UNION ORDERS ORCHESTRA
 TO LEAVE STRAND THEATRE

The Strand theatre is without an archestra owing to difficulties with the musicians union arising out of MT. Davidson's refusing to hire Frank Benson who has been leader of the orchestra, after Mr.. Benson had given his notice to Manager Davidson.
 MT. Davidson stated on Wednesday evening that he felt as though he was being unjustly treated by the union inasmuch as he considered he had a right to hire or discharge a man at any time providing he gave him proper notice. MT. Davidson said that MT. Benson had served notice upon him three weeks ago after MT. Davidson had made some suggestions about MT. Benson's way of conducting the or chestra, at hich MT. Benson took of fense. 1
 MT. Benson worked out his notice and was paid in full for his services on last Wednesday but on the follow ing day he appeared again at the thea tre and told MT. Davidson he was going to work there as the union had said that he must. MT. Davidson told him | that he would not take him back and | that he had hired someone else to lead the orchestra. MT. Benson immediate | ly took the matter up with several members of the musicians union witt | the result that the union ordered the other members of the orchestra tc leave the theatre on Friday. MT. Day. ] idson immediately secured a make. shift orchestra but says the union in- timidated these players so that they were obliged to leave. This action o. the union leaves MT. Davidson with. out an orchestra unless he agrees tC do as the union dictates and MT. Day.
 idson stated that he would not employ any man whom he considered was no
 capable of giving the service that wa:
 necessary.
 The union held meeting on Wed
 nesday evening to consider the matte
 but nothing that was done at the meet ing was given out. Several of tn
 members of the union stated on Wed
 nesday evening that they thought tha MT. Davidson was not receiving square deal and that the action of tn union was not the will of all the mem berS.

DESCRIBES HEALTH WORK IN CITY

need of dental clinic, child welfare or ganization and of more nurses to carry on this work
 During this past fGe months since Miss Wilson has been working in the schools We have been able to make a special sur vey for defective teeth. This report again strongly suggests the need of some dental work and emphasizes what in- struction in dental hygiene may accom- plish.
 Miss Wilson also has a report on the weighing and measuring oG school chill dren, which has been done, as far as time has permitted, The result of this work. also strongly suggests the need of some nutrition work.
 Corrections from the beginning of the work in 1916 to the present time number | about thousand (s96). This does not | include the report on teeth of the present year.
 Corrections have been for defective vision 303, tonsil and adenoid operations 2lS, operations for other conditions 13, | other corrections 50, teeth to year end l Q91s) 369

 | At the present time the whole country I is active in promoting the health and well 1 fare of children
 Some of the greatest educators are giv- I ing their attention to the problem of bringing up the school child to the high i es tstandard of physical efficiency. l It is needless to say that here in our | own town the value of the work is being
 realized every day. However, it cannot De expected that this branch of public | health work can obtain the splendid re- suits within its reach without the CO.,
 operation not only of all individuals but or all organizations that may be natural
 " or by persuasion interested in the well fare of children
 I There is abundant work to be done if
 we are to carry out the health program with thoroughness.
