This can all be covered under the county sanitarian’s job. ‘*Besides,\’ he continued, ‘I can not see why we in the city must pay double for things. We pay county taxes. We pay city taxes.

Since the increase is based on the price of beef it could push the up considerably. on the 1972 beef price the fee increase would be about 50 per cent for most of the state | land. | The bill went through the legislature without opposition and was sponsored by Senators Mathers, Graham, Moore and McDonald. It was reported by one | legislative observer that the | stockgrowers were behind the bill and pushed it because they feared the increase could be | prohibitive if sponsored by | people who didn’t have the beef | industry’s interest at heart. How are the fees set for rental of state lands? A field man appraises the land according to the animal unit, explains John- Osborne, per month,” said Osborne. He said the price of beef could | jump the above figure however. Ranchers. will be billed January, 1974 under this fee increase with their payments due February 1. The state owns a total grazing acreage of 4,139,000 acres. Years ago sections 16 and 36 in each township were set aside for state ownership and leasing to support schools. Of the above acreage 90 per | cent of the money goes into the | common school fund with 10 per |cent going to the universities - other land grant uses. | This money used to come to |the county superintendents office for distribution as in- terest and income money to the | school districts. Under a new law it now goes ‘to the school foundation program and then to the school | district. E.L. Hunsaker Graduates from Air Force School Airman Elzarus L.

Thoe was appointed to the council from Ward 3 this week to fill the unexpired term of Terry Plummer. Thoe will The average housewife prepares about 4,000 meals a year (for a family of four) at a cost.of anything from $130.00 to $230.00 a month. She has problems with menu planning to reflect her family’s tastes while giving them wholesome meals. Consider the problems of the person who served over 45,000 meals last year, at a cost of about $17,000 for nine mon- ths. Faced with this problem each year since Oct. 12, 1953 is Miss Margaret Kenney, school lunch cook and her assistant, Mrs. A. F. Schwisow. Not only do they prepare school lunches for anywhere from 260 to 330 school children five days a ___| week, they must plan healthful meals which meet the USS. Government requirements for nutrition, they must try to please an ever changing array of appetites, and be ready for an extra large crowd if it starts to snow. The largest meal Miss Kenney remembers serving in her 20 years with the Townsend school lunch program was to 359 hungry students on a day a storm broke after the school had started and parents began calling and telling their VELYN SHEARER EVELYN RICHARDSON youngsters to ‘Stay and eat at school’. It became necessary to appoint students.to man the phones so the cooks could prepare the meal. The most served to date this year is 330, with an average daily group of between 275 and 300. The children eat in four shifts, beginning at 11:20 a.m. and ending with the high school students at 12 noon. The cost of the meal, for a student, is forty cents, for adults, fifty cents. For this they receive a meal of , spaghetti and beef, green salad, cherry crisp, bread and butter, milk or coffee. Favorite menus are fish sticks or hamburgers. Hamburgers for 300 means sixty pounds of hamburger, fruit is purchased in cases of gallon cans, with 2% cases needed for a meal, along with 12 to 15 loaves of bread and 275 to 300 individual cartons of milk. If at all possible, the shopping is done locally, with three months allotted to each local grocery store. Only items needed in institutional sizes are ordered from suppliers. Miss Kenney tries to shop weekly, and does . her menu planning with this in mind.

Extra helpers, Mrs. Frank Shearer, Mrs. Ira Richardson, Mrs. Ron Johnson, and Mrs. Dixie Merritt arrive at eleven to help serve. They rémain to help clean up with Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Merritt leaving at one and Mrs. Richardson and Mrs. Shearer at two. Mrs. Schwisow is finished about 2:30 and Miss Kenney leaves between 3:30 and 4:00 p.m. With the exception of a dish- washer, a garbage disposal, installed last year, and a mixer, everything used in the kitchen is the same as would be found in an average home, except possibly a little larger. Miss Kenney has been in- volved with food preparation ‘for 29 years, nine in Helena before assuming her present duties 20 years ago. Mrs. Sch- wisow has been with the local program for seven years and Mrs. Shearer for four years; the other helpers started this year, replacing the high school students who formerly worked as part of a government program.
