PAGE § continued from Page 1 To make lunches more appealing Mary has made a survey of what meals are purchased most often then placed these meals on the menu at least twice each month. Specials such as a Mother’s Day lunch, vited to eat a regular lunch with their children, holiday lunches, Cookie Monster Week contests and rainbow lunches have been initiated by ARA. Reichstetter pointed out that ARA saves the dis- trict some money since it purchases in bulk at lower vice’s many operations throughout the country. ARA is paid to handle all payroll and bill paying and certain food service techniques are used for kitchen efficiency. In spite of the con- tinuous cafeteria loss over the past years, Reich- stetter believes that if it weren’t for the Omnibus Reconciliation Act, lunch prices increases would not have been needed. J ELEMENTARY MOT- HERS By Jessie Morgan Are the higher prices killing the school lunch program? It appears as if this might be the- case. Speaking with a group of mothers who had: just completed a special Mother’s Day luncheon with their children at the Dallas Township Elementary School, it was evident that many children no longer make use of the cafeteria program offered by the For Reservations *NOVASCOTIA © OTTAWA VISA esierd 7p I [Tr 829-6999 : school, but have started to “brown bag” it instead. In a few cases the choice was made because of individual taste preferences, but many of the mothers expressed concern that the cost of sending three or more children to school each day with lunch money was just too high. “I don’t know how the average person can afford it,” said Sharon Walters. Mrs. Walters has two children in the school district. The price of a lunch for an elementary child is 80 , cents while older children pay 85 cents. A special lunch discount is given to families of low income but in the case of Dallas School District, there are not enough needy people to drop the price for most families who are deserving of the price cut was adjusted so that the families of lower income pay more for lunches along . with everyone else. Another mother spoke of the price hikes during the past year as an inevitable consequence of the general economy. “Everything else is going up,” said Mrs. Dzanko, mother of Mike and Tammy Dzanko. I guess lunches have to go up too.” Although money wasn’t on the mind of Billy Sarley’s mother, general nutrition was. “Billy likes the fact that he may substitute things in the meal and I like the fact that the lunches are so good for him.” she said.

This service has public relations program. The school’s own food program was much better than either of the two food service companies. The pizza is horrible-it isn’t fresh. They could use a new supplier. The pizza we had two years ago was much better. All the variety is the same food packed differently or with something added,” said a third member. “They say they give us a variety,” said another.

That’s excellent and you can serve yourself. The rainbow lunches they talk about is just a public relations gimmick. The high school students know what they want to eat and “gimmicks” won’t make them eat something they don’t want. Fewer students are buying their lunches.
