lEEEE^ THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER
t
Program Of Better Eating Habits Being Stressed In Haywood Schools
Meetings Being
Held In County
By Instructors
A series of meetings are being
held in Haywood schools, showing
the importance of the lunchrooms
to a well-rounded educational pro
gram. Two of the six scheduled
meetings have been held, with
Mrs. Rufus Siler, lunchroom sup
ervisor in charge.
The theme ot the program is
"To contribute to the total growtli
ol the child through the use of
the lunchroom as a learning situa
tion."
Meetings have been held in
Hazelwood and Waynesville, with
others slated at Fines Creek, Crab
tree-iron Duff, Bethel and Clyde.
Mrs-^Sjler, discussing, "Why A
LuncigBm," pointed out that:
"WtP^rhnt our school child to
be physically fit, mentally alert,
ard morally ^>und. We feel thai
the lunchroom may be used as a
learning situation to help make
him just that' way."
She discussed the National
School Lunch Act and explained
how this act provides 3, 4, 5 or 6
cents for all children who want
11 eat, and at the "same time re
quires each community to provide j
a lunch for those who cannot pay. j
In this way the 20 cents each i
child pays for his lunch is divided j
to pay for those who cannot pay j
But in spite of excellent lunch j
i
room facilities and personnel, Mrs.
Slier stated, "problems still exist,
such as poor participation, children
not eating the food prepared, bad
manners, untidy habits, children
coming to school without breakfast,
and sometimes the selling of candy
and soft drinks near the school."
"We decided one way we might
try to solve these problems was
to have meetings such as this
and let the public know our poli
cies and what we are striving to
do and ask for cooperation.
"Our goal is to give the child
back to you, the community, a ,
happy, healthy, and wise individual |
ready to take his place in building
a better place to lite."
In discussing the "Physical find
ings of school children of llaywood
county," Mrs. Rubye Bryson, pub
lic health nurse, pointed out these
six needs of school children: (1 >
regularity in meals, <2> time to
eat, '31 plenty of sleep and rest,
(4) outdoor exercise, <5) pleasant
environment, and (6? annual physi
cal and dental checkups.
She also told the audience that
growth of children should not be
measured merely with yardsticks
and scales, but for their normal
development in: habits, responsi
bilities. understanding, independ
ence, ana aDiuuex.
Mrs. Carl Ratcliffe, teacher sup
ervisor, used as. her topic, "The
Lunchroom ? A Road Map To i
Health", told of the need for
nutrition education and consistent
classroom leaching of food values, j
and their proper uses.
"We no longer try to force a
child to eat, but instead stress
the value of good eating habits," !
she said.
On the national level, about one- j
third of the total enrollment of
students eat lunches in the school
lunchrooms. Here in Haywood the
percentages are far above the na
tional and state levels. This is
attributed, in a large part, it was
pointed out. to the quality of the
fcod. and the modern lunchrooms
which have been provided, plus the
educational programs which are be
ing consistently stressed.
The percentages in schools in
this district are: Maggie 96; WTHS
88: Central Elementary 97; East
Waynesvillc 90; Rock Hill 68; and
Junaluska 96.
