21OO children. According to these
figures there is already an increase
of about so per cent over the num-
ber who were fed last year.
Many schools are using Nation
al Youth Administration employees
to prepare these lunches. Most
schools use girls but a few are
having excellent results with boys.
Supervisors, teachers, and health
workers have been pleased with
the progress which Delaware
has made in school lunches partic-
ularly in the past year. Many of
the rural teachers have noticed
marked improvement in health and
attendance and attribute it to
school lunches.
Compared with other states we
have a very high percentage of
rural schools which serve we'll
balanced, cooked lunches. We are
receiving compliments from other
states for the Delaware school
lunch program.
Three years ago Board of Health
physicians estimated that half the
school children examined in Della
ware showed visible signs of mall
nutrition. Tooth decay is so COM
mon that perfect teeth are the ex-
ception. Our farmers produce the
healthful foods milk, eggs, fruits,
and vegetables-which would help
prevent this malnutrition and tooth
decay Good school lunches pro-
vide food where it is most needed.
There is much which interested
parents and community leaders
can do to help the smaller schools
with their lunches. Your school
may need volunteers for getting
commodities from the warehouse
to the school, to bake bread, or to
give a soup ladle. If you live in a
small rural school district, won't

schools, it is the teacher who must
take the initiative and responsible
lity for the school lunch program
Many children bring very poor
lunches from home. Some child
rem will bring no lunch at all
These same children will have just
as inadequate meals at home.
Last year and again this year,
surplus commodities and National
Youth Administration employees
have to make it possible for more
children to eat a well-planned and
well-prepared school lunch.
This year 121 Delaware schools
are already being supplied with
commodities for a total of about
5000 needy and undernourished
children. Last year S5 schools
were supplied for total of about

When you go visiting, take your
religion with you.
A devilish thought is an imp of
Satan.
Talk less, listen more, and learn
most.
The radiance of hope will light
up any dark path.
Like a luminous cloud which
conceals the sun in its bosom
trouble often contains unexpected
joys.
The man who tells all he knows
will soon be under the necessity of
repeating himself.
Christ desires to bring into your
Life a wealth of joy and happiness.
AS the mists of dawn disappear
before the rising sun, so do the
tears vanish from the heart that
becomes courageous.
The Scriptures say that a man
should not estimate a woman by
the sweet words of her mouth, but
by the path in which her feet are
