WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1980 6 B. MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE,. MEDFORD, ORE. (slhl Dfeftirkft Dietary Studies Show Children Undernourished It's difficult to believe that with all the food consumed In the United States (by school children particularly) most of our youngsters are under nourished. This is the mass opinion from dietary studies by many leading nutrition ex perts.. ... It la true among children of all ages, particularly in the adolescent age range, and in all income levels. , So the problem is that growing children are eating, but not enough of the nutri tiuos foods that contribute the energy they consume so rapid. Iy and the foods they need for fortifying their fast growth. Dietitians say that one rea son, especially among teen agers, is that three meals a day are often not enough dur A 50c DEPOSIT Will Hold Any Shoe UnHI School Starts YgjALSc"" J jl SCHOOL ...

After Scoot Snacks After school ' snacks are needed to keep the diet well balanced. Often, these snacks are filling, and that is about all they are. Plan snacks with an eye to their food needs, just as you would plan a regular meal. The menu should emphasize proteins to maintain active growth and calories as re quired for energy. Milk helps build strong bones and teeth. Carrots make excellent food for eyes, hair, skin. Green vegetables con tain iron for blood building. Beef and other proteins help maintain normal function of body cells. on en v k Summer Work in Schools Includes Overall Cleaning Another month or so re mains before classes resume in the county schools. Children will be tanned from the summer months in the sun, they will have grown and many of them outfitted in new clothes. Many parents probably will be happy to see school reopen, and many more children probably will not be happy., It has been a vacation for the pupils, not so much of a vacation for the parents, and no vacation at all for Medford school district personnel. Since school was out in June, district personnel have been cleaning walls, floors, and windows of all schools, making repairs in many more - repairs 'ranging from sand ing and recovering a desk top to patching cracks, in plaster - ana repainting many of the classrooms and buildings Incentive for Pupils Clean, pleasant claiftfooms are an incentive for pupils to do better work, and with this in mind, school officials, from the classroom teacher through the principal to, the superin tendent, compose lists of work sought during the vacation period. Maintaining buildings . and equipment valued close to $10 million requires an all-year program. But much of the work can not be done while school is in session, and as a result, extra help usually is retained in the summer to prepare the buildings for the fall opening. There are more than 80 per sons employed by the district this summer. Many of them are full-time employees-maintenance men and custodial help - who work in the gen eral clean - up program. In cluded among additional em ployees this summer are about 10 students and 12 other per sons. Some employees have been with the district more than 15 years. Several crews work at various aspects of classroom cleaning, building repair and maintenance during the sum mer. Cleans Windows One two-man crew - both of them are teachers - does noth Ing but wash all the windows inside and out in all the dis trict's buildings. It takes them all summer working an eight hour day five days a week. Another crew does nothing but floor work. Both tile and wood floors in each school is scrubbed, resealed and re waxed each summer to pre vent discoloration and un necessary deterioration. Cracked, loose or missing as phalt tile Is replaced.' All walls in all schools this year are being cleaned from ceiling to floor by another crew. Every other summer, walls are cleaned In this man ner, while on alternate years, they are cleaned half-way to the ceiling to remove an ac- PAYING OWN WAY An estimated one out of ev ery seven college students is currently paying his entire way in school by working.

He sands and re finishes them, and .if the top is so worn it will not with stand another sanding, it is covered with formica. Russ Acheson, assistant su perintendent in charge :s of buildings, maintenance and transportation, said that even tually every desk probably will be covered with formica. It will be done through the district's program of replacing tops which can not be resand- ed and refinished. ' All light fixtures in all schools are washed and clean ed for better illumination. All ventilators are removed and cleaned In all classrooms. These are some of the main tenance Items conducted each BACK USE PARK AND SHOP - THE EASIEST WAY FOR MOTHER AND.

Many of the jobs can not be done during the regu lar school year. There are numerous small work orders from teachers and principals to make the student's day more comfortable. Among such items are low ering a drinking fountain at one of the schools to a height more suitable for primary pu pils, improving ventilation in the kitchen in one of the schools, installing posts at a school ground to prevent cars from driving across the lawn, installing kick-plates on doors in another school, and numer ous other small jobs. Remodeling Work In addition to regular main tenance or repair work, dis trict personnel also is utilized In' remodeling work during the summer months when pu- TO SCHOOL n t jam.

Such remodeling work in-1 eludes construction of a coun seling center at Medford High school and work in the Jack sonville gymnasium to make it into a multi-purpose class room. Other workmen are re roofing some school buildings, repairing other roofs, and others are installing addition al storage space and shelving in buildings. Financing maintenance and operation in the district is a major item in the school dis trict's budget. This year there has been $584,948.58 budgeted for operation and mainten ance. This pays custodial help, buys janitorial supplies and finances needed miscellaneous repair work during the year. New additions to class rooms this year will require additional help. A storekeeper and painter will be added to the maintenance staff, and 1V4 custodians will be added to the operation staff, school officials said. Checks School Buses A full-time staff checks all school buses for operation, but this is more than lust a sum- Bier program - it continues tnrougnout tne year. r.acn uus receives a 1,000-mile servic ing, a 5,000-mile servicing and checkup, and after 10,000 miles, which is about once a year, each part of each bus is checked for proper operation If a part appears faulty or Jtworn excessively, it is re placed eiuierwim a new wan or a reconditioned one. When school starts in anoth er month or so, district per sonnel will continue their maintenance and operation as signments, and the general summer clean-up will, for the most part, be completed. Stu dents riding t; bus can be sure of a safe one, and when they arrive at school? the classrooms will be clean and pleasant. Child Should Select 'Extra' Reading Let your child select some of his "extra" reading mater ial for himself. Once he has discovered the fun of reading he will be bored by books beneath his level and will select "better books." Do encourage him, but do not force him to read only those books which you or his teacher select. '4 & A: - I UIH YOUNG MEN'S CACTUS CASUAL TROUSERS 28-34 Inch Waist Antelope and Beige Bedford Cord.
