From the one-room school at Pinehurst, with only 12 pupils, to the county's larg est systems, every district is ser- ing a hot lunch at noon which meets the requirements set up for the Oregon school lunch pro gram by national and state au thorities. , -Information on the program gathered last week through the assistance of Mrs. Una B. Inch, supervisor of rural schools, show that the problem of an adequate noon lunch for the school child is being met in Jackson county. Although charges are kept to a minimum, since the program is designed to merely "break even" financially, total receipts in the county last year were $271,400, according to records in the office of the county superintendent of schools. Each school is required to keep a daily record of the menu served,, the total number of persons served end the re ceipts. -.-' : ' Mrs. Inch , pointed out that every child who wants lunch is served. Some pupils earn their lunch money by working either in the lunchroom or at other tasks about the school, and some bring lunches from home. Menus are planned by the cooks who receive suggestions and advice from Laura P. Wells, director, and Janet E. Butter worth, supervisor of the Oregon school lunch program. Under the program, the menus each day must meet certain nurti- tional standards, an effort is made to have the foods varied In color, texture, flavor, form and combinations so that appe tites are tempted, costs are con trolled by good purchasing prac- tices and through use of surplus foods and those in seasonal sup ply.

A Type A lunclrmust have a one-half pint serving of whole milk; two ounces per serving 01 a protein food such as meat, fish, poultry, cheese, beans, peas, eggs or peanut butter; three- fourths cup per serving of vege tables and fruits; one of more portions per serving of forti fied or whole-grain bread, and butter or fortified margarine. In most schools smaller portions are served to the smaller chil dren, with larger ones for the older children, and the .supply is ample enough for seconds for those who wish them. If a child has diet problems' such as allergies, a letter from the doctor to the school cook informs her of his special needs. ' The program is government subsidized in the amount of three cents for each Type A meal served to children. Meals for teachers are not subsidized In addition, certain foods are donated by the government and may be obtained through the state if the school paya . the freight. . ' ; This season It has been an nounced that butter, shortening, dried milk, cheese, dried beans, canned beef and gravy, peaches, possibly pears, and limited am. ounts of tomato paste, , beans, peanut butter and orange con centrate are the commodities av ailable. Figures worked out by the state show that the average cost for labor and food is 17.8 per person fed. Commodities re ceived amounted to .066 per plate last year. ' Sanitation rules are observed in the kitchens and lunchrooms. Kitchen workers must be in good health, and are required to wear uniforms and cover the hair while at work. An effort is made in most schools to keep the cafeterias not only clean and sanitary, but attractive as well with .potted flowers and window draperies. To aid the lunch room staff, the director issues a handbook which contains information on menus, nutritional ' standards, meal preparation, food storage and record keeping. In addition Mrs. Inch prepares a mimeogra phed leaflet called "Crumbs for the Cook," which contains use ful and interesting information and a recipe exchange among Jackson county cooks. In the last issue she quoted Miss Butterworth as saying "The school lunch has two main ob jectives; to provide the child with a good noon meal which will meet at least one third of his daily nutritional require ments and to provide learning experiences such as the oppor tunity to develop. good food hab its, socially . acceptable table, practices and social poise." (See pictures on Page 1) Annual Dinner Planned by Club Phoenix Phoenix Thursday I club members and their hus bands will meet for an annual potluck dinner at the Phoenix Community club, Thursday, Oct ober 28, at 6:30 p.m. Thirty-year members will be honored guests at the dinner. Hostesses will be Mrs. Charles Loomis, Mrs. Jo Furry and Mrs. G. G. Skinner. Table service is required. , talks by Miss Elizabeth McGal hard and Miss Mary Ellen Bell, public health nurses, who re cently returned here after a stay in Europe. Miss Bell was abroad several months, and Miss McGal liard for the summer. Miss . McGalliard described two , large , hospitals which she and Miss Bell . visited . in the British Isles. One was the Crich- ton Royal hospital for mental patients at Dumfries, Scotland, and the second was Simpson Me morial Maternity hospital . in Edinburgh. : . 'u. 1. ' . : Miss McGalliard stated that Crichton Royal hospital, estab lished more (han 100 years ago, at that time set up practices for the care of mental patients still considered progressive in both Great Britain -and this country. She tid the hospital is laid out m the "villa style" with sepa rate houses for patients suffer ing from similar types of mental illness, and that a farm is run in connection with the institu tion, this providing not only food for the hospital but occu pational therapy for the patients. Wards and rooms are extremely attractive, she stated, and the buildings are surrounded with gardens of great beauty. Prior to her .discussion of Crichton Koyal hospital, Miss McGalliard read from a report written by Miss Houliston, ma tron of Crichton Royal, who in 1947 visited mental hospitals in both the United States and Canada in order to study pro cedures and practices in these two countries. Miss Houliston praised some of the institutions in this country, but writing of others, described appalling con ditions. . ' . Miss McGalliard compared methods and procedures at Simp son Maternity hospital with those commonly used in this country. One she found worthy of note was that nurses, special ly trained, perform many of the deliveries. Another was that in stead of using small incubators for the care of premature in fants, Simpson hospital creates incubator temperatures and oth er conditions for the entire nursery, Miss Bell spoke generally of her stay in Spain, since she found that visitors require spe cial permission of the mayor and city council in order to visit Spanish hospitals, and therefore visited none. The speaker, who spent considerable lime in Spain, said she found "Spain like being in another world" and described the extremes of poverty and wealth, with the lack of proper food, clothing and shelter for the poor. Electricity Is In extremely short supply, she stated, with some cities without electricity from one to three days of every week. Homes were almost all without heat, she found, although last winter was the coldest in the history of Spain. She de scribed meeting both adults and children on the street, in bitter weather, .wearing neither coats or sweaters and in some cases without either shoes or stockings. There is much blindness, she said, and there is such a lack of mechanical or animal transpor tation that she saw humans pull ing carts or carrying heavy bur dens on their backs. Many old women make a meager liveli hood by selling cigarettes on the streets, and these are usually purchased singly, rather than in packs or cartons as in this coun try. Many of the blind are put to work selling lottery tickets, she said, the lottery being a popular form of money-raising in Spain. The average income ranges from $9 to $12 a month, the speaker said, and some farm workers have employment only two or three weeks of each year. Miss Bell said police, with machine guns strapped to their backs, can be seen moving about the streets, or in such public places as banks and post offices. The speaker also disdussed Switzerland, saying it was in complete contrast to Spain with peace, prosperity, a unified peo ple and children who are well cared for, loved and well edu cated. Nursing standards are high in Switzerland, she said, and she spoke of the fact that many men train as male nurses, and are highly regarded. There is much "spirit of service" in Switzerland, she said. In closing Miss Bell spoke of such pioneer nurses as Edith Cavell and Florence Nightingale and asked the assembled nurses "Are we aware of our great tradition?" ....... Miss Gertrude Molloy, presi dent of District 4, presided and Miss Miss Laura York, served as toast mistress and conducted group singing. Misses Sandra and Sharon Laing provided en tertainment in the form of a group of dances. Mrs. Belle Jones asked the blessing before the dinner was served. Sunday.
