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

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.

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.
About three-fourths of the
men and half of the women
in college art! paying at least
part of their expenses by
working. .

summer program is refinishing all the floors
in the district. Above Perry Strom, left,

Works on Desks
One man does nothing all
summer but take marks out of
desk tops. 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

summer in the district's high
scnooi, two junior n i g n
schools and 14 elementary
schools. 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

pils are not in school to be
disturbed.
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.
