Milford students getting around The Milford Career Awareness class, taught by Joan Folk, recently toured the regional post office in South Bend. Prior to their visit the students had studied job qualifications for different post office jobs and had taken a sample postal exam. Regina Davenport, temporary Milford Post Office officer in charge, had also spoken to the group about how to apply for a postal job and where and when available job information would be posted. While in South Bend the class also toured the Century Center Museum. The students learned ways people have worked from the one-man operations of handmade products to huge manufacturing of mass-produced goods on assembly lines. They saw a display of the story of the rise and fall of the Studebaker Corporation. The students were challenged as to where they will fit into “The world of work” in the future. The second grade class of Mrs. Hand recently visited the mint*' processing farm of Mr. and Mrs. John Borntrager, near Milford. Borntrager explained to the children that each leaf has a small oil pocket on the underneath side and the students saw the large wagons loaded with the cut, dry plants. Some wagon loads were being steamed. The steam is piped into a tank where it is cooled and changed back to liquid. The process then separates the water from the mint oil. The visitors were surprised at the strong mint odor. They enjoyed tasting the mint tea and were each given a sack of mint flavored treats. New warning The Senate and House approval recently to a bill that would replace the general health warning on cigarettes with four alternating warnings about the specific dangers associated with smoking.

Schools to celebrate heritage

Every year the public schools across America participate in a special event, National School Lunch Week. This year that week starts Sunday, October 13 and continues through Saturday, Oct. 19. Following the theme “Salute to Freedom,” school children will be served meals during this week that contain the wide variety of foods grown across the U.S. and that reflect the history of four regions of the country.. Planned for the first four days of the school week are four menus that include students’ favorites from the West, the Midwest, the South and the East. On Friday, each school district will serve its favorite menu during a “Freedom of Choice” day. This menu may include foods grown by local farmers or heritage foods from the region. These four regional menus were planned by the members of the Nutrition Standards/Nutrition Education Committee of the American School Food Service Association. This organization has nearly 55,000 members nationally who are the professionals who manage and operate the foodservice programs in more than 15,000 school districts across the country. The menus meet the nutritional guidelines established by the United States Department of Agriculture, USDA, for school lunch programs. USDA has been providing either surplus farm goods or monies to the nation’s schools for lunch programs since 1946 when the National School Lunch Act was first passed. In the past 20 years, members of ASFSA in cooperation with USDA have beei. introducing nutrition education courses into schools. In addition, local school districts have featured events in their lunchrooms that have made students more aware of what kinds of meals they should eat each day for proper growth and lasting good health. Favorite foods of all the 24 million students who will participate in this celebration October 13-19 have been included on these menus. Proven winners on lunch trays are the many canned and fresh fruits that will perk up both appetites and appearances. Cling peaches, for example, are one of

students’ favorites all over the country. THis is the reason that one of the largest purchases by USDA for use in school programs is cling peaches, and one of the reasons that these peaches appear in almost every menu. Today’s schools are offering a wide variety of America’s agricultural bounty at the lowest price around. The result is that America’s students are better fed than ever and that they are learning how to choose wisely what foods will guarantee them healthy bodies and minds. And that’s what National School Lunch Week is all about, it is a time to emphasize to students, parents and the com-
