HAROLD MUNCK RETURNS TO
OROFINO

Harold Munck, who left here last
November on winters visit to his
home in SOrig, Denmark. returned
to Orofino this week and will re-
main in The Clearwater country for
several months at least. His bro
ther Oskar accompanied him to Ida
ho and will remain here permantiy
and become true American like
his brother, Harold. During the
naval engagement between the Eng
lish and German fleets of the coast
of Jutland, Oskar Munich AND
others residing in the north erly
point of Jutland could hear the
firing of the naval guns during the
battle and witnessed the washing
up of English and German bodies
on the Danish shores. Harold is
much pleased to return to Idaho and
saw nothing in his long journey to
compare with the beautiful scenery
of the Gem State. The Clearwater
mountains with their evergreen
verdure is satisfying relief to the
lowland monotony of Denmark and
the prairie sameness of Montana
Harold Munck proved up on a home
stead near Rattlesnake Mont, but
the Clearwater Is his attractive
home. His many friends are very
glad to welcome him back.

ARE THEY AMERICAN CITIZENS

A considerable number of labor
ers. apparently Italians or Bohem-
ians, have passed through Orofino
lately enroute to the Oxford to
work on the joint government and
state highway for contractors Sci
mems and Carlson. Considerable
unfavorable comment has been In
duiged in by the unemployed men
of this section regarding the bring
ing In of outside labor. and po y
foreign workmen to work on COVER
ment and state projects. These
foreigners may possibly be present
citizens, but If they are nat the
American Legion will likely inves-
tigate the matter. We understand
there is law prohibiting the en-
ployment of foreigners who refuse
to become citizens and this pro-
vision should be strictly enforced

INSPECTION
or CHILDREN
Orofino One of The HealthieSt
Communities IN Many Respects,
In The State

Miss Edith Countryman, r. N,
from Boise. Idaho, is continui. Z tn
inspection of the children at the
school house this week. About half
OF the children of OrOfino have re-
sponded and have received their
cards indicating the condition found.
Many of these children have re-
ceived the distinction of having ths
red star on their cards for being
within one pound of their normal
weight. 1t is necessary to ep the
child up to his normal weight as
nearly as possible. Many of the
children found to be underweight
are the ones who are not using as
much milk as they should and are
users of tea and coffee.
The response from the parents Is
very good and much interest mas
been shown by the mothers in hav-
ing the defects corrected and many
have consulted the nurse in regard
to feelings for the children. Lit
erature has been. distributed IN re-
gard to diets for the normal child,
If the child is not up to the norma,
standard the physician should b.
consulted and a special diet pre-
scribed by him for the child.
While this seems to be one of the
healthiest communities, in MANI
respects, everyone should consider
that he himself is responsible foi
keeping the health of the cOmmun.

Community action can remedy many
conditions injurious to the welfare
Of the community. The purity OF

munity. Every one shOuldhelp no

ports that the condition Of tn

.RA|LR0AOERS AND
PROFESSIONAL MEN
Comparison of Salaries Show a Bal
ance in Favor of the Railroad
Employee.

w. j. Jordan, general agent or
the Northern Pacific Railway Co..
was an Orofino visitor this week
and departed on Thursdays morn
ing train for Lewiston. In speak ng
of the insistence of the railroad
employees organizations for the r.
tentiOn OF war wages and the
prObOble decision to strike for the
continuation of extremely high pay,
Mr.. Jordan remarked that employ
ees on the Genseee branch of the
Nor. Pac. were drawing pay checks
in excess of salaries paid compe-
tent professors in Wa hington State
College who had spent about Is
years In time and considerable money
to acquire an education to fit tn m
Tor college work. The following
from The Manufacturer Of Salem
Org. is a further comparison OF
wages for different vocations:

Giving wage"
Railroad employees, sas a whole,
Mr.. Hall said, earn as much, and IL
some instances more. than the bes
trained men holding positions o
greatest trust and responsibility IL
the four states through which w
operate. The claim that any reduc
tion will deprive railroad employe
of a living wage or enough to liv
according to American standards
refuted by the facts.
when our judges, college an
university professors, high schco
and grammar school teachers
preachers, policemen and fire figh
ers receive, as whole, very muc
less than railroad employees. as
whole. there can be no just clair
that reasonable reduction in com
pensation will deprive railroad en-
ployes of proper living wage.
