Delaware Schools Spend
S482,000 For Lunch Foods

Delaware farmers and food deal
ers have a good customer in the
States school lunch program, ac-
cording to preliminary figures for
the 1948-49 school year compiled
by the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture. Local expenditures by
delaware public schools participat-
ing in the National School Lunch
Program are estimated at better
than S4S2,000 for food alone. In ad-
dition, nearly one and one-half mil
lion pounds of farm products were
distributed in the State by USDA. !.
The lunch program, administered
locally by the Delaware Board of
Education and nationally by the
Production and Marketing Admin
iistration, served 1865 Delaware
youngsters in the peak month of
the school year just ended, with 73
schools participating compared to
1859 children in "a schools the
previous year. Nationally, the
program reaches nearly 7 million
children
Outstanding example of items
bought from local producers is
milk, of which about 100000 half
pints were consumed along with
the lunches in Delaware the past
year. Funds for buying these foods
come mostly from local sources.
Supplimenting these funds were
disbursements from the Federal
school lunch appropriation. In the
past year, Delaware received $685.
1872 from this ALLEGATION.
The food distributed in the state
by PMA came from two sources.
Some of it was bought by the Fed
eral Department with part of the
75-million dollar Congressional
school lunch appropriation. The
commodities were those that could
be bought and handled economical
ly in large quantities while provid-
ing important supplements to the
youngsters diets. Distribution of
such food in Delaware included 23,-
$50 pounds of American cheese,
13,200 pounds of dry milk, 5000
pounds of peanut butter, $4,000
pounds of canned tomatoes and
$500 of tomato paste.
The remainder of Federal foods
distributed in the State came from
stocks acquired by the Department
in connection with surplus removal
and price-support operations.
These foods are not restricted to
participating schools but may go
to any eligible non-profit institu-
tion. In this category, Delaware re-
ceived some 100000 pounds of po-
tatoes, 106,s00 pounds of sweet po-
tatoes, 10000 pounds of honey, &c.
900 pounds of dried eggs, 105,O00
pounds of canned applesauce, 49,
900 pounds of dried fruit, and over
1900 gallons of concentrated
orange juice. "a

Unemployment Benefits
Denied Miners

The Virginia Unemployment
Commission has denied that I'M
ion miners were available for
work" all the time during the
three-day-week period which pre-
coded the late coal strike. There
fore, the Commission has ruled
that the miners are not entitled
to unemployment compensation
for time lost while the mines
were working only half time.
Twelve hundred miners in
Tazewell, Buchanan, Dickinson,
Wise and Lee filed claims with
the Commission, alleging that
they were available for work"
and unemployed during the time.
John Q. Rhodes, chairman of
the Unemployment Commission
recently notified the applicants
that their claims were denied.
Thereupon, the miners appealed
to the circuit courts of the differ
ent counties. Their pleas will be
heard by judges Smith, Morton,
and Sexton.

How long will it be until cof-
fee has become a luxury too rich
for the average breakfast table?
Apparently, it won't be long if
consumers keep ON boarding. The
National Coffee Association esti-
mates that already $50 million
pounds of coffee is in boarding.
Says the Association report:
There's no question but that
present excessive demand is en-
tirely artificial and unhealthy"
On the local front, grocers in
this town say that many consum-
ers are wanting coffee by the
case. One store has limited pur-
chases to four pounds per person

Prices To Rise

odd part of it is that the shelves

Actually, there is not much
cause for alarm. Wholesale cof-
fee prices have risen on news
that Brazil's crop will be short

crop will not really affect the

SINGLETON TO BE GIVEN
GUARDIANSHIP OF
COMMITTEE

Delegate A. R. Singleton stands
in line for the craftsmanship of
the House committee on Moral
and Social Welfare in the coming
session of the legislature. A mem
Der gets to be a chairman of a
committee by seniority, meaning
longest service. Mr.. Singleton was
appointed to the Moral and Social
Welfare committee when he
first went to the General Assem-
bly, in 1914.
Verne Smiths position as chair
man of the Minerals and Min
ing Committee will probably go
to Dr. Witten of TaZewell.

COUNTY COMMITTEE TO
BE REORGANIZ9D

According to the chairman, the
Democratic county committee
will undergo thorough reorgan
ization through the months of
December and January. To this
end, a series of five district meet
ings has been called for the dis
cussion of the problem of reor-
ganization. At a later date, a
meeting of the entire county com
mittee will be held for the pur-
pose of electing a county chair
man and secretary.
A good many eyes are turned
in the direction of 1851, when
the COUNTY election will take
place. There are few announc-
ed candidates for the Democratic
honors, and there are others who
are reported to be in receptive
moods.

The Bristol Herald Courier,
never precise in its reporting,
few days ago made a droll little
slip. The old horseback rider
who thirty years ago carried the
mail between Raven and Grundy,
it said, would be a part of the
show arranged at the Tazewell
coal village to celebrate the open
ing of the motorized mail service
between Bristol and WEIGH, West
Virginia. The veteran mailman, it
added, would be mounted on the
horse he rode a third of CEN
fury ago.
Are there any horseback mail
carriers left in Dickinson Coun-
ty? Until year ago, George
Burchett rode mail route from
Bartlick into the mountain. Less
than two years ago, Walker Stan
ley took the mail on horseback
from Clintwood to Almira. Jeeps
now bounce along these rocky
trails.
Do you recall any of the mail
route contractors and carriers OF
the old days? Charles Chase and
Patton Willis were among the
contractors. Fenden and Scotch
Willis, Moscow Hibbitts, Thur
man Anderson, P. Sherman Null
Inns and Marvin Phillips We're
few of the carriers In winter
weather they wore hoods, heavy
overcoats and felt boots. A slick
er for rainy days was a standard
part OF equipment. There was the
old saying, Let it rain; there's
nobody out but the mail boy, and
he has a slicker." Their COM
ings and goings were nearly on
the dot, and their journeys some
times measured off the hours
for people along the way. 1t was
said that one old couple could
tell when Sunday came only as
the carriers did not make their
appointed rounds.
Old timers used to tell of Sing
ing" John Gillian from Round
Top, who walked a route once a
week between Wise (then known
as Gladeville) and Grundy. AS
he approached his staying place
late in the evening, he would
break into a gallop and burst into
song.
After the Clinch Valley extern
sion Of the Norfolk and Western
Railway was made, Coeburn sup
piled the western side of this
county with outside mail. Do you
remember how the post office
was a sort of social gathering
place as the people waited for the
late mail from Coeburn? Prob
ably. st. Paul and later Dante
was the railhead for the Erwin
