US SMALL TOWNERS GET TOGETHER
The Stuart Daily News, of Stuart, Martin Coun
ty, Florida, comes to our desk with a front page edit
orial entitled, “A Distinction for Stuart and the Daily
News,” in which the proud declaration is made that
Stuart is the smallest community in the continental
United States that supports a daily newspaper. “This
is an unusual distinction, and speaks very highly,” con
tinues the editor, “for the loyalty of the people of this
city and the surrounding trade territory.
“For three months we have been compiling infor
mation about the small dailies of the United States, to
ascertain what right we had to make the assertion that
Stuart 4s the smallest community in this country that
has a daily paper. Stuart has a population, according
to the 1930 census, of 2,004.” After pointing out that
the Corning, California, Observer is his nearest rival
in the States, the editor continues:
“We are frank to state that Stuart is beaten if we
go outside of the 48 states, for the town of Seward,
Alaska, has a populaion of only 826, and the Seward
Daily Gateway, is very proud of its distinction of being
published in probably the world’s smallest daily town.”
Well, we are proud of it, for our people and our
paper, and so we shake hands with Mr. Edwin A. Men
ninger, way down there at the other corner of Uncle
Sam's possessions, on his paper and his pride in it.
AIDING THE SCHOOL CHILD
Within the last few years more than one-half of
the states have enacted laws which in one way or anoth
er are designed to promote the health and physical saf
ety of school children. Besides the efforts being made
in behalf of children as a result of legislation, much is
being done in the same direction by school authorities
in states and territories where no special laws on the
subject exist. Superintendents, home economics teach
ers, school physicians and physical training depart
ments all contribute to the movement for child wel
fare.
One phase of this movement which has been given
increasing attention of late is instruction in matters of
diet. In this, a proper balancing of essential food ele
ments and the selection of easily digestible foods pre
sent the main problems.
The movement for safeguarding the health of our
school children is one of utmost importance. Parents
should cooperate with medical and school authorities
in adopting measures which experience has shown to be
beneficial to their growing boys and girls.
National defense advocates believe that prepara
tions are less expensive than reparations.
Observance of all the health rules would probably
cause us to live longer than we can afford.
