W. Bal deree, Grants Pass attorney, was guest speaker at the Na tional Honor Society's instal lation of new members on March 9.

Lewellyn explained the hot lunch program beginning with Stale aid to the program in Ihe form of cash and com modities, and ending with the shortage of funds that now face the district. He explained that since reorganization last year, the new board of direc tors failed to budget enough money for the deficit in the lunch program. This, he explained, is why one assistant cook was laid off and the rest of the cooks re ceived a wage cut. In order to try to keep out of the red for the rest of the year, meal prices to adults have been raised. Funds for the lunch pro gram on the budget will be on a separate ballot this year. Porter explained how send ing the Tiller seventh and eighth grades to Days creek and bringing the Days creek fourth and fifth grades to Til ler would lower the cost of instruction hour per pupil. This change would make il possible for teachers lo have only one grade. They have two presently. Porter explained how Ihe change would necessitate fin ishing an uncompleted room at Tiller, hiring an extra teacher for the district, and paying additional mileage to the school bus contractor. He said this move would not affect the bus schedules at Tiller but would affect them at Days Creek by one- half hour. Mrs. Millard Liligren, treas urer of the PTA, reported that roller skating on the first and third Saturdays of the month had cleared $B0 so far this year for the PTA.
