Lunches
Thousands of Jackson county children are supplied nutritious, inexpensive lunches prepared and served
every school day in the school cafeteria. At Wilson school in the northeast section of Medford three cooks
prepare about 300 lunches daily. Last Monday Mrs. Virginia Wicker (at left), cafeteria manager, Mrs. Vir
ginia Myers (center) and Mrs. Mary Goltz made bread dough to wrap around wieners which were then
baked for the main dish. This protein-carbohydrate food was accompanied by lettuce salad, spinach or
sauerkraut and applesauce. Milk is a part of every lunch menu.
