to October 15, 1974, as "Johnny Horizon '76 Clean Up America Month." NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this nineteenth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-four and of the Independence of the United States of America, the one hundred ninety-ninth.

Proclamation 4316

September 26, 1974

National School Lunch Week, 1974 By the President

of the

United

States

of

America

A Proclamation Winston Churchill once said that the best investment any society can make is putting milk into babies. By the same token, providing nutritious lunches for millions of American school children is a concrete way of investing in our future well-being as a Nation. Only healthy, well-nourished students can realize their fullest mental and physical potential and transform equality of opportunity from an ideal into a reality. Those who work in school lunch programs around the country—volunteers and employees of the Federal, State and local governments which administer the National School Lunch Program are helping to realize this goal.
