Penny Milk Program
For $4,000 District
Children Approved
Agriculture Department
Hopes Deliveries Can
Begin at 'EorIy Dote'

The Surplus Marketing Admins
tration of the Agriculture Depart
ment today approved a penny-a-
half-pint milk program for some
$4,000 undernourished children in
District schools and settlement
houses.
Notice of approval came to the
Board of Education in a letter from
S. M. A. Director Roy Hendrickson,
who said it was hoped milk deliveries
would begin "at an early date.
The milk-cost of which will be
paid by the District government
will 60 to children in more than 40
selected public schools, IA parochial
schools and seven settlement houses.
To qualify for the milk, school
has to have 60 per cent of its enroll
ment from needy families. If this
requirement is met. the entire school
will get the milk. Under the plan
the milk would be distributed at
the 10:30 recess. Some youngsters
already receive free half pints with
their free lunches under a w. P. A.
project. At first it was thought this
might block the S. M. A. project
because of clause in the agreement
form which provided that no one
child was to receive more than one
half pint of subsidized milk. OFF,
cials apparently have ironed this
out.
In the letter to the board it was
said officials of S. M. AS dairy divi-
