that millions Of lunches have been
served in the schools, that the system
has been established as successful
through the energy Of private charit-
able agencies and that the time has
come when the serving Of lunches to
school children on a democratic basis
has become civic duty.
Most of the children under the plan
TO be adopted. will pay Tor their
lunches. Those who arc unable IA
pay will be served free, but no dis
tinction will be made between paying
children and non wing children. No
child will know whether another child
