National School Lunch Week This week several million students in school cafeterias across the country will be served the same menu on Wednesday, October 15. with the theme “Nutrition Through Social Awareness." About 1800 students in Polk County will have this menu: Tacos, Lettuce and Tomatoes,. Spanish Rice, Mexicala Corn, Pineapple Wedges, and Milk. Dorothy Owens, School Food Supervisor, says this is the most nutritious meal of the day for many children, particularly for those from low-income families. These lunches are prepared according to planned nutrition standards and supply about % of the nutrients boys and girls need each day. This program is one in which the schools since 1946, when the National School Act was passed by Congress enabling schools to be eligible to receive some donated commodities and cash reimbursement, have been able to offer nutritious meals. Because of this children are able to purchase lunches valued much higher for 60c in elementary and 75c in high school. Many needy children receive lunch free or at a reduced price. Hopefully these meals will make students more alert, effect his mental ability and develop better eating habits. Parents are encouraged to visit with their children at anytime and especially during National School Lunch Week. — Reporter FOR SALE: Wood heater, Parlor stove type. $75.

Mr Flowers has carried out ■Buch research on the subject and will illustrate with his own slides He is Research Coordinator for to® 1 S , tagville Center programs in the Historic Preservation Section of the Division of Archives and History, Raleigh. Child Safety Mr. Flowers described his purpose as follows: “The State of North Carolina, in a continuing effort to know more about the 18th and 19th century world which our preservation efforts have so handsomely defined, now wishes to know, specifically, what the historic landscape was like. We have come to understand that a structure cannot be properly interpreted without its historic setting about it.” Mr. Flowers continues: "There were some formal French-style gardens in North Carolina and South Carolina but not so many as we may have previously thought. Also it came as a surprise that the English were not interested in French-style gardens in the 18th century, but were already putting in the natural landscapes that are so well identified with William Kent and "Capability” Brown. These two were copied in the New World with great success.” Mr. Flowers’ wife, Maxine Rogers Flowers, is on the faculty of Duke University in Durham, and they, with their six year old son, live in the Duke Forest in Durham. Residents of the sponsoring groups will be a reception committee on October 17 at 2:30 p.m. at the Fine Arts Center. Why do they call them candidates when so many are ar from candid? Tryon B yN. C. Medical Society In T 6 man y precautions s X T lheir Child's health and ^ Immunizations to protect m from childhood diseases, Placing dangerous objects out of their reach at home, and many other safety measures. Yet many fail to Protect their children in automobiles. The fact is that more children are killed each year in North Carolina by motor vehicle accidents than by any other cause. Yet, 95 percent of these youngsters who are in car accidents have not been buckled up by their parents. To deal with this problem, the North Carolina Medical Society and the UNC Highway Safety Research Center recommend the use of crash-tested child restraints. If parents would make an effort to secure their children in these devices at least 70 out of every 100 children who die in automobile crashes would survive. In a crash the car stops very suddenly but everything, including people, inside the car continues to move until something stops them. It is far better for that something to be a seat belt or a restraint system than the dashboard or a windshield. Since seat belts are not designed for small children they need restraints specially made for smaller bodies. And since they are not old enough to make their own safety decisions, parents must make those decisions for them. Child restraints come in three basic types? the infant carrier, child seats, and safety harnesses. The infant carrier, for children less than about 15 pounds, faces the rear of the car and must be secured to the seat by the seat belts already in the car. Child seats for children who weight more than 15 pounds can sit up by themselves. These seats face forward, and again, they must be secured to the seat with the existing seat belt. The child seat incorporates either a safety shield or a harness system to hold the child in place. The safety harness must be installed in the center of the rear seat. This type of restraint provides less protection in the event of a crash but is preferable to no restraint at all for the child 1 Daily Bulletin. Wed., ^jl 5 - 1S80 who refuses to sit in a child - If you are shopping for a restraint system, keep following in mind: — Be sure the restraint you 1 has been crash-tested. If it IS - 1 will say so on the box. — Be sure to buy a restraint that will fit your car's seats and belts. — If your restraint includes a tether strap which goes over the seat, use it. If you don t the restraint will lose much of its its effectiveness. — Your child may like his restraint better if it allows him to look out the windows. — The protection provided by the restraint can be increased by installing it in the rear seat. If you would like a list of crash- tested child restraints, write: UNC Highway Safety Research Center, Chapel Hill, N. C. 27514.
