From Hogan
Helped Bolt in
ST. Paul Open

ST. PAUL, Mimi. July II R
Tommy Bolt traded his famed
temper for some unspectaculal
patience and a tip from Ber
Hogan to get back in the win
ner's circle today with a victory
in the $4,000 st. Paul Open golt
tournament.
The square-jawed Texan
fighting uphill throughout the
tournament, overlook little Jerry
Barber Of Los Angeles yesterday
to finish 10 under par for a 26s
in what was one of the steadi-
est shows of his stormy career
It earned him $4,000.
Bolt resisted the temptation
to gamble yesterday and kept
his head in the face Of q three
stroke deficit he carried into the
final round.
His own 68 did part of the
job and Barber's slow collapse
did the rest. Jerry, the tourna-
ment leader for three rounds,
slumped to a 73 and finished
two strokes behind with 27l.
Palmer Ties for Third
Fred Hawkins, st. Andrews,
Ill, and Arnold Palmer, the
1854 National Amateur cham
pion from uatrobe, Pa, tied for
third with 273.
Bolt won with near fiawless
play from the tee that found
him OF the fairway only once
during the four days. For this
he credited some casual tutor
ing by Hogan in Texas "a month
ago.
I'VE played a round at Fort
Worth and Ben talked to me
about my driving" Bolt said. II
had been doing a lot Of hook
ing. Ben changed my grip a
little--and the troubles gone" !"
Bolt caught Barber on the
10th hole yesterday with a birdie
three while the Californian took
a bogie. Bolt thereafter had
birds on the 18th, 18th and 18th,
and some brief misery on the
18th where he three-putted.
After hitting nine straight pars
before the turn, Barber had two
bogies and a bird on the back
nine.
First Nine Beats Barber
What whipped him was his
inability to subdue the first nine
as he had in three previous
rounds. Jerry was 80, 81 and 80
on previous rounds but didn't
come close to a birdie yester-
day.
Actually. 1t was young Palmer
who had the best shot at Bolt
over the final IS holes once Bar
ber started his skid. Palmer four
times missed birdie puts from
within six feet and came away
with q one-under II. Hawkins

Grating under the Federal pro-
gram.
1t is through the assistance of
the Surplus Commodities Corp.
that the school is able to offer
lunches for 20 cents each.
The only drawback in the
surplus commodities distribu-
ton is that schools cannot plan
future meals or base operational
expenses on commodities to be
received. The shipments are not
scheduled and there is no guar
.antee that anything will be sent.
There are no demands i'm the
regulations that we serve free
lunches but through the years
we have been doing some and
the demand for free lunches has
grown each year. Last year. we
were serving nearly 100 free
meals plus free milk" said Pin
ner.
The cost Of these free meals
was absorbed mostly by the
lunchroom. Various cuntriou-
tions paid approximately one
fourth of the cost.
Since the lunchroom is oper-
ated on a noa-profit basis, il is
the hope Of Primer and other
school authorities that through
such practices as economical
buying and cutting overhead,
the free lunch program will be
resumed to some extent this
year.
A rundown is currently being
made TO determine the actual
cost of each meal This rundown
consists of checking the costs Of
labor, food, equipment and cleo
trio current.
Shortly after the first months
operation we will have the ac.u-
al cost of each meal, served and
will be able TO determine the
exact number Of free Lunches
the lunchroom can absorb" said
Primer.
The lunchroom has no figures
since it was opened only several
weeks ago.
A factor, overlooked by most
people, in temporarily curbing
Tree lunches was last years
fire which destroyed the cafet-
cria and several thousand dol
lars worth of food.
I'VE are still approximately
$1,000 in the red from loss OF
food in last years fire and that
must be given consideration, "
declared Primer.
! He asserted that there was
nothing secrctive about the OPP
Grafton of the lunchrCom and
welcomed the opportunity to ex-
plain its operating pro cedure.
I'VE would like to eliminate
if there is any, undcrcurrent
feeling about the operation OF
the lunch ROOM"
One break, if il can be Classcd
rs that, was not operating the
lunchroOm the first three
months of school. This enabled
the school to have ar ample
supply of surplus commodities
on hand when the lurchroom

AN ample supply for the
moment WAS the way Pinncr

described it.
While the school is making n
desperate attempt TO feed
lunches, without charge to stu
dents who are needy, the prob
lem is a mounting one.
In conclusion, it appears that
the only way every needy STU
dent can be served a free lunch
is through considerable monet
airy contributions to the pro-
gram.
How much would it cost to
feed all the needy kids? Based
on last years approximation OF
100 free meals daily, it would
cost in the ncighborhood of 81
900 to carry the program, in
full swing, for the remaining
100 school days.
Exactly how much OF this load
the school can carry will be
made available to the public aft
er the current check is made on
the average cost of each meal
One thing is certain, the lunch
room is a giant headache.
