Relief Rolls Will
Be Investigated

Periodic investigation of the rolls
of relief employees on WPA projects
will start this week, S. L. Stolte
State WPA Administrator, announced
Each case will be investigated at least
once every six months and persons
found not to be in actual need will
be eliminated. The purpose of this
review, required by Section 16-F OF
the Emergency Relief Appropriation
Act of 1889, is to determine the cur
rent need status of persons en-
ployed on projects and is not to
effect reductions in employment. The
Act stipulates that, effective January
1, 1910, no person can remain in WPA
employment whose need has not been
reviewed in the preceding six
months.
This review will be conducted by
County Welfare offices and will be
supervised by the WPA. 1t is ex-
pected that in the majority of cases
home investigations will be made.

News Review
BY GEORG STRANDvOLD

Tomorrow it will be just one year
since Neville Chamberlain, prime
minister of the British empire, ar
rived at Godesberg on his second
visit to Adolf Hitler-paving the
way for the conference at Munich
where these two gentlemen, seconded
by Edouard Daladier of France and
Benito Mussolini of Italy, carved the
Sudentenland out of Czechoslovakia
and gave it to Germany. In this
smooth and easy way Hitler was
presented with. the opportunity Of
completing the job half year later
when he took all of Czechoslovakia
At that time there were some who
passionately lauded Chamberlain ano
the others for having preserved
peace" and Chamberlain himself
boosted that peace would be secure

fectly sure, he signed with Hitler g
treaty to the effect that there could

County Nurse Is
Conducting Her
School Contacts
Cooperation of All Schools
and Homes is Requested
by Miss KarlsOn.

Miss Virginia Karlson, county pub
lie health nurse, has started the year.
| ly inspections and has found that
to reach the greater number of the
people the best method is through
the medium of the schools. Here
through the interest, cooperation and
support of the superintendent, prin-
cipals and teachers lies an excellent
field for teaching health and health
measures. She was pleased on drop
ping in on one of the rural districts,
to find the class engaged in their
Health unit, and learning the basis
of good health. This was in district
So near Willow River, and she was
convinced that that teacher was lay
ing foundation for good health, both
physical and mental for her pupils.
What excellent opportunities teachers
have, she says. They are the ones
who see the pupils the greater part
of the day, and must know the rules
of health indeed, for she is often in
strumental in stopping the spread
of contagious diseases and has an
excellent field to teach the basis of
good health habits, proper diet, hab-
its of cleanliness, good food habits,
regular medical and dental care.
Wide Scope of Work.
The Public Health Nurse, while
concerned with the individual direct
ly, works with the community well
fare in mind, and thinks in terms of
the individual as part of the family,
community, county, state and nation.
Health and all the social and eco
nomic factors which affect health,
is her major concern. The nurse as
a part of her community, attempts to
help secure early medical diagnosis
and treatment; render or secure nurs-
ing care for the sick; teach through
demonstration and supervision the
care given by friends and relatives;
assist the family in carrying out
medical, sanitary and social pro-
cedures for the prevention of dis
ease and the promotion of health;
refer families in need to proper agen-
cies; share in the community action

conditions.
For Better Health.
In short the Public Health Nurse
strives, through the members of the
community, for best health for all,
the expectant mother, the new baby,
the school child, the young adult and
the aged.
Such a plan can be worked out
in Pine county, where we have some
10000 people, through organized
community effort. Health is not only
the duty of the doctor and the den
fist but the responsibility rests on
all parents, teachers and pupils
themselves Miss Karlson would ap-
preciate any suggestion any one may
have to offer.
