On Friday the 7th, the Pinehurst School formally opened their lunch room and began serving hot lunches to the children at school at a very nominal cost. Mrs. Bruce Cameron is chairman of this work which insures the success of the undertaking from a nutrition as well as a financial standpoint. Soups, candies, fruits, sandwiches, cakes and other substantial food will be served each day.

Pinehurst Berkshire Farms and Mr. Wall and Miss Bradford were successful Tuesday with the meat demonstration, and the program was indeed an instructive one form beginning to end to the farmers and club boys and girls who attended. The government expert, as well as State specialist present were “on their job,” and from the slaughtering of the hogs to the smoking of the meat and stuffing of the sausage, and only the most effective methods, as well as the simplest, were used. The lunch served at noon was delicious and the sausage used was a sample of Pinehurst pure-food product, the all pork sausage that is in such demand all over Moore county.
