LUNCH PROGRAM
IS EXPLAINED RY
PRINCIPAL BONEY
Information on the lunch pro-
I gram at Summerville Elemen
| tary School is supplied by Vir
' ginia B. Boney, principal.
“The lunchroom of a school
' must be self-supporting. That
means it must pay its own way
by paying the workers, food bill,
new equipment and replacement
and repairs on old equipment.
I Children's lunches at present
। are 25 cents per meal including
*2 pint of milk which costs us
j 7 cents per y 2 pint.
i “Under the school lunch pro
! gram we are reimbursed 3 cents
। for each child’s lunch with milk
that we serve. There is no reim
i bursement for teachers’ lunches
I and teachers pay 30 cents for
their lunch.
“Children may buy milk at
: their recess periods for 5 cents
per >/ 2 pint. This is milk that
. costs 7 cents per ’/ 2 pint. We are
reimbursed 3 cents per > 2 pint
on this milk which gives us 1
cent per pint for handling.
Thus the only reimbursement
. that we receive is 3 cents for
each child's lunch served and 3
cents for each ’ 2 pint of milk
jsold at recess.
“The government at intervals
supplies us with our pro rata
share of surplus commodities.
Primarily these commodities
are: butter, cheese, rice, meal,
flour, dry milk and dried eggs.
Last year we received only one
shipment of meat which was a
I small portion of ground beef.
These foods enable us to serve
a balanced meal for 25 cents.
“It is recommended that we
allot 10 per cent and certainly
I not more than 15 per cent of our
paid lunches in free lunches. In
other words, it is felt that we
can absorb (we are not paid by
anyone for these free lunches)
10 per cent-15 per cent of the
number eating paid lunches.
“For example if we feed 500
paid lunches a day we should be
able to absorb the cost of 50-75
free lunches without losing
money. We have a committee of
teachers who investigate the
need of those who apply for free
lunch, and they are alloted on 1
the basis of need to the best of
our ability to select them. We
i feel it is the responsibility of the
parents to see that some provi
sion is made for tneir child's
lunch.
“The churches of Summerville
are generous. They provide
(.stipulated amounts for deserv
ing children and these arc fed

Much - Debated Budget
I s Approved For School
All Personnel Will Be Paid Next Tuesday
Dr. Purcell Reveals News by Telephone;
The State Department of Education on Tuesday ap
proved the much-discussed budget for the Chattooga Coun
ty Board of Education for the school year of 1958-59.
The word came from Dr.
■ Claude Purcell. State Superin
i tendent of Schools, in a long
distance telephone conversation
with Chattooga County Super
: intendent Lowell Hix.
This assures that the county
will get all alloted State funds
for school purposes. The amount
of the budget is in excess of
$600,000.
The decision was a relief for
। Supt. Hix because the payroll
[ must be ready next Tuesday.
■ Everybody will be paid on that
date, which is the 30th of Sep
tember.
This year the County Board.
: in submitting the year’s budget,
showed a rather large deficit,
and the State in accordance
with established policy in these
matters, told the local Board
that they would have to make
some economy moves.
The Board took the rejected
budget and deleted certain items
■ and sent it back the second
time. It still wasn't approved.
Then the Board went to At
lanta at the invitation of Dr
Purcell to discuss ways and
means as to how the necessary
economies could be achieved.
So for a third time the budget
went back to the State with re
visions, and another period of
waiting ensued.
In the meantime a committee
was sent from the State Depart
ment of Education to inspect the
laboratory facilities at Lyerly
and Menlo. They were shown a
। list of equipment and layout.
' and approval is pending arrival
of equipment.
The citizens of each commu
nity donated money toward pur
; chase of the equipment and the
; Board of Education is making up
the remainder.
The big thing that caused the
budget to be out of line was
acquisition of new buildings, 44
classrooms and six lunchrooms.
Other factors were:
I—Eight county-paid teachers
in excess of the regular allot
ment from the State.
2—-New equipment such as
desks. lunchroom and classroom
facilities.
3—Expenditure on grounds of
new school sites to the amount

CHATTOOGA SCOUTS
WILL JOIN NATION
IN DAY OF PRAYER
The six Chattooga County
troops, Boy Scouts of America,
will observe October 1 as a Day
'of Prayer for the nation and
mankind, in accordance with
President Eisenhower's procla
mation, and in conjunction with
the 3.804 members of the North-
West Georgia Council Roy Bruce,
Trion, announces.
C. Harold Westin, Scout Ex
ecutive of the North-West Geor
gia Council, has transmitted to
each of the units a request from
Dr. Arthur A. Schuck, Chief
Scout Executive of the Boy
Scouts of America for participa
tion in the Day of Prayer.
In a message to Executive
Westin, he said, “Each of us. I
know, covets every opportunity
to make the twelfth point of the
Scout Law effective. Also, each
of us in Scouting recognizes
the power and importance of
prayer.”
The twelfth point of the Scout
Law reads: “A scout is reverent.
He is reverent toward God. He is
faithful to his religious duties
and respects the convictions of
others in matters of custom and
religion.”
Dr. Schuk informed President
Eisenhower that the organiza
tion has taken steps for the
"fullest co-operation to this
noble purpose" and that the
members totaling 4.751.000 boys
and men have been requested to
"fully support the proclama
tion.”
I President Eisenhower, a mem
ber ot the Boy Scouts' National
Executive Board since 1948,
wrote Dr. Schuck:
: "I am heartened by your note
telling me of the support to be
given to the National Day of
Prayer to be observed on Octo
ber 1. Not only am I delighted
that the Boy Scouts themselves
will participate, but I know that
they will carry back to their
homes an interest in this sig
nificant. and 1 hope from now
on yearly, event.”
Dr. Schuck wrote the local
Council that he "was very much
moved by the thought of an en
tire nation on a given day. and
in accordance with forms and
tenets of our respective religions,
praying to God for the moral
and spiritual strengthening of
our nation, for peace among all
people, and for freedom for
mankind." He urged that where
possible, "Leaders and scouts
join with others in any meeting
or attend services that may be
arranged of people of the same
faith to participate with them in
prayer, in accordance with the
tenets of their religion and in
co-operation with their respec
tive religious leaders; or that at
