Already Mrs. Hanshaw is
working on the books to deter-
mine the amount of govern-
ment commodities that she will
need and be eligible for in next
years operation. These commodi-
ties make possible the opera-
tion of school cafeterias, since
they usually charge a very no-
minal price for meals.
The Mathis cafeteria serves
three grades of the same menu.
Adults are charged 50 cents per
plate, while larger children get
3 oz. of meat, and the smaller
children receive 2 ozs. Adults »e-
ceive a larger amount' of food
than children’s plates have on
them.

MRS. VERA Hanshaw manages
the Mathis school cafeteria. She

substitute is served two or three
times each week, since, as Mrs.
Hanshaw points out, it con-
tains goodly amounts of vitamin
c, and since the body does not
store that vitamin, it becomes
necessary to provide it at regu-
lar intervals. Sometimes, gelatin
is mixed with orange juice to
give it added food and vitamin
value.
Mrs. Hanshaw and her staff
attended a cafeteria workers
school last year in San Marcos,
and this year they plan to attend
a similar school, but in more
advanced classes at Pharr.
When this year is over, Mrs.
Hanshaw will be working from

Sinton Store
Burglarized Friday
Two men from Refugio, Qajr-
ance Anderson and Warren
Marcus, were charged in justice
court in Sinton Friday with bur-
glarizing Gordon’s Men’s Wear*

in clothing on Friday morning.
Anderson was also charged
with illegal possession of mari-
juana in a complaint filed by
fers to menus that have, or to
which according to established
rules of health growing chil-
dren must have to keep them
healthy and alert.
Mrs. Hanshaw says that she
was raised in a cafe, and
has been accustomed to serving
food to the public, but since she
has been associated with the
local cafeteria, she has be-
come more aware of the actual
needs of her patrons than she
ever was before. While working
in the cafe, she served what the
customers ordered, but now the
situation is reversed, and she
does both the ordering and the
serving.
When the children, numbering
about 430 daily, and the 35 adults
leave after a meal, the pantry
is minus 35 loaves of bread
and over 50 pounds of ground
meat has been consumed.
Milk is consumed by the gallon,
but is issued in one-half pint
containers. Many who do not eat
in the cafeteria, come by the
kitchen sometime during the
day, and pick up milk to be
served in the rooms. This ar-
rangement with regard to serv-
ing and paying is looked after
by room teachers.
In eating in the cafeteria,
many of the children learn for
the first time about salads, let-
tuce, tomatoes and dessert.
The staff starts serving lunch
at about 10:40 each morning,
and the last group reports for
lunch at 12:30. During that time,
about 430 children pass through
the lines. Teachers oversee
their respective grades, and
since there are several sections
of each grade, teachers take
weekly turns in supervising both
meal time and play ground ac-
tivities.
Many students bring their own
lunches, and a section of the
dining hall in the cafeteria is
assigned to them, that they
may eat together, have proper
supervision, and eat under fa-
vorable conditions.
The number of free lunches
served ranges between 104-121
each day. These lunches are for
those children whose families
qualify under a poverty ruling.
Besides Mrs. Hanshaw, Agnes
Polasek, Helen Klepac, Horten-
cia Moreno and Elaine McCown
assist in preparation and serv-
ing the vast amounts of food,
five days a week. Roque
Longoria washes trays as they
are used, and is assisted in this
work by a student from each
shift of classes who eat there.
Bread is baked twice each
week, and the children love the

Most of the equipment in use
in the cafeteria today was
bought and paid for by the Ma-
this PTA. Long before the We-
ber Building, which houses the
cafeteria, was built, the local
PTA engaged in many fund
raising projects, with cquip-
ing the cafeteria the object.
The Halloween carnival, now
sponsored by the Pirate Band,
was at one time a PTA pro-
ject. An annual Mexican supper
was another means of raising
money. Knowing of the great
need for a modern cafeteria,
people,in Mathis supported the
PTA projects well. Work in rais-
ing money for this purpose was
in progress
wearer the
the building
greater the
needed funds became. The fund
grew so rapidly toward the last,
until each report from the PTA
treasurer showed, sometimes
as much as a $1,000 added
since last report. Many inter-
ested individuals and businesses
in town gave to the cafeteria
fund.
At one program of the PTA,
several male members

that the play had been
by a member or
cast, and the play

minutes throughout
Mil ton Boatwright,
all the other members of the
cast was dressed in women’s
clothing, would rise and read
PTA Financial report.” Each
reading showed an increase of
several thousand dollars, over
the last report. The reason for
the women’s dresses was due
to the fact that the PTA mee-
tings for the most part were
during school hours, so since
all the men worked at that time,
mostly women, and men teach-
ers attended the meeting.
Later, meetings were held at
night, and as the saying went,
the whole town turned out.”
Those who remember, say
what a good time the town had
then, when we were all work-
ing toward a common goal, and
everybody loved every body
else.”
Maybe history will repeat, and
some day we will find the town
once again working toward a
common goal, and with a lot
or work to do, people will be
as they were, then too
working together to hate
other.
