REDWOOD FALLS GETS ITS FIRST
opportunity to witness track meet at home
when the district ten lads come here Satur-
day. Strangely enough in this modern day,
the event is free. Some track events are the
most strenuous Of all sports Although we
speak of track squads as teams, actually in
dividual effort is important as in few other
sport events. Track has color, thrills land
spirited endeavor. Take little time off Sat
urday and witness at least part of the meet.

Health Supervision
 Promoted By Merger
Summer Round-Ups, Child Conferences Combined;
 l,709 Children Given Physical Checkups in State

school children were examined out of a total of 2,371 registered for the roundup from III schools. Physical defects were found in 1,432 children and PIT children were found with out physical defects.
 Started In 1926
 The Summer Round-ups were or- ganized in 1928 by the parent teacher associations and have been conducted in cooperation with school authorities, health workers and parents. Their purpose is to detect and correct all remedial phy- sical defects and improper health habits but the limitations of such 8 program have been recognized, the bulletin said. In towns where no other child health work was be- ing carried on, no opportunity was given for examining the younger children, so children missed the ad- vantages of earlier health supervis- ion. It was seen that many defects found at the age of five or six years might have been avoided is discov- cred earlier and corrected in their incipiency. Immunization against diphtheria and smallpox were also frequently neglected although these procedures are most valuable in the earlier years when susceptibility is greatest. In other towns where both Well Child Conferences and Summer Round-ups were being conducted, 1t was founc that no de- finite tie-up between the two pro- jects existed.
 Early Supervision
 A complete program of child health supervision should begin at birth and continue through the entire period of childhood, 1t was stated. Tn 123 communities where well child conferences are held, the entering school children now receive a final complete physical and dental examination including vision and hearing tests. If 8 school nursing program exists in the community, 6 complete record is made out or forms used in the school. If hte public health nurse also carries tht school program, the entire record of health supervision from birth is transferred to the school files.

Work Relief Headed for Crash?

operation to keeping chiselers of the rolls.
 All in all, WPA is heading for an impossible situation. It is a cinch that the WPA problem will be red-hot issue for the congress which reconvenes next January One of two things Is apt to happen then:
 Either the protests from people back home will become so strong that congress will overhaul the law and liberalize its provisions or the present trend will be con- tinued and the whole work relief program vii be replaced by a return to direct relief, locally ham, dled.
 Which may happen is anybody's guess. The one thing that seems certain is that some sort of climax is very rapidly approaching.

 trend which was begun by the new wPA appropriation bill continues, the country is heading back toward the old system of the dole.
 This, at any rate, Is the opinion of men who are directing the WPA program.
 BURROUGHS TO
 BE PERMANENT
 First of all, the "payless furlough" ordered for the 650,0o0 WPA clients who have been on the rolls IS months or longer is going to mean permanent removal from work relief projects for most of those people. When their 30-day furlough ends, they must get re-certified for WPA by local relief agencies and await their turn.
 "In my opinion" says Deputy Administrator Howard Hunter, flew of these people will get back on WPA. In most places, the pressure on us is so great that we'll have to fill their jobs immediately. After all, we've got a million people, certi- fled and awaiting places on WPA."
 The 650,OO0 18-months people, furthermore, have filled most of the straw boss" positions on WPA projects. Because of their long experience, they have provided WPA with Its foremen, time- keepers, checkers, and so on. Their departure will cripple WPA proj- ecS everywhere. What little claim WpA may have had to efficiency in operation will largely vanish when they go; in some towns WPA projects are simply going tc be suspended.
 Next comes the removal of wage diRerentials. This will mean dras- tio pay cuts for WPA workers al across the north and middle west; in the south, 1t will mean sharr pay increases-by $l0 a week ol more in some states-which wil hike the WPA wage well abov, the prevailing wage well abov' the prevailing wage level fo private employment. As a by product, this will mean that south. ern cities will have to pay nor, of their own money for WPA projects.
 For there is still another diff. culty ahead. On Jan. l, $l of loca money must be put up to match each 8 put up by WPA. Since the proportion of sponsors con. tributions has been rising steadily of late, this will not change the picture much in most parts of the country.
 But 1t may mean utter break. down of work relief in the great industrial cities, where the money to meet this added cost Is mol available. Cities like Chicago Angeles, San Francisco, St. Louis Cleveland, New York, Detroit, Los
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-08-02

An effort has been made this year to provide program of complete health supervision by combining the summer round-ups and well child conferences in towns where both functions were previously car- ried on, according to the weekly bulletin of the State Department of Health. Although 1t will be neces- sary to continue the summer round- ups in some towns until such a complete program can be made available, it is hoped that ulti- mately one general program will reach all children.
 At the 79 summer round-ups held this year throughout the state, the bulletin reported that 1,7o9 pre-
