Slim Thomas, who ran that ad more or less as a joke, called and said, "I got 23 answers and almost orery one claimed they could :meet all those qualifications! That means I want to keep the man I have Handy Peters. He was thinking of quitting jbut now Ive got to talk him Into staying. Handy never pretends to be an expert, hes just a good hired hand.

The school lunch program was rather strongly endorsed by both professional educators and lay citizens of the state, says the official interim report of the Utah Public School Survey Commission. , IVINS HATCHERY The report cites an independent public opinion poll by Clark Associates showing that 82.9 per cent of those questioned endorsed the school lunch program to which pupils, the state and the federal government each contribute. The three-waprogram operates in all of Utah's 40 districts, except Salt Lake City and San Juan (actually, Edison School in Lake participates), and lunches have grown in number from million in 1943-4the year the program was put on a state basis to 10 million in 1952. Sixty-nin- e per cent of Utahs school children remain at school over the noon hour, and 51 per cent of those attending schools lunches participate in them. serving the federal-stat- e Based on 1951-5- 2 figures, :the school lunch program is financed this way: Pupil charges, 58 per cent; state funds, 18 per cent; federal assistance (funds and surplus farm commodities) 23 per cent; local contributions, 1 per cent. Lunches cost the pupils an average of 18 cents apiece. Outside of the program the pupil cost would about double. In the face of this impressive evidence supporting the program and despite a subcommittees recommendation that it be continued, the Survey Commission advocates junking the plan. Each local district, as it may desire, should continue to provide the necessary facilities and equipment, but the food and the cost of its preparation should be paid for on a cafeteria basis by the participants (without state aid). The approximately half a million-dolla- r saving to the stae would be used to augment the state minimum school fund, the Now Offering UTAH COUNTY P0ULTRYKEN Highest Quality y BABY CHICKS - LEGHORNS 4 HAMPSHIRES Order Now and Insure Delivery Date t I IVINS HATCHERY Phone American Fork, Utah CHIROPRACTOR w. 98 r. coup.mr North SPANISH East 1st FORK.

Thus a program costing more than two and one-ha- lf millon dollars yearly, employing 900 persons and serving 70,000 meals daily at 365 schools would be jeopardized under the guise of economy, And parents would have to pay more for their school childrens lunches, which in many cases would be inferior,' under an alternate plan. The philosophy of the commission majority is difficult to follow, especially in view of its strong recommendation for more consolidation of school districts, improving bus transportation and more cooperative effort. Some spokesmen have critized the three-wa- y lunch program as socialistic. and so the medicl and health service which the commission would expand.

The office has no funds outside the program for school lunch supervision. So, if the state withdraws, it is likely that some schools would have to close down the service., Under federal standards, hot lunches served now provide one third to one-ha- lf the daily nutritional requirements of youngsters. For some these are the only meals they receive during the day. Moreover, social and educational benefits are derived. Schools generally take advantage of the lunch program to make children aware of nutritional needs and to encourage good eating habits.
