daughters arrive on the scene with
three or four little friends whom
they've "asked to stay for lunch. |"
At the Manteo lunchroom, the
staff knows exactly how many
people it will serve and is ready
for them at 11:25 promptly.
Meals are served cafeteria
style. Pupils arrive in scheduled
classroom groups and hand their
lunch tickets to the P.T.A. mother
who is on duty for the day. The
children take trays and silverware
and pass before the serving coun-
ter between the dining room and
kitchen (see picture); after their
trays are filled they seat them
selevs in orderly fashion at the
tables, filling them up in order as
they come.
Nobody's rushed; yet every
thing operates so efficiently that
by the time the dishwashers ar
rive for work at 1I:4O they can
work steadily until their job is
done. Mrs. Gaskill and Mrs. Will
liams usually finish their days
work about pm.
There are all sorts of regaIa-
tons for the operation of a /
school lunchrOOm that must be
strictly adhered to obtain Glass
A rating. In addition to sanitary
regulations, there are many rec
concentrations designed to in
sure that the school children get
balanced meals of appetizing
food. Parents are happy to be
certain their children are well
fed when they eat away from
home. Mrs. Gaskill takes ex-
treme care to see that all the
recommended foods and quanti-
ties of food are Incorporated in
to her menus. Some of the most
important such provisions are
these: that every child shall get !
bottle of milk with each meal;
that two vegetables and some,
kind of meat, or meat substi-
tute and a fruit or vegetable
salad or dessert is included in
each lunch; that a pound of but
ter shall be consumed with each
so servings.
By careful, large volume buy
ing and with the aid of govern.
ment surplus foods which are
given to the schools, the manager
is able to prepare and serve nour-
ishing lunches which can be offer
ed to the school children for the
cost of zoe per plate. Approximate
ely $500 meals are sold each
month at this price.
Kids'H Be Kids
Mrs. Gaskill plans to serve
roast beef, chicken OF ham as the
chief dish of meal at least
twice a month. At zoe a plate, she
could probably fill her lunchroom
twenty times over with adults on
those days, if they were permit
ted to eat there. But-this will be
no surprise to any mother of
growing child-on the days the
menu calls for hot dogs, the lunch
room is far more likely to be bulg-
ing with hungry kids than it is on
the days that chicken or baked
ham is served.
Sample Menu
Tie menu for last week at the
school lunchroom is typical of the
lunch served throughout the year.

Lunchroom STAFF

taAOue CAtt S4pAalH SuaEs
LunchrOom STAFF
Mrs. Laura Gaskill Of Wanchese
is the Iunchroom manager. She
has worked there for two years
and has been manager for one
year. Mrs. Gaskill does the buy
ing, plans the menus and keeps
the books for the lunchroom as
well as experimenting the prepar-
alton of all food served.
Her assistant is Mrs. Nellie
Williams, who has been with the
lunchroom staff for one year. Cora
McCleese and Beatrice Brickhouse
work in the kitchen under the d.
rection of Mrs. Gaskill and Mrs.
Williams. The health certificates
of all kitchen workers are posted
in the kitchen for anyone's inspec-
ton.
One mother volunteers to as
sist each noon with the serving
and collection of lunch tickets.
The mothers are members of the
Manteo P.T.A., which has taken
upon itself the duty of assisting
in the lunchroom for the first time
this year.
Two things appear to be the
keys to the efficiency with which
the lunchroom operates: the
staff's pride in its work and
sound system.
The spotlessness of the dining
hall and kitchen, the careful, &C.
onomical arrangement of equip
ment and supplies where they can
be most easily handled, and even
such seemingly minor thing as
the gayly colored new curtains at
the diving room windows-these
things bespeak pride in those who
are responsible for the mainten-
ance of the lunchroom. Converse
ton with Mrs. GaskiIl or Mrs.
Williams about it quickly convinc-
es one that they mean quite sim
cerely the sentiment that Mrs.
Gaskill expressed recently, eve
put the best work we know how to
do in this place because we want
to be proud of it." Anyone who
has visited the building will grant
that the ladies have every right
to be proud.
The System
The first lunches each day are
served at 11:25. By 1890 all the
pupils who have chosen to eat
there that day are through eat
ing-on an average day, 40 are
fed in the hour and five minutes
of serving. No one can accomplish
job like that without system, of
course. The system the Manteo
school uses is very simple; like
most simple arrangements, it de-
ponds for success upon everyone's
knowing exactly what is expected
of him and when it is expected.
Mrs. Gaskill and Mrs. Williams,
who have long before made out
the menu for the day and there
fore know exactly what they will
have to prepare for lunch, come to
work at $3.50 in the morning. Each
class reports the number of stu
dents who will eat at the school
lunchroom before formal class
work begins. Thus, Mrs. Gaskill
knows before nine o'clock exactly
how many persons to prepare for.
This prevents the occurrence of
any such crisis as mothers are ia
miliar with when their sons or

Court Holds Notice
TO Evirt Unnecessary
Under Rent Rise Act

Landlords seeking eviction of
tenants who refuse to pay a 20 per
cent rent increase under the emer-
gency rent act effective last July
need not give 30-day notice, a
Municipal Court judge ruled
yesterday.
Judge Frank H. Myers reached
this decision in a test case in
which a landlord, Robert H.
Humphries, filed suit to evict two
recalcitrant tenants of his apart
ment building at 1865 Kennedy
street NV.
Intent in Act AnalyZed.
Judge Myers ruling came in the
face of the long standing require
ment of the District of Columbia
Code for 30-day notice before evic-
tion.
The Municipal Court jurist, in
his 14-page opinion, went into a
detailed analysis of congressional
intent in passing the increased
rental legislation this year.
He pointed out that, despite
the District Code regulations, no
mention was made during pre-
Legislative hearings of the 30-day
notice requirement.
&c. Particularly during the
postwar years." Judge Myers
wrote. Congress has been trying
to relieve the landlords from the
inequality of some of the burdens
imposed by the limitations of the
Emergency Rent Act"
Sees No Notice Needed.
"The court" he continued, sis
of the opinion that Congress did
not intend a further delay in
the increased rentals eff
fectlve and that a reasonable in
depreciation of the Rent Act does
not require 30-day notice
There is no intent, Judge Myers
said, to create new tenancies. but
to preserve intact the existing
tenancies and merely to increase
The present rentals to meet pres
cnt-day requirements and stand
ards"
