S. 0. E.; Mr. Garland Rounds, Engineer, Federal Works Agency; M r s . Virginia Workman, Teacher in the Fairlington School; and Mr. Tam Deering, An expert on community recreation facilities and services. There will be time for questions, answers and discussion. This discussion should interest every citizen of the county. The meeting will be held January 27, 19U9, at 8:00 P. M., at the Peyton Randolph School, lUth St. So. and Quincy. (To reach it go down Glebe Road to lUth St. So., turn right £ blocks to the end of the road.) Another milestone in school improvement in Arlington was passed on January 10, 19U9, when the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals handed down a decision stating that Arlington’s elected School Board was the legal Board. This ends the contest brought by the old appointed school board a year ago. On January 1, 19h9, Arlington's elected School Board completed one year in office. The imposing list of 18 major accomplishments during its first year should give satisfaction to everyone who worked to elect this Board. These are the tangible improvements in Arlington's school program. During 19l;9j events of major importance to Arlington's school program will take place. This spring the budget for next school year will be set. During the year construction is expected to begin on urgently needed addi tional school buildings; two members of the School Board will be elected this November. There is strong sentiment for a special session of the State Legislature to provide state funds for school building construction. A number of bills now under consideration in Congress directly affect Arlington's school program. Citizens Committee members and their friends will be interested in these matters. They should be discussed in our meetings and our full effort put behind those programs approved by the membership. Lets start planning and working early. Come to the meetings; express your opinions; take an active part in deciding what the committee should do. Urge your friends and acquaintances to join the committee. Lets make 19U9 a most successful year for school improvement in Arlington. �Citizens Committee for School Improvement Central Station, Box 1662 Arlington, Va, . . . ^ P L & H 562 .. ^ / >■ Arlington, Virginia � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Because of the vital interest of the Citizens' Committee members and others in this matter,'the Executive Committee has authorized the release of this statement concerning this referendum. Because Federal employees are prevented by the Hatch Act from actively participating in partisan elections, various, groups and individuals havt2 for a number of years worked for non-partisan election of county board and school board members. Early in 19U8.a number of civic organizations in the county developed a bill v/hich provided for a referendum on the question of non-partisan election of county board and school board members at the general election in November. Each cf these organizations voted overwhelmingly to approve and support that measure and to urge Arlington's, delegation to the State Legislature to introduce it and work for its passage. The delegation refused to introduce that legislation, but instead introduced House Bill £3? which provided for non-partisan election of school board members only, at special elections to be held in May. After this b i l l became law, persons closely associated with the County Democratic Committee secured the necessary 200 signatures on petitions to bring this question before the voters at the coming election. The law provides that the following question will be voted on this November: "shall a non-partisan election for members of the County School Bocard be held on. the second Tuesday in May of the odd numbered years instead of at the general election in the odd numbered years" The law also states that the election shall b e 'non-partisan, that no ballot shall have printed on it any party or political designation or mark, shall not show how the candidate was nominated and shall not give his views or opinions. It ■''Iso declares that an emergency existed and that the act was in force from its • a sago. •s Most people who want good schools believe that there should be wide community participation in selection of school board members and that these elections, as well as other decisions on school*issues, should be entirely free from partisan political considerations. Many people believe that one of the best means of achieving these objectives is to have non-partisan elections for school board members on a different date than the general elections. A number of impartial experts recommend this procedure and there has been a trend in this direction during the past few years. The Citizens' Committee wholeheartedly supports these objectives and will work earnestly for their attainment. For that reason the Executive Committee has considered this matter carefully in an effort to determine what effect the proposed change in school board elections in Arlington will have on reaching these goals. The conclusicns reached are presented below. A political machine in control usually fears a large vote because it can definitely control only a portion of the voters. During the past ten years, :3cial elections in Arlington have attracted a much smaller number of voters than general elections. Since this act provides for a special election for school oo-rd members its effect will be to keep the vote smaller than in the November lection and therefore will aid the organized groups who oppose school improvement to gain control of the school board. (OVER) �- 2 m It is difficult to insure non-partisan elections by legislation. Although this act states that elections shall be non-partisan, under it any pol itical party can endorse and support a candidate even though they cannot hold partisan nominations. Whether or not elections held under this law are truly non-partisan will depend on the actions of the political parties concerned. In view of these circumstances, what could we expect in Arlington if election of school board members is held in May rather than in November? We can anticipate what may happen in the future only by what has happened in the past. In the special referendum in May, 19U7j some of the "Machine" leaders, the group that sponsored this legislation and now urges you to vote for it, worked diligently to defeat the school bond issue and the election of school board members. The candidate the "Democratic Machine" is running for the County board this Fall . stood at the plls in his home precinct in that special election and handed out literature opposing election of school board members and the school bond issue. No other offices or issues 'were at stake in that election and the politicians felt free to concentrate their efforts on defeating the school issues. In view of these and other similar facts that could be given if space permitted, is it reasonable to assume that those who have opposed school improve ment in the past will change their attidude in the future if this referendum passes? Their record strongly indicates that they will continue to use every means to fight the non-partisan effort for school improvement. They introduced and suppprted the measure now under consideration in opposition to the expressed wishes of a large number of Arlington voters. The reason for their action seems clear. Bv having school board members elected in May, their entire efforts can be concentrated on winning that election. And, for the reasons stated above, their chances of winning in May will be greater than in November. After careful consideration of all factors, the Executive Committee believes that this measure would not assist in achieving the objective for which the Citizens’ Committee stands, but would subject school board elections to other abuses. The members have voted in open meeting to oppose the measure. We again urge you to work actively for its defeat this November. -){■ ■$ -Jr -){■ >• '<!- r -x- v r IF TOU HAVE NOT HEBBiED YOUR H H - n a SBTP PLEASE SEND TOUR CHECK TODAY— 0' BRING IT TO THE NEXT MEETING. ?. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

FLASH: SCHOOL BOFDS SELL FOP T.'O AND ONE HALF PERCENT Arlington Schools are a good investment in the judgment of national investors.- "There’were*’eighVViTdVrVTor the > ,776,000 of bonds 1 authorized in Hay 1 * - • The best bid-, made by the Chase national Bank 947 of Hew Yoi-k City.was for . 1, * 7bU,507 for bonds paying two and one-half percent interest. The poorest bid offered a premium on 2 3 - - percent /J bonds. These buyers were all aware of the proposed A,7>0,000 school bond issue to be voted upon November" 2. Neighboring communities have had to pay almost 3 percent on recent sales of school bonds. This sale proves that the school board has been conservative in estimating the cost on the basis of 3 percent interest and that the "rabble rousers" who say that Arlington can't afford to borrow money to build needed schools just don't know what they are talking about. Note to canvassers: Be sure and tell this story in your calls during the next two weeks. ’ During the last phase of the campaign it will be necessary for canvassers to bo in close touch with their own and perhaps other precinct leaders.

The appearance of Mr. Potter with the three other candidates before the League of Momen Voters — our candidate stood out brilliantly against the other "Tweedle-dum and Tweedle-dee" candidates who spoke. The Debate between Senator Fenwick and LeBeau on the referendum to change the school board election date — maybe we're biased but we are sure the judges would have been in favor of LeBeau had a decision been handed down. Other appearances of our candidate almost too numerous to mention, Tfe* re beginning to draw fire from our opposition and that is a sign that we're being effective. Thousands of pieces of literature, posters, bumper strips and voters' cards reached you, the workers, and are now being left in the homes of the voters. Many new workers added to the list.

The Committee on Integration was set up because the Arlington School Board needs help from many different segments of our Arlington population con cerning the important matter of putting into effect the recent United States Supreme Court ruling prohibiting segregation of races in our public schools. Arlington is a Virginia community where separation of white and Kegro pupils has been practiced ever sinoe public education was first established in the State.

With this situa tion, the best thinking of our community needs to be enlisted so as to study and make recommendations as to the wisest way to bring about the changes which will be required during the nert few years because of the Supreme Court ruling. The Sohool Board took into account these principles in setting up the committee: 1. The Committee should he large enough to represent many different areas of thinking among our citizens. 2. Persons were not named officially es representatives of groups. (For this reason no presidents of organiza tions were asked to serve on the committee.) Bather, the individuals named are connected with representative local organizations and are familiar with the thinking and policies of such grouos. They will not he official representatives and therefore will not be required to poll their members in order to suggest or approve a course of action on any matter coning before the committee. 3 . Since many diverse aspects of school integration will probably be studied, the Board named enough people so the Committee can be sub-divided to study these different questions. It is expected that other oitizens will be asked by the oommittee to serve on sub-committees. Also, the School Board requests that at least one school staff member he Invited to serve on eaoh subcommittee. There is great public interest in the work of this body. Because the Committee activities must he so closely tied in with school hoard policies, the Sohool Board asks that all press releases he approved jointly by the chairman of the Integration Committee and the chairman of the School Board.

After roll call and approval of the minutes of the June 23 meeting of the committee. Dr. McCaskill reported that he had previously called together a small group of members of the committee, the school staff and the school board to plan the agenda for this meeting. At Dr. MoCaskill's request, the mem bers approved the agenda as follows: 1. Report by Mrs. Campbell of discussion at a meeting in Warrenton of school board members from northern Virginia. 2. Report by Mr. Rutter of state developments. 3. Report by Mrs, Burton on findings of the sub-committee on research , appointed by a c tio n o f the e n tir e In te g ra tio n Committee. �- 2 - Dr. fteCaald.il then sal& he wished the committee to consider whether it would be desirable to issue a "fact sheet" for community distribution in Arlington concerning integration. In Mrs. Campbell's report she explained that the 41 school board members from northern Virginia who attended the Varrenton conference are much concerned about the situation with regard to segregation or integration, because the indi vidual boards are the ones who must deal with the problem and who will be held responsible in each community for what is done. "There was general agreement at the Varrenton meeting," Mrs. Campbell said, "that there is need for local option in the natter of integration, since Virginia communities vary so much in their proportion of white and Negro publio school pupils and also in the general conditions existing in the communities." Mrs. Campbell said she is hopeful that Virginia edu cational authorities will ask for suggestions from school board members when the time comes to deal with natters of integration. She also said there is need for action as soon as possible after the Supreme Court announces how and when they wish Integration t® be put into effect. Mr. Rutter, in his report on the state-wide situation, told of a meeting of school superintendents from northern coun ties and cities of Virginia. "The school superintendents took the position," Mr. Rutter said, "that nothing should be done to impair the public school system of the state." Mr. Rutter then reported on the ruling by Virginia's Attorney General that the Virginia Constitution and State Code provisions providing for segregation of the races in the public schools is still in force. l e also reported on instructions i received by all superintendents in the state to conduct the schools this year on a segregated basis. Other developments reported by Mr. Rutter were these: Statement by Governor Stanley that he intends to retain segre gation in Virginia schools, poll of Virginia legislators showing desire to retain segregation, appointment by Governor Stanley of a commission from the General Assembly to frame a state policy on the issue of segregation, and the announcement of the first public bearing by this commission to be held November 15. �- 3 - It was also reported that Attorney General Almond of Virginia will present a brief at the hearing before the Supremo Court in Washington on December 6. fi . Rutter pointed out that Arlington sohools receive r funds from both the state and the federal government, and that looal communities will bo in a difficult situation if the state and federal authorities disagree on the matter of inte gration in the schools. The report by Mrs. Burton of the sub-comaittee on re search included the following: 1. A "fact sheet" on integration would be of value but should be limited absolutely to facts, with no matters of opinion or emotion included. 0. Kits might be prepared by the Integration Committee for use by speakers and organizations desiring infor mation. 3. If Arlington sohools wish to hold seminars similar to those held in the District of Columbia last year to help teachers prepare for integration, the American Friends Service Committee is willing to direct such seminars. Mrs. Burton’s report told of the situation in many communities where integration is being instituted or has been in effect. She mentioned the wide newspaper coverage in troubled areas and said: "It is to be hoped that some responsible news gathering agency will later give us a detailed, faotual report of the successes as well as the failures.n After completion of the scheduled items on the agenda, Alfred E„ Frisbie moved that the Integration Committee recommend to the school board that a factual reporting sheet be issued at intervals as needed, outlining the various stops in the move toward integration and that this reporting sheet make no attempt to interpret what has been done. Rev. William U. Foster seconded the motion which was passed unanimously. �There was some discussion concerning how often future meetings of the committee should be held. Reverend Foster ex pressed the opinion that the entire community needs to be given information concerning the integration problem, and made a motion that regular monthly meetings be held. Or. Johnson seconded the motion and it was passed. Mrs. Campbell told the members of the committee: "The members of our Arlington school board want to do the best they can in the matter of integration. It strengthens us to liave this committee advise us.B � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

We feel that suoh a sheet would have 00 &aiderable value but should be limited absolutely to facts simi lar to the statistical material given the Integration Committee last June by the School Department. We do not believe that matters of opinion or of emotion should be included, even though those questions are on the minds of many. We also suggest the making up of "kits" containing the faot sheet prepared by this oommittee, some pamphelet material, a bibliography, and a list of available program materials. Suoh kits would be inexpensive and oould either be sold to organization requesting them or the oost borne by the sohool department. Among the materials we have collected this summer and fall, we wpuld like to oall your particular atten to the program of semi nars for public sohool teachers put on in the District of Columbk for the past several years by the Amerioan Friends Service Com mittee. These seminars were organized for the purpose of helping teahhers prepare themselves for the coming integration program. Should suoh a program of seminars be desired in Arlington, the Amerioan Friends Servloe Committee will be more than pleased to oooperate in making it possible. For those of you particularly oonoerned with the queation of absorbing colored teachers in an integrated sohool program, we recommend reading a report Qased on replies from 55 system where interraolal teaching staffs are used. To summerize the report very briefly « interracial staffs work out all right. In view of the extreme interest and extensive newspaper coverage of the events taking plaoe in various sections of the country pf.it since the May 17 th decision of the Supreme Court outlawing racial segregation in the puolio sohools, the reseqroh sub-oommittee feels that it is only ecesaary to make a brief summary report of the events taking plaoe since the opening of school. * « have r a voluminous olipping file available for any oommittee member who wishes to go back and cheok the day-by-day newspaper reports on the various phases of this subjeot. The Southern Educational Reporting Service has reported in its Ootober Bulletin (we have requested copies but have not yet reoeived them) that of the 20 states affected by the ruling, four, Lousianna, Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi are "strongly resisting". Seven, Arizona, New liexloo, Kansas, Missouri, West Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware, are "moving toward* integration The remaining nine, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessm, Florida, Alabama, Virginia and North Carolina, are reported M waiting further Word from the oourt. �Of - h four "strongly resisting" states, Georgia, Mississippi, te and South Carolina are relying on the "private School" devloe to maintain ssgregaylon in the sohools. South Carolina has already abolished Its oonatitutional provision requiring public school education and the other two states are preparing for a referen dum on the same question. Louisiana is relying on a proposed constitutional amendment which would make segregation a matter of "health and morals" and under the polioe power of the state. In addition, the legislature has passed bills whloh would cut off financial support for integrated sohools and give to the district school superintendents the right to assign children to specified sohools. Of those nine awaiting further instructions from the oourt, North Carolina, Florida and Virginia have set up commissions to study the matter. Arkansas, while maintaining a se regated eystea in general throughout the state, has two examples of integration. Charleston and Fayettesville have both absorbed small numb re of iiegro students without lnoident. The most interesting group, and the one which has provided the most headlines, la that group which is moving toward integration in various ways. Those states not generally thought of ae south ern, Arizona, New Mexioo, Kansas, and Missouri, have, in an orde» ly fashion, and without incident, moved to eliminate segregation in those oom unities where it has existed. The West Virginia state Board of Education granted permission to the oounty sohool boards to handle the question each in its own manner. Those oounties which elected to move this year tadded the problem in a variety of ways. The plans ranged from oomplete integration at once at all levels, through "gradual" plans where by certain grades only were integrated at first (either lower elementary or freshman high sohool cr both) to a oounty which allowed a free ohoioa of sohools to the children. No while child of the 4200 enrolled picked a colored sohool and only one colored ohild of 170 enrolled eleoted to enter a white sohool. Of the state's 5 ^ oouties, 11 have no negro population, 12 are oompletely integrated, 13 are praotloally integrated, and 18 are awating further oourt. action. These faots rather overshadow the newspaper reports of incidents in several West Virginia Sommunities where threats of violence forced the sohool boards to reverse previously announced plans to proceed with integration. Not all the sohool boards yielded to threats, however, whan parents forced the closing o' the Fairmont sohool, the Marlon County sohool board obtained an induction prohibiting mass picket ing and reopened the school on an integrated basis. We are all aware now that Delaware contains a town by the name of Milford, and that there were serious dlstrubanoee there. But perhaps everyone is not aware that there are eight other Dsleware sohool districts operating integrated sohools this year without lnoident. Wilmington, the state's largest oity has started on its plan of gradual integration without difficulty. �- 3 The trout) lea at Milford brought to national attention the formaticn and aotive operation of the National Association for the Advance ment of White People and its President, Bryant Bowles, a fellow Arlingtonlan. The Association and Mr. Bowles, who has an unevviao la police record, are in serious legal difficulties in Delaware. Bowles has been arrested and oharged with conspiring to violate the state education law by leading a boycott of Milford's inte grated high school. He le at present out on $6000 bond pending further hearings Nov, 3rd. Suopoenas have been issued by the State Attorney General, oalling on tha NAAWP to hand over data on its flnanoeo and organization. Meanwhile, the Vice Chancellor has ruled that the Negro students have a clear legal right to attend the unsegregated school pending a final decree by the Delaware Court of Chancery. The final chap ters on Milf ord have not yet Ween written. Maryland, with the exoeption of Baltimore, has continued segrega tion this year although local oohool boards have been requested to make plane for the future. In neighboring Montgomery County, the school board has appointed an advisory oommittae on integra tion similar to Arlington's. In addition, the County Council of PTAs has started a study. Baltimore, which started Its integration program this fall, opened its schools calmly and ope fated without difficulties for a month. Within a few days of the Milford headlines, however, trouble developed. The school board and olty officials refused to con done violence or to change the established plan and the excitement soon G U b sided. Following on the heels of the Baltimore incidents, similar student strikes developed in some Washington schools. Wise firm aotion on the part of the superintendent of schools had the desired effoot and in less than a week, despite the attempted interference of Bowles, the students were baok in sohool. pince then, an invita tion has been reoeivad from New Rochelle, N.Y‘ for students to . visit and inspect an integrated sohool system. The invitation has been aooepted and six Washington students from three schools are now in New Rochelle. All of their expenses are being paid by the students and faculty of the New York sohool. The researoh suo-oommittee Iffelieves that it is too soon to draw any hard and fast conclusions “ rom the difficulties and successes pf those communities which have started on a changed pattern of sohool attendenoe. It seems, however, that the newspapers are giving to the general public a much distorted view in the head lines, pictures and spaoe given to the troubled axeae and the al most complete lack of any mention of those areas where the changes are prooeeding suooes3 fully. These communities vould perhaps not welcome vary muoh publicity at this stage but it is to be hoped that later in the sohool year, some repsonsible news gathering agenoy will give to all of us a detailed, factual report on the successes as well as the failures.

Dr. Joseph C. McCaskill presided. Present were Victor Blue, Mrs. R. A. Burton, Dr. Claire Christman, Mrs. A. J. E. Davis, Rev. William H. Foster, Alfred E. Frisbie, Col. J. Fuller Groom, Mrs. Esther Halstead, Edwin T. Holland, Dr. Harold Johnson, Miss Sally Loving, Mrs. Colin C. MacPherson, Jesse Pollard, George .Richardson, Mrs. Mary Shirley, Claude A. Sweeney, Mrs. William G. Watt, Miss Lena Wolfe. Dr. Curtis E. Tuthill and Miss Lillian Lambert arrived later. Mrs. Elizabeth Campbell, Dr. L. Clarke Keating and Dr. E. R. Draheim were present representing the school board. Assistant Superintendent Charles J. Walsh and Mrs. Art Brown, secretary of the committee, were also present. John A. Johnson, chairman of the Falls Church School Board, who served as program chairman at the recent meeting in Richmond of the Virginia School Boards Association, was introduced and reported on that session. Mr. Johnson said the majority of school board members at the annual session appeared to favor the followings 1. Preservation of Virginia's public school system. 2. Retention of most of the characteristics of the present segregated system, so far as this can be done within the law. 3. No curtailment of school construction. I. Maximum authority on a loca}. level in putting the non-segregation *. decree into effect. "The placement of negro teachers is recognized by the school board members as one of the chief problems in Virginia schools if a completely integated system is established here", Mr. Johnson said. He also declared, "Good faith and earnest effort are necessary on the part of both races to avoid extremist solutions in working out this problem." Mrs. Burton, chairman of the research sub-committee of the Integration Committee, reported on recent actions concerning the Supreme Court ruling* The executive committee of the Arlington County Council of Parent Teacher Asso ciations, she reported, recently wrote Governor Stanley asking that he preserve the public schools of V irginia, maintain the compulsory attendance laws, and permit local autonomy in carrying out the Supreme Court decree® Mrs. Canpbell then read a letter received by the Arlington county board inviting the board to send a representative to the Richmond hearing, and explained that the county board had referred this letter to the school board. Mrs. Canpbell also reported that the Arlington School Board on November 6 authorized its chairman to attend the Richmond hearing if the members of the Integration Committee believe this should be done. �Rev. Foster then moved that the school board action be approved and that Mrs. Canpbell be requested to go to Richmond to make a statement at the public hearing. This was seconded and passed unanimously. Mrs. Canpbell then explained that she needed help from the committee members in deciding what to say in Richmond. She outlined briefly the points which she said she believed should be included in the Arlington statement before the Governor's Commission on November 15* Each section of Mrs. Canpbell's proposal was considered separately. After a number of suggested revisions and additions were incorporated, a ten tative draft of the statement was unanimously approved. The draft forms the substance of the recommendation of the Integration Committee to the school board as to the statement Mrs. Canpbell should make in her appearance at Richmond. The statement, as approved, reads: 1. The system of public education in the Commonwealth of Virginia should continue to be maintained and supported and the conpulsory school attendance laws of the state should be continued in-force. 2* During the present interim period, before the final decree of the Supreme Court directing how the integration order is to be put into effect, Arlington residents ask that the commission urge that calm ness and restraint prevail in all acts and statements by citizens, in all official acts and statements, and particularly in any legis lative action by the Commonwealth of Virginia concerning the matter of integration of the races in the public schools* 3* Arlington citizens ask that local school boards be given maximum latitude as to the nethods to be used to carry out the integration decree within the f ramework of the law. U* It is the prayer of this board that the final recommendation of the Governor's Commission on Education be responsive to such decrees as the Supreme Court may enter. The members of the Integration Cbramittee agreed that no publicity should be given to the proposed statement by Mrs. Canpbell until the school board has considered it, and that any publicity at that time should be at the discretion of the school board. Dr. McCaskill explained that he had learned that the refreshments served at each committee meeting were not purchased with tax funds, but that they were paid for by members of the school board. He proposed that each member of the committee donate 25 cents to pay for refreshments for this meeting and the next one. This plan was accepted informally. (Note: The collection totaled $6.50. Part of the refreshments served at this meeting were donated, so the total cost for the evening was only $1.25* This leaves $5*25 in the fund for later use.)

General Appropriations This sum is arrived at by the use of a formula to determine the total number of teacher units. A teacher unit on the elementary level means that we employ one teacher for every thirty (30) pupils. A teacher unit on the secondary level means that we employ one teacher for every twenty-five (25) pupils. In 1854-55 we received from the State $1, 425.00 for each teacher unit. II. Transportation The amount of money that we receive for this is determined in three ways: 1. the number of m iles each bus travels ; 2. a subsidy for the gradual purchase of each b u s; and 3. the number of children transported. III. Other This would include: 1. Monies that we receive from the State for partial payment of the salaries of the superintendent of the schools, the director of instruction, helping teachers, mem bers of the supervisory staff, and others; 2. Subsidies for home economic and vocational education; 3. Subsidies for the purchase of textbooks; and 4. Subsidies for the operation of our sick leave plan, etc. �INTEGRATION COMMITTEE MEETING December 15, 1954 Page 2. FEDERAL SOURCES OF INCOME FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION I. In lieu of taxes - - these are monies received from the federal government for properties owned by the federal government on ground leased or rented. These monies do not actually equal the taxes that would be received on this land if it were used by private industry. II. School Lunch In the past we have received government subsidies of two cents (20) on each half pint of milk sold, and five cents (5<f) on each hot lunch sold. We are presently receiving one cent (1?) on each half pint of milk sold, and four (4£) cents on each hot lunch sold. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
