work for small salaries. For six
years the Club House has been

presidents of clubs in that district

man of a committee to pursue
the matter further. Mrs. CLANCY
has reported to Mrs. Bishopric
the following:
"The information we have been
able to get is of a nature that
makes us feel we should claim
the attention Of every woman in
the state federation. The schools
are facing a most dangerous sit
uation because of teacher
shortage and this child feeding
problem"
Mrs. Bishopric Immediately
wrote to Senator Clyde r. Hoey
and informed him of the concern
of clubwomen that the school
lunch program may be too dras-
tically curtailed, or abandoned al.
together if federal aid is not con-
tinued. II know we have to con-
slider whether or not the program
can be carried on as a non-profit
cooperative enterprise" 5 h
wrote, ''but if the qualified people
who have studied the question
feel that the allowance of nine
cents p e meal served is more
than h government should put
into it, could it not be lowered
somewhat but continued? We
have so many children per fami,
ly in North Carolina, more than
in any other state, children need
a warm well-balanced meal al
noon, they can be taught nu-
triton this way better than any
other perhaps, and we therefore
regard this program as essen
tial."
1t is hoped that other club
women will write to their repre-
sentatives in Congress about this
important matter.
