HEALTH NOTES
Lunchroom Vs Snack Bar
A recent article in Georgia’s
Health should attract the atten
tion of both parents and school
authorities.
It reveals that a survey of 530
school children in 1948 showed
that 38 percent of those whose
diets fell below standard were
spending ten cents or more daily
for candy and soft drinks. It is
our responsibility to see that such
conditions do not exist in our
county. A child does not catch
up tomorrow on the essential
foods he skips today any more
than a farmer can increase his
yield by using fertilizer at gath
ering time.
Parents as well as teachers can
offer a great deal of help to the
child in making a wise selection
in the choice of food. This was
proven by the Toomsboro P.T.A.
when they voted unanimously to
discontinue the sale of candy,
soft drinks, and other confec
tions on the school grounds.
The school had been operating
a small snack bar and many of
the children were spending their
lunch money for knick-knacks in
stead of buying a hot balanced
meal in the school lunchroom.
Many parents were unaware that
this was happening.
Superintendent T C. Herndon
of the Toomsboro School stated
that after the snack bar was
closed he noticed an increase in
the number of children eating in
the lunchroom. Teachers in the
school feel that the performance
of the pupil has been generally
better since this plan went into
effect.
Toomsboro School is the first
school in the county to remedy
this situation. It is hoped that
other schools will follow in their
footsteps.
