SCHOOL LUNCHES CAN HELP
TEACH GOOD FOOD HABIT


start of Delaware's school year.
it brings back one of the same
old problems confronting parents
each year at this time-lunch for
children at school lunch should
supply at least u, perhaps p of
the child's daily food require
ments, depending upon the regu-
larity and adequacy of meals eaten
at home.
School Lunches Can Be
Educational
Educational leaders the coun-
try over seem to accept more and
more the concept that all activity
in the school should be educa-
tional. 1t is natural then that the
school lunch, falling in the midst
of the child's day in school, should
also be a teaching activity. Wise
parents welcome this view of the
school lunch, for they rarely have
trouble getting Johnny to eat his
carrots after his class has raised
carrots in their garden. Studying
their food value and learning that
aviators eat them for better eye
sight. stimulates a desire among
children to eat carrots at the
school lunch counter.
Know Your Schools Lunch
Program
Interested parents will take
steps to learn what school lunch
facilities are available to their
children. In even the smallest
rural schools, community canning
can be designated for the lunch
program. Other schools will have
the harvest festivals at which pa
irons are given an opportunity to
donate needed food and equipment.
There will be federal funds avail
able to help schools serve better
lunches at lower cost. For fur
ther information about federal
funds, contact the Office of Distri-
button, War Food Administration, /
Custom House, Sixth and King
Streets. Wilmington. Delaware. 1t
may be that serving better lunches
in your school will be best accom-
plished by parents groups sitting
down to study what foods it takes
to make a good school lunch, whe-
ther the lunch is packed at home
or prepared at school, then seeing
that the children get it. Whatever
plan your school adopts should fill
its needs and please the patrons. |
However, no child should suffer
from lack of the right foods when /
it is in any way possible TO supply |
a substantial part of the days
needs in a good school lunch.

 official Report
 The official report of the fire has been prepared and released by Fire Marshal Lahey and presented to the state fire marshal.
 "The work of the Bremen at this fire" the Marshal states, rightfully dIscloses the adeptneSS Of the des partment personnel In time Of peril and when the safety of people is at stake. It iS true, of course, that q life was lost, for which all Of us Indeed are extremely sorry, but this was no doubt due to the loss of time from tho start of the fire, ard the notification to Fire HeadquarterB, And the disclosure of tho autopsy, showing that Miss Darnosky actually died Of smoke poisoning, proves what was in the mind Of Deputy Chief Champion at the time that she was dead as the firemen were making Q vain attempt to reach her limp body as 1t rested on the window sill of her room, on the east side Of the burning structure.
 The alarm which came at 2:0B Q, m, brought Engine Company No. Q of Willow street Engine co. No. l oi Burton street with Truck Company No. 2 and the booster engine from Fire Headquarters. Capt. John Y Ahearn was in charge of Engine No 6, acting Lieut.. William Burns in charge of Engine No. 1, Lieut.. Joe seph Pagan in charge Of Truck Company No. 2, and Lieut.. Maurice Noonan in charge of the booster engine.
 Ladders Raised
 Ladders were raised without de- lay, and MT, Cloves, and Miss Dor othy Ceilings were brought down from the Hillside avenue front; Miss Qeorgianna Clark, Q school teacher came down Q ladder from her ap- partment or the west side of Clifi street. On the east side, high up, over 30 feet from the ground, was Miss Barnosky's bedroom. Lieut. Pagan was at the top of the lad- der, with Pvt. Augustus Peck and Pvt. Anthony Muccino below; the Lieut.. had reached forward when suddenly the body toppled over, struck @ radio wire, and then plunged downward to the ground Deputy Chief Campion and Private Timothy Lynch rushed to the side of the body, examined 1t for pulse, and then had 1t removed to the hos- pitaI in the police ambulance, even though they were convinced the woman was dead as they discovered her leaning from the window oi the bedroom.
 Tn the meantime, the fire was being looked after by Lieut.. Maurice Noonan, Capt. Ahearn and Acting Lieut.. Burns.

 Rlghtful Role

Allies are taking against ocrmany'"
 Rlghtful Role
 Churchill said that France would now resume "her rightful historic role upon the world stage" and that France can by no means Do exclud. cd from discussions Of the principal Allies dealing with the problem Of the Rhine and the fate of Germany.
 Churchill said the Allies believed they were on the "inSt lap" of the European war, but warned that this iS c race in which failure to exert the fullest effort to the end may protract that end"
 "The present stage of the war Is dour and hard" he said, "and fighting must be expected on all fronts to increase in scale and in. tensity."
 The Germans were trying des- perately to prolong the war in the hope that Allied resolution would weaken or that division might arise between the three great pow CTS, he said.
 British Russian relations were more "close, intimate and cordial than ct present." Churchill said Where they could not agree, he ex- plained, they understood each others point of view.
 Polish Problem
 Though he was unable to ans nounce Q solution of the Polish problem, he said 1t certainly il not for want of trying"
 T am quite sure, however, that we have got e great deal nearer to it." he said.
 Churchill asserted Britain. Russia and the United States were firmly agreed on the recreation Of c strong, independent Poland" and added:
 Tt would be q great disappoint- ment to all sincere friends of Pos land if good arrangements could not be made enabling MT. Miko- lajczyk (premier of the Polish ex- ile government in Lpndon) to form a government on Polish soil recog- nized by all the powers concerned
 Replying to @ question from con- Servative Maj. Ernest c. R. Lloyd Churchill said the whole questions of Poland's frontiers would be brought to the peace conference in the form most helpful and favor- able to all concerned.
 Free Poland
 Tt is certainly to be hoped that the three great powers will guar- antee any independent and sov- ereign Free Poland which will emerge from any arrangementl made now and ratified at the peace conference" he said.
 He added that this was the fixed intention of both Britain and Rus sia.
 Britain and Russia have reached e very good working agreement con- corning Greece, Romania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia, Churchill said British policy will be to let the Greek people choose their. own form of government when normal con- ditions return, he said.

 Understanding
 Churchill indicated strongly that he and Stain achieved on under. standing on spheres of Balkan in. fluence and characterized the Bal- kan problem aS involving Black Sea interests and Mediterranean in. terests."
 Churchill discussed the Polish Is. sue, choosing his words with great care. He said 1t involved two cru. cial issues" - the question of Polish frontiers and the relations of the London and Lublin Polish govern. ments.
 T wish I could tell teh House that we had reached Q solution of these problems" he said. Tt cers taiElly was not for want of trying. ] am quite sure, however, that we have got Q great deal nearer to 1t, l hope that Mikolajczyk (PTime Minister Stanislaw Mikoiajczyk) will soon return to Moscow and 1t will be c great disappointment to all sincere friends of Poland if Q good arrangement cannot be made which will enable him to form 6 Polish government on Polish soil - Q goVs ernment recognized by all the great powers concerned and indeed by all those governments of the United Nations which now recognize only the Polish government in London.
 Speaking For Britain
 Speaking specifically for Britain, Churchill said of the frontier issue that 1t was hoped this though 1t may not entirely coincide or cor- respond with the pre-war frontier of Poland will nevertheless be ade- quate for the needs of the Polish nation and not inferior in character and in quality, taking the picture as whole, to what they had prev iousiy possessed.
 "These are critical days and 1t would be 6 great pity if time were wasted in indecision or protracted negotiations. If the Polish govern ment had taken the advice we tend- cred them at the beginning of this year the additional complication produced by the formation of the Polish National Committee of Lib- eration at Lublin would never have arisen. Anything like a prolonged delay in settlement can only have the effect of increasing division bee tween the Poles in London and the Poles in Warsaw and hampering the common action which the Poles and Russians and the rest of the
