on THE UP AND Up

There is no question about it
now! The u. S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics reports that retail food
prices throughout the country
reached their highest peak in all
history the middle of November.
The former nationwide peak was
in June 1920. When the price con-
trolls were lifted by the Government
everything went sky highward,
just as Chester Bow les ct al pre-
dicted but then came a drop of >
Per cent. in some food prices. with
the biggest drop in pork chops
which went down 1877 per cent. The
list that was released by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics goes
into details. On the whole official
figures show tNat practically al
food prices are becoming a little
more reasonable" than they were al
any time during the war. ~

FORTY-SIX VS.. FORTY-SEVEN

BY T. A. Hall, Milford, Del.
Well all be fixed
When we get to Heaven.
I've tried not to mix,
The thoughts I've tried to think,
During nineteen forty-six,
But now we're on the brink.
OF another brand new year
And | don't hardly know,
But | almost fear
/ don't know where to go.
TO find the words this time
That | think I'll need
To make my poems rhyme
And make you folks all heed.
And cause your hearts to burn
AS you read and wonder
And you say | do be durn
How that silly fool does blunder.
And you turn away disguseted
And say | do confess,
That fellow should be busted
For making such a mess.
But you just hold your horse
I'm sticking on to mine,
I'll show you I'm no force
When it comes to perfect rhyme.
And | know you know it's so
Your kindness has no end,
And / know you're not my foe
But | know you are my friend.
So ''howdo" to forty-seven
Bye-bye to forty-six
Well journey on toward Heaven
Where We'll all be glad to mix.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
BY ELEANOR NJ. WILKINSON
<u,rit,vnis, Ior the state DoSrd oi Health

What happens to the lunch you
mack for the eager beavers as they
20 off for their higher education!
Many more students are carrying
lunches. This increased feSpohSlpl-
-lity adds to the hOmemaker Ioou
budget and her work. The first puf-
pose of the carried lunch is 10 pro-
vide plenty of good food Tor these
students. 1t is a pleasure for the
person who prepares the lunches TO
be able to include some unusual
food, some surprise.
But what happens to TINS iunch !:
Those of us who have had the op-
rortunity to observe the food dis
carded are very much concerned
about the food from the carried
lunch which goes, untouched, INTO
tie garbage can. Untouched sand
iches. five or six cent perfect
pears and apples are being dis
| carded.
Whose responsibility is II to see
that this food is eaten? Are some
food normally disliked and should
we not put them in the lunch in the
first rlace? The teachers noon
hour is usually well filled with
cafeteria supervision. What assist
ance from tie teacher will reduce
{ this waste?
! 1t is believed the most successful
encouragement can he given al
home. Teach the child to "clean W
his plate" This assumes that TIE
food is appetizing and of norma
quantity. A sense of responsible
not one of being checked" each
time will care for the carried
lunch Ask a child for suggestions
and criticisms of his lunch, on oc
casion.
Don't let the garbage can be bet
ter fed than the students. -.
