Schools
(Continued from page 1)
coupled with milk, bread and dessert, certalnl^worth the
thrlty cents. But, let's face It. It doesn't represent the
most enticing menu we've seen by a long shot.
Participation reaches satisfactory levels In many of the
schools, such\as Youngsvllle High School where SO percent
are eating ln\he lunchroom and Perry's, Epsom and Ed
ward Best Elementary where over 80 percent are partici
pating. However, In practically every school participation
has dropped decidedly from September to October of this
year with the outlook for a continued decrease In the
months ahead.
Lunchrooms cannot continue to lose money. Children
cannot be expected to eat what does not appeal to them,
however good for them It might be. The quality of the
school lunches cannot be allowed to suffer any further.
Citizens of the county have a Urge Investment In the school
lunchroom facilities. They were built with one thing In
mind and that Is to feed the children wholesome, nourish
ing food at lunchtlme.
If the present situation continues, the purpose of the
cafeteria program will be defeated. Something must be
done, but what?
The County Board of Education Is keeping a close watch
on the situation, as well It should. It will receive a report
monthly from every school. Any further deterioration Is
very llkply to bring Immediate action from the Board.
Meanwhile, parent's and students can help. Participation
Is partly the answer,. Children should be encouraged to
eat, whenever possible, In the lunchroom. The food Is
carefully planned an<f prepared to afford a healthy, midday
meal. Perhaps some type of supplement will have to come
In order to Improve the financial situation of the programs.
Certainly, some schools are yolng to have to have help If
they continue to operate.
There were 4684 children In average dally attendance
In our schools In October. Seventy-five percent of these
participated In the lunchroom programs accounting for
70,456 meals served or ac average dally output of 3519
meals. In normal times, this would be considered a good
participation figure, But with rising costs eating away at
bank balances, with the federal government's stoppage of
surplus commodities and a declining participation on the
part of students, the school lunchrooms are In real trouble.
Perhaps the price of the . meals will have to be Increased,
only time will tell. In some schools coming under the
Poverty Program and ESEA federal support, students
certified as coming from Impoverished families pxy only
ten cents per meal with' the federal government paying
twenty and the state (lvlng the three cent reimbursement
. as It does on all meals. This Increases participation,
but 'does not Increase the Income per meal to the school.
The ten cent meal Is only served *t a few county schools.
No ten cent meals are served In any of the predominantly
white schools, none having qualified under the Poverty
program. > i
While the menu may vary from school to school, all child
ren are served relatively the same food, in some few In
stances, Students- are supplied with free meals where cir
cumstances dlctSte. Some local groups usually donate for
this purpose to the schools and the scattering of free lunches
does not enter Into the present situation.
Chances are some change wlll?-*>e made In the next few
weeks In the lunchroom programs. While October figures
showed a decided Improvement over those of September,
It Is unlikely this Improvement can bring about balanced
budgets and Improved fare In the schools without some
outside help.
The situation has reached a point where something Is
going to have to be done and perhaps, the sooner, the better.

We can do something about It.
Already we have done much
through our T B Association.
In 1907 American T B Asso
ciations announced a goal
"Stamp Out Tuberculos Is" .
They offered T B Christmas
Seals to Americans. The mo
ney has been used over the
years for Informing the peo
ple about such dangers as pu
blic spitting and slum condi
tions. Health minded people
appealed to legislatures for
T B hospitals, worked on the
local level for health depart
ments and the T B Association
invested In medical research,
health education In schools and
dietary research.
Today the fight goes on. We
know so much more about our
lungs and other organs of
breath. Emphysema, asthma,
bronchitis have joined T B as
major enemies of the breath of
life.
Your T B Association Is In
the fight. Our Christmas Seal
