In grade school, our hot lunch program was WONDERFUL! The cooks were two older ladies from the community who were excellent cooks, and who had long experience in cooking for very large groups. Everyone loved those lunches, and all the homemade baked goods, including bread. I always thought that the school lunches were every bit as good as I got at home, and my Mom was a very fine cook.
I don"t know if there was a program for some kids to get free lunches, but I do know that no child ever went hungry. If my memory is correct, the lunches cost 25 cents for the lower grades and 35 cents for grades 6,7, and 8. Milk was in half pint bottles at first, and later in small cartons. For most things, you could eat as much as you wanted.
But then I went to High School, and discovered that the hot lunches there were terrible as compared to what I had been used to in grade school. They also were more expensive, and the portion sizes were quite small. In High School, I seldom took hot lunch, and my Mom packed me delicious lunches, with lots of variety.
I always wondered if the High School cooks just didn"t care, or if there was some other reason that the meals they produced were so poor. We thought that they had the same supplies available as the grade school cooks had, but I would give the High School meals about a 2.5 on a 10 scale, while the grade school meals were almost always a 9 or even 10. Good cooks make all the difference in the world!

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
