Berlin News CHILDREN WILL GET HOT C0COA Worthington Qebool Teachers and Motherhood Club Make Plans New Organization at Berlin Church Very Actve—Y. M. T. A. & B. So- ciety Election—New Church Mem- bers—Berlin Briefs. A commttee from the Berlin Moth- erhood club, consisting of Mrs. Ralph Carter, Mra. Leland Gwatkin and Mrs. A. L. Woodruff is working with the teachers of the Worthington school planning to give the children of that school hot cocoa with their noon hour lunches which they bring from home. The cocoa will be served at a nominal cost. The Motherhood club has a small sum with which to purchase the equipment needed. The greatest prob- lem facing the club, however, is to procure an oil stove on which the cocoa may be prepared. It is the hope of the club that they may be able tc acquire such a stove, either by gift or loan. 1t is possible that if the plan proves a success gas will be in- etalled at the schoolhouse. At the present time there are about F0 pupils attending the Worthington school who carry their lunches with them because they llve too great a distance from the schoolhouse to go home. Few of them have anything warm to eat or drink for their meals and the Motherhood club feels as though a cup of hot cocoa wouid serve well. Later on it is planned to give them a dish of hot soup occa- slonally to break the monotony of the cocoa. The more elaborate dishes would have to be prepared at the homes of the women. By present plans the older children of the school will prepare the hot cocoa under the supervision of the teachers. Many have volunteered to give their services during the noon hour as they have a great deal of spare time. The hot cocoa will be werved at the school as soon as a suitable ofl stove is secured on which it may bhe prepared. The teachers of the Berlin Junior High school also had plans under way to have hot cocoa gerved the pupils of that school who carried lunches. The plans did not mature, however, and it Is the hope of several that the serving of cocoa at the Worthing- ton school will start a camplign throughout all of the Berlin public schools, Schedule for Year.
