ZION-BENTON T. Fl. S. TO
PARTICIPATE IN THE
FOOD PROGRAM

Zion-Benton Township High
School will again participate
in this food program as in the
past years. The Federal Gov.
eminent will reimburse the
school in the amount of z cents
per full meal, a reduction of 2
cents from previous years. The
State of Illinois will continue
to reimburse local schools in
the amount of 212 cents for
each meal, a total payment of
912 cents as against 1112 cents
as in the past. This reduction
in aid will necessitate that
meal costs be raised in this
amount. During 1946-47 funds
were available for non-food as
sistance for such items as
equipment. ZBTHS was able to
secure approximately $3.50
worth of added cafeteria
equipment from these funds.
This type of assistance is to be
discontinued.
