Total income for the hot lunch
program this year was $2,083.29

In addition to the money re
ceived the Hot Lunch Committee

oil, to Nome Sanitary Service for
garbage disposal, to the people
who donated money, bread, and
labor, to high school students for
their labor, and to the teachers
for extra duty at noon.
The committee pointed out that
a more adequate lunch could be
provided next year if all parents
would pay as much as possible to
ward the lunch tickets and if
the surplus commodities are re
ceived as expected.
The present committee will con
tinue to assume the responsibility
for the program until the School
| or the Parent-Teachers Assn, can
do so.
Persons who are interested in
working on the program arc in
vited to join the committee.
The committee would also wel
