Reviewed At Meet

The Pine County Nursing Advis-
DRY committee met Wednesday eve
ming, July 9Th, at the home of Mrs.
H. Johnson of Willow River. The
meeting was called to order by the
chairman, Mrs. H. Johnson. The sec
retary's and treasurer's reports were
read and accepted. The subject of
pre-school clinics was discussed, and
after some discussion DR.. Wilson of
the children's department of the State
Board of Health suggested that child

she visits different territories in the
county. This suggestion was &C
copied by the committee. Miss Krog-
dahl will have her weeks vacation the
last week in August just before school
starts.
Mrs NJ Shredder suggested that the
committee stage county nurse week
some time in September and at that
time sell buttons or tags, the proceeds
to go toward the support of a county
nursing service. This suggestion met
with the approval of the entire COM
mittee and Oscar Eklund was ap-
pointed to find out the cost of buttons
or tags. This county nurse button
week will also bring to the attention
of larger groups that there is such
a service in the county. Miss M.
Krogdahl's report was read and &C
copied as was also her 6-months re-
port which she had prepared for
presentation to the board of county
commissioners.
Mrs. Johnson read letter from
the state department stating that Pine
county would continue to get $500
each year from the Social Securities
funds although some counties have
had their ALLEGATION cut. Guests at
the meeting were DR.. w. c. Ehmke
of Willow River, DR.. Paul Wilson and
Miss Ann Nyquist of the state de-
partment, Mrs. Stokes of Sandstone,
N. Shredder of Pine City, DR.. Stella
Wilkinson of Askov, Mrs. Oscar Elk
lund of Bruno, and Mrs. c. G. Aakhus.
It was decided at the meeting to
have a booth at the county fair in
August. Mrs. Reid was appointed to
work with Miss Krogdahl on the
booth. They will be supplied with
material from the State Department
of Health. The next meeting will be
held in the nurses home in Hinckley.

Nursing Service
Is Seen AS Boon
To Good Health
County Nursing Commit
tee Issues Report to Board
of County Commissioners

Reviewing the past several months
work of the County Nurse the Pine
County Nursing committee issued a
report to the county board. The re-
port follows:
The first six weeks were devoted
almost entirely to vaccinating against
smallpox which was raging in the
county Fortunately there was only
one death in the county from this
disease. 1t is believed that consid-
cradle money was saved the county
and its communities by the intense,
general vaccinating campaign. The
physicians are to be commended on
their splendid work, and without the
unfailing cooperation and support of
the Nursing committee the program
would have been almost impossible.
From January to May 81, school
inspections were made almost ex-
clusively With the large number
of schools in the county it was nee
eSsary to confine the work to the
schools in order that as many as
possible could be inspected before
the year was up.
Since June l, time has been spent
in the field initiating subcommittee
members to their work with the serv-
ice and making home calls on cases
reported. A share of two weeks of
this past month was spent at the
School Patrol camp at Yellow Banks.
Many of the additional miles and
hours of work may be attributed to
going out to take care of the injured
at camp.
Summary of Communicable Diseases.
Control of communicable diseases
has so far played an important role
in the service Four thousand four
hundred ninety-six individuals of
whom we know were vaccinated,
and very probably good many more
than we have record of. Three hum
dred and forty-three of these were
read by the nurse. Thirty-four visits
were made to scarlet fever patients,
and IA nursing visits to smallpox
cases, one to chickenpoX and eight to
measles.

International
News Review
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

At a time when international news
surveys must needs deal with dis
sensions, discord and wars, ges-
ture of peace and friendship like this
weeks sensational transatlantic air
plane journey is welcomed by mil
lions: Howard Hughes, wealthy
American, flew, accompanied by four
other men, from New York to Paris
in Is hours 38 minutes-in other
words, left New York Sunday after
noon, American central standard time,
arriving at his first destination during
the forenoon of the following day
(afternoon at 4, Paris time). But
even this achievement in the field
of international amity had to be
marred by rumors of unfriendiness,
for it was reported from Berlin-not
yet confirmed at this writing that
Hughes, intending to circle the earth,
was denied permission to fly across
German territory on his way to Mos
cow. If this is true, and if it is just
ordinary plain cussedness on the part
of the German government, it is
pretty small; if, on the other hand,
it is in retaliation for American de-
NAL of contractually promised helium
for German dirigibles, it is, at least,
understandable.
Great Britain and Spain.
Those who may have thought that
foreign volunteers would start their
return from Spain to their respec-
tive home-lands as soon as the in
ternational non-intervention COM
mittee in London had agreed on a
division of the expenses, were more
optimistic than the facts warranted;
the volunteers are still there, but now
it has been agreed that as soon as the
loyalist government at Barcelona and
the rebel headquarters at Burgos give
their consent, withdrawal will begin.
According to the best informed opin-
ion, there is so much red tape wound
around the whole business that Moth
ing is expected to happen for sew
eral months, and by that time the
Spanish civil war probably is ended,
anyhow.
It is the British government that
