SCHOOL WILL
TRAIN ASSESSORS
Alaska state assessors will at
tend a training school in An
chorage Oct. 18-23. John Mar
shall, local assessor, said this
week.
The school will train the
assessors in the use of a new
property appraisal manual pre
pared by the J. L. Jacobs Co.
of Chicago for Alaska assessors.
The purpose of the manual is
to standardize assessment pro
cedures throughout the state,
Marshall said, making possible
an equitable distribution of
state aid monies for school sup
port.
Marshall added that it is
much too late in the season to
use the new manual for 1964
valuations, which must be com
pleted shortly after the first of
the year. He stated, however,
that he would soon ask the Pal
mer city council and the school
board to approve its use for
1965 values.
The assessor said he does not
anticipate that use of the new
manual will result in any sub
stantial change in building
assessment values either up or
down, as he feels that building
assessed values generally are
about as high as they should
|go.

PALMER, ALASKA
Governor Proclaims
School Lunch Week
William A. Egan, Governor
of Alaska has proclaimed Oct.
13 through Oct. 19, 1963, as Al
aska School Lunch Week. Re
cognizing the importance of the
school lunch program as an ef
fective aid in protecting the
health and wellbeing of school
children, the governor urged
all citizens, especially parents
of school children, to take ad
vantage of this week to learn
more about the school lunch
program, and to observe the
week with appropriate cere
monies and activities as a
means of studying further the
values and needs of this pro
gram.
State educational agencies
are responsible for administer
ing the program in the states,
while direct management of
the lunchrooms is assumed by
local school systems. In each
participating school the lunch
program is operated on a non
profit basis, lunches are served
free or at reduced prices to
children who cannot pay the
full price, and lunches are
planned according to a basic
type A pattern. This includes a
protien - rich food, fruits or
vegetables, bread, butter or
margarine, and milk.
Most of the financial sup
port for the school lunch pro
gram comes from state and lo
cal communities which pro
vided approximately $960 mil
lion of the program cost last
year. Children themselves paid
more than half this total. In
addition, local school lunch op
erations received some $109
million in cash assistance and
$175 million worth of foods
donated by the federal govern
ment.
There are a number of bene
fits provided by the school
lunch program. The noontime
meals not only provide chil
dren wholesome and low-cost
nourishment, but also help the
youngsters develop sound food
habits.
The school lunch program
serves the nation as a solid and
secure investment in its future
by safeguarding the health and
wellbeing of today’s children
who will become tomorrow’s
citizens. This program also
helps to expand markets for
America’s abundant farm pro
ducts.
Ninety-six schools in Alaska
serve nutritious lunches daily
to more than 11,000 elementary
and high school pupils, accord
ing to Mrs. Marge Dawes, co
ordinator of school lunch ser
vices for the state department
of education. Proof of the wide
spread acceptance of the pro
gram in Alaska is revealed by
the nearly 800 per cent increase
in participation during the last
decade. In 1952 - 53, 262,917
meals were served, with the
number increasing to 2,017,673
in 1962-63.
The serving of food at school
has been known in this coun
try and abroad for many years.
The recognition of the need for
the school lunch has come dur
ing or after war years. About
the middle of the Nineteenth
Century, semi-official societies
composed of interested parents,
teachers, and town employees
were formed in a number of
European countries for the pur
pose of encouraging school at
tendance. One of the usual
means adopted was the provi
sion of meals, free, or at actual
cost. France was one of the
early countries to encourage
the school canteen. The city of
Angers started serving noon
meals in 1871 in the public
schools at an equivalent of two
cents per meal.
In London, in 1909, the chil
dren were divided into two
classes, the paying and the
non-paying. A 2-pence dinner
was provided for both classes,
but the meal for the non-pay
ing group was prepared by the
cookery classes and served by
the caretaker and his assist
ants, while the dinner for the
paying group was prepared by
a staff of regular employees.
Mrs. Ellen H. Richards, one
of the pioneers in the American
home economics movement in
this country is credited with
starting school feeding in Bos
ton in 1894.
The aim of the school lunch
program is to serve nutritious
meals at a price that all stu
dents can afford, but it is not
simple to work out the policy
under which the lunch pro
gram operates.
There are many influences
which will affect this total par
ticipation in the lunch pro
gram. More students take ad
vantage of the lunch program
if the school day is long and
if many of them come to school
on buses. Many schools on a
one-session schedule do not al
low students to go home for
lunch. This is due to the rela
tively short time that is avail
able for the lunch period.
The Alaska School Lunch
Week is aimed at showing how
the program serves the State
and the Nation by safeguarding
the health and wellbeing of the
citizens of tomorrow.
