Nutrition Work
Being Continued

Two members of the Board of
Education, Mr.. Chris Anderson and
Mr.. S. H. Rostkowski, have visited
the Nutrition class IN Public School
No. o, and have declared themselves
delighted with the progress of the
children.
There are twenty-five children in
this class all from third and fourth
grades and ali of them at least
twelve per cent under weight and a
rumber of the children are eighteen
or nineteen per cent underweight for
neighth and age.
The children have been receiving
one half pint bottles of milk daily
for two weeks. They are all under
the special are of Miss Lucy Wog-
ION who sees that the crackers,
straws and milk reaches each indiv-
idual child.
At the last weighing two children
had gained as much as five pounds
and every child but one had made a
gain. 1t is thought that the reason
this child did not seem to be gain
ing was because several pounds of
winter clothing had been removed
during the warm days. Helen Strep-
ka and Helen kaiita were the two
girls reported to have gained five

pounds underweight and now has
only two pounds to gain until she
reaches her normal weight. Steve
Russin gained three pounds and was
leader of the boys group. There are
a larger number of girls in the class
than boys. Nineteen of the twenty
five children are girls. The families
Of these children have been visited
by Miss Mae Blocke. and Miss Jane
j. Packard OF the Middlesex County
tuberculosis League and instructions
given to the mothers of the family
as to diet and health habits. After
the initial visits are made a Com
mittee from the Woman's Club under
the direction of Mrs. Leo Goldherger
will visit the families OF these child
rem. 1t was found when making home
visits that most of the families of
these children were able to- supply
the children with ths necessary food,
but had not given much thought
about diet or health habits of their
children and were very much sur
prised to find their children were
underweight.

DEPARTMENT BROKE

Phoenix, Feb. 15.-The state
highway department has reach.
ed the end of the trail and finds
itself unable to proceed further,
according to partial report Of
the committee appointed to in
vestigate the affairs of the de-
partment for some years past.
The system employed by former
State Engineer Maddox appears
to be too complicated to be fol-
lowed by the present manage
ment. which announces that it
cannot proceed without direct
financial aid.
1t was the practice of Mr..
Maddox to keep all the various
road funds employed-the coun.
ty IS per cent fund and federal
aid funds. There we're transfers
of such funds from whatever
sources they we're not imme-
diately needed, to places where
funds were needed, and. in con-
sequence, the report states that
there was large deficit on De.
cember 81 of last year. It is
claimed that there is now IAN
actual known deficit of $201, &c.
81 in the highway general 25
percent fund and a potential de-
felt of funds of possibly one
million dollars or more which
your committee believe will be
definite established by further
Investigation"
AUDIT TWIN REPORTS
Two weeks ago the firm of
Smart, Gore & Company of Obi.
cago was employed for the pur-
pose of examining and auditing
the books of the department.
A week later report was made
showing that on January / the
excess of book liabilities over
book resources amounted to
$40, 500. 80. But it was agreed
that the figures we're not reliably
indicative of actual conditions
because of a misunderstanding
of the system which had pre-
vailed in the department..
It is not suggested in the re-
port that any of the funds have
been wasted, but that they have
been expended through a system
of transferring and retransfer-
ring that the attorney general
now contends is not allowable
under the laws.
