Menus Reflect Nutritional Research Lunchroom Is A Vital Part Of Teaching, Learning xi Mrs. Rice, Recent Bride, Feted By VIRGINIA SlMKINS Rotesooian Staff Writer Next week, all school units in Robeson county will be highlighting "School Lunch Room Week," October 13-19. Most schools are taking this as an opportunity to inform the public of what the school lunchroom program really means to a school and how much pupils can benefit from the program. The program is a far cry from the days when each school tried on its own to supplement lunches brought from home by having hot chocolate or hot soup, to give children a mid-day pickup. The National School Lunch Act was passed in Congress in 1946 a a a national security, to safeguard the health and.

well-being of the nation's children. Participating schools follow a menu pattern based on nutritional research. Such menus include the proper quantities protein-rich foods, fruits a vegetables, bread and butter or margarine, 'and one-half pint of milk. The lunch provides 1-3 to of the recommended dietary needs of the child. Children learn to eat a wide variety of foods and to develop desirable food, habits while becoming better informed about the kinds and amounts of food needed for normal growth and health.

An effort is made teachers to teach the proper table graces during the lunch period. In primary grades, hands are washed, under the eye of the teacher, before the room moves into the lunchroom. The school lunch program does more than provide hot lunches, it is a vital part of the school's total teaching-learning process. It is specifically aimed at teaching good health habits, and is just as important as the more formal lessons in health included in the curriculum. The federal government participates in the program and its help is most important.

Surplus commodities are provided by the federal government varying Widely, from turkeys to butter and cherries, to ripe olives. If It were not for 'this federal aid, tchools could not serve lunches at the 20 and 25 cent rate. Actually the food the child receives often is valued at from 50 to 75 cents. While schools receive a great deal in the way of surplus com- How To Hold FALSE TEETH More Firmly in Place Do your false teeth annoy and em- tarrass by slipping, dropping or wobbling when you eat, laugh or talk?

For this reason lunches can not 'be There is no attempt to make a profit, but workers must be paid, utilities are an expense. must be replaced or new equipment added. Any so- called "profit" is used for these purposes and ideally the lunchroom ends the year with a balance neither in the red nor too much in the black. Schools are reimbursed also, The amount of commodities and the cash reimbursement given to a school is based on the number of children who are actually eating in the lunchroom.

The participation of school children varies widely within school communities. On the whole, belter the participation, the better able the school is to provide for variety in the lunch program. In some communities civic or church groups contribute regularly to the lunchroom to permit underprivileged children to receive a meal at noon, which is often the best meal they get in (he entire day. ROBESON COUNTY Three new lunchrooms have opened in the Robeson county tance. system at Oxendine, Rex-Rennert, and Green This brings the total to 28 lunchrooms.

Last year while operating 25 lunchrooms, the schools in the' county served more than a million school lunches, at a daily average of about 6,506. The lunchroom program in this system alone is big business. Last year Robeson county received commodities from a government, with a wholesale value of $71,375, while they received direct cash reimbursements of $62,281.71. The amount of commodities and cash reimbursement for each school vary depending on the number of children eating in the lunchroom. For this reason, there is a wide variation among the schools.

Some schools have as high as 90 percent of the student body eating at the lunchroom, other schools have as few as 20 per cent. In many of these communities, children bring lunch from home and supplement it with a carton of milk. As a general rule, the longer a lunch room is ih operation, the higher its percentage of participation. It seems to be something that grows, as parents become educated to its impor- Mrs. James Otis Rice, the former Miss Patsy Smith before her recent marriage, was honored at a miscellaneous shower on Thursday evening by Mrs.
