Wednes-" day the nueen'a child we take,' has been rcun' ructed in theso modern times to "the child's lunch we make every day In the week." Sometimes this question of school lunches becomes a mil problem and rn'iter a ninriny prob lem at that. Because Susy Jones has hard boiled cRgs und pickles In her hi Hell box is sufficient reason to oi her youngsters for their boxes to contain the same things. Yet with mothers that Is anything bntJ a logical reason. It is difficult to argue convincingly with small minds as lo what Is "good for you" and what Isn't. To make it Hlmpler for moth ers, -who huve this as one or (heir dally ta:;lts. w' are publishing sug gestions for one week's lunches. Youngsters are curious and oho reason for the fascination of the hard-boiled egg. perhaps. Is the fact that It isn't an everyday article of diet. So why not call these dally lunches the ''wafl and sen hinchtK. Thla makes Ihe prooiss of unwrupplng the intknown sand wiches and sweets it continual sur prise.
