Project Sponsored by Temple Sisterhood, Rotary Club Decided improvement has been noted in the children given milk each day at the Central grammar school in a project sponsored by the Temple Sisterhood of Congregation Gemiluth Chassodim and the Alexandria Rotary club, it was announced today by S. E. Richardson, principal.

One-half pint of milk and two slices of bread were given 52 children during the winter months or 13 quarts and 4 loaves of bread each day for 100 school days, A total of 1,300 quarts of milk and 400 loaves of bread were given away in the project. Some of the children were underweight, some were undernourished, and had various other handicaps, many of which have been corrected by the daily consumption of milk. Mr. Richardson states that the milk and bread was the only lunch many of the children had daily and that it had done much to stimulate them both physically and mentally. The project will close soon as the need for this additional food value is not as necessary in the warmer months.
