'Breakfast programs in city public schools
By the time the 1977-78 academic school year has ended for at least 75,000 students in the Indianapolis Public School System, officials of the IPS Food Service have indicated the popular “breakfast programs" will have expanded to just about all the elementary schools in the IPS system’s district. Most secondary school in the city now provide the morning eating services. Last year, the Indianapolis board of School Commissioners asked the Food Service to provide the early morning m£als--a spin-off from what many believed to have been a successful hot lunch program widely practiced in recent yejars. “Many students, regardless of their socio-economic backgrounds, arrive at school withNot the first Mrs. Lillian Stevenson was not the first black elected to the presidency of Wishard School of Nursing’s Alumni Association as was reported in a feature appearing in the Dec. 3 Recorder. The first black to be elected to the post was Mrs. Willa Mae Brooks, earlier this decade. The Recorder regrets the error.
out an adequate breakfast,” acknowledged Food Service director Joseph H. Frazee. He continued, “there are some health studies which have shown that a student who has eaten a proper breakfast is more attentative in class and has a better tendency to learn.” Frazee, along with other staffers of the Food Service division expressed their feelings late last year of how the current breakfast program compares to the hot-lunch program that has been serving elementary pupils (throughout the country) for the last few years. “We at the IPS Food Servi ces have a business back ground -thus will strive to use our accumulative knowledge of sound business practices and fiscal responsibilities to operate these programs with maximum efficiency and minimum expen-ditures-related to varying food cost,” acknowledged a spokesman for the service. When school opened last Fall, the breakfast programs were initiated in 29 elementary and 11 high schools in the IPS system. Now there is said to be nearly 100 schools in the Indianapolis Public School district that have “breakfast programs” in their schools.

Honoring an annual tradi tion, President Jimmy Carter has proclaimed January af March of Dimes Birth Defects Prevention Month. National observance of this will serve the needs of our country’s most precious natural resource -our children. “Our stake in birth defects prevention is high," says Tom Dwyer, Central Indiana March of Dimes Chapter Chairman. “It means the future of our children, our children’s children and ultimately, our nation.” According to the March of Dimes spokesman, birth defects are the most serious child health problem in America today. Each year a quarter million Americans are born with physical or mental handicaps. One child every two minutes. Across the country the March of Dimes is working to give every newborn the optimum chance for a healthy start in life. The Federal Govern ment is deeply concerned with improving the quality of maternal and infant care throughout the country.

Robert A. Warren of the Marion County Sheriffs Department received the Distinguished Service Award. Sgt.

Robert Kennedy, Director of the Indianapolis Department of Metorpolitan Development, was presented the Good Government Award. Kennedy was cited for his efforts to revitalize the center city through such projects as the beautification of Monument Circle, the development of the Indiana Avenue corridor, and the establishment of inner city industrial parks. Dr. William W. Neher. Dean of the University College of Butler University, was given the Outstanding Young Educator Award. Dr. Neher, also an

He explained the the Indiana Supreme Court had reversed several judgements by the Indiana Courts of Appeals, which had decided against several of his lower court decisions. Jacobs was U.S. represent a tive in the 11th District for a single session from 1948 to 1950.

The Citizens Action Coali tion, a statewide public interest group, announced this morning that they are intervening against the proposed rate hike of the Indianapolis Power & Light Company (IPALCO). Janelle Cousino, state chairperson of the group, said that CAC "wants to start the new year off right”, and so “is pledging itself to fight for IPALCO’s customers, to see that our bills don’t go up again
in 1978."
“IPALCO wants us to pay for their waste and mistakes," Ms. Cousino said, “and we won’t have it. The law very clearly says that consumers should pay fcn only for utility expenditures k [ that are ‘used and useful’--yet fi j IPALCO continues to build ^ I
