School Hot Lunch
Program Starts
Hot lunches are being served at
school, starting as of today and
continuing through the coldest
months of the school year.
This is the first time that the
lunch program here will be han
dled as part of the school pro
gram, as is done in other com
munities in the states and thru
out the territory.
The lunch program started here
several years ago on a local
level by a group of mothers,
health specialists and welfare
workers, who through their con
tacts with the chidren, realized
that in many homes lunches w~re
substandard and in many cases
cold lunches. They also realized
that many of the younger chil
dren lived at the extremities of
the community. Through the ef
forts of these women, who organ
ized into the Hot Lunch Program
Committee, funds were raised lo
cally and labor given free until
the need was recognized and the
program officially established.
Mrs. Inez Jackson, high school
teacher, will supervise the food
handling and menus and the
lunches will be catered by the
North Star Grill. Menus will be
published weekly. Forest Draper
has volunteered to keep the rec
ords and all the other teachers
will assist with the program.
Cost of the lunch has been set
at 30 cents for children and 50
cents for adults.
Today’s lunch consisted of
reindeer stew, peas, canned
peaches, bread, butter and milk.
Tuesday’s menu will be: Pork
luncheon sandwich, vegetable
soup, fruit cocktail, and milk.
Wednesday: Baked beans, fruit
jello, greens, bread, butter, and
milk.
Thursday: Spanish rice, beets,
pears, bread, butter, and milk.
Friday: Toasted cheese sand
wich, green beans, cherry cobbler,
and milk.
BACK TO SCHOOL
College students returning to
their schools in the states last
week were Geri and Chuck Fag
erstrom, Stanley Senungetuk, and

more, a former editor o* O,o'’fi
dential magazine and anti-Com
munist writer, shot and killed his
estranged wife Friday night and
then killed himself, climaxing an
argument in a taxicab.
Cab driver Edward Pearlman
picked up the pair near the Rush
more residence. They were argu
ing then, Pearlman said. He said
the woman jumped into the taxi
and tried to keep the man from
entering.
But the man shoved hjs way
into the cab, telling the driver:
“I’m her husband; don’t worry
about it.”
Pearlman said the woman then
shouted: “If he’s going to ride in
this taxi, I don’t want to. Drive
me to the station house.”
The driver said the couple con
tinued to argue as he headed for
a station house located on East
104th St. At one point, he said,
the man said, “Wait, I’ll give you
money,” and the woman replied,
“I don’t want your money.”
There was silence, Pearlman
said, then the woman screamed,
“Oh, my God!” and shots rang out.
“There was boom-boom and
flashes,” Pearlman said. “I turned
around. She was on the seat and
he had a gun to his temple. He
shot himself. I drove to the sta
tion and ran in.”
Rushmore, 45, was once film
critic for the Communist Daily
Worker. He broke with the party
and the paper in the 1930s.
He had worked for the New
York Journal-American for 15
years as a top anti-Red until he
was let go in, 1954.
One of Mrs. Rushmore’s chil
dren by a former marriage, Mrs.
Jean Dobbins, 20, told police the
couple had been quarreling bit
terly for the last 18 months. A
psychiatrist had warned her
mother against staying with Rush
more.
“My mother and stepfather both
were under psychiatric care,” said
Mrs. Dobbins. “Mother said that
on several occasions he had
threatened to kill her. He said if
he couldn’t have her nobody else
would.”
In early Japanese times a cart
man was taxed for any convey
ance in which he rode which re
sulted in a custom of leading cart
horses rather than driving them.
