Hot Lunch Program
Ended Last Wednesday
After 8 Weeks Operation
The hot lunch program was
concluded last Wednesday, having
been in operation during the cold
est part of the winter, a period
of eight weeks.
The committee, headed by Mary
Ellen Walsh, states that the suc
cess of the program is due to
the cooperation of the entire com
munity. Special appreciation is
extended to the three oil services:
Arctic Oil, City Fuel and Diesel
Oil Sales; Clyde Kammerer and
Eli Mulch for garbage disposal;
Pioneer Water and Bronson Water
for water; and to three students
who assisted throughout the pro
gram, Edith Watt, Reba Tungwe
nuk and Madeline Piscoya. Also
helping was Buzzy Swanberg.
A special thanks, stated the
committee, goes to the LWY Com
munity Center for the use of the
building, as well as to the many
women who furnished home-made
cookies and doughnuts and even
home-baked beans.
The operation of the project
ran most efficiently, stated the
committee, due to the supervision
of Mary Andersen who did the
cooking throughout the eight
weeks.
A balance in the fund will
make it possible for the project
to start off next year and the
exact amount will be announced
after all bills are paid.
