interesting and great good has beer
done in the corrections of health de

would have been a close race. But

buttons to those refusing to be vac.
cinated.
The reward of this contest is a
beautiful American flag. fringed in
gold with large gold star in the
field. the gold star being the one
received opposite the name of the
child receiving the button. A small
lapel of blue. with Health Ban

top of the flag. The banner will
belong to the unit of the county and
each year a contest will be given.

to enter the contest. Each year the
lapel may be changed. In this way
we may keep the banner from year
to year. The banner will be given
by the Bureau of Child Welfare.
