HEALTH EDUCATION AT SC"rOCIB
Despite disagreeable weather on
the date set for physical examina
tions, 35 children reported at Dr.
AlbrechtTs office. This shews a
proper interest by the parents in
our program of health education.
On another day 40 children were
examined at the V'asilla school,
where, through the courtesy of the
corporation, resident children
whose families are in no way con
nected with the colonisation pro
ject also came under Dr. Albrecht’s
observation. Miss Roger, Juanita
Hurd, Mary Brown and Elizabeth
Oberg assisted in the recording of
results.
Ho serious conditions were un
covered, though it was found that
a number of the children were ai
flieted with enlarged tonsils.
This program health control
was organized by Madeleine de Boras
who came north with the colony as
Red Cross Public Health Purse.
Once weekly Miss de i^ras visits
the schools at ’’asilla and Matan
uska as a precautionary measure
against any contagious illness or
infectious skin condition getting
a start without being noticed by
those not trained in the work,
physical inspections for all grades
are held each week by the teachers.
This is good health education
and should havo the support of ell
parents

IT "r0 T ' TTTT A r JILL - GTT BUSY
The three colonists upon whose
tracts Forrest Kelso moved his
well rigs this week are mighty
lucky that he didn’t just move
right on by and set up where pre
parations had been made.
In spite of the two recently
published instructions to have a
space 16 feet square leveled off
and' to have a hole 5 feet square
down to a depth of 6 feet, he
found nothing done at any of the
three places.
Now this is a tip, fellows. Get
your v.'pll site in share. You may
be next on the list, and if Kelso
runs into a condition where he ha

he -dll move right on to the next
tract to he drilled.
And there is nothing unfair
about that. Plenty of v.’arning has
been given previously. This is
the last.
Either ignorance of how to
handle a gun or cruel malicious
ness must be behind the painful
wounding of a cow belonging to 1-Tr
Y,1 .Pnodfrass a feVT days ago.
The animal, which had never
been cut of the field, received a
number of bird shot in the udder.
