School Chief Compromises on Proposed Ban on Soft Drinks
The sale of carbonated beverages in Los Angeles city school cafeterias would be banned under a recommendation from Superintendent William J. Johnston. “We would not, however, ban the sale of candy and soft drinks in the student stores."
Johnston’s recommendation, which came to the student life committee of the Board of Education, is a compromise over that of the board-appointed, board-based citizens’ committee which recommended in June that candy and soft drinks not be sold at any district school.
