Hot Lunch Committee Looking Forward To Enlarged Program In 1855

The volunteer committee work ing on the winter Hot Lunch Pro- gram for school children report that over 30 women have been canvassing the community for contributions to put over the pro- gram again this year.
 The incentive to carry on the program this year is so that when the new school is completed next year Nome may participate in the nation wide program with other schools.
 As many people cannot be reached by visitation, two places have been designated where do- nations may be left: the Nome Drug Store or with Carrie Me Lain at the City Hall. Anyone wishing to mail in donation may direct it to Mrs. Dewey Goodrich.
 The committee states that no offering is too small and every penny counts toward assisting in this worthy project.

to why the man should take his
life. The body was discovered by
Fred Barr who owns a farm near
the summit Of the mountain. He
reported he found the body as he
was walking to St. George, several
miles north of Parsons. The man
had been dead over "a hours when
discovered. The man apparently
had walked into the wild region,
removed his coat and neatly folded
it on a wooden slab at the base of
the tree, walked up the sloping
trunk of the tree to a large, heavy
limb, tied a new half-inch rope
around his neck and around one
of the larger limbs and stepped
into space.
