All County Schools Serve
Type A Lunches for Pupils
Every school in Jackson coun-1
ty is serving a Type A hot lunch
at noon, which means a balanc
ed menu providing at least a
third of the day's nutritional re
quirements. 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."

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.
