The Pittsboro, Chatham County, N. C., School serves hot, nutritious mid-day meals to its students in the school lunch room. Ernest Lassiter raises his hand to show the high school girl acting as waitress that he wants another hot biscuit. The children pay 5 cents for this meal, consisting of cheese, black-eye peas, creamed potatoes, egg, tangerine, and milk, besides the biscuits.
