shown on the chart are eligible
for either free meals or reduced-
price meals at 40 cents for lunch
and 30 cents for breakfast.

reduced-price meals are
available at all school buildings.
All questions need to be an-
swered. An application that

plication may be checked by the

Sometime following the departure
Hurricane Alicia, Boy Scout Troop 95 had
most of its camping equipment stolen from
the Scout Hut at Stancil Park.
•If someone needed the things to get
them through the storm, we just ask that
they return them now. The scouts worked
hard for that equipment and it is a serious
loss to them,’ ’ said Barbara Cameron.
Cameron appealed to the person or
persons who took the equipment to return it
to the Scout Shack or to call 592-4790.
