Childs Diet Is Important
To Growth and WelI-Being
FEB. IS, 1852

1t is a well-known fact that the
Importance of a sufficient and
well-balanced diet in the life of
every growing child is of prime i'm
portance in the Education of the
total child.
A properly conducted school
lunch program is the best means
of informing the public of its re-
sponsibility in choosing adequate
and proper foods to preserve and
restore good health.
The parochial elementary and
high schools, have an opportunity
to do much to make the citizens of
our country more healthful and
happy by nutrition education. But
the school cannot do it without
the cooperation of the parents and
the community.
We can have costly school plants
and equipment, highly qualified
teachers, carefully selected teach
ing materials, methods, and tech
niques, and still not have a sue
cessful educational program so far
as the individual child is concern
ed. What happens to child de-
pends largely upon his or her
physical status. A child will prof

1870 of Federal Aid
Given To State In Cash

More than three fourths of the
federal school lunch appropriation
is granted to states in cash. These
funds can be used by schools for
the purchase of any food, and for
the most part these funds go into
the hands of merchants and busi-
nessmen in the vicinity of the par
ticipating schools. The remainder
of the appropriation is used by the
department to purchase foods con-
tanning elements commonly lack
ing in children's diets-mainly pro-
tein and vitamin c. These are not
price support or surplus removal
purchases.
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1952-02-15

1t is felt that this function is in
keeping with the Welfare Depart
ment's basic philosophy of assist
ing in a program that concerns
itself with the health and well be-
ing of its people.
Recognizing the scope and quail
ity of the program, the Welfare De-
partment of Ohio some time ago
created the Office of Commodity
Distribution for the sole purpose of
administering the Food Distribu-
ton Program.
The Office of Commodity Distri-
button assumes certain definite re-
sponsibilities, such as requesting
available foods in amounts which
will be beneficially utilized in its
more than $500 schools, institu-
tionS and child care centers hav-
ing a total of 554,216 persons par
ticipating in the meals served.
Additional responsibilities are
the receipt, handling, storage, al
location of the food to participants,
and the keeping of such records as
prescribed by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture.

Sanitation Plays
Part In Program

One of the most important OBJ
jectives of the school lunch pro-
gram is to make available to chill.
dren, at minimum cost, lunches
of maximum nutritive value, pre-.
pared under the most sanitary
conditions.
Modern equipment plays an inn
portant part in achieving this OBJ
jective.
The physical layouts of our cafe.
terias in new schools are planned
and equipped with the very latest
facilities.
Worn and obsolete equipment is
being replaced by new and the
latest efficient type of equipment
wherever possible.
A properly and well-equipped
kitchen is economical, for it helps
to cut costs greatly and to cut the
time limit on many functions and

To facilitate monthly pick-ups of
food by participants, the Office of
Commodity Distribution has estab-
lished distribution centers in ten
cities of Ohio, using both cold and
dry storage warehouses which will
preserve the quality and life of the
food received from the US. De-
partment of Agriculture.
Under a provision (Section 81 Of
the National School Lunch Act, the
u. S. Department of Agriculture
buys and donates to the Depart
ment of Welfare of Ohio, for dis
tribution through its Office of Com
modify Distribution, to schools cer-
titled to participate under the Ma
tional School Lunch Program, such
foods of high nutritive value as are
suitable for children's lunches.
The food items purchased under
this section during the current
year were canned beans (green),
cherries, peas, peaches, tomatoes,
tomato paste, peanut butter, dried
beans, dried prunes and processed
cheese.
In addition, the u. S. Department
of Agriculture donates to the De-
partment of Public Welfare of
Ohio, Office of Commodity Distri-
button, from time to time, foods
which are obtained under authority
of legislation aimed at widening
the market outlet for farm COM
modities.
These foods are distributed to
schools whether or not they partici-
pate in the National School Lunch
Program, also to child care centers
and institutions for patients who
are unable to pay the full charge
for services rendered.
During the current year, the fol-
lowing food items were distributed
to recipients in the above categor-
les: Fresh apples, dried eggs and
milk, canned honey and concen-
trated orange juice.

sThe foods in surplus do not de-
termine school lunch menus.
Lunches served must meet a pat
tern established by the Secretary
of Agriculture, which provides a
balanced, nutritious lunch. Only
about 16 per cent of the value of
all foods used by the schools in the
past two years was represented by
donated surplus commodities

receive a lunch at school each
school day.
Yes, the U. S. Department of
Agriculture officials was right
when he said more than six years
ago, "In the future, the school
lunch program is likely to be as
much a part of the American
school system as the playground or
the gymnasium.
Rising Costs
But beneath the enthusiasm
over the benefits of the school
lunch program, there are under
tones of anxiety. 81 don't know
how long we can keep our meals
at this low price"
Higher costs have made it nee
esSary to raise the cost of our
meals by five cents"
"Have you any suggestions?"
And from the administrative
point of view, nationally or in the
eleven Midwest states, the outlook
tends to underscore the anxieties
of the local school people. The
money appropriated by the Con.
gress for the school lunch pro.
gram is being divided among more
schools and is used to help feed
more pupils, and the overall oper
ating costs have increased during
the past year.
Is our school lunch program
going to suffer a setback? Ad

it more by the educational pro-
gram of the school if he is healthy
and well-nourished.
This is one of the most impor-
tant ohjectives of the school lunch
program, to help guide the child
and parents in the use of nutri-
tionaI knowledge to maintain an
adequate diet so that the energy
in pupils body may be one of
the most important factors in de-

lunch program is more than just
a feeding program.

Purpose Is UNCHANGED

The purpose of the national
school lunch program has not
changed in the Is years of federal
assistance. 1t has always been to
help provide a nutritious lunch
for children and to expand domes-
tic markets for agricultural food
commodities.

from teachers, school administra-
tors, school lunch supervisors, and
parents all over the Midwest pro-
duce an inner glow of gratifica-
ton. And just look at the way the
school lunch program has grown.
There were just under 100000
children a year ago, and more
than 8,500,000 in the past school
year. About one fourth of the
children in our nations schools
