Nixon Announces Free and Reduced Lunch Plan
President Nixon signed a bill to guarantee free or reduced price school lunches for children from families under the poverty line. The measure would add about eight million students to the program, with costs up to 20 cents per meal or free, and it authorizes an experimental school breakfast program. The open-ended bill would rely on future appropriations, with current lunch spending around 400 million dollars and an estimated 220 million more needed for authorizations. The article also notes the founding of the First Baptist Church in 1638 by Roger Williams in Rhode Island.
