Kids protest plastic utensils, get wish
GREENFIELD, Mass. — A restaurateur came to the rescue of fifth-graders fed up with eating with plastic forks and spoons by donating 300 stainless steel place-setings yesterday to end protests at the elementary school.
"I wanted the kids to know that if you speak up about something you consider is wrong and it makes enough sense, sometimes someone out there will listen," said William A. Sandri, who graduated from the school 30 years ago.
Sandri announced his gift to 250 cheering children seated on the floor of the Four Corners Elementary School auditorium.
"Mr. Sandri is giving us just enough, so if any of it ends up in the classroom, guess what happens?" Principal Mary Ann Clarkson asked the children.
Nearly every hand shot up to let her know the students were aware of a potential return to plastic
More than half the lunch-eating population at the 316-student school signed petitions a few weeks ago
asking that the school return the stainless steel utensils that had gone to the high school.
Food Services Director Sandra Herzig said she made the switch to plastic, reusable forks and spoons in every elementary school in the western Massachusetts town because a quarter of the metal flatware ended up in the trash every year and the plastic utensils were cheaper.

Praying dolls draw mixed reviews
The Associated Press
"Our studies have shown that Americans are turning increasingly to religion and traditional values." David Mauer, president of the company's Kenner division, said in a recent telephone interview.
BOSTON — A new line of dolls which kneel and clasp their hands in a gesture of prayer has drawn mixed reactions from some groups that worry that the saucer-eyed figures could inadvertently trivialize religion.
"When we talked to mothers, they told us they like to see toys that help a child develop faith and tradition, and teach them how to develop faith and tradition," he said.
Kenner Parker Toys Inc., says it is marketing the cherubic, 15-inch dolls under the name Special Blessings to capitalize on a growing national interest in traditional values. The dolls will be available on store shelves next month for about $20.
Store orders were brisk for the dolls, named Abigail, Angela, Christina and Matthew Blessing, said Dick Ostrander, the company's sales man.
ager for New England. Angela is black and the other dolls are white
Principal Clarkson, however, warned the youngsters that the next protest may not be so easy.
Spokesmen for some other religious groups said they saw no harm in such dolls, and others praised the idea. But several expressed worries.
"I think it might be wonderful to have a doll that portrays one of the noblest functions of human beings, not killing each other like soldier dolls, but praying," said spokesman Robert P. Dugan of the National Organization of Evangelicals, which represents 70 denominations.
"It's better than even the old, silverware," said Steven Berson, 101. "We didn't have knives before."
