Lunch Prices On Spot Three Middletown Cafeterias Lose State Aid
Ohio will halt state financial aid for lunch programs at Middletown High School and Roosevelt and McKinley junior highs this year due to a reduced federal appropriation. Prices won’t rise for at least two months while cafeterias operate on reduced funds. Miss Elizabeth Shearsley said the cut stems from a smaller U S Agriculture Department appropriation for 1953-54. Despite aid loss, surplus commodities flow continues. Milk prices rose, pushing lunch charges from five to six cents per half pint.
