Russell Acheson, assistant superintendent of Medford schools. With each hot lunch sold, there is included a half-pint of milk, but many students take sack lunches, and purchase milk separately. Mrs. Virginia Wait is school lunch supervisor in the Med ' ford district. Mrs. Irene Drew is cook-manager at Medford High school, Mrs. Genive Gray at McLoughlin Junior High and Mrs. Hazel Withrow at Hedrick Junior High school. Cook-Managers Cook-managers in elemen tary schools are Mrs. Elsie Stowell, Griffin Creek; Mrs. Lois Breazeale, Hoover; Mrs. Zella Adams, Howard; Mrs. Darley Craig, Jackson; Mrs. Norma Pawlowski , Jackson ville; Mrs. Elaine Taplett, Jef ierson; Mrs. Ruth Hurt, Lin coln; Mrs. Margaret Verste gen, Lone Pine; Mrs. Guila Knapp, Oak Grove; Mrs. Vel ma Taylor, Roosevelt; Mrs. Elizabeth Vessel!, Ruch; Mrs. Lorraine Wasden, Washing ton; Mrs. Pauline Konopasek, West Side; and Mrs. Virginia Wicker, Wilson. Acheson said the school lunch program has become an integral part of the school cur riculum. The purpose of the program is two-fold: 1. To maintain and improve the health of the school child by providing an adequate noon meal. 2. To provide satisfactory learning experiences in the lunch program which will con tribute to the overall develop ment of the child. The Type A lunch is a com plete meal, Acheson noted, and is planned to provide one third to one-half the child's daily food needs. Nutritional Requirements The nutritional require ments for a Type A lunch are one-half pint of whole un favored milk; two ounces of protein-rich food supplied from fresh cooked or pro cessed meat, poultry or fish, cheese, or one egg, or one-half cup dried beans, peas or soy beans or four tablespoons of peanut butter; three-fourths cup of raw, cooked or canned vegetables andor fruit; one or more' portions of bread, muffins or other hot breads made of whole-grain or en riched flour or cereal; and two teaspoons of butter or forti fied margarine. Lilt Than Cost The price of a Type A lunch, Acheson said, is 25 cents for elementary school pupils and 30 cents for Junior and senior high students. Weekly luncheon tickets, 5 for $125, and monthly lunch eon tickets, 20 for $5, can be purchased, he said. The lunches are served at less than cost to the pupil, he noted, with the difference made up by federal and state subsidy of a few cents per meal, by surplus commodities furnished by the federal gov ernment, and by the district's contribution to overhead costs. Extra milk, other than that included in the Type A plate lunch, is sold at 3 cents per half-pint. This reduced price is made possible through the special milk program, which is designed to assist in ex panding dairy outlets by en couraging increased milk con sumption of the school child, Acheson said. Through the special school' milk program, the district is reimbursed up to 4 cents for one-half pint of milk sold to students. The price charged the students is the dealer's price per one-half pint, less the amount of reimbursement, plus the school handling charge. Acheson invited parents of pupils to visit and observe the cafeteria program in operation. Porfer Wonders About 'Reversal' Eugene - "Why did my Re publican opponent reverse his position on the state veterans loan program?" Rep. Charles O. Porter (D. Ore.) asked Sat urday. State Son. Edwin R. Durno (R. Medford) told a meeting of veterans groups in Eu gene Sept. 17 that he was "strongly in favor of Meas ure 13 on the November bal lot and urged everyone to vote 'yes' on this important measure affecting veterans housing," Porter said in a press release. "This is the same Senator Durno who was one of only 3 out of 29 state senators who voted against this meas ure in the last scssin of the legislature," Porter said. "Last year he voted against 1 this measure, yet now that he is running for congression-1 al office he tries to tell the veterans he is 'strongly in favor' of this measure. "We've had the 'new' Rich ard Nixon and the 'new' Elmo ; Smith and now apparently we're going to have the 'new' Ed Durno." City Holding Hems Left at Two Pools Green face masks followed by white swim caps and blue thongs are at the top of the list in numbers of items that were left at Medford's two! municipal swimming pools during the summer. j The city's parks and recrea- linn j...,lm..l !. 1! II.. burdened with these hundreds of items that forgetful swim mers left behind at the pools. The department is holding on to the articles in hope that the owners will come and claim them. Among the items are 22 green face masks (there are 1 also blue, white, black and yellow face masks), 21 white swim caps, 14 red swim trunks, jackets, sweaters, purses, a cap gun and even a toy police car. The lost items may be claimed at the department's offices in the city hall. Fev Employees In Welfare Move Portland - IUPD - State Fi nance Director Freeman Hol mer estimated Thursday less than half of the 169 State Wel fare Commission employees here would have to move to Salem under Gov. Mark Hat- j field's order relocating the agency. j Holmer said in a talk to the Progressive Business Men's I Club he could not give an j exact answer as to the number 1 of employees who would bo moved because a request made j to the commission several months ago had not been answered. "It would appear that about 14 to 40 per cent of the present 169 employees would be. moved to Salem," he said. I RENT or LEASE Typtwrittrt Addtno Machines Calculator! Cuh Regiattri VOIGHT'S 41 So.
