BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.
BY c. G. Mousseau, Clerk.

Imperial Valley press., 1923-11-12
NURSES REPORT SHOWS MUCH
DONE FOR CHILDKEN'S WELFARE

A report of interest to club wo-
men and mothers of the county, and
to the general public who have at
heart the welfare of the coming
generation, was recently submitted
by Mrs. Beatrice c. Kay, the nurse
who, under the auspices of the I'M
perial County tuberculosis Associa-
ton, came to the valley this fall to
work here in the interest of better
health conditions.
While Mrs. Kay is in no way of
ficially connected with the county
work and is therefore not under the
jurisdi dietion of the board of super
visors, she states in her report that,
as work such as hers is usually
done under the board in other coun-
ties, she felt that the report of her
activities which follows, was due
them.
"At present the rural school nurs-
ing is handled under the Imperial
county tuberculosis committee. Each
school pays for the amount of time
it requires. This makes the work
available only to the schools who
can finance the work, regardless of
the need of the smaller schools, and
curtails the follow up visits and
work in the homes.

our children with neglected teeth,
many under nourished and frequent
eye conditions in addition; to the
usual defects of vision, throat and
ears.

Imperial Valley press., 1923-11-12

tober 81, 1923, inclusive, the schools
visited were: McCabe Union, Bon

tana; Centenilla; Mt. Signal; Seel-
ey; Alamitos; Beech, and Heber.

s, 1S7; trustees and principals
visited, 81; imputige dressed, 6;
pediculosis cases, 8; ewes showing
granulations, IA; "first aid' dress
ings, 16.
Remembering the fact that in ad-
dition to all the work covered in the
report, Mrs. Kay looked into several
tubercular cases reported to her and
conducted number of public meet
ings, as well as holding numerous
conferences, the need for attention
and aid such as she is giving be-
comes self-evident.
The Imperial Valley tuberculosis
Association, of which Mrs. Bales
Walker of this city is chairman, is
hoping that the Importance of this
work will be recognized by the sup
ervisors, so that sometime in the
near future 4 county nurse can min
lister to the needs of those children
who are now attending schools that
cannot afford this service.

"Small, inexpensive House Will
Be Biggest Demand Of Majority
OF HOme-Seekers," Babson Cites

costs can be reduced when the nee
essity arises. The only reason prices
of building materials and building
labor did not decline as much as the
average Of other things was because
the demand was sufficient without
it. That is merely the natural
of economic law.
Price Crash Not Due
"The chance of a sudden crash
either i'll building costs or real
estate values, therefore, is small.
The movement, on the contrary, will
be far more likely to carry out the
appearance of a series of steps. We
had one big step down in 1921, fol-
lowed by partial advance. Before
long another step probably will be
in order. General business as re-
Elected in the Babsonchart is run
ming at 16 per cent below normal
The idea, however, that building
values are suddenly going to drop
to prewar levels seems as improb-
able us the view that they will al
ways continue at present high
prices.
''The investment builder faces
the opportunity directly. There is
little question but he will profit
both by turning his attention to
developments along the line of
groups of less expensive houses than
by continuing his activities in the
higher price fields. -...
"'Finally, the average investor
has an opportunity in well located
suburban land. Thousands upon
thousands of modest homes will be
built during the next few years.
The automobile has broken the
transit limitation which has here
tofore bound our cities. The trend
will be i'm favor Of suburbs and the
investor who puts part of his
funds in well selected suburban
property at a fair price, judged on
present leyels, should profit during
the next few years
