Medical Relief Board Holds Meeting j The Medical Relief Board of Duchesne County met Tuesday with Miss Leda Whitmore of Price, , A delegation from Arcadia met with the Board, asking that their bus be routed around by Bridge-lan- d This is the permanently. route which has been used as a detour since the bridge was burned on the road formerly used. The Arcadia citizens think the detour is a better road, although about 10 miles farther than the old route. The Board, however, decided that since the bridge has been repaired, the Arcadia bus will have to go back to the old route. A Hanna delegation met with the Board to ask that their 7th and 8th grade students be kept in Hanna for school instead of being transported to Tabiona. This request was also denied by the Board as was the request of the Farm Creek people that their school be restored, doing away with bus transportation to Tabiona. They were told that the bus transportation would have to be continued for the present time, at least. A delegation from Pleasant Valley, south of Myton asked for transportation for some 30 students from Pleasant Valley to Myton. At present, some of the children are riding horseback and the others are staying home. They were told that an investigation would be made and probably some arrangement made for transportation.

School Children Need Hot Lunch School systems would improve the effiency of their students by making the lunch period Just as important a part in their program as is any subject in the curriculum, says Miss Elna Miller, extension nutritionist of the Utah State Agricultural college. Provision should be made for a hot dish every day and all students encouraged to take advantage of it. The noon meal served at Bchool and supervised by a parent or teacher affords an excellent opportunity for instilling good of table etiquette and social courtesies. It also acts as a check on the mothers preparation and packing of the lunch sent from home. After creating a wholesome environment for an adequate school lunch, the next concern is to make that adequate lunch available. A hot dish made.wlth milk is essential. Sandwiches, salads and raw vegetables or fruits will cimplete the lunch. The students whose lunch contains something hot has a much better chance of being physically fit and mentally elert than does the one who brings a cold lunch or none at all. There are several ways of attacking the problem of the hot lunch. Perhaps the simplest way is for each child to bripg a hot milk Soup or mlk drink n a thermos bottle. In some rural schools the board of education has supplied wash boilers which are placed on the flat top of the furnace or stove. Each child brings his hot food in a small fruit jar. At about 11:30 a. m. these jars are placed on the rack in the boiler which contains a small amount of hot water. By noon each child has his hot food ready with very little effort. or associations clubs could sponsor the project and have different women appointed for a few days at a time, to prepare and serve the food. One woman may be employed to prepare and serve the hot food for the entire year. Some schools have the children bring vegetables and milk and other foods from home, while in other cases organizations, during the summer, have prepared for the hot dish by canning, storing and drying vegetables to be used for this purpose. Meat and meat soups have been canned so that last minute will be less difficult. Whatever the method used, It is essential that every child have an opportunity for at least one hot food at noon If he is to be efficient in his school work as well as in his physical development, says Miss Miller.
