Tempting Surprises Can <
Be Packed In Lunch Boxes

Family Food Editor
Barents' Magazine
Now. while planning to Ret the
children ready to ro back to
school this fall, is the time to
start gathering information you'll
need to make certain yours Ret
a Rood lunch every day.
Since most children carry their
lunches to school, let's start with
some suggestions that will help
you pack interesting and well bal
anced meals.
Sandwiches are the mainstay
of the packed lunch. They're easy
to make, easy to pack and easy
to eat. They're hiRh in food
Value, too.
Sandwich combinations are
practically unlimited There are
so many kinds of bread from
which to choose: enriched white;
rye; pumpernickle; whole wheat,
and cracked wheat; all of the
banana. raisin and date?to name
only a few plus French, Swedish
and regional breads, and a va
riety of rolls, biscuits and muf
fins
Spreads and fillings can be
sweater array, orlon is the over
ail favorite, lor a number of rea
son'- its cashmere look, easy
uashabiltty and thrifty price.
For grade school girls, full
skirts arc still In demand, but
"tylc-conseious Junior high belles
are going ip inore for slim lines
M
even more varied Most young
sters like all kinds of meat and
poultry fillings, including cold
cuts and meat spreads. They go
for peanut butter V- plain or
blended with grated carrot,
crumbled bacon, raisins, honey,
jam. whipped marshmallow top
ping. cream cheese, applesauce,
mashed banana, cranberry sauce,
crushed pineapple or chili sauce
They also like such combina
tions as shredded American
cheese and pickle relish; cream
cheese with jelly, olives or pine
apple; minced liver, celery and
mayonnaise: tuna fish, shredded
carrot and Russian dressing, sal
mon. lemon juice, mayonnaise,
chopped chives and green pepper;
egg and olive salad
The si/e and shape of sand
wiches also can be varied. For a
change cut sandwiches into
squares one clay, triangles or
streps the next. Or use cookie
i utters to make round sand
wiches, animals, hearts or what
ever shape suits your child's
fancy The odds and ends of
bread ran go into poultry stuffing
or bread pudding or he dried for
crumbs
Sandwiches should "grow up"
along with children Members of
the younger set "usually prefer
bland fillings They like small
sandwiches which make them feel
master of the task at hand.
Furthermore, the smaller the
Dheck Of Eyes
Deemed A Must
ror All Pupils
A complete visual cxamina- '
tion before a child begins or re
sumes school work may mean the
difference between a star pupil
and a problem child, according to
Or Robert E. Bannon of the
American Optical Company's Bu
reau of Visual Science.
"Don't depend on school vision
tests entirely." he advises. "They
are not intended to take the place
of a thorough professional eye ex
amination."
And because a child has a visu
al problem, he adds, it does not
necessarily mean that he must
wear glassies.'or at least not con
tinuously. Visual training is now
a highly developed science and a
wide range of instruments and
devices are available to doctors
and their patients.
One new training device actu
ally utilizes home television.
Similarly new type lenses have
eliminated use of old eye patches
once used iff visual training.
Some symptoms of visual defici
ency for'which parents should
watch, says Dr. Bannon, are
frowning, blinking, squinting, ir
ritability and lack of interest in
reading, shutting one eye. tilting
the head, headaches, eye aches
and complaints of blurred or
double Vision
"It your child docs need
glasses." he said, "you need not
worry about his breaking them
arid getting a splinter in his eye
because break-resistant glass and
plast,ir lenses may now he ob
tained "
STRIPES GO tOl'NI) AND
ROl'SI)
"Stripes toll a tale?a marvel
ous fashion tale?" says AMERI
CAN GIRL, "going round and
round, at Empire bodiee. adding
a new chapter at the natural
waist, and two more to cover the
torso. It's all about a cotton
princess with a mandarin collar
and short set-in-sleoves . ., the
happy ending, a back zipper."
TEACHER S Bt Ot'SF.S
Trying on blouses before buy
ing is recommended to teacher in
planning her wardrobe. Lenth
should be checked to be sure
the blouse will stay neatly tucked
into skirts.
sandwiches, the more they can
boast about the number they have
eaten!
As children get older, their
tastes become more sophisticated.
They like fillings with more zip
and texture interest: for example,
crumbled bacon added to a cheese
spread or chopped celery mixed
with a meat spread Girls like
fancy sandwiches almost indef
initely but boys, by the time
they are nine or ten. want more
food and less frills. They'll ask
for heartier sandwiches, with the
crusts left on, and more of them
In addition to two or more
sandwiches, the usual school
lunch includes a dessert and a
beverage?milk, cocoa or a juice
?carried from home in a vacuum
bottle or bought at school.
Most youngsters like to nibble
crisp vegetables with their sand
wiches or hot dish. Carrot sticks i
or a small young carrot, celery
strips or a chunk of crisp cab
bage are favorites. Peas in the
pod, yonng green beans and cauli
flowerettaa-are good. too. Small. ,
firm tomatoes can be cut into
quarters for ease in eating.

Well-Dressed Appearance
Creates Self - Assurance
By BHtYL TT'CKF.R
Fashion Editor. Parent* Magazine
Do clothe? have a psychologi
cal effect on children? Of courso
they do. Being well-dressed, and
that does not necessarily mean
having a "lot of expertsive clothes.
Instills in young persons a cer
tain Kilf confidence that is im
portant equipment for rtiem to
take back to school.
Here are some suggestions lhat
will help when choosing their
wardrobes and give them the self
assurance that will free them to
become good students.
t Dress vnur children tn con.
form with the style trends and
life of your particular commun
ity Don't try to make your child
the exception at school.
An example or two ? even if
you prefer short pants on junior,
but all the other boys wear long
pants, rave him the ridicule of his
friends.
Don't make sister wear long
cotton stockings in the winter be
cause you did when you were lit
tle. It's no longer In fashion.
Curb a too feminine instinct in
dressing junior for school.
2 Help your children to de
velop a sense of knowing what to
wear for the occasion. Don't im
ply that blue jeans are a disgrace.
They are sturdy, comfortable.
Ideal for play. On the other hand,
I
don't alio* be ruffled dresses to
go to school.
Being properly dressed for the
time and place is good manners
for young and old alike.
3. Avoid buying a size or two
larger than is needed. It's not
economy, it's waste. The child
looks like an orphan and all the
joy of having something new is
overshadowed because the child
is well aware that he looks ab
surd.
Buy the correct size, then take
advantage of the Rrow features,
which most clothes have today,
when the time arrives.
4 Don't etttbarrass your chil
dren when you take them shop*
ping for their back-to-school
clothes Too often mothers dis
cuss how fat or how thin a child
is with a sales person, while the
child stands silent and unhappy.
Select clothes to enhance the
child, hut don't let a shopping
trip turn into a lecture on his
physics' imperfections.
Let fashion and function work
for you. C loose bright happy col
ors for your children's clothes
and they'll be brighter, happier
children Let self-help features
such as rippers, snap fasteners
and buckles make them more self
reliant. proficient in dressing
themselves.
