have such Registration Certificate
in his possession shall be prima
facie evidence of his failure to reg

CAROL BRICE'S
TECHNIQUE is PERFECT
LIKE AN INSTRUMENT

carol Brice the great young
American C~ontralto, was soloist on
Saturday evening, August 8 with
the Boston Symphony Orchestra
in the second of the Brahms pro-
grams of the Berkshire Music
Festival. Miss Brice performed
what is popularity called Brahms
Alto Rhapsody" which the compo-
e listed as Opus No. SO with a
setting of verses from Goethe's
'Harzreise".
Miss Brice broadcasted the
same work with the Boston Sym
.phony over Station WIZ before an
estimated ten million listeners. A
side from the interest in this no
BILE and rarely heard score, DR..
Serge Koussevitzky provided an
ideal background for the quality
of Miss Brice's voice. Her voice is
very rich and effective which is
characteristic of that type of voice
and Brahms music with the wide
skips so dramatic in implication,
from high to low tones, demanded
mucch of the singer.
Miss Brice's voice is fresh and
warm in all its registers and the
singer showed herself a musician
of intelligence and taste in her
treatment of the melodic line. She
did not emote or exaggerate in the
expression of the feeling which in
this music is not of the exterior
variety.
Indeed, a nearly instrumental
maintenance of lie and consistency
of style goes far toward meeting
the effect that the composer evil
IDENTIFY intedded. The voice was like
a gorgeous band against the tap
estry of the orchestral and Choir
al sonorities. The music spoke fo1
itself as the composer intended
in terms Of grave emotion anC
classic beauty.
The above statements are the
profound pronouncements of Olir
Downes, the recognized Dean and
authority of American vocal crit
les and techniques.
Mr.. Downes who has been with
the New York Times for nearly a
quarter Of a century has heard
and criticized f%avorably and un-
favorably all the singers of our
day and to win favorable COM
ments from one whose eminent
position is unchallenged in his
profession undoubtedly proves
that Carol Brice, at q years old is
one of the greatest singers of our
day. Most singers get started on
the real road to fame in their late
thirties and early and middle for
ties. 1t is a tribute to her music
al genius that she has accomplish
ed so much in so few years.
The young singers next appear
ance will be at the Lewisohn Stad-
ium in New York City on August

program for Isaac Woodland, the

vacation before beginning her con
cert tour in middle September.

He tossed in some statistics to
