HEALTH FILM NOW
AT THE COLONIAL

Edwin F. Joehrendt in the en-
ploy OF the United States govern
ment in the furtherance Of better
health" for the nation, is in the
city with the government film
"Open Your Eyes" now showing
at the Colonial theatre. The film
deals with the dangers that con-
front the young girl and young boy
and of the need of control on the
part Of the parents. The follow
ing endorsement of the film is CIV
en- by DR.. Albert n. Mueller:
Il heartily endorse the United
States public health service film
open Your Eyes now running at
the Colonial theatre. Its story
plainly illustrates what the reputa-
BILE physicians of today advocate,
the seriousness of diseases and
their consequences.
THE solution of this problem is
one of education and the sooner
these facts are impressed on the
public and needed, the sooner will
this scourge be controlled and
eradicated.
Every parent, as we'll as young
men and women, should by all
means see this film and profit there
by.
