HARD OF HEARING
LEAGUE ELECTS
NEW OFFICERS

Imperial Valley League for the
Hard Of Hearing met last night at
the home of Mrs. L. Buster. 725
Olive avenue. The following Off
. GERS were elected to carry on the
work of the organization for the
new year beginning May l. Mrs.
Lynele Smith, president; Mrs. l.
Buster, e-president, Mrs. S.
Kendall. secretary. and Mrs. M. A
Kendall Of Holtyille. treasurer.
The retiring president Mrs. Mar
garet Radcliffe, has been the head
of this organization since its forma-
ton in June 1892 but declined the
nomination because of i'll health.
She will. however, continue to act
as instructor at The club lip reading
practices and help wherever she
can. The president, Mrs. Smith. will
announce the chairmen of the var
ious communities at the next meet
ing.
It was decided to call a meeting
of the representatives of the organ
izations Interested in seeing that
an audiometer is obtained for
hearing tests to be conducted un-
der the supervision of the county
health department. This meeting
will probably be held at the cham
Der of commerce rooms next We'd
nesday night at 7 p. m. Organiza-
tiOns interested in having repre-
sentative present can obtain further
Information from either Mrs. Smith,
the incoming president. or Mrs.
Radcliffe the retiring president.
Plans were also made to stress
the need of after care following
communicable diseases, such as scar
let fever. measles and diptheria. as
a means of preventing impaired
hearing in children of school age,
Mrs. Radcliffe stressed the fact
that many cases of adult deafness
are the result Of lack of proper care
of the ears following communicable
diseases in childhood. AS immun-
ization for diphtheria has been
chosen by the May day committee
of the state and provincial health
authorities of North America as the
May day child health day project
for 1885. the league felt that they
should stress the value of this work
also at this time, as preventing
these communicable diseases will
result in less deafness due to after
effects. Cooperation with P. T. A.
groups, departments of pu blic
health, and local units of medical
societies has been offered by all Or
carnations for the hard of hearing
as a part of their program for deaf
ness prevention
Since here in Imperial Valley
the league derives its chief revenues
from membership fees, it was de-
cided to carry on a membership
drive. MIS-. Radcliffe pointed out
that if this work was to be con-
tinued through another wear it was
necessary TO increase the men,
bership 81 find other means of
raising funds.
