MAINE CHAPTER OF
RED CROSS DOING
PUBLIC HEALTH WORK

According to the annual report OF
the American Red Cross which has
just been received in Augusta from
the ational headquarters in Wash
ington, the chapter in the Capital
City is one of the % Red Cross
Chapters in the State of Maine which
maintain public health nursing
service. The exact type of service
given varies in each locality accord
ing to the needs of that community
and the work which is being done by
other organizations along this line.
Twenty four nurses are engaged In
this work which is supported entire
ly or in part by Maine chapters.
The annual report of the organiza-
ton reveals that 1854 visits to
Maine homes in the past year have
been made by these nurses to care
for the sick, protect the well, and
teach the principles of good health to
ALL" In addition to the visits to
homes, the nurses also have made g.
307 visits to schools, where over "a
S21 school children were inspected.
The periodic inspection of Maine
school children. officials declare, is
an important step in the prevention
of serious epidemic. Symptoms of
contagious diseases are discovered.
and children are excluded from the
class rooms before the contagion has
, had a chance to spread, thus pre-
venting widespread infection.
Another important result of these
| inspections is the detection of ply
steal defects in school children be-
| fore serious harm has resulted. Cases
are common, the nurses state. where
| children are found to be suffering
Ifrom defects of vision and hearing
| diseased tonsils, adenoids, and even
more serious troubles which hither-
to had gone unnoticed, or parents
\ had not realized the seriousness of
| the condition. The nurses, after
| finding symptoms of such defects,
visit the parents and explain the i'm
portance of their consulting their
doctor Immediately.
| Health authorities state that this
work is playing an important part in
raising both the health and scholastic
standards of American school chill
dren, pointing out that improvement
in the health of child generally re-
suits in improvement in his scholar
ship.
| In addition to the visits to homes
and schools asa health conferences
have been held during the past year
in an effort to reach as many people
as possible with the message of
health. Over 1852 people have at
tended these conferences, the report
! shows.
| Local Red Cross officia.. state that
the organization now has 657 public
health nursing services in the United
| States, with 79S nurses. These
nurses have during the last year
made over 100000 visits to homes,
1908 visits to schools, and have in
! spected 1,15S,S60 school children.

Flying Dragons

Despite their title. the Flying
Dragons of the Malay countries
and Philippine Islands are harm
less little lizards, only a few
inches in length. They are re-
markable for their brilliant col
oring and the expansion of the
skin of the sides of the body into
a large parachute.like structure.
This enables them to take long
flying leaps from bough to bough,
or even from tree to tree. In the
extent of these leaps they are
quite unique among reptiles, and
are, therefore. truly marvellous
