Growth of the Hot Lunch Program in Schools
The article notes a steady rise in school lunch participation led by Mrs. Dorothy Hanny of the New Mexico Extension Service. Since 1939, surplus farm foods have expanded meals for hungry children, with the USDA projecting over 5 million served and many more eligible. Menus emphasize a balanced meal built around a substantial main dish, with milk, fruit or vegetables, bread, and a simple dessert, though variations depend on local facilities. It also mentions probate notices in Chaves County and outlines flexible options if full meals aren’t possible, including hot dishes, milk and fruit, or nutritious sandwiches.
