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.

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

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.

Karen Reabuck,
‘treasurer, made some
comment.
“In some respects this
year’s food service is
doing a better job. There’s
more variety but the
quality of food is the same
as last year. It’s alright
for institutional food,”
said one. ;
“The students have
been willing to give ARA a
chance. The attitude is
better on both sides. Mary
tries to be cooperative but
the food is about the
same,’ said another
officer.

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

much starch.”
“The only good thing
they serve is the salad.
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

All agreed students
would prefer more soup,
better and fresher pizza,
more juice, variety of raw

canned, and a la“ cart

“If the district would
combine the food served
by Mrs. Prynn two years

publi¢ relations program,
the cafeteria program
would be excellent,” was
the general concensus
ofthe student council.
