MILK DECREED
FOR CHILDREN
OF FRANCE
To Replace Wine In
Kids Lunch
Pail
CHATELEf-EN FRANCE, Dec.
8. UP — Premier Pierre Mendes—
1. France revolutionized the habits
of hundred generations of French
school children here Wednesday.
He’s making them drink milk.
They’re not expected to like it,
but the milk-loving premier has
added cookies and fruit In hopes
the children will find milk more
palatable than the wine they have
drunk almost since birth.
Mendes-Fcance, known through-
oat France now as "a man of
milk and iron,” chose this village
of 864 to launch a school milk pro-
. gram he hopes will extend to every
primary school in France.
It was the latest stop in his cam-
paign against alcohol in this wine-
loving country where small child-
ren take wine to school with them
and where 15,687 persons died last
year of alcoholism and cirrhosis
of the liver.
The premier announced his pro-
gram to make FrfUtee like milk a
month ago when he returned from
a lour of the Belgian border. France
regarded his campaign with good
natured humor and went on drink-
ing as much wine as ever.
Then he began his program of
get-’em-young and the school chil-
dren campaign was bom. Every
morning from Wednesday on each
school child here will receive half
a pint of milk, slightly sugared to
kill the taste.
The determined program to
make milk lovers out of the little
tipplers also had another reason.
Franca has a big surplus of dairy
products it finds difficult to ex-
•■port and this village is in the cen-
ter of the famed Brie cheose cen-
ter.
Dolling up Santa Claus for his Christmas duties is fun for Pat Rogers.
Her hubby built the jolly old fellow out of Masonite Vi’ Tempered
Presdwood, an all-weather material handled by lumber dealers. Santa’s
gay costume is the same paper pattern the handyman used in cutting out
the figure with a jig-saw. It was attached with waterproof glue. Pafa
brushing on a coat of clear aealer to protect the colorful paper from th«
weather. This five-foot-five Santa it attached to a block of wood and a
supporting stick. He may be used indoors or out, and will last for years.
