their attitudes toward good nu
trition that will help keep them

They learn good human rela
tions, courtesy, and often how
the foods from far places on the
map reach their lunch table.”
Miss Pryor said that about
70", of the food used in Geor
gia lunchrooms is bought from
local merchants and farmers.
The government provides about
10 million dollars worth of free
foods to the lunchrooms, too.
There will be even more free
foods than usual this year, too,
since Congress appropriated 45
million dollars to buy extra food
in addition to the surplus foods
that come through the price
support program That means
that Georgia will get about 13
million dollars worth of free
foods this year. The surplus
foods will include many carloads

cation. H D. Hatchett heads the
distribution services.
The federal government will
provide 110 million dollars for
school lunchrooms throughout |
I the nation this year. Georgia,
j will get $2,858,391 of this, Miss j
I Pryor said. The Georgia school I
j child usually gets a hot, nour- |
; ishing lunch for about 25c,
I though the price varies from
school to school. Besides this,
the school children can get for
a few pennies a glass extra milk.
i The state will get a million dol
lars for this extra milk.
Georgia’s school lunchrooms
I average serving lunches to 463,-
; 609 children daily during the
1959-60 school year. The lunch
room managers often decorate
their lunchrooms with colorful
murals, such as Alice in Won
i derland pictures or gay circus
। scenes, making them attractive
. and pleasant to eat. They serve
: special lunches on festive occa
sions like Halloween, Valentine
। Day and other holiday seasons.
The school lunch managers
have had special training this
; summer in several foods work
। shops held in Waycross, States-
I boro, Columbus. Augusta. Car
tersville, Cobb County, Gwinnett
County, and Gainesville.
Even though the present
lunchroom program provides
nearly a half million hot lunch
es daily, it still serves only half
of the children in Georgia
schools. Miss Pryor said this
week that more parents should
encourage their children to take
advantage of the lunch at
school. It is cheaper than a
lunch that could be served at
home.
"Parents should provide their
children with the money to buy
the lunch, encourage them to
try different kinds of foods and
to take an intelligent interest in
nutrition, and see that they
have a good breakfast before
they come to school," she com
mented She thinks that parents
can help interest their children
in drinking more of the extra
milk that is provided for them
. through the public schools.
A typical menu, which pro
vides at least a third of the
I child’s daily food requirements,
is this one: oven-fried chicken,
green beans, sweet potato souf
fle, fruit salad, hot roll and but
ter. and milk
The school director com
mended the news media news
papers and radio and TV news
' rooms that publicize the school
lunch menu.
"Even though it may take the
' element of surprise out of
what's coming for lunch for the
: children, it enables parents to
, plan the family menus more in
telligently, so that they can
| gear the breakfast and supper
foods to what the youngsters
■ had for lunch," she explained.
The people of Georgia will
i vote in November on a proposed
1 amendment to the state Con
stitution that would make it
legal for local school systems to
: use educational funds for lunch
i room purposes, such as trans
porting the free foods, from dis
tribution points, paying utili
ties. replacing equinment. and
paying certain administrative
cost School funds may not now
be used for this because it has
been held officially by legal de
cisions that school lunch is not
an educational procedure Miss
Pryor hopes that the amend
ment will pass She believes it
would be of tremendous benefit
to local school systems.
