ImiUtmU Here's a little girl that believes irt helping mother prepare the re freshments for hr very-own party and findi it's almost as much fun al the party Itself. Even mother ll en toying her first attempt at making School lunche aren't what they ; used to be they're better. They're! more appetizing, more thoughtfully planned, better balanced &a to food j values. Btch yesr" frf tin pails of hastily packed food go down winter roads to th little red tchoolhoiue. The hot lunch prfpared on the school prem-! lart la supplanting the cold, carried lunch. And as the hot lunch project' spread to one school efter another j and from community to community, the children show a rising curve In grades for classroom work, dally school i attendance. And gain In height, weight, and g'neral health. The Worka Progreas Administration report one million undernourished children benefited by Its school lunch program during the last year itnd a half. Boards of education sponsored this project In their district, and parent-teacher associations and civic organizations gave it their active sup port. Livestock Cited In many rural communities the co operative extension service acting un der local leaders has assumed respon sibility for providing children who come from outlying farms, a hot mid day meal at the schoolhouse. exten sion work reports for 1936 show a total of nearly 600,000 children who participated In hot school lunches, tn some places 4-H club girls of teen age organized, cooked, and served the lunch with only a little adult super vision arid help. A few rural school officials slow to catch the point at first responded whole heartedly once it was pointed out that Just as they give the chickens a hot mash at noon in cold weather and warm the milk tot the calf at each feeding, so chil dren need warm, appetizing, well ba la heed noon meal each day of the school week to help them reach their optimum in physical and mental de velopment. To aid leaders of school lunch pro jects where funds are limited and equipment must be of the simplest, the Bureau of Home Economics has prepared three weeks menus and ac companying recipes to serve 50 chil dren. The school menu of course needs to dovetail smoothly Into the home blll-of-fare so that the child's diet as a whole provides him with the right amount of protein, miner als, vitamins, and calories. In some schools the lunchroom leaders urge children to take the menu home so their mothers can plan otheT meals in harmony with the week's schedule. Have General pattern Each of the weekly mentis suggest ed by the home economics econom ists end built on the five school days as the unit, follows this general pat tern: first, for the hearty hdt dish: once a week eggs In some form, creamed, scrambled, or combined with cheese, rlo. or vegetables. On the other days a meat or fish and vegetable chow der or stew; or dried beans or peas In appetizing form; or a substantial milk soup. Twice each week tomatoes coma In to the menu, for their good flavor and oolof and their high vitamin value. Milk Is always present, as milk to drink and doubling some days as one of the chief Ingredients in soup, sauce, or hot beverage. fruit likewise appears dally as the dessert., now and then plus a rookie. the candy quickly and merrily bub bles along until the crucial moment arrives to slacken the pace; then a twist of the switch to LOW heat turns the "laughing," amber-colored liquid into a "smiling" mood. LsV ' vaV - WM ?sftS nakibtn fear. For a pleasant treat for the children try thete eaiy-to-mahe Toffy Applet in the Thrift Cooker of your electric range. Red Taffy Applet, for It It ill to limple. There', none of the "melt" he had expected not even a boiled aver "dribble" on the range! These Taffy Applet are Ideal re freshment, or children' parties, (they'd be grand for Halloween) because, in the first place, the chil dren love 'em and, in the second place, they are such a wholesome goodie" that other mother will blete you, However, one thing to keep in mind is the fact that these taffy apples should be made the day they are to be eaten because the moisture from the apple will soften the candy and make it sticky. But you won't be inflicting any hardship on the youngsters if you tell them "every last apple" has to be eaten up. Miracle Method I wonder if you know that you have an ideal candy kettle In the thrift cooker of your Hotpoirtt elec trie farlge. This handy equipment handy because it can French fry, do wateriest cooking, Steam and be t Dutch oven it deep enough to that you need never worry about your candy boiling over, and it can make large quantities at a time. In this particular Instance, you remove the thrift cooker from itt intulated well in back of the range, and place It on the large surface ealrod unit There, Red Taffy Apple, (Make 12 Apples) 4 cups granulated sugar 1 cup light corn syrup Vt cupt water 4 teaspoons cinnamon Red liquid coloring, few drops 12 red applet 12 tkewert 1. Wash applet thoroughly and dry them. Insert skewers in blos som end. 2. Place sugar, com syrup, water, cinnamon and food coloring in thrift cooker and cook over HIGH heat of calrod unit until mixture begins to thicken and darken; then turn switch to LOW heat and continue cooking until the temperature 300' F, is reached the brittle ball stage. 3. Remove from heat and dip ap plet In syrup, coating them smoothly- At this point, if this were not an electric range story, you would prob ably be told to aet the syrup kettle in a pan of boiling water as the syrup begins to Cool. However, there will be enough heat stored in the calrod unit to keep the syrup warm and pli able until all of the applea are coated with this luscious Cinnamon-flavored glaze. (ailing to shake the bottle arid merely Inserting the straw and beginning to drink from the bottom, the cream remained on top and waa left to be thrown away. Since the vitamin A of milk la as sociated with the fat. waste of cream means waste of a food element that plays e. conspicuous part In the growth and well being of young children. Modern dairies are now put ting their milk throxush a horhogert Izrr that divide the fat globules Into such fine partlclea and mixta them so thoroughly through the milk that they cannot rise to the top as cream. Where homogenized milk Is not available. those In change of the school lunch can at leaat take pre cautions to aee that the cream la well mixed with the rent of the milk. so that every child will get all the food value that la coming to him. Menus rrortded For use In nursery school groups the home economics specialist of the U. 8. department of agriculture have aim worked up sample menus for a two-weeks' period. These two seta of school lunch menus tor the very young and for olde children are printed a Miscellaneous Publication 246: "Menus and Rcipea for Lunches at School." . A copv of this pamphlet rhay be obtained by any teecher, school lunch manager or parent-teacher group from the U. 8. department of agrt. culture. Waah.. D. C. Begun at ah emergency measure, many communi ties are planning to make the hot acnool lunch e permanent institution. CHRISTMAS SEALS 10 The emphasis, however, is 6ii the frulb; whatever la fretfi and season able. Local merchants ofton cooper ate with School lunch managera In quoting wholesale prfcea on oranges by crate or bxishel. Local committees band together and can fruit and vegetables for the school pantry, thus utilizing surplus' products from home gardens and orchards. The bumper crop of apples this year assures a winter-long supply of school lunch use east and west. ' Many tsed canned Milk In communities where market milk Is too expensive to use freshly In the school lunchrodm of where quality la questionable, canned evaporated milk or dried skim milk have been found a good substitute. One scant cupful Of dried skim milk diluted with 8'4 cups of watf equals about 1 quart of fresh skim milk tn aollds. Used with 11', ounces 6f But ter the food value Is about equiva lent to a quart of whole fresh milk. The dried skim milk In powdered form can also be mixed with potatoes as they are mashed or sifted with the other dry Ingredients In making bread, cookies. and baked goods, used In a more-thn-fluid-mllk ratio. It sup plies to children more of the calcium they need for building of bones and teeth without adding to the bulk of the meal. ' Children with small stomach ca pacity find It difficult sometimes to take all the milk they need In fluid form and yet have room for the frulte. vegetables, and other foods needed to round out their diet. These concentrated forms of milk are there fore a convenience on the school pantry shelf and may be the means of fortifying the diet with food sub stances In which It tends to be on the low aide. Cream Is lAt Homogenized milk I another rent development in the milk supply for school children. A study of the near empty milk bottles left by school children after they had drunk their milk through straws, showed that the half inch or so left In the bottom sometimes contained a sixth of the milk fat from the whole bottle.
