You read in last week’s Sun that the school advisory Board from Pomaria had requested the County Board of Education to construct a new cafeteria for Pomaria elementary school. No action was taken on the request but someone made a remark to the effect, “I don’t know where we would get the money.” There are just a couple of things I want to say about this. Some members pf the Board admit that it would’nt be well to go into the old building to make a cafe teria because of the deteriorat ing condition of the building. It is also thought that if rooms were taken in the new building to make room for a cafeteria, there perhaps wouldn’t be enough -classrooms and others would have to be added. It seems to me that in the longrun, it would be less expensive to put up a separate building, for the cafeteria. At Bush River, where, I under stand, there would have been room for a cafeteria when the high school is closed, they are getting not only a separate cafe teria, but also a gymnasium which is being called an “all-pur pose room” instead of a gym, even though the high school is scheduled to close.
