Back-to-School Physicals The City of St. Louis Division of Health recommends school physicals for children entering kindergarten, 4th, 8th, and 11th grades.
The Missouri State High School Athletic Association requires that high school students participating in sports have physicals each year. People’s Clinic, 5701 Delmar, is offering school physicals for a minimal fee until Sept. 16, 1983.
The physicals include lab work, anemia screening, lead screening, uranalysis, vision and hearing screenings and immunizations. Call the clinic at 367-7848 for information regarding the special rate and/or an appointment.
If you cannot afford even a minimal fee, contact the City Health Division, 658-1123, for information about free physicals. Stretching Your Food Budget Meatless dishes stretch your food budget and provide a wholesome alternative to meat protein.
Look through cookbooks for meatless dishes suitable for you and your family. Kingsbury Kiosk, our new library facility on the corner of Kingsbury and Des Peres, has a fine collection of cookbooks. Vegetarian Dishes From Around the World, Elliot, is an excellent source of simply written, non-exotic dishes.
If you think vegetarian cooking is synonymous with bean curd you’re in for a pleasant surprise.
At any rate, do stop in and browse. Bring the kids—the children’s book section is superb. Purchase meat in bulk, provided you have freezer space.
The cost per pound is much less than what you pay per item.
There are many places which provide bulk meat service. Shoes Aunts and Uncles, a not-for-profit organization which provides shoes for St. Louis children, has authorized CAO to refer families to their agency.
If you need and cannot afford shoes for your children, come to the CAO office at 6008 Kingsbury Tuesday from 9 to 12 noon or Thursday from 1 to 3 p.m. Aunts and Uncles requires a $5 service fee per family to help defray operating expenses.
The shoes are free. Volunteer! CAO is in need of volunteers.
