School Lunch Helps The Less Fortunate
Millions of children in our
nation take for granted their
nutritious, low-cost, complete
lunch which they enjoy each noon
day. In all probability, they are
not aware that other millions of
youngsters can't enjoy a com
plete lunch at school.
The U. S. Department of Ag
riculture’s national school lunch
program reaches over 19 million
children—about 36 percent of the
nation's school children—in
about 71,000 public and non
profit private schools in every
state and In the U. S. Territories.
On the average, the actual cost
of the lunch is over 50 cents,
but the child pays only 25 to
35 cents. USDA’s Consumer
and Marketing Service contrib
utes about 10 1/2 cents in food,
and in cash. State and local
sources make up the remaining
10 to 15 cents.
But what of the remaining mil
lions of children who are missing
out on one of the best food bar
gains in the country? A USDA
study in 1962 shows that there
were more than 9 million young-

sters either attending schools in
isolated, rural areas, or in de
cayed urban areas which did not
have facilities to serve lunches.
Additionally there was a large
number of children attending sch
ools with lunch programs who
could not afford to buy the Type
A lunch served. Only the need
iest of these children could be
given free lunches because the
schools could not finance free
lunches for all of the needy with
out raising the lunch price be
yond the means of many of the
paying children.
But much has and is being done
to reach more children who need
better food. The national school
lunch program has always re
quired that participating schools
serve free or reduced-price lun
ches to needy children. As a
result, about 10 percent of the
total lunches served are pro
vided at little or no cost to
children who can't make the reg
ular payment.
In recent years—federal, state
and local governments have in
tensified their efforts to reach

to permit the intttattoci ‘ of food

With technical advice from spec
ialists of USDA’s Consumer and
Marketing Service and the
states--schools set up niateshift
kitchens with borrowed «r do
nated equipment. * Metiers and
teachers pitched in to feefart
and serve lunches.
Last year special assistance
to such feeding programs made
possible lunches for 205,54# stu
dents in 1,257 schools. Young
sters paid whatever they could
afford—a nickel, dime, penny,
or nothing.
For fiscal year 1966, for the
first time, Congress approp
riated funds specifically ear
marked for a demonstration pro
ject of special assistance to sch
ool lunch program appropriat
ion. This made it possible to
allocate extra amounts of food
and cash to the schools selected
for the project.

These schools received 1# to
15 cents cash reimbursement
per lunch, and more food, making
it possible to reduce lunch pri
ces 10, 15, or 20 cents a lunch
for all students. Youngsters
unable to afford anytMng were
served free of charge.

'There are two seas.. •by Bruce Barton
t
ThuK «re two seas in Palestine. One is fresh, and
fish are in it. Splashes of green adorn its banks.
Trias spread their branches over it and stretch out
their thirsty roots to sip of its healing water. Along
its shores the children play.
The River Jordan makes this sea with sparkling
water from the hills. So it laughs in the sunshine. And
awn btiiUl their houses near to it, and birds their nests;
- Md every kind of life is happier because it is there.
The River Jordan flows or south into another sea.
Mere is no splash of fish, no fluttering leaf, no song of
birds, no children’s laughter. Travellers choose another
route, unless on urgent business. The air hangs above
its waters and neither man nor beast nor fowl will
drink. What makes this mighty difference in these
neighbor seas? Not the River Jordan. It empties the
same good water into both. Not the soil in which they
lie; not the country round about.

THERE M NO SAKE THING
You can’t miss! Or can you?
With exciting reports of fishing
rolling in from lakes over the
southern half of the country, it’s
difficult to understand why any
one going afloat should not bring
home a bushel of big bass.
Yet it happens often, say the
fishing experts at .Mercury out
boards. usually to the angler who
neglects the basic rules of fish
finding.
Despite their willingness to
strike, springtime bass must be
stalled almost as deliberately as
during any otter time of year, but
not necessarily in the same
locations
Small fish can be found in the
shallows, as they quickly respond
to warming conditions first noted
in bays and along the flats. Sur
face and shallow-running lures
will usually give better results
than natural baits.
To discover the big fish, you’ll
have to work the bottom, as in
any season. Though lunkers make
feeding toravs into the Shallows,
they tend to spend most rtf'their
hours in tee intermediate regions
To reach them, select deegrrun
Ming or bottom bumping lutes
Time of day is fess critical dur
ing this period than a few months
irmp |ow U you want to sleep
late, go ahead. Several hours of
sunshine may be required to pro
voke underwater activity.
If you approach springtime bass
fishing in a methodical manner,
you cau’t miss, assert the Mercury
feUm. Mt you still must fish in
the right places.
New Life For Old Hearts
General Electric engineer Dave Fisher shows new Cardiac Pacemaker
— the smallest available in this country — next to a model of a human
heart. Miniature electronic devices such as this are credited with add
ing years to the life of many heart patients
The Cardiac Pacemaker is surgically implanted. Flexible leads are
attached to a weakened or damaged heart and electrical pulses from
the transistorized, battery powered pacemaker generator stimulate, or
’’pace,” heart muscles so as to restore and maintain a normal heart
beat.
Mora than 10,000 Americans now have their hearts electrically
“paced." Cardiac Pacemakers are prescribed and implanted by physi
cians specializing in the cardiovascular field, most frequently by a cardi
ologist and thoracic surgeon working as a team.
This is the difference: The Sea of Galilee receives
but does not keep the Jordan. For every drop that
flows into it another drop flows out. The giving and
receiving go on in equal measure. The other sea is
shrewder, hoarding its income jealously. It will not be
tempted into any generous impulse. Every drop it gets,
it keeps. The Sea of Galilee gives and lives. This other
sea gives nothing. It is named the Dead.
There are two seas in Palestine. There are two kinds
of people in the world . . .
Which kind are we?
