“In addition to the standard vehi-

Code provides for a number of
special plates, including plates for
totally disabled veterans, ex-prison-
ers of war and Medal of Honor
recipients,”’ Hasay said. “I believe
that at this time, when the feeling of
patriotism is running high in this
country, we should honor those who
received this special award for
bravery.”
The Purple Heart is awarded to
individuals wounded in service.
Hasay was instrumental in pass-
ing legislation to allow former pris-
oners of war to receive specially-
designed plates.

STUDENTS AT DALLAS ELE-
MENTARY KINDERGARTEN
recently completed a most educa-
tional project. The students had to
color pictures of foods from the
major food groups; milk and dairy
products, grains and cereals, fruits
and vegetables and meat and poul-
try. These pictures were then used
to make a colorful placemat that
allows them to pick out the foods
they are eating from each group.
The children also had to keep break-
fast, lunch and dinner menus; these
were placed on teh back of the
placemat.
I was very
impressed with
this project.
Nutrition is so
important to good
health. Isn’t it
wonderful that
these children
are learning
about good nutri-
tion at such an
early age.
Many thanks to
