At first glance the logical answer seems to be: Well, practically none at The fact that Dior bared the bosom quite immodestly, that Balmain used fur like wool to whip up broadtail and ermine dresses, that iust about every courturier showed boots at least to midcalf, probably cause as much of a ripple in the life of the average American homemaker as if the station wagon had broken down. Of course the hemline is something else. Ever since 1947 when Christian Dior dramatically dropped skirts to 12 inches from the floor and made us like it or at least conform women have eyed Paris fashion showings with apprehension. To many busy women in this country, adjusting a hem- lino is the only concession to fashion she has time to make and rather not bother with that.

What is there for this young growing American to eat? In checking resource material and reports it is apparent that one meal has been given little consideration. This is the carried lunch, packed at home to be eaten at midday at the office, plant, or at school. It represents approximately one-third of the food for many. It shoull be given emphasis because it is most often slighted in meal planning. Each weekday 33,000,000 men, women, and children eat their lunches away from home, from a lunchbox, paper bag or lunch bucket.

With the great emphasis on psychology these days, how many lunch packers consider the importance of these meals from a morale standpoint? The lunch break should he relaxing, and the food itself should give satisfaction and pleasure. It is a fine feeling for the person eating a packed lunch to know someone has given it thought and consideration. Packing lunches is a real challenge. This meal should be given as much thought as a meal prepared and served at home. By using imagination, packing lunches will not become a monotonous chore and those who carry them will anticipate lunchtime with pleasure.

Putting something special in the lunch different ways with sandwiches, special garnishes, dessert be most rewarding. Encourage milk drinking with this meal or in between. Here are some sample lunch menus from nutritionist, Delores Elliott. Elementary School Child Peanut Butter-Jelly on Raisin Bread or Peanut Butter-Marshmallow on Whole Wheat Bread.
