Mothers Aid
Lunch Project
Dallas A meeting for moth
ers of elementary school chil
dren is being called for Mon
day evening at 8:00 p.m. by of
ficers. of the Dallas PTA who
are issuing an appeal for can
ners to help with the school
lunch project for the cominy
year.
The project last year was con
ducted with meals served for
10 cents each for 200 pupils
daily who ate hot lunches at the
school, according to Mrs. Lloyd
Hodgson, PTA president, who
states that unless canning is
done this summer, the program
may have to be discontinued.
Too little canning will result
in a raise of the price of the
meals.
One day contributed by each
mother at some time during the
summer would be sufficient,
Mrs. Hodgson reports, but asks
that others interested sign to
help to make up for mothers un
able to assist. Sugar Is avail
able for the canning, she says,
with apricots first on the list of
fruits to be canned.
Mothers and women's organi
zations heads are requested
especially to attend Monday's
meeting.
