JUNIORS LUNCHEON
Your ChiId's Midday Meal
More Vital Than Three RS

CCHOOL for the children means
packing school lunches each
Gay for many mother. Preparing
those midday box meals for Junior
and his sister to take to school
Goes add to the long list of mothers
daily duties; but it should be a
top-of-the-list duty and one that
commands her best thought.
What your child eats In the
middle of the day may be more
important to his present and
future welfare than a knowl-
edge Of fractions or an ga" in
spelling. In fact his noontime
meal may have lot to do with
his grade in arithmetic as
well as his prowess on the foot
ball field.
Packing lunch-or several
understandable be such chore if
you plan ahead. First, Of course,
you must keep well in mind what
constitutes a nourishing, well-bal-
sanced lunch; and then you can use
your ingenuity to vary the formula
and to devise shortcuts that will
speed the preparation process.
According to the National School
Lunch Program, children should
eat every noon: At least one cup
of milk (one-half pint; some pro-
TEN food tthe recommendation is
two ounces of lean meat, poultry,
fish or cheese; or one egg; or one

1t by wage increase for postai
workers.
In the meantime the taxing of
farm eooperatives is confused, And
the reason for the confusion, &C.
cordlng tc observers here, is that
farm organizations t h m selves
were confused over the issue. The
treasury department, while assert
ing that taxing of patronage divi-
dends would be a negligible figure
IN the overall tax structure, made
several suggestions which were
taken to mean that it favored a tax
increase. The department of agri-
future definitely oppos ed any
changes in the tax picture of CO.
ops, and the President issued state
ments also opposing any tax
changes.
However farm spokesman at
hearings were split. Business or
CARNATIONS which backed the Ma
tlonal Tax Equality Association and
National Associated businessmen
favored complete taxation. Spokes-
men for the American Farm Blu
reau Federation, the. Cooperative
League of the USA. and the Ma
tlonal Grange were willing to con-
cede. that those earnings of a coop
which are neither distributed to
the patrons in cash nor credited to
the patrons on the organization's
books could be taxed.
Go, the Missouri Farmers Union.
The National Farmers Union, tbe
National Federation OF Grain Co
operatives and the National Mikk
Producers Federation OPPOSED any
change in the Coop tax status. And
enrioAsly enough the National
Council OF Farmer Cooberafipes'
attitude Was pariously reported by
Others at the bearings. The NCFC
spokesman, boWeper, took no def-
mite stand ON the IMPLICATED re-
series Issue.
While the farm organizations
were split among themselves. not
so were some others. For instance
the American Mutual Alliance. the
National Association of Mutual In
surance agents, Cooperative Food
Distributors of America, Credit
Union National Association, Ma
tional Association of Mutual Saw
mgs Banks, National Savings &
Loan League and the US. Savings
q Loan League were united in op-
posing any change in the coop
status.
