Ashby, state director of Parents Invited to Visit School Lunch Rooms Schools and Parent - Teacher Association units in the Beaver County area have been invited to join in Utah's first observance of School Lunch Week, March 14 to 18, Rodney A.

Organizations cooperating in the observance are State and district departments of education; state, area and local school food service organizaions; state and local Parent-Teache- r Association organizations; and city and county officials. Bryce Draper, Beaver County Elementary Supervisor and public relations chairman for the Board of Education, invited the general public to eat lunch at any of the schools of the county, any day during School Lunch Week. Mr. Draper asked that persons planning to visit the school lunch rooms notify the school principal one day in advance, so arrangements can be made to serve all who attend. Price of the meals will be 25c, Mr. Draper said. "A series of educational activities will be carried on within schools and communities to acquaint them with the school lunch program," Mr. Ashby said. "Emphasis will be on a realistic approach which considers the 'whole child' through a well balanced lunch as part of their regular school program." 'With our school lunch program we strive for a five-pabalanced meal," the state director said. "This includes (1) a main protein dish, (2) fruits and vegetables, (3) bread, (4), but-- i ter, and (5) milk. Milk is served It is with every school lunch. nature's most nearly perfect food. Dietary tests show that the normal student needs a quart of milk every day, and our school lunch program helps to fill that need." Among the many School Lunch Week activities planned are special programs in elementary schools presented by pupils, wilh parents invited as guests, junior and senior high school student A. panel discussions before P.-and special banners audiences; and diplays in schools and in stores. . rt Visiting Teachers Will Meet in Conventions The Beaver Stake LDS Relief Society Board and officers of the various wards in the stake are sponsoring a Visiting Teachers Convention for this coming week.

The Beaver Library was erected about 1914 or 1915 under the Carnegie setup, and was one of the first of these mad Dossihlp fnr the smaller towns of Utah. It was secured for Beaver largely through the efforts of Dr. Warren Shepherd, who was mayor at that time. The first library board consisted of Mrs. Emma Barton, John P. Barton (now living in Phoenix, Arizona), and D. I. Frazer, then the editor and publisher of the Beaver paper. Mrs. Hattie Schwob was the first librarian, Miss Hales receiving her appontment when Wesley Farrer was mayor. The Beaver Library now is operated as party of the county library system, the present board being made up of H. L.

The matter was taken up at Monday's meeting of the city council and The Press expects to have a story on this fine move for next week's paper. In the meantime, why not steal a march on the program by getting in a few good licks on an individual basis! Vol. 55, No. 11 Don't Play Safe DRIVE Safe! T.

The final game Saturday, between the Zion Park stake team and Minersville, repre senting Beaver stake, was a heart breaker. Minersville lost by one The M-M- point, the final score being 50-5A lucky pitch by a Zion Park player in the final seconds of play put that team the single point ahead. 1. The Minersville boys played two consecutive games Thursday evening at Enterprise with only six men, but won over Enterprise, this making them eligible for the division championship. Coached by Ty Gillins, those six men, who played outstanding ball in all three games, were: Dale Eyre, Lee Gillins, Wayne Gillins, Kent Limb, Hayward Marshall, and Clark Carter, with Tex Carter as athletic director. Wayne Gillins received a trophy for outstanding player and Dale Eyre was given honorable mention. A yellow basketball, not too much appreciated, was given the team, who would much rather have had a trophy for winning second place. Of interest concerning this team the fact that all of the boys, the athletic manager, and the coach, are descendants of the late George Marshall. Coach Gillins and Hay- ward Marshall are grandsons, while the other boys are is The hospitality of the Enterprise people in their roles as hosts for the tournament was unsurpassed. Sandwiches and punch were available to the boys at all times.

"There is an need for more understanding of the social problems being created by society in general," he added. The Special Problems class which is ordinarily taken by seniors is not a required class in itself but must be taken unless students have a class in World History. Mr. Nielsen has the class organized on a research, report, and evaluation basis, with small groups assigned such research topics as: Divorce, Delinquency, Values, Personal Security, Family Life, etc. There is also provision for current local, state, or national problems to be studied.
