George Some
Catcher

From the pitching peak TO
backstopping is nothing new i'm
baseball. but IL sure is unusual.
George Tinsman, who has
starred ON the mound for sew
eral local mines and last season
was Richardson Parks best bet
on the hill, is developing into
catcher of better than ordinary
ability for Five Points, i'm the
Suburban League this year, and
IL looks as If ne will hold down
the backstopping berth regu-
larly.
George started out as a pitcher
again this season and still re-
tains his twirling skin. Going
behind the bat i'm workouts he
displayed that he is capable of
holding down the catching sta
ton.
It's a strange occurrence. but
George may be called upon TO
drop his mask and windpad TO
assume the pitching peak if his
battery mate goes bad at any
time.

a resolution was introduced and re-
ceived the first and second readings,

city. This resolution requires not
only the licensing Of the contractors
but they must take out permits for
the work and submit plans and

well as estimate OF the time required
to do the work. These permits will
cost 25 cents. Each contractor is
compelled to put up a sum Of money
to insure the work being done ac-
cording TO specifications.
The resolution is the result OF the
department receiving so many com
plants concerning sidewalk work,
which after being placed has needed
repairing or reconstruction within a
few months after completion. As
the department requires all property
owners TO provide safe and adequate
sidewalks. along the entire property

medical CARE
FOR CHILDREN
u. S. Public Health Expert
Suggests Paid Body to
Work in Schools
MORE NURSES
ARE NEEDED

Formation OF permanent State
paid organization TO look after the
bodily health OF school children OF
Delaware is urged by DR. Gilbert J.
osinoup. Of the United States Pub
lie Health Service, who has been
making a medical examination OF
public schoo; pupils.
Doctor osincup's views are con-
tanned in a report he has made 10
the State Board Of Education
OF 5000 children examined 80 far,
according to the report, over 80 per
cent have been found TO be suffering
from some physical defect. as per
cent Of the children are suffering
from dental defects and about 20
per cent are suffering from defective
vision. Approximately 20 per cent
are suffering from diseased tonsils
and adenoids, the latter being the
commonest defects found.
Nutrition classes in the schools is
also recommended by Dr. Osincup's
report 80 per cent Of the pupils ex-
amined. were found TO be suffering
from malnutrition the examiner said.
A hot dish for the children 10 eat
with the lunch they bring from home
was advised. This dish will be
financed as far as equipment goes
for twenty schools. by the Red Cross
which is appropriating $1,000. The
twenty schools will be chosen from
those whose teachers are enthusias-
ticaily cooperative and where the
conditions are bad. The pupils will
be supplied with the necessary equip
ment and instructed in the prepara-
tion Of hot dishes which for the pres
ent. will consist only of cocoa. cream
soups. vegetables soups, etc. The
parents Of those children who are
able 20 do so. are expected TO pay
something toward these lunches.
Others will be asked TO supply such
things as milk and vegetables. II a
child cannot afford any OF these
things, he will be given the hot lunch
anyway
More nurses are needed for the
organization TO carry out the State
system OF school examinations, Doc
tor Osincup says At least eleven
nurses will be required TO cover the
ntdtt once "A year ms viii mean
five for Sussex and three each for
Kent and New Castle and will be
exclusive OF course OF Wilmington.
Local physicians should be paid at
a set rate per child the report states
rather than a fiat rate for a certain
district Each nurse should be as
signed TO a certain district IN order
that she may become acquainted
with the parents in that district as
well as the children.
Doctor Osincup's report in part
follows:
"Inasmuch as the visual defects
constitute a large percentage OF al
defects found, it would be advisabl
10 undertake some method of cor
recting these in the schools. Tn
