Price Jumps From 23 To 33 Cents
Indianapolis school children today were. charged an extra 10 cents a week for milk.
As a result, the weekly price of milk was boosted from 23 to 33 cents. In Indianapolis, 48 grade schools participate in {this federal milk program. More than 7800 students are affected. The milk price raise vas caused by a miscalculation in tha state office of Supt. of Public |Instruction Wilbur Young. The state ran out of federal funds, with three months left in the |present term. { The federal government cons itributes 2 cents for each bottle lof milk bought by a pupil in school. Now this sum has been temporarily cut off for three months, Pupils who desire milk
