Creeks Yield Bare Living
To Arizona Gold Hunters

PRESCOTT, ARIZ.-The fevered
days of Arizona's early eighties are
being re-enacted on the frontiers of
this part of the state as the sum-
mer months have revived again the
lure of placer gold. Prospectors,
with their weatherbeaten strings of
pack mules, are winding out of CIV
ilization to streams where spring
freshets have replenished sands with
a meager supply of alluvial gold.
When the same fields were first
placered, gold had been collecting
through the stream beds for thou
sands of years. But with most of
the beds worked out" the prospec-
tor of today hopes only to wash out
and recover little pieces of the yell
low metal missed in the hurried OPP
creations of the past.
The bits of gold were formerly
known as "colorS"-today they
mean the livelihood of an estimated
$500 persons in the state. In Gran
lite creek, which runs through the
western section of Prescott, a large
number of men daily wash rocky
gravel to earn a living. A short
distance from the city's industrial
plants, men and women alike are
digging into the creek banks, re-
moving big slices of earth to be
either "panned" or "sluiced" for
gold.

These articles try to explain to the
public just what Miss Virginia Karl

These articles try to explain to the
public just what Miss Virginia Karl
son, public health nurse, has accom-
plished during the weeks and months
she is on her visits around the county.
During the month of September, just
ended, ii schools were visited and
total of 246 children were inspected.
The schools were in different parts
of the county and later they will not
be easily accessible. They are dis
tricts %, Is, II, 10, SO, 26, "a, 81,
43, 81, 80, 60, Sc and IS.
Miss Karlson is interested in the
health habits, school environments
and facilities for cleanliness, as well
as the physical status of the pupils
and teacher. The teachers attitude
towards health, her plans, as posters,
charts, contests and teaching mater
ial, are of interest. Districts "a and
Sc have good cleanliness and milk
drinking charts, on which the teeth
brushing and other habits are noted
each day by the teacher and pupils.
A few of the rural schools have in
adequate hand-washing and drink
ing and toilet facilities as paper
towels, fountains and pitchers, but
these have been ordered and are
being supplied as rapidly as possible
Health Education.
Health education is an important
part of child's school curriculum,
for if the teacher is interested in the
health status and habits of the pupils
and herself, the foundation for a
clean, healthy body is being laid.
Visits were made to tuberculosis pa
tients who were under the doctors
care, two of them being admitted
to Sanitoria. Some of the smaller
children and other members of the
family have had MantouX tests fol-
lowed by x-rays. This is import
ant because of the contagiousness of
tuberculosis.
Maternity work has been some
what neglected, only five visits being
expectant mothers. Surely there are
more mothers who could profit by
the nurses visit and government and
state literature which is available.
Mothers are urged to be aware of
the signs of scarlet fever, whooping
cough, measles and exercise precau-
ton to prevent the spread to other
children.
The work with and through the
auxiliary committees is developing,
plans being made for various meet
ings and activities.
