Show PAGE EIGHT I BOX ELDER JOURNAL Brigham City, Utah Friday, November 11, 1949 Labor Costs Low For Box Elder School Lunches Continued From Preceding Page The federal contribution, inabundant" commodicluding ties contributed by the department of agriculture, figured at regular wholesale price, was 4.57 cents per meal in cash, 2.24 cents per meal in commodities for a total of 6.81 cents per meal. The state contributed 7.1 cents per meal. Cafe operators, and even housewives, will marvel at the labor east of less than one-hal- f food cost, or well under the total cast of the meal. This low percentage is possible because there isnt much supervision of the program. And the cooks cook for a lot of people an average of about 50 meals served per cook. At for example, the three cooks prepare meals for about 170 students and six teachers. On each school lunch staff, there Is one unit manager. If there is just one cook, then the d one-thir- I unit manager is the whole shebang. If there are a dozen cooks, shes still the working foreman. She and her cooks come to work at 9:30 each morning, and its seldom they havent got the dishes washed and the decks cleared for the next day by 1:30 oclock in the afternoon. The unit manager receives $3.50 a day, the other cooks $3 a day. Fifteen dollars o'r $17.50 a week isnt high work, pay, even for part-timbut the cooks all seem to enjoy their work and take pride in doing the best job possible. The cooks at each school are local and women, usually mothers, are often their own children among those they serve. One year, early in the school lunch program, when there was no money to employ cooks, mothers took turns, serving as cooks one week each without pay. Thats the spirit that makes unnecesextensive supervision sary, those close to the situation believe. Menus arent fancy, but theyre good. Wholesome, meals are served in good quantity, and theres always more if a child still is hungry. The "Type A lunch menus are prepared by Miss Marjorie Myer, state nutritionist, and Mrs. Ruby Hansen, now in her fourth year as Box Eider district school lunch supervisor.

The day of the football game, two small boys stood outside the main gate of Ohio stadium, counting their money. They had just 20 cents between them. Having decided that crawling over the fence was .beneath their dignity, the older of the two hit on a .plan. With 20 cents he 'bought four copies of the Columbus Citizen football special at five cents a He gave two of them to copy. his buddy. Then, holding on paper over his arm and waving the other in his hand, he strode up to the gate. 001 your football lineup! Name of each and every player! he shouted. The gateman, evidently thinking newsboys were to be admitted free, let him pass, with his friend right behind him. Once inside the stadium, they quickly sold the papers and watched the game still with 20 cents in their pockets.
