roller skates to the nearest underpass,
their wagons to the sharpest curve Sand
with the swi fitness Of eagles, they glpr-

7 have gone to five different schools.
- Each, very dark, old and gloomy.
With strict rules such as to get in
line straight or to play what the other
Children play.
The room was always dark. Most of
the time the teacher would have to turn
on the lights.
Our studies we're not alike. If we
did not finish our work we would have
to stay and get it done. But to my de-
light the new school is altoge Their diff
ferent. There are no strict rules
about getting in line straight or play
ing a Il the same games.
The teacher, is very nice and kind.
We never stay after school unless we
help the teacher.
My mother never worries if I get
home late, for it is safe throu the

"Work in prenatal care has ad-

whenever possible in public health
work, the work of vaccinations, inocu-
lations, ETC., is turned over to practic-
ing physicians. This is not possible,
however, in rural areas where they are
not available. There are ten practicing
physicians in Garrett county, altho
there are several others on the border
line, in nearby West Virginia and
Pennsylvania, and in Allegany county,
Md, who are called many times.
This summer DIR. Peck secured from
the Health Department a trailer so
that he could carry his supplies right
to the rural schools and have more
privacy in conducting examinations OF
the boys and girls. 1t was the first
trailer of the kind in the State. Before
that he used an army field desk that
had been converted into a portable
laboratory when he was doing public
health work in Connecticut. This
small-sized trunk carries everything
needed to conduct his work.
DR.. Peck continued to insist that his
work was only routine and that moth
ing much could have been accomplish
ed without his nursing staff, hut he did
admit that there were two occasions
which were not termed routine" He
was ordered out of home one time
and threatened with a poker when at
tending a diphtheria case that turned
out fatally for the patient. Another
time a woman was i'll of tuberculosis
and members of the family chased him
away at the point of shotgun. %,
Although licensed to practice medi-
cine in AZ states, DIR. Peck continues
in public health work because he "likes
it,, and travels on the average Of
about $4,000 miles per year. He re-
grets the necessity of leaving Garrett
