800,000 Lunches
Will Be
Medford District
More than 800,000 hot
lunches will be served and
1,000,000 or more half-pints of
milk are expected to be sold
during the school year which
started Sept. 12, according to
J. 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."
