up the following requirements:
6 pints of whole milk
2 ounces of a protein rich food
cups of 2 or more vegetables
or fruit
1 slice of enriched bread or
the equivalent
teaspoons Of butter
The school lunch room is lab
Oratory where good food habits
can be established, new foods in
troduced and tasted, and table ETH

Be An Individual
Says Designer

NEW YORK (AP)-Jean Louis
is handsome couture designer
who knows so much about
women's figures he feels protect
i've.
He designs for some of the
worlds most elegant women, but
he believes that the first step in
becoming well dressed is to be an
individual. Wear what you look
best in" he insists.
"You shouldn't try to copy
fashions you see a favorite actress
wear. 1t isn't designed for you
and if you feel embarrassed in
your clothes you can't look good
in them.
You can't copy anyone else and
be a star-and that goes for all
women, not just actresses"
Jean Louis has had years of ex-
perience with movie stars-for 16
years he has outfitted most of the
important stars; his. latest is Mari
lyn Monroe in "The Misfits"
Before that he was a mainstay
of Hattie Carnegie in New York,
where his first customer was
Irene Dunno. When Hollywood
hired him to help bring fashion
elegance to the screen, his first
star was Irene Dunno.
Marlene Dietrich is also one of
his special pets, and his trans
parent dresses for her (''they
don't really show anything') have
made International news.
Now he designs two lines a year
for Ben Reig one of New York's
couture houses.
Jean Louis is strong for hats.
Men like them" he says. "You
can always catch a mans eye
with a hat. In the '30s everyone
wore hats; then there was bare
headed period. Now they're COM
ing back, because women realize
