RESUME GIVEN

TREATED AND OTHER MAT.
TIERS CARRIED ON BY OR.
GANIZATIoN

Through the courtesy Of DIR.
James B. Parramore, surgeon in
charge of the Monroe County
Clinic, and Miss Gladys Roberts,
in charge of the local Social Serv-
ice unit, The Citizen has been
given a resume of the clinic ac-
Invites during the month OF April.
During the past month, 323
patients were treated and BAT
prescriptions filled. Eight Kahn
tests and one tuberculosis test
were made. Cod liver oil in the
quantity of 162 ounces were is
sued and six pounds of dried milk
wera distributed to clients in need
of this kind of nourishments.
There were ~ dressings and so
calls at homes made. At the re-
quest Of physicians nine cases
were admitted to the Marine hos
pital and five X-ray pictures were
made.
The eight children, who were
designated by the Orthopedic elm
ic held in Key West to be sent to
Miami, and were accepted by the
Crippled Children's Commission
for treatment in Jackson Me-
mortal Hospital, have been greatly
benefited.
In one instnace a child was
fitted with an appliance to length
en- his leg three inches. The use
of the appliance has strengthened
the child's body and he can now
walk in an upright position. 1t
is also adjustable so that he will
be able to use it for several
years.
Another case was that of a
young girl suffering from curva-
ture of the spine. She was fitted
with an appliance which will pre-
vent the curvature from increas-
ing even though it was impossible
TO effect q cure. However, as she
is only eleven years old there Is
possibility of some correction in
her posture being effected.
In still another instance, child
of seven had been severely burn
ed. This was a case for plastic
surgery. The surgical work has
been accomplished and the child
is progressing nicely.

JACKSONVILLE, May To-
If all the annual parades, pageants
and celebrations staged in the
state of Florida were strung out
end to end it would be impossible
for the marchers to pass a given
point without being overtaken by
next years procession.
Moreover, winter visitors, not
to miss any of these spectacles,
would find themselves hard press
ed, scurrying from one part OF
the state to another, to make it
without breaking the speed limits.
Such is the magnitude of Flor
ida's annual entertainments as
revealed by researchers compiling
the Florida state guide under the
direction of the federal writer's
project.
So far 100 annual events have
been listed, according to DR..
Curtis Doggett Corse, in charge
of the work. February is shown
to be the big month with 48 and
August the smallest with but one.
The tourist season from Deem
Der to April, inclusive, accounts
for 1872.
Variety of events is also dis
closed to be almost as wide as the
number, if sports events be I'M
cluded. Most colorful and high
ly publicized are listed in what is
known as the tourist belt. These
include the Gasparilla carnival at
Tampa, Festival of States at st.
Petersburg, Sara de Soto pageant
at Sarasota, La Semana Allegro
week of joy-at Key West, the
Seminole Sun dance at West Palm
Beach, and the Mardi Gras carni-
val at Pensacola. These spectacles
range from the impressive religious
Feast of Epiphany-Greek Cross
day-at Tarpon Springs to tho

During the week ending Satur-
day. DIR. James B. Parramore, d.
rector of the Monroe County
Health Unit and Community Gin
ic, responded to the request Of
the President of the United States
that the first week in May be
designated as Child Health Week,
and made number Of addresses
at the various schools.
The doctor stressed the inn
portance of always washing the
hands before eating; brushing the
teeth at least twice daily; not al
lowing anyone to kiss them if the
person had cold in the head; TAX
ing a goodly supply of nourishing
food, including liberal quantities
of pure cows milk, to help build
up and preserve their bodies,
fresh air and sunshine to prevent
and cure tuberculosis; innocuia-
tions to prevent smallpox, dip
iberia, typhoid fever and other
diseases.
Urges Education
He stated that only by educat-
ing the public, and especially tho
children as to the benefits OF
modern vaccination and innocula-
tons can epidemics of contagious
diseases be prevented. Every means
should be used to prevent out
breaks of dengue or yellow fever
by destroying all mosquitoes and
PAGES where they breed. All tin
cans or open receptacles which
collect water are potential breed
ing places and these should be col
lected and destroyed.
There are a good many cases
of rabies in some cities in Florida,
said the doctor, and no dogs
should be allowed to enter Key
West that have not been recently
innoculated to prevent rabies,
otherwise they should be leashed
and prevented from running at
large for at least 10 days.

lists of the World at Sarasota.
Then come, the Orange festival
at Winter Haven, the Strawberry
festival at Plant City, the Tung
Blossom festival at Gainesville,
the Gardenia festival at Lake
Eloise and the Amarylis fiesta at
Orlando. In addition there are,
the South Florida fair at Tampa,
the southwest florida fair at Fort
Myers, the Duval fair at Jackson
vile, the Escambia County fair at
Pensacola, the Central Florida
Exposition at Orlando and score
or more Of flower shows.
For the most part these events
run from several days to a week,
but there are many more one
day celebrations, among them,
Edison day at Fort Myers, a Day
in Spain at St. Augustine and the
Old Timers picnic at Fort Myers.
In the sports division are fish
ing contests which, to give but a
sample, include the National
Freshwater bass tournament at
Laesburgh, the Silver Sailfish
Derby at Palm Beach, the Tarpon
Roundup at st. Petersburg and
the international tarpon tourna-
ment at Sarasota.
Championship golf matches,
featuring many stars Of the links
also take in the left handed play
at Coral Gables. Boat events
range from the National moth
boat races at Melbourne to the
st. Petersburg-Havana interna-
tional handicap race.
For insertion in the state guide
these events have been segregat-
ed end grouped by months fol
quick reference, and the list is
said to be constantly increasing
as research work progresses.
