_ Parenis who can‘t afford milk should use powder product lnere is concern that in the face| of frising prices Studies in recent ‘years of the eating habits of school children show that many do not consume the amounts recommended for maintenance of health. While milk is recognized as an important source of protein, calcium, Vitam A and riboflavin, its prime importance in the Canadian diet lies in its contribution of calcium and riboflavin.

During the last summer, a pilot project was started in George Vanier school, North York. A youth club was formed to try and offer a place to the young people in the district to while away the hours, with playing cards, dances, and whatever pleased them. Open during. the afternoon and evening, this was a limited success.
