Failed to Make Hebron 'The McHenry bowlers failed to reach Hebron last Thursday night, where they were scheduled to meet the bowling five of that village. The auto bus, carrying the McHenry team and a few of the followers, left here early that evening and everything went all right until the big machine reached a point near the Chas. Carr farm west of Ringwood. The snow drifts were too Seep at this point and in spite of all the coaxing that was done the machine became set |md it was necessary to send out the S. O. S. signal. Overton's big moving van responded to the call- and after considerable work the big bus was finally brought back to a hard road bed. The outfit arrived in McHenry about two -o'clock the following morning. Another attempt to make Hebron will be made some time in the near future. Variety Club Bowls "The alleys were given over to the members of the Variety club last Thursday night. The scores are not for publication.

There are so' many plans thatv are being successfully used thrnout the country that it is hard to say just which one to use. We may suggest and the plan beat suited may be chosen by the district that has the co-operation of teacher, directors and par-, ents. | The first problem is the obtaining of equipment and supplies. The equipment may be furnished by the school board, donated by parents or earned by box socials or entertainments. It is not advisable to start with any less equipment than the following: Two burner kerosene stove (with long chimney), 6-qt. double boiler, 2-qt. sauce pan, 1-qt. measuring cup, measuring cup, 1 fork, 1 teaspoon, 1 tablespoon, 1 soup ladle, 1 dish pan, 1 can opener and 1 dish drain. In the cupboard, which can be made from a box, by the boys, there should be staple supplier such as flour, cocoa, rice, dried beans, sugar, raisins, vanilla, salt, pepper, soap, paper napkins, holders, dish cloths, tin containers or fruit jars for supplies to protect them from mice. Fresh supplies, such as milk, butter and canned vegetables, the latter of which cannot be kepIT over the week end in the school house because of freezing, must be supplied t>y the different families in turn. Or, arrangements may be made for one family to furnish the milk every day and the teacher buying the canned goods as needed from a fund madet of assessments from each child. Menus should be made out at least a week in advance so that the mothers may know what to put in the lunch box to go with the one hot dish. For this reason it is well to appoint one mother as chairman so the burden of the planning will not fall on the teacher. Who does the cooking?, The older children take turn about in preparing the hot dish with the help of one younger. Boys make just as good cooks as girls and should be given a chance to show* their ability. Suppose the dish to be prepared is cocoa. At recess the cook will measure the milk and put it in the double boiler. The helper will measure the dry ingredients. At eleven thirty the cook will quietly light the burner un der the double cooker and go back to his studies for he knows die milk cannot burn over water. At five minutes to twelve he will add a little cold water to the dry ingredients and stir it until it boils. Then he will add this to the hot milk and serve the cocoa to the children cafeteria style Since the cook and his helper have lost their recess, two others should be appointed to be housekeepers to wash the dishes and set the room in order. The drying of dishes and the care of the towels can be eliminated by washing the dishes very carefully in soapy hot water, rinsing them in hot water and allowing them to drain. It is well to bear in mind that the foods of which most children fail to get enough at home are vegetables, other than potatoes, and milk. Since these are the most valuable foods an effort should be made to supply them in the hot lunch. It is not necessary to have a variety in the menu. Select a few good foods, teach the children how to prepare them in the right way and soon the hot lunch will cease to be a burden,- but something the children will hate to miss.
