SCHOOL LUNCH WEEK OBSERVED IN THIS COUNTY This week Madiaon County Schools observed National School Lunch Week. The program for each day is different end the din ing rooms are decorated to illu strate each program. The National School Lunch Pro gram, created in 1946, was design ed to "safeguard the health and well being of the nation's chil dren." But this is 1968, andl we are still faced with hunger and malnutrition among our school chil dren. In fact 10 fewer families are well fed today compared witih families ten years ego. A recent study of school lunch participation sponsored by the National Council of Catholic, Jewish and Negro women, revealed that two out of three children do not participate; and just under four percent of the total number of school children aire able to get a free lunch. The schools are not able to finance the lunch program. The National School Lunch Act pro vides that for every dollar ap portioned the state shall match by three dollars from sources with la toe state. These sources arei not well defined and, therefore, many states take the attitude 'that ithe payment of students for lunch es satisfy the state's three dol lars. This might be true if all children participate and all chil dren paid. However, all children) can not pay full price and all chil dren do not participate.

Highway engineers were rebuff ed for many years in their at tempts to push a roadway across the barrier mountains. Most of (their efforts were thwarted by the cost of construction. But, finally the work is completed, and Inter state 40 will allow traffic to flow from North Carolina's Piedmont across the once impregnable Smo ky Mountains and into Tennessee and the Mid-west. Construction of this staggering highway project was begun in the spring of 1953 before it actually became part of the Interstate Sys tem. Later, when the States and Fed eral Government formed their partnership for progress within the framework of the Federal Highway Trust Fund, the first contract was awarded in which the State put 10-per cent and the Fed eral Government 90-per cent of the cost.

Wigs are a coming thing wig sellers say. Partial wigs are also "in," or so it's said. But the latest is hair-weaving. One can find advertisements in the nation's metropolitan newspa pers urging men to come in and have new "European" hair woven into what comes naturally. Woven hair won't lift off, which is an advantage. One never re moves it, washes it along with, normal hair.

In order that the public might learn more about the program, the Madison-Buncombe Development Council, Inc., has released the following infor mation : H ELI'S LOCAL PEOPLE Would you like to see: Older people S-T-R-E-T-C-H their food dollars ? Families eat better? Madison County could partici pate in the U. S. Department of Agriculture Food Stamp Program. What are Food Stamps? Food stamps replace commodi ties in an area that uses them. Food Stamps are bought by low income families at a fraction of their value, depending on the fam ily's income. Then the stamps are used as cash at any store that wants to participate in the pro gram. Families can buy any food item, except imported food, at reg ular prices. Why have Food Stamps ? Food Stamps help the buyer. His dollars buy more food that he will eat because he selects them. The less money he has, the less the stamps cost. Low-income fam ilies and older people with small incomes can eat better for less money. Who can get the Food' Stamps ? Generally, anyone eligible for commodities is eligible for Food Stamps. 'Ail public assistance re cipients who are heads of bouse -hokle are eligible. Who pays for the Food Stamps? The buyer buys Food Stamps at a rata determined by his income and size of family. Fat example, family of four with an income1 of $110-$130 pays M for 7 worth of Food Stamps. The U.

Important Points Are Cited By ASCS Office Manager The Agricultural Stabilization) and Conservation Service (ASCS) has changed its system for record ing marketing of burley tobacco to permit the use of modern elec tronic data processing equipment, according to an announcement by Ralph Ramsey, ASCS office man ager for Madison County. In place of the old type market ing cards containing memoran dums of sales, which have been used in the past, a small plastic card will be issued to the oper- i ator of each farm having burley tobacco to sell. The new cards are similar to commercial credit cards and can be carried in a billfold. Ramsey explained that in order to insure proper ktenttfjcation of tobacco and to establish eligibili ty of price support, thds year's marketing cards must be taken to. the warehouse when the tobacco is delivered. Warehousemen will keep the farmer's cards in a safe place and return them to him with; las tobacco checks. When a farm er's tobacco is sold st auction, an ASCS Recorder in the warehouse office will enter the number of pounds sold on the back of tho marketing card and with the use of aa imprinter he will prepare a new form showing the name and -adkesa of the farm operator, tits, farm serial number, the ware boom identification, the date of ale and the number of pounds sold. Heretofore this information has been recorded on a memoran dum of sale taken from the old marketing card.
