button the program has made to
the health and well-being of the
nation’s children, President Lyn
don Johnson has proclaimed the
week of October 8 - 14 as Nat
ional School Lunch Week.
“Over the past several years
we have invested more than $1
billion to bring school lunch and
nutritional programs to the child
ren of our cities,’’ President
Johnson said.
Now in its 21st year, the school
lunch program continues as an
example of how federal, state
and local agencies can effectively
work together. More than7l,ooo
elementary and secondary scho
ols across the country take part
In this program, officials of
USDA’s Consumer and Marketing
Service said.
The school lunch program also
makes good use of America’s
food abundance by helping to
convert farm products into meals
for children — many of whom
might otherwise have gone
hungry.
This year, in addition to the
20 million children receiving
lunch, about 100,000 children in
selected schools will be served
breakfast at school under a pi
lot program authorized by the
Child Nutrition Act of 1966.
In spite of the number of child
ren taking part in the breakfast
and lunch programs, President
Johnson pointed out that there
are still 9 million children
attending schools which have no
school lunch program.
"That number includes one
million poor children who should
be receiving lunch at little or
no cost,” he said. "Thus, while
deserved recognition is being
given our progress, we cannot
be wholly satisfied until these
needy young people are also be
ing assisted.
During the school term last
year, in the Southeast, about 5 1/4
million children in 16,679 schools
took part in either the lunch ana/
or breakfast program. A break

My 4-H Club Story
By Vivian Sawyers
During the short time I have
been a 4-H Club member, I
have learned that the experiences
gained through working in the
organization will help me a great
deal in the future.
I became aware of the organ
ization after I took a look at
the accomplishments made by
my older 4-H sister. With her
encouragement, I decided to take
part in the 4-H organization.
I have set the table many
times at home for my family’s
meals, but after experiences with
table setting, I really learned
the importance of correct table
setting. Not only did I learn
how to set the table correctly
but the importance of colors
blending together to make the
table attractive and a lovely
centerpiece to catch the eye.
By demonstrating the procedure
of table setting to my class
and talking to them I became
more comfortable, at ease, and
didn’t feel so shaky. By being
presented a certificate for an
award of merit, I was encouraged
to continue on with my 4-Hwork.
I have learned that you cannot
do very much alone in 4-Hwork.
You have to work together as
a group, and that is one way
that 4-H has extra meaning. The
4-H Club is not only for boys
and girls, it is also for young
men and women as well. The
4-H is not just for persons liv
ing out of town or those that
would like to be farmers, or
girls that would like to cook
and sew. The 4-H Club is for
all persons and it offers some
thing for all persons wants and
needs, such as: learning to speak
well, following certain health and
safety habits, learning how to
plant a garden, and how to care
for it, learning new games and
most of all - how to make work
ing fun.
The 4-H Club is one that stands
for great Importance. The club
creed and motto are aids in mak
ing it great. There is our head
to make us think more clearly,
our heart for showing kindness
toward others, our hands for
larger service of doing and help
ing, and our health so that we
may be strong boys and girls
to make our community, club, and
country more suitable in which
to live. Also, I would kike to

include in my story the 4-H
experiences I have had. In 4-H
I made cornmeal muffins for the
first time and they were not bad
at all. I received second place
at school.
I have found that working with
4-H is fun and that you shouldn’t
stop but go on until you reach
what is waiting for you and work
with it so that you can do good
with it. These last words are
taken from what my sister often
says, because she began like me
and is now a senior 4-H’er and
has competed at state contests,
although she did not win.
4-H really is a club organized
for experiences that will help
you. It is one that will build
your learning skills and most
of all it means helping boys
and girls become physically fit
for the role in today’s life.
I would like to close my story
by saying that we should all
stick to our motto and live by
it day to day, “To Make The
Best Better.”

Rosenhaupt Tells Oxford Students
Teachers Are Your Own Creation
“Every single one of your tea
chers is very much your own cr
eation,” Dr, Hans Rosenhaupt
told students at Emory’s Oxford
College at opening convocation
exercises Thursday night at Ox
ford.
Dr. Rosenhaupt, national di
rector of the Woodrow Wilson
National Fellowship Foundation,
explained: “If Socrates had been
exposed day In, day out, to In
different students, quite probably
he would have become a less
than good teacher.”
“We read the New Testa
ment mainly for the light It sheds
on the life and teachings of Jesus
of Nazareth. However, If Peter
and John, yes, and Judas Isca
riot, had been sulky, uninterest
ed, resistant disciples, quite pos
sible His teachings would have
been less Inspired, as St. Paul’s
teachings would have been with
out the clear needs of those to
whom he addressed his epistles,
Mercer U. Gets
Scholarships
From Sou. RR
MACON—Dr. Rufus C. Harris,
president of Mercer University,
announced today the establish
ment by Southern Railway Sys
tem of scholarship grants which
he called “so generous In their
terms that they are certain to
be eagerly sought after by the
kind of students Mercer seeks.”
The scholarship program Is
designed primarily for children
of Southern Railway System em
ployees with the University being
the sole judge of who will re
ceive them.
The preference order for the
award of these scholarships will
be first to dependents of South
ern Railway System employees
In Georgia, second to depend
ents of Southern employees in
other states and third to non-
Southern applicants living In Bibb
County.
The program will begin with the
awarding of two scholarships, one
for each sex. Two additional
scholarships win be awarded an
nually, distributed equally bet
ween the sexes, until eight have
been established.
The scholarships will cover
full tuition and related charges,
plus SI,OOO a year for other ex
penses. They will be granted
on the basis of ability and need
following Mercer’s established
scholarship criteria.
The University Council Com
mittee on Student Financial Aid
will select the recipients. Every
scholarship is to cover a four
year period, renewable every
year if the student makes sat
isfactory progress.
as Martin Luther’s letters and
conversations would have been
less sharp and meaningful with
out the constant questioning from
his students and friends.
“How good your teachers are
is far more in your hands than
you know, as how good our Con
gress Is depends on us, the elec
torate.”
Dr. Rosenhaupt advised the
students that the battle between
vocational and liberal education
has ended “In almost total vic
tory for the liberal arts.” Today
even vocational schools require
general background courses.
It’s human to question why you
must read Browning when your
Interest Is In Golding, Dr. Rosen
haupt said, but it Is the better
part of wisdom to become ac
quainted with whatever the sub
ject Is.
“I give you my word that not
hing you’ll be asked to study
could possibly be as dull as some
of the people you’ll have to get
along with as you grow older.”
Oxford College welcomed some
500 students when classes began
Friday.

as part of Oxford’s growth to
