Hot Lunch Program
The Hot Lunch Program will
begin January 5, 1960. First pay
ments will be collected Monday,
January 4. Last week we sent a
note to parents concerning the
Hot Luuch Program, and asking
all parents expecting to have chil
dren participating to so indicate
by returning the small slip at the
bottom of the note. It will be ap
preciated if parents would return
these slips at their earliest con
venience.
One point needs clarification
relative to the required Friday
payment. Payment on Friday is
required for participation the fol
lowing week, but it does not mean
that the participation must in
clude five days. Participation on
specific days each week is entirely
permissible. It will still, however,
require payment on the Friday
before the service week,, and this
can be easily arranged by sending
a note along with the payment (40
cents per day) so indicating the de
sired day,, and the child’s name
will be entered on the Daily Serv
ice List.
The ten basic menus to be
served six times each during the
| three months’ hot lunch period
are as follows:

Japan’s Leftists Are
Disappointed By High
Court Ruling on Troops
TOKYO — The Japanese
Supreme Court _ ruled today that
the “no-war” clause in Japan’s
constitution does not prevent the
stationing of American troops
here. The court also said Japan’s
own armed forces are constitu
tional.
The unanimous decision by the
15-man court was a blow to left
wing hopes of forcing the U. S.
troops out of Japan, disarming the
nation and neutralizing Japan in
the cold war.
At issue was Article 9 of Japan’s
constitution. Written under the
postwar American occupation,
this “no-war” section declares
that Japan forever renounces the
possession of all war potential.
But the high court, in reversing
a Tokyo district court ruling made
last March, declared: “There are
no stipulations in the constitution
that deny Japan as a sovereign
nation the right of inherent self
defense.
Japan’s growing army, navy and
air force — re-established after
the Communist attack in Korea —
are called self-defense forces.
They are regular political targets
of the leftists in Japan.

Christmas Mail
Will Be Carried
In Many Ways
By GOEFFREY GOULD
WASHINGTON, OB — The mail
will go through this Christmas as
always, but in a few cases it will
take horses, boats, toboggans, skis
and even a dogsled to do it.
That’s the way it still has to
be done in some of the remote
nooks and crannies of the 50 states.
The Post Office conceded that to
day, perhaps a little proudly, after
looking over the locomotion meth
ods of some of its 10,000 star route
carriers.
The Star Route carriers trans
port mail under private contract
with the Post Office. Most of them
use trucks, but sometimes they
have to use ingenuity to get
themselves from one place to
another.
Carrier Eulice H. Thomas has a
route between Crusfield, Md., and
Tangier Island, Va., in Chesa
peake Bay. He uses a small boat.
A horse is still the handiest way
to get from Sumerco to Sod, W.
Va. Daner F. Brogan, as he "has
for many a year, will employ
hayburner transportation over the
rough, roadless route.
If snows are deep this year be
tween Elko, Nev., and the Bob
Prunty ranch, carrier Claude E.
Gerber will drop the Christmas
mail from a sm^ll plane.
Oscar Evans regularly uses a
horse-drawn toboggan to speed
the mail between Boulder, Wyo..
and Midland Ranch.
In Alaska Chester Noonwook
presides over the last dogsled
route in. these United States. His
10 huskies carry the mail on St.
Lawrence Island. In summer
months he employs an oomiak.
Walter M. Harbour often uses
skis to get over a difficult part
of his 28-mile route between Ne
vada City, Calif., and Granite
ville.
No. 2 Thor Flops
VaNDENBERG AFB, Calif., (B
— A- Thor intermediate range
missile blew up over the Pacific
Monday a few minutes after
launching by a British crew.
It was the second of 10 Thors
fired by a Royal Air Force crew
to misfire. The first was destroyed
by a safety officer when it went
off course.
