County Nurse Is
Busy Visiting In
Various Schools
Report for August shows that
much has already been accOmp-
IiShed.

Although Miss Pearl Weaver,
county health nurse, has only been
on the job for little over month,
she has already accomplished a
great, as is clearly shown by a re-
port of her work for the month of
August and she is now extremely
busy visiting the different schools
in the county, getting vital infor-
nation relative to the health of the
children.
This week her schedule included
Baldwin school Tuesday, Windfall
in the morning and Tuckerdale in
the afternoon on Wednesday, and
today she is supposed to visit Ora
ham and Hurricane, Friday calls
for Meadow View in the morning
md New Hope in the afternoon.
Her tentative schedule for next
week is as follows: Monday, Sept.
Is, Osborne in the morning and
Sugar Grove in the afternoon;
Tuesday, Warrensville; Wednesday
Rye Cove in the morning, Flatwood
in the afternoon; Thursday, Fair
view in the morning and Thaxton
in the afternoon; Friday, Hemlock
in the morning and Rash in the
afternoon.
Miss Weavers' report of last
months activities is given below:
The first week was spent in con-
ference with the cousultant nurse
from the State Board of Health,
studying vital statistics for Ashe,
and the possible program recon-
mended by Federal and State Bu-
reaus of Preventive Medicine.
County Commissioners, school Off
Gals, physicians, and other public
health-minded citizens were met
and their cooperation assured.
The physical of the county can
not reach every mountain home in
time of need. So to the farthest
out-posts, the sentinels of the pub
lie health service-our midwives and
the registrators of vital statistics
were given the first month of visit
ing in homes and demonstration of
approved equipment and procedure.
Home visits were made to ten of
the nineteen registrars of vital sta
tistics and to the homes of twenty
six of the sixty midWive5 or those
other than physicians whose names
appear on birth certificates in Ashe
during 1886.
Ten demonstration meetings were
held, covering the most remote
townships of the county so that
midwives and visitors could attend
with little difficulty. From these
meetings, those who walked two or
three miles were returned to their
homes by the nurses where roads
allowed car travel. Although rain
descended on four of the meeting
days, no meeting was a complete
failure. A total of twenty-five
midWlves, seventeen visitors, and
six registrars observed the demon
STATIONS. Every midwife seems
eager to meet the new REQUIRE
ments for standard certificates

are quite as enthusiastic that their
own community helper shall mea.

YOUNG FLYER IS
 KILLED IN CRASH

Milton, Mass, Aug. 1l-(UP)- Motor vehicles registry inspectors today investigated last nights air. plane crash that cost the life of stu dent pilot Peter J. Cummings, 24 of Milton.
 Cummings fell into a side slir slip while circling low over the home of friends and crashed into 6 gar- age, narrowly missing four persons He was dead when extricated from twisted wreckage.
 Wiggins airport attaches at near- by Norwood said Cummings, who previously had flown 3 Ia hours solo, hired the two-passenger mons oplane and took off without permis- sion.
 It was while banking steeply over the home of William J. Dalton, 25 that Cummings went into the side slip. Frantically he tried in vain to pull 1t out of the slip.
 scraping tree tops, the plane struck a corner of a shed and crashed into the front of Q garage several houses away.
 The left wheel of the plane was catapulted through the air and struck Robert Ochs, 4b, who was in the yard. His wife Blanche and sons Walter, ls, and Robert Jr., 2l, escaped injury.

MYSTERY DEATH
 OF BROADHURST

Manchester, Conn, Aug. H. (UP)-William B. Broadhurst, 35, @ otis Place, Boston, Mass.,) died to- day at Manchester Memorial hospi- tai from decorations of the head re- ceived under mysterious circuna- stances. Coroner John Yeomans, Andover, will conduct an inquest this afternoon seeking to discover the cause of the injuries which caused his death. Police received two stories. one that Broadhurst while walking along the lake shore at South Coventry in company of a woman, fell and struck his head; i; the other that he had dove into shallow water while swimming. How ever, police said. he was fully clothed when taken to the hospital.
 A check-up revealed he was reg istered at the Garde Hotel, New Haven. Boston police said he was the son of a retired judge of the United States district court at Bos- ton, now living at an unknown ad- dress in Washington. D. c.
 It was also learned that since Broadhurst was in the hospital a woman went to the Garde hotel and sought to obtain a grip she left in his room there. She told the hotel clerk she was his sister.

 Discussing snake bites, Lewis said rattler or copperhead makes tive punctures about quarter inch apart, while the harmless variety make a circular scratch.
 Fang Removal Not Safe
 Removal of fangs does not make poisonous snakes harmless" he aS- serted. "The remaining stumps may be long enough to make scratches or new fangs may grow"
 Whisky, because 1t stimulates cir- culation of blood, is a poor cure for snake bite, according to the collec- tor of reptiles. And stimulating cir- culation Is the worst possible thing for the victim because 1t speeds the spread of poison, he said.
 When anyone says he snapped of the head of a copperhead by holding its tail and whipping fl downward, whether he's your broth CT, your father, or anyone else, he'i a liar, Lewis continued. Such ( stunt Is impossible"
 Blasts Another Myth
 And blacksnakes don't attack cop perheads nor do copper colores snakes smell like cucumbers, ht added.
 Lewis estimated the chances oi being bitten by a poisonous snake ir the United States at about one ir . million. He said of the approxi' mately 100 cases of fatal snake bite' in this country. 90 per cent occurred west of the Mississippi. And tho victim usually had teased the snake by hitting 1t or throwing stones ct 1t, he said.
 Lewis said he knew there were copperheads and rattlers in Beai Mountain Park, but in the last fivt years he has been hunting them he has caught only two copperhead; and no rattlers.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-08-11

Contrary to popular belief, Lewis explained, deadly snakes don't al- ways have triangular heads and heavy bodies. They do always have a distinctive pit between eye and nostril; fangs; and vertical or cats eyes.
 You can't tell the age of rattler by the number of rattles on its tall" Lewis continued, thereby lay- ing low another adage.
 "A rattler grows two or three rat- ties . year." he pointed out, but the ends snap of so that he rarely has more than "A at a time.
 "If you find one with 20 or 50 yoH can depend on 1t that someone has caught the snake and snapped on some extra rattles."
 Rattler Not Only Noisy Snake
 Lewis announced that one should not jump to the conclusion you have been bitten by a rattler be- cause you heard a noise before the snake struck"
 Other reptiles often make sim- ilae sound when excited or about to strike" he said. "They move their tails rapidly, much like an angry
