Sept p the NJ. +. Jrs. were cer-
tainly in "rustling and bust
ling" condition. This being the
day of the Singing Festival,
everyone of our club. members
were busy in trying to get mat
ters running as smoothly as pos
sible; l must say, this took Co.
operation with a capital &C." for
a club so small as ours. - ~

that more clubs did not partici-
pate in this event. in which every
club could have shown their
meaning of the real Saxon spirit.
To Youngstown ..

praise to Youngstown for their
courage in participating in this
affair. You have shown us what
a really grand bunch you are,

The T. s. ]. A. Officers held a
meeting at the Cleveland East
SachSenhelm. last Sunday. Oct.
9th. Present at this meeting were
the Chairman anil Secretary of
the National Committee of the
Central Veiband. The discussion
at this meeting concerned many
small problems Of the Juniors Or
ganization, but the main part of
the meeting centercd on the Con-
ference Plan that was first in
troduced in Alliance. O., in the
early part of this year.
The original idea of the Con-
ference has been slightly altered.
Instead of having three meetings
on the same day in different loca-
llt,cs. only one meeting will be
held in a certain District.
The first of these District Con-
tercnces is scheduled in Home
stead. Pa. on October 10Th. Sat.
at 200 p. NJ. Invitations to this
Conference arc being sent to the
Clubs in the Eastern Section of
the T. 5. !. A.. namely: Martins
Ferry. Farrell. Monaco, Ellwood
City. New Castle, Homestead.
Should the outcome of this meet
ing prove successful, other Con-
ferenccs will be held, in other
sections of the country.
Homestead has been selected
as the site of the First meeting.
because it is felt BY the National
Committee and the Association
Officers that progress towards re-
building that group, and the ELL
wood City Club. and strengthen
ing the others. can be made How
ever, it is absolutely necessary
that each club be represented,
and be represented by individuals
who really have the interests of
Saxon Junior Club at heart.
The National Committee has
expressed it's willingness to help
enlarge the T. 5. !. A.. and so the
Committee is uniting with the
Association Ofncers to carry our
plans that are believed to be very
beneficial to each club and every
member in the Organization.

months, many articles have been

''IotI tIpNtIO'' 1 10y dill
written by reporters Of various
clubs concerning "Co-operation'
Sometimes it becomes necessary
to remind certain of these repor-
ters to consult Webster's Dictio-
nary for the meaning of that
word.
Because of working conditions.
it has been almost impossible for
the Association Officers to even
hold meetings. To date, not one
meeting has been held where all
of the Officers were present at
the same time Because of this,
mistakes will be made and hardly
can be avoided. The Convention
in Detroit elected the people they
thought would be best suited for
the positions. The officers are do
ing their best. and with the help
asked by them, will prove that
no mistakes were made in De-
troit. They realize that Canton is
holding a Concert on the same
night as the meeting scheduled
for Homestead. but due to the
nearncss of the Basketball sea-
son is has become necessary to
have the meeting at the earliest
possible date Other meetings
may be held so as to conflict
enough to realize that the Asso-
citation as whole needs general
bolstering, and needs it very soon
We must face actual facts and not
beat around the bush. Something
is happening throughout every
club that is disrupting the for
ward movement of the Saxon
Youth. To wait much longer
would only hasten the complete
disintegration of our Organiza-
! ton.
Two weeks ago the officers
; were severely criticised by a re-
| porter for not being at certain
affair. At the same time tbrat this
affair was being held. three of the
officers were together in New
Castle. re-arranging the Basket
ball Schedule. due to a, a,slight mix
up on some of the games. To the
person responsible for that article
| (and | do not mean the reporter
| who sent it in), word to the
wise is sufficient. If you are wise.
please refrain from any future
mistakes. The entire group of Of
fcers. every one of them, have
the interest of the Association
very much at heart and the work
that they are trying to do is the
best action taken by any group of
officers to date in the History of
the Organization.
The clubs invited to the Home
stead Conference are asked to try
to arrive on time, so as to allow
those who find it necessary to re-
turn home for work on ample time
to do so. This meeting will not be
a failure. should even only one
club be represented. But. it will
be another error on the part of
the groups not represented. The
Conference held in Alliance had
it's success in its outcome. Mat
ters discussed at that gathering
proved valuable material to car
ry on.

DIR. King Gives Report Of Ac-
tivities of Dept. For The
Past Nine Months.

During the past nine months,
the services of the Ashe county
health Department have been
highly varied and extensive, ac-
cording to the quarterly report
recently submitted by DIR. Ro-
bert B. King, district health Of
ficer.
The services are divided into
thirteen classifications, and in
clude, communicable disease con-
troll, venereal disease control, tu-
berculosis control, maternity SER
vice, infant and !. pre-school hy-
giene, morbidity service, crippled
children, general sanitation, pro-
lection of food and milk, labora-
tory tests, eye clinics.
The report shows that during
the nine months a total of 1882
vaccinations were given and in
cluded diphtheria, smallpox, ty-
phoid, and whooping cough.
The full report is as follows:
Communicable Disease Centrol
This division takes in all OF the
work done in visiting such dl-
seases as measles, diphtheria, ty-
phoid fever, ETC., and the estab-
lishment of guarantees, as well
as the immunization of people
against these diseases. We have
been fortunate in having a very
small number of cases of such dl-
seases, so far this year. Only
eleven have been admitted to
service and all Of these were
scarlet fever.
Immunizations, or vaccinations
shows quite a large number, and
are divided as follows: Diph-
liberia, five-hundred eighty-six;
Smallpox, two thousand one
hundred and forty-five and
Whooping cough, nineteen.
Venereal Disease Control
This much-needed work has
been carried on under difficulties
for much of the year, but the
department now has much more
commodious quarters and we ex-
pect to do more in this depart
ment in the future. The nine
months show that total of eight
hundred and thirty visits to the
clinic have been made, eight
hundred and twenty-five treat
ments for syphilis have been Civ
en-, also sixty field visits were
made.
Tuberculosis Control
This is a disease that has had
more effort in both time and mo-
ney spent on its control through
out the United States than any
other single item in the health
program, and it has been salts
factorily demonstrated that tub
erculosis can be controlled. To-
wards this end one hundred and
eleven visits have been made, one
hundred and nine X-rays have
been taken, one hundred and
fourteen field and eleven office
nursing visits made. Two pa
tients have been admitted to
Sanitorium as we'll as a few other
unclassified services rendered.
Maternity Service
Here is a field where much
education on the part Of the gen
eral public is needed. Deaths and
suffering will occur even in the
most modern of maternity hos
pitfalls, but even in such a rural
county as ours there is no reason
why every pregnant woman
should not have a thorough ex-
animation early in her pregnan-

ed, but the response has been
most discouraging. Fifty-one Wo-
men have been admitted to nurs-
ing service before delivery and
fifty-six after delivery, many OF
these being duplicated in these
figures. Eighty-three field and
fourteen office nursing visits
were made and seventy-one field
and nursing visits after delivery.
! Fifty-seven visits were made for
the supervision of midwives who
are not supposed to practice un-
less in possession of license not
over year old. There is a great
need for education in this group.
Infant and PreschoOl Hygiene
Fifty-three of these were regis
tered for nursing service under
one year of age and eleven OF
preschool age. One hundred and
eighty-five field nursing visits
were made to these children other
than the calls made at the de-
partment office where many were
examined and irnmunized against
communicable diseases.
School Hygiene
Five hundred and fifty-eight
examinations and inspections
were done on school children, fol-
lowed up with one hundred and
At field visits to discuss problems
found. Eight public talks made.
This is one of the largest
services we have, and is one that
bears most fruit as the child is
more ready to receive new ideas
than many of the older group of
the population.
This classification takes in
those of the adult group who
come in for a check up for no
particular disease, but largely to
find out if anything is the mat
ter, or because of regulations COW
ering their particular work. Here
we have examined sixty-one
foodhandlers, fifty-nine teachers
and one hundred and eight 9TH
ers, many of these being for diff
ferent federal agencies. The
teachers made a splendid show
ing as to their health and this
was probably the most general
examination of this group that
had ever been done in the coun
ty.
Morbidity Service
This, of course, refers to SER
vice to the sick, and while the
Public Health workers are not
supposed to enter in to the cura-
tive side of medicine, there are
times when the need is so great
of circumstances so pressing that
we have to render some of this
type of service. ThirtytWo per-
sons were admitted to medical
service and eleven to nursing
service with forty-three clinic
visits. A total of five hundred and
fifty-four office and field nurs-
ing and field visits were made
and ten individuals were hospi-
talized, thees spending a total Of
one hundred and twenty-one
days in the hospitals.
Crippled Children
This is work that appeals to
almost everyone who has any
thing to do with it, and we are
securing clinics started in our
territory that we hope to con-
tinue on as long as there is a
child left to need the service. The
Rotary Club is sponsor for the
Ashe County clinic and it is to
be held every two months, alter
mating with our neighboring
county of Watauga. Twenty-Five
children have been admitted to
the medical service in the clinics
with fifty-two visits made to eli
MICS, one hundred and sixty-nine
nursing visits made, forty-seven
