“OSLO” LUNCHES

PLAN FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN (Times Air Mail Sendee) SYDNEY, March 19 “Oslo” lunches, costing 4d each and distributed daily ,are expected to add in three months an average of 31b in weight of 25 under-nourished pupils of Camperdown Public School. “Oslo” lunches, introduced by Professor Sciotz in Oslo, Norway, in 1932, became standard at schools throughout Norway. A voluntary group of women began distribution of the lunches at Camperdown School this week. Each child receives:— An orange, an apple, three wrapped slices of wholemeal bread (sandwiching butter, processed Cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, and sliced carot), and half a pint of milk. After three months, progress of the 25 “test” children eating “Oslo” lunches will be compared with that of a “control” group of 25 children, who will continue having their usual lunches. 57 More Arranged Interest in the experiment has already caused parents to arrange for 57 other Camperdown school children to receive “Oslo” lunches daily. Actual cost of the lunches is s£d each, but this has been reduced by gifts of milk and bread. The N.S.W. Eat More Fruit Committee intends to provide free fruit for the lunches. The headmaster (Mr H. Thompson) appealed yesterday for an icechest or refrigerator to store the lunches at Camperdown school. Under-nourished children of Collingwood Public School, Melbourne, have gained an average of about 3ilb after having “Oslo” lunches daily for three months.

Little cigars for ladies! From London it is reported that tiny havanas, about the size of a cigarette, are being introduced in the hope that they may tempt lady smokers. Well, well ! and there was a time when ladies simply abominated smoking in every shape or form ! That, however, is another story, as Kipling would say. But cigars, little or large, will never supplant cigarettes with lady devotees of the weed—especially in New Zealand, where cigarettes of Riverhead Gold (the finest cigarette tobacco as yet manufactured) are so tremendously popular with smokers of both sexes. “Riverhead,” as everyone knows, is one of the famous toasted brands and there is another toasted cigarette tobacco of surpassing merit—Desert Gold; also three pipe blends, Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead); Cavendish, and Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog). Largely free of nicotine. owing to toasting, all five brands are of the choicest quality and so comi arativelv harmless that they may be indulged in with perfect safety, even to excess. But have a care when buying. The tobaccos named are the only genuine “toasted.”
