Report From Health Depart
ment Shows Help Given By
Mrs. Guffey Of Raleigh.

The health department has
submitted the following report
from Mrs. N. P. Guffey state
health nurse from Raleigh who
recently spent several weeks
here assisting in the inspection of
schools, showing the extent of
her valuable work:
While in the county Mrs. CUT
fey inspected twenty-nine schools
including the following: Obids,
Othello, Laurel Fork, Burnt Hill,
Oval, Baldwin, West Pine
Swamp, Idlewild, Mill Creek,
Duncan, Orion, Toliver, Stages
Creek, Osborne, Sugar Grove,
White Oak, Winfall, Tuckerdale,
Buffalo, Boggs, Glendale Springs,
Little Helton, Peak Greek, Wag-
Oner, Bristol (Col.), West Jeffer-
son, Fleetwood, Jefferson.
Summing up her report to the
State Board of Health, we find
she inspected 1853 children; made
health talks in so different grad
es; found 1896 children with
physical defects.
There were Is children in
school with defective hearing;
142 children with defective
vision uncorrected; 928 children
with defective permanent teeth,
826 children with bad tonsils; 667
were listed as defestive breathing
suggesting adnoids or other de-
fects of nose.
Three hundred and five of
those children have poor posture;
Z have orthopedic defects; 26 had
skin eruption; 6 had hyperthy-
roid; % were in school with lice
on their heads: 312 children were
ten per cent or more under
weight, while only II children
were twenty per cent or more
overweight. She found that II
children have had tonsils remov-
ed: Alb have been immunized
against diphtheria; % against
smallpox and 437 against ty-
phoid
"Of these % schools, only 20
have oiled floors and are keep

hand washing and also over the
dusty floors. She urged the
teachers and the sanatarian to
use every means possible to Sc

washing facilities and better care
of the toilets.
Mrs. Guffy travelled 638 miles
in visiting these 20 schools"

There's more than meets the eye
in the decision to court Congress
rather than the President. Business,
like the rest of the country. does not
fail to note that the controls at
Washington nowadays are at the
legislative end of Pennsylvania ave-
nue.. F. D. r. still makes the head
lines, but Congress makes the de-
cisions. Hardly anything could be
more symbolical of this new state OF
affairs than the to-do over the in
ternational situation. 1t is already
fairly clear, despite the popular ap-
proval which Mr.. Roosevelt's atti-
tude and action have evoked. that he
has long and rocky road to travel
before securing congressional ap-
proval Of any course that might lead
to war. 1t will take only show

That Hitler and Mussolini are

Roosevelt's non-aggression appeal,
certain vociferous critics of Ameri-

the doubtful honor of being quoted

not speak for the American people.

1t seems that William Penn was

promoting the idea of reciprocal
trade. A constituent of this column
submits the text of communication
addressed by the great Quaker en-
pire-builder to the Emperor of
Canada" in 1882, proposing a trade
agreement between Penn's Woods
and the Dominion. This is the quaint
text of Penn's proposal:

It may have escaped your attention.
but last Saturday brought a revival
of that old Yale spirit which used
to be famous in football-and in
life, if you follow me-from coast to
coast.
Old Ellis in Bridgeport and Singa-
pore are said to swoon with emo
ton when the POSTMASTER lifts
bumper to the memory of Ted Coy.
The same phenomenon holds good
for Frank Hinkey and Pudge Hef-
felflnger and you even can get
pretty fair minor swoon out of the
Old Blue with Albie Booth.
In most of those cases the Yale
spirit called for charge. an ad-
vance. a forward movement. Ted
Coy always ran forward. That was
his speciality. But, last Saturday, a
brave young sophomore ran back
ward for Yale so gallantly, against
great odds, that he had those Ellis

Cheer up, boys, the rescue act is
on. The little Eva of local profess
sional golf, after a perilous journey
across the ice of abandonment,
seems well on the way to an heroic
rescue. The District of Columbia
Open championship, after having
been booted around like a football
any Saturday afternoon, is about to
be saved. That is if the pros accept
an offer of the Army Navy Country
Club to stage the tourney early next
month.
There's no Whip-snapping Simon
Legree in the offing, either, to put
the kibosh on the innocent little in
FAINT tourney. Instead valiant COmdr.
William S. Popham, who happens to
be chairman of golf activities at
Army Navy, in addition to being one
OF the better amateurs around town,
appears as the boy hero in the rescue
act. 1t all comes out of a conversa-
ton Popham had with AL Houghton,
Bob Barnett and Witty Cox. The
big Cox man, in case you've forgot
ten. is the holder of the title.
Our Golf Committee will meet
Friday to talk over this District
Open championship proposition, /"

to put it over. The course is good
and with good weather the tourna-
ment should be O. K" Popham

Army Navy Makes Best Offer.
All in all it seems to be the best
offer the boys have had for their
tourney this year. And if it isn't
held this year, 1t will be held in the
spring. Cox himself isn't so keen
about holding it now. But Witty
doesn't know much about fall
weather around Washington He
hasn't been here long enough to
realize that some of our best golfing
weather comes in November.
November 6 is the tentative date.
It's all up in the air SO far, but if
Army Navy offers its course,
and puts up little dough to bind
the bargain the boys would be dumb
not to jump at the chance. Next
spring will be too late, and in ad-
dition it seems to me I've heard the
pros inveigh against tournaments
| in the spring. We're too busy with
club business to play in affairs in
| the spring months" they say.
So the chee-ild may be saved If
1t is you can blame it all on Bill
Popham. There's a guy who believes
in promoting the game of golf.
