School Lunch Program Announced
The Office of Catholic Schools today
announced its policy for free and reduced
price meals and free milk for children unable
to pay the full price of meals and milk served
under the National School Lunch, School
Breakfast, and Specific Milk Programs.
Local school officials have adopted the
attached family size and income criteria for
determining eligibility.
Children from families whose income is at
or below the levels shown are eligible for free
or reduced price meals. An extra one-half pint
of free milk is available to those who are
eligible for free meals. In addition, families
not meeting these criteria, but with other
unusual expenses due to unusually high
medical expenses, shelter costs in excess of 30
percent of income, special education expenses
due to the mental or physical condition of a
child, and disaster or casualty losses are urged
to apply.
Application forms are being sent to all
homes in a letter to parents. Additional copies
are available at the principal’s office in each
school. The information provided on the
application is confidential and will be used
only for the purpose of determining eligibility
for free or reduced meals, or free milk.
Applications may be submitted at any time
during the year.
In certain cases, foster children are also
eligible for these benefits. If a family has
foster children living with them and wishes to
apply for such meals and free milk for them,
it should contact the school.
If a family member becomes unemployed,
or if the family size changes, the family
should contact the school to file a new
application. Such changes may make the
children of the family eligible for reduced
price meals, or additional benefits such as free
meals and free milk if the family income and
size falls within the criteria specified in the
Eligibility Scale shown below:
In the operation of child feeding programs,
no child will be discriminated against because
of race, sex, color, or national origin.
“To discourage the possibility of
misrepresentation, the application forms
contain a statement above the space for
signature certifying that all information
furnished in the application is true and
correct. An additional statement is added to
warn that the application is being made in
connection with the receipt of federal funds,
that school officials may, for cause, verify the
information in the application, and that
deliberate misrepresentation of information
may subject the applicant to prosecution
under applicable state and criminal statutes.”
Under the provisions of the policy, the
principal of the school will review applications
and determine eligibility.
If a parent is dissatisfied with the ruling of
the official, he may wish to discuss the
decision with the determining official on an
informal basis.
If a parent wishes to make a formal appeal,
he may make a request, either orally or in
writing to Rev. Richard A. Kieran, Secretary
for Education, whose address is 756 West
Peachtree Street, N.W., Atlanta, Georgia
30308, phone 881-6643, for a hearing to
appeal the decision. The policy contains an
outline of the hearing procedure.
Each school and the Office of Catholic
Schools has a copy of the complete policy
which may be reviewed by any interested
party.

— 4 I Would Have Studied Harder....’—i
VATICAN CITY (NC) - In a
back-to-school talk, Pope John Paul I told
students that he would have studied harder
as a youth if he had known that he would
be pope someday.
In an address to an immense crowd in
St. Peter’s Square Sept. 17, Pope John Paul
decried the lack of job opportunities in
Italy and other nations for graduates of
high schools and universities.
The pope told students that when he
was a pupil he thought only “about being
young and about my parish.”
“No one came to tell me, ‘you will
become pope,’” he said. “But oh, if they
had only done that, I would have studied
more and prepared for it.”
“But now I am old, and there is no
time,” added the pontiff. “But you young
people who are studying, you have time,
youth, health, memory and committment.
Try to take advantage of all these gifts.”
The pope’s talk was sparked by the
opening of Italian schools Sept. 19.
Pope John Paul said that students “in
Italy and in other nations find the
impressive front doors of high schools and
universities swung wide open for them if
they want to enroll.
“But when they get their diploma or
degrees and leave school, they find only
tiny, tiny cracks to walk through. They
find no work and cannot marry.”
“These are problems,” said the pope,
“which today’s society must truly study.”
JOHN PAUL I - High Schooler.
The pope advised teachers that they
must know their students well if they want
to succeed.
“The person who wants to teach John
Latin, must not only know Latin but must
also know and love John,” said the pope.

Catholic On The Go—
(Continued from page 1)
of “Happy Days” fame, whom Betty remembers as a child.)
After living for a couple of years in New Orleans, where
Betty continued her education at Tulane University, Atlanta
became home for the Minneapolis native during the sixties.
Local audiences have seen her in past years in roles ranging
from Desdemona, the heroine of Shakespeare’s “Othello,” to
Tennessee Williams’ Princess Kosmonopolis, the fading
Hollywood actress in “Sweet Bird of Youth.”
She also delighted child audiences as “Bum Bum the Clown”
as star of her own kiddie’s show on WAGA-TV.
BUT MORE THAN ACTING HERSELF, Betty has worked
to teach children the fundamentals of the theater, poise and
diction, three categories in which she excels.
One of the most memorable events of her life took place
during a course she was teaching at the theactrical workshop she
co-ran for a number of years.
A promising student was Yolande King, daughter of the late
Martin Luther King, Jr. Ten years ago a telephone call to the
workshop, where Yolande was in class, brought word that Dr.
King had been killed.
“Everyone went into a panic,” Betty recalls. “We were afraid
to take Yokey, as she was called, home for fear of further
attacks on the King family. When I did drive her home I was
met immediately by members of the Secret Service and ushered
into the house.
“Coretta King asked that I stay and help her greet the many
dignitaries arriving to pay their respect. I was the first to
welcome then Vice President Richard Nixon when he arrived at
the King home,” she recalls.
WITH A HUSBAND, THREE CHILDREN, a full-time job
and a semi-invalid mother to care for, Betty hasn’t had much
time for theater in the last few years.
However, when the Smyrna Community Theater presented
its first production in December 1974, Betty again returned “to
the boards” to co-star in the group’s premiere performance of
“Arsenic And Old Lace,” in which she played Aunt Martha, one
of the delightfully deranged sisters who poison would-be
boarders and conduct funeral services for their victims in their
cellar.
Shortly after this Betty directed her own production of
“Jesus Christ, Superstar” at St. Thomas the Apostle Church in
Smyrna, where she then served as Lector.
These days fill of Betty’s spare time goes to work with
children and the several historical groups to which she belongs.
LAST YEAR SHE SERVED as President of the PTA at
Fitzhugh Lee Elementary School, where middle daughter Julie
was a student. The demanding job found Betty doing everything
from loading newspapers for the school’s paper sales to hosting
an end-of-school luncheon for the entire school staff and her
fellow PTA officers at her home.
This year brought the responsibility of serving as Director of
the Alfred Holt Colquitt Junior Chapter Children of the
Confederacy, an historical and educational group for youngsters
who descend from Confederate Soldiers of the War Between the
States.
In this capacity she oversees everything from cleaning the
tombstones of Confederate dead at the Marietta Cemetery to
gathering clothing and other items for Rabun Gap Nachoochee
School, one of the group’s primary recipients of charitable
donations. And she’s already busily at work on plans for the
Christmas party she will give for approximately 65 members and
guests of the Children of the Confederacy during the Yuletide
season.
HER BOOKKEEPING ABILITY is currently being utilized
by the John Howell Senior Chapter Colonial Dames 17th
Century, a patriotic lineage socity in which she serves as Chapter
Auditor.
Better Understanding At Corpus Christi
BY MICKIE FERRANTE
Along with over 400
fellow parishioners I attended
the Parent/Teacher
Orientations at Corpus Christi
Church last week and found
nfyself coming away with a
better understanding of what
is | being taught and why,
along with an enthusiasm for
the upcoming year of
religious education for our
young people.
This is the first year that
parents have been included in
the “behind the scenes”
planning and development of
our religious education
program as a group, and
many of us heard for the first
time not only why certain
things are taught, but from
what documents and
directives the materials are
based. The Diocesan
Religious Education Staff
made this presentation and
helped to clarify our
questions and doubts.
The group then broke into
two smaller groups consisting
of elementary and high
school parents. Sister Rose
Huber introduced the
elementary teachers and Olga
Myers showed us the
continuity of the texts from
grades one through seven.
Text books were then passed
around for our inspection,
comments and further input
into the program.
Sister Dolores Staudt
conducted the high school
sessions, introducing the
teachers and explaining the

materials and courses being
offered to grades eight
through twelve. Questions
were answered and once again
we felt our input was warmly
received and considered
valuable.
On Sunday, October 1, the
classes for our young people
begin and I cannot help but
feel grateful and excited that
they are being given such a
vibrant program to strengthen
them in their growth in the
Lord.
The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) also
found out that Betty is a “worker” and elected her to serve on
the Board of the Atlanta Chapter for the next two years. She’s
also the chapter’s “official baker” of cakes for special DAR
events.
In addition, she has served as Matron of Honor of the
Georgia Division Sons of Confederate Veterans and is a frequent
guest speaker for local historical and patriotic organizations.
She has been featured in the ATLANTA JOURNAL’S
“Today’s Club Woman” series; is listed in “The Hereditary
Register of the United States of America,” and has recently
been invited to have her biography appear in the next edition of
“The American Catholic Who’s Who.”
From secretary to Father Noel BurtenShaw at the
BULLETIN office to “Mommy” to Lisa, Julie and Nancy at
home, this member of Sacred Heart parish - this week’s
Catholic - certainly stays on the go!
