73 <br /> cover increasing food bills. School -Department funds <br /> paid half the milk bill. With an average of 40 pupils <br /> paying 75c each a week, there is available $30.00. The <br /> government subsidy of 40c a child gives another $16.00. <br /> This is, of course, only when school keeps all five days <br /> in the week. Labor costs $20.00 a week. This leaves <br /> 13c for each child to furnish him with a meal that will <br /> meet one-third of his nutritional needs for the day. <br /> One perceives from these statistics that it is very im- <br /> portant to have as many children as possible eat in the <br /> cafeteria. Otherwise the program will have to stop. <br /> All parents are urged to try to have their children eat <br /> in the cafeteria, for they get a delicious, substantial <br /> meal at a price that is more economical than feeding <br /> the children at home. A typical week's menus follow: <br /> Monday: hamburg cakes, mashed potato, creamed <br /> carrots, bread and butter, gelatine, milk <br /> Tuesday: macaroni and cheese, escalloped tomato, <br /> peanut butter, bread, chocolate pudding, <br /> milk <br /> Wednesday: corned beef hash, corn souffle, cranberry <br /> sauce on bread, cake, milk <br /> Thursday: baked beans and pork, vegetable salad, <br /> corn bread and butter, applesauce, milk <br /> Friday: orange juice, baked fish, escalloped potato, <br /> green beans, cranberry sauce on bread, <br /> gingerbread with cheese wedge, milk <br /> Generous portions, with second helpings for the big <br /> eaters, give pep and energy for afternoon lessons. We <br /> are disturbed by the children who do not go home to <br /> lunch nor do they apparently bring any sandwiches. <br /> However, they do seem to have spending money for <br /> candy and popcorn.
