A standard deduction for each household has been incorporated into the scale instead. The applications which are currently on file are being re-evaluated to determine whether children are eligible under the new criteria. Families of children whose benefits are reduced or terminated will receive written notice of the change at least 10 days before the effective date of the change. If a family member becomes unemployed or the family size or income changes, the family should contact the school to file a new application. Such changes may make the children of the family eligible for reduced price meals, or for the additional benefits such as free meals and milk if the family income falls at or below the current levels of eligibility. In certain cases foster children are also eligible for these benefits. If a family has foster children living with them and wishes to apply for such meaIs~ancTTftit1c for them, they should contact the school. Families who wish to submit a new application may obtain an application form from each school's office. The information on the application is confidential and will be used only for the purpose of determining eligibility. If a parent is dissatisfied with the decision of the determining official, he or she may wish to discuss it with the official on an informal basis. If he wishes to make a formal appeal, he may make a request either orally or in writing to Dr. Earl Sandefur, P.O. Box 2513, Winston-Salem, 27102, or call 727-8030 for a hearing to appeal the decision. All children are treated the same regardless of ability to pay. In the operation of child feeding programs, no child will be discriminated against because of race, color, or national origin, according to school officials.

Certificates will be awarded for those attending three or more sessions in the program, according to Ms. Johnson. The first session, "The Chemistry of Fire," will acquaint students with the three essential elements which make up the fire triangle, fuel, heat and air. A fire safety demonstration kit will be used to emphasize the nature of fire. Identification of common fire hazards will be the topic of the second session. Students will be challenged to seek out the not so evident fire hazards in their homes and communities. Common fire hazards around the home will be demonstrated with the use of a fire safety kit. The third session, according to Ms. Johnson will be devoted to giving the students a working knowledge of the fire extinguisher. "Students will actually experience the use of certain extinguishers on various classes of lire," she said. Targeting home fire escape plans as essential, the fourth session will concentrate on developing home escape plans. Instructors will also discuss the use of fire detectors in the home. Each session will be highlighted by films and actual demonstration^ to interest the fifth graders in learning about fire prevention and education," Ms. Johnson said.
