FOOD FOR AMERICANS
The School Lunch
Vital to Children
By GAYNOR MADDOX
NEA Food and Nutrition Columnist
Indifference, ignorance or
poverty can shut off children
from profiting from the
school lunch program. This
affects ghetto children and
often the more affluent.
After years of active work
in feeding school children,
Helen McGee is convinced
that it is almost impossible
to teach a child who is too

hungry to listen. As new
president of the American
School Food Service Associa
tion, this dedicated woman
plans an aggressive cam
paign to alert parents and
school authorities to the des
perate need for more school
lunches.
“More than 50 million chil
dren have just returned to
-- x
Helen McGee
school. About half will miss
out on one of the best things
going for them —a hot school
lunch,” says this graduate
home economist and nutri
tionist, responsible for the
foods programs in 22 schools
in Midwest City, Okla.
For the national school
lunch program, the federal
government furnishes some
foods and pays for part of
operation. Each year more
money is appropriated by
Congress. The state depart
ments of education pay part,
some foods are donated lo
cally. The children pay for
lunch at a minimum cost.
Some children receive lunch
at less than cost; others get
it free but only school au
thorities know this. The
menus are built around at
least two ounces of protein
food, %-cup of vegetables or
fruits, and %-pint of milk.
This noontime meal must
provide at least one-third of
a growing child’s daily nutri
tional needs.
“But there is more to the
program than getting a
share of nutrition into their
bellies,” Mrs. McGee,
mother of two grown sons
and a daughter, states, add
ing:
“The lunch is also an ad
ditional experience. It broad
ens the range of foods they
learn to eat. It starts them
on a lifelong habit of accept
ing many foods they might
otherwise never know
about.”
Asked why so many chil
dren still do not participate,
she replies:
“Don’t forget that millions
of children attend schools
that do not offer lunch,
either because of indiffer
ence or because the school
lacks kitchen facilities.
“Many are in ghetto dis
tricts. In some cases, school
boards have high school
home economics depart
ments cook lunches and
truck them to the ghetto
schools. Some few have set
up commissary departments
to deliver hot lunches to the
deprived children.”
Need for better nutrition is
not the problem only of poor
children. Many boys and
girls with money in their
pockets leave school at noon
to buy a lunch of sweets and
sodas and snacks.
Helen McGee and her as-
sociates are determined to
make more parents under
stand these facts and to
show them how to establish
a program in their own com
munity.
“Once parents are made
aware of what children are
missing, let’s hope they will
do something constructive
about it,” she states.

Going To No Seed
AUSTIN, Tex. (UPI) - Texas
scientists are test marketing a
new variety of seedless water
melons - hailed as “the dream
of every nine-year-old.”
The new melons were de
