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

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.

dessert., now and then plus a rookie.

arrives to slacken the pace; then a
twist of the switch to LOW heat

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

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,

2. Place sugar, com syrup, water,
cinnamon and food coloring in thrift
cooker and cook over HIGH heat of

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

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

glaze.

Since the vitamin A of milk la as

Menus rrortded

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. By
