School Cafeteria Manager
About New Food Program, Results
The school lunch program
in this country is "big busi
ness" and parents should see
that the children gel good
food. This was the theme of
n talk given last night at Med
ford High school by Mrs. Gcna
Larson, LaMesa, Calif., super
visor of the cafeteria for
Helix High school. Mrs. Lar
son took over the cafeteria
program several years ago
and since that time has grad
ually changed the type and
variety of food served in the
school, which has about 2,400
students.
Mrs. Larson stales that as a
result of the program, the
school has had a lower rate
of absenteeism, scholarship
and general morale has Im
proved, and the number of
broken bones among young
sters engaging in athletics and
sports has decreased. She be
lieves that problem students
are decreasing.
Her appearance here last
night was sponsored by the
Natural Food associates with
the cooperation of school of
ficials. Program Outlined
Mrs. Larson first outlined
generally how school lunch
programs are operated and
pointed out that through the
federal government, certain
surplus foods are supplied
schools-and some funds are
available for purchase of such
foods as milk. Mrs. Larson,
who serves as dietitian for the
cafeteria, first began her "bet
ter food" program by cutting
off the supply of candy and
chocolate milk. In some in
stances she substituted enrob
powder for chocolate, which
she says is "kinder to teen age
complexions."
The next year she cut down

on the "snack foods" served
and substituted a "salad line,"
with the salads made from
fresh fruit and vegetables. A
hot dish, bread and milk are
also available. The third year
the system added box lunches
which included a protein sand
wich made of whole wheat
bread, fresh fruit and vege
tables and the hot dish. These
proved popular, she said, since
the students are permitted to
eat the box lunches outside on
the school campus.
Other changes were the sub
stitution of arrow root flour,
which is high in calcium, for
corn starch, dark brown sugar
for white, school-made catsup
which has no sugar in It,
school -made salad dressings,
and a new kind of bread made
with bone meal, wheat germ
and rice polishings in addi
tion to the whole wheat flour.
This was at first made to be
served for the athletes at
training tables, and later bak
ings were increased in order
that the bread would be avail-
ble for other students. Beans
and lentils are sprouted, since
these are said to be good
sources of vitamin B complex.
Training Table
At the training table the
athletes are also offered seeds,
wheat germ and peanut butter
in addition to the day's menu.
Raw fruits are available to all
students for desserts. Potatoes
are not peeled.
Mrs. Larson snid that she
has the cooperation of her
school principal, the coaches
and teachers of physical edu
cation in her program. In ad
dition to the new menus now
offered the students, they are
encouraged to walk to school
instead of riding

Talks
The speaker said in the be
ginning of her talk that stu
dents entering the school have
an average of 13 tooth cavities
per student; that before the
new food program, this aver
age grew to 30 cavities. She
said that this average has been
decreased, but offered no sta
tistics. She had no figures on
decreased absenteeism.
Mrs. Larson is convinced
that while sugar is "the cul
prit" causing poor teeth and
believes that a poor diet is
the basic cause of poor health
and disease. She said that
problem students are often
sent to her and she checks
their diet, since it is believed
a poorly fed student often is
a troublesome student; also
students forced into remedial
subjects have their diets
checked. An emergency break
fast program is carried on.
More than 50 per cent of
the students in the school
patronize the cafeteria, Mrs.
Larson said. In addition, all
students participate in nutri
tion studies. In summing up
the program, which included
colored motion pictures taken
at the school, Mrs. Larson said
that In addition to feeding
the children well while they
are in school, the ultimate
goal is to leach them good
eating habits.
During the discussion per
iod which followed she said
thai some of the free food
supplied by the government is
good, and some is not. She
classifies white flour and
while rice in the poor cate
gory and said taxpayers uf
the nation should find out why
it is that only the milled and
refined varieties are given to
(he schools, since it would be
cheaper to give them the un
processed grain. Mrs. Larson's
school buys wheat germ from
near-by processing plants and
this is shipped to the school by
refrigerated trucks, and kept
refrigerated at the school
since it deteriorates rapidly.
Mrs. Larson said in private
conversation following the
meeting that she has a council
of 21 physicians and dentists
which she uses for consulta
tions. More than 100 members and
Interested persons attended
the meeting. The speaker was
introduced by Elliott Beckon;
Miss Anna Strced presided.

A call to the Tribune news
room this morning stated that
Mrs. Larson has been named
to President Kennedy's physi
cal fitness council according
to an announcement in the
September issue of "Let's
Live" magazine.
Student Needs Early
College Application
Washington -HOT- When
should a high school student
begin taking steps lo get into
college?
Ideally, during his junior
year, and by all means no
later than early fall of his
senior year.
That's the latest word from
educators, who say that No
vember of the senior year is
the "last safe date" for apply
ing for admission lo a major
college.
Kducators recommend that
study of college catalogs and
admission requirements begin
in the 11th grade. Students
niH.v also take the preliminary
scholastic aptitude (college
board) tests In the junior high
school year.
Protective Hole
In ancient times, the bride
groom carried his bride over
the threshold to protect her
from evil spirits that were be
lieved lo be hovering there.
When a husband does it to
day, the custom is a sign of
his new protective role at

The combination is paying

its customers from society,

enough wherewithal to spend
as much as $1,200 for an eve

"Since many of our custo

customers looking for ski
sweaters in August.
"Neither do we follow

woman who is not attempting
to dress as fashion dictates, or
as other women dress. She
wants to dress as an individ
ual, yet not look bizarre. She
is assured of her clothes sense
. . . she carries the dress, it
doesn't carry her.
"She does not copy Mrs.
John F. Kennedy because
she's quite pleased with her
own style of dress already."
Gress said he believes one
of the things wrong in the
fashion industry today . . .
why various facets are crying
about drop in sales ... is lack
of individuality. "Many of the
big salons can't guarantee a
one-of-a-kind costume even if
the woman's willing to pay
$700 or $800 for it. This we of
fer, and it's succeeding beautifully."
Costume Designer
The designer, who was born
in Saltville, Pa., near Altoona,
moved from theatrical cos
tume design into the current
business. The three associates
are Ed Evans, native of Sa
vannah, Ga.; Mrs. Sheila
Brown, originally from Rock
ville Center, N.Y., who is
business manager, and Mrs.
Harriet Hagerty, from Glov
ersville, N.Y., a well-known
weaver who produces many
of the magnificent fabrics
used by the firm.
All now are residents of
New York's Greenwich Vil
lage, where "The Bald Sopra
no" (named for a play by Eu
gene Ionesco) had its start.
The move lo the vicinity of
the fashionable New York
shopping area came a few
weeks ago when the business
outgrew its village quarters.
The shop is worth a visit
from any tourist, even if the
tourist can't afford its prices.
The frame for a huge antique

once belonged to an opera

Gress shops the world for
fabrics other than those made
by Mrs. Hagerty, An antique
obi from Japan, for instance,
went into the making of a nar
row evening dress priced at
$750 - "but it's good for an
other 100 years," said the de
signer. Gress does very few fitted
dresses because "most women
don't have the figure which
can support a tight-fitting
dress. A little ease here and

WORK SMARTER
NOT HARDER
Hard work, in itself, will
win you no prizes or praises.
If you feel you're an over
worked homemaker, take a
long look at your standards.
Maybe you've set them too
high, considering all you have
to do. After all what is most
important to your family? In
a day's work there are many
unexpected situations to
knock a perfectionist house
keeper right off her wcll-dusl-ed
pedestal.
"Yellowed" or "grayed"
clothes that are supposed to
be white are definitely an un
desirable standard. What's
wrong? There are several pos
sible causes.
Iron in the water may be
one of the problems and it
might come from the water
heater, pipes or the source
of water. If this cause seems
likely, use a packaged water
conditioner-the type that does
not leave a scum. Don't use
liquid bleach in water contain
ing, iron. This intensifies the
yellow or sometimes leaves
brown specks unless you use a
water conditioner. Of course,
an automatic water softening
system is a good solution, too.
Other causes of dinginess
are often too little detergent,
or lack of hoi water. Sheets,
underwear, shirts, and other
clothes soiled with natural
body oils need hot water and
sufficient water and sufficient
soap or detergent. Otherwise,
oils are left in the fabric and
turn yellow when clothes arc
exposed to the heat of a dryer
or iron.
Sometimes loo much deter
gent causes yellowness. This
is because it isn't all rinsed
oul and discolors with heat.
The moral is: Measure deter
gent according to your wash
er's instructions.
If you'd like more informa
tion about new washing prod
ucts write Oregon State Uni
versity, Corvallis, for your
free copy of our bulletin, "To
day's Soaps and Detergents."
Smart homemnkers tell us
that washing walls will be
easier if you wash from the
bottom up. The reason is this.
If water drips down on the
cleaned portion, it won't stain.
But if you start at the top, the

drip causes streaks on the
dirty wall which are practi
cally imposible to remove ex
cept with hard rubbing.
Save time in picking up af
ter other members of your
family. Out-smart them by
putting one or more waste
baskets in every room and
hallway. It isn't necessary to
buy these; just collect some
deep boxes and invite the
children to help cover them
with pretty wall paper or
shelf paper when they need
some busy work. They'll take
more interest in using them
for their intended purpose.
If they empty their pockets
in an unsightly heap, give
each person a special box for
his personal clutter. This will
help keep it in one place.
For youngsters just learn
ing to eat at the table, use
small terry cloth hand towels
for place mats. The towels ab
sorb spills, wash easily, and
need no ironing.

and 4.5 million in colleges and
universities.
The student population of
America's school system has

Ranging in ages from 14 to
17, the girls are engaging in
creative work in art, drama,
music, and dance. Each par
ticipant emphasizes one area
and has the opportunity of
exploring other areas.
The Girl Scouts arrived at
the University Sunday, Au

is partly the result of chang;

60.000 per Year
Although states and com
munities have been building1
new public school classrooms,
at a feverish rate of about 60,
000 a year, the construction
boom has barely been able to
keep pace with enrollment in'
creases and the necessary
abandonment of unsafe apd
obsolete structures.
Thus the outlook is that
many school districts again
will face overcrowding and
half-day sessions this fall.
Last year, in the nation as a

Although there will be more
