The Frontier Woman . . . Rotate on Hot Lunch Plan By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE September already and lots of the school youngsters are back in school this week. For rural schools and for youngsuis who go to town school but live in the country, this means school lunch es. Most town school systems have a hot lunch program but many of our rural schools still do not have any hot dish for school youngsters. There are ways though that this can be solved. If the mothers of school children want to bother, they can see that their small fry have some form of hot dish or hot soup for lunch. This can be done by each mother taking turns in seeing that the kids get a hot dish one day a week, or as often as her turn occurs. She can send a kettle of veget able soup, vegetable beef, tomato, or any other kind of soup to school to be heated at noon and served with crackers or croutons. * Or if not too far from school, a hot dish with plenty to serve all school youngsters can be taken ai noon. ilici c <u e UUlCi UlCUiUUO. x X coldpack canner kettle with rack can be purchased for the school, and teacher can see that it goes *•. on the stove in time for heating up foods sent in pint jars by mothers. The jars can be set in cold water and heated up—and soups or other foods sent to be warmed in the jars. Thus each student brings their own food . and the teacher or an 8th grade student sees that it is suitably warmed up. Another way is to purchase a supply of canned soups and have your small fry open the can, add a can of wrater and warm up. Our soup for his or her lunch. Our son used to do this part of the time, and shared the soup with another youngster, with whose ' mother we had an agreement. ‘ tThey furnished the soup part of . the time. * Bab had one of those satchel type dinner buckets complete with a thermos bottle. I always sent hot chocoa, or some form of hot soup in the thermos, if he did not get a hot dish any other way. I sometimes used canned soup, often I made some form of hot soup and we had the same kind at home, as he had at school for lunch. I also sent chicken broken up in noodle soup in the therm os bottle, forms of meat and ^vegetable soups that could be put in the thermos, bean soups etc. Send an oil cloth place mat for the childs desk and have the teacher see that the child wipes it clean each day, or have the child roll it up and bring home so you can clean it daily. The alternative is to send a large nap kin to be used as a table cloth. Be sure you send attractive nap kins for regular daily use, too. Straws often mean the milk drink will be completely taken because of the straw, so send them now and then. Crisp carrot straws, cucumber slices (if the youngster is big enoubh to eat raw cucumbers) celery stalks and pepper rings are nice wrapped in foil for something chewy. Fresh fruits the year around should travel to school for lunch. Be sure they are washed if the skin is to be eaten. The same thing goes for dried fruits if you send them to be eaten uncooked, wash them first. Screw topped jars can be used for cooked fruits, salads and such. Be sure if you send a salad that it will not spoil, don’t send such things as potatoe salads or cream puddings when it is awfully hot. A good test of whether or not you are sending good school lunches day-after-day is whe ther or not you would be will ing to eat them day-after-day yourself. And remember, the wisest thing for you to do is have the big meal at night. Then you know they ! are getting a good breakfast and a good meal at night, if they must eat an all cold or a partially cold lunch. There are clever plastic dishes for wedges of pie now, and cup cakes can be baked in paper bak ing cups. Visit your department store and the “five and ten” for new accessories for the school lunch box and make the lunches more interesting. When really cold weather sets in, the children can take scrub bed potatoes to school, and alum inum foil, and can roast them in hot ashes. Cheese sandwiches can be broiled or toasted in a wire corn popper and wieners can be warmed in hot water at school for hot wiener sandwiches. Most teachers are willing to cooperate that far. Get acquainted with your teacher and show her your will ingness to cooperate. She’ll be glad to help on the question of hot lunches if she knows you will really do your share, in most instances.
