Health Ward
Information furnished by Pine County
Nursing Service.

Tuesday evening of last week Miss
Laura Nelson, county nurse, spoke
at the Parent-Teachers Association
meeting in Rutledge, the topic being
Safety in the Home. Last year
there were $4,000 fatal accidents in
homes in the United States, 100000
p er I'm a n n t disabilities and over
100000 minor injuries. Falls lead
as the first cause and burns and
ca S follow. Asphyxiation and
poisoning also take high toll. Some
of the things to remember in order
to eliminate these accidents are:
l. Be sure that steps are cleared
of household utensils, toys and other
articles which may clutter up stair
way.
2. Pick up and put in place all
toys and furniture before extinguish-
ing the light, so that no one will trip
over them in the night.
3. Teach children the danger of
matches and fire and do not let them
handle hot pans on the stove. Most
accidents could be prevented, there
fore it is well to check up on hazards
in the home before winter sets in.
Vaccination at Bruno.
The vaccination and immunization
for the Bruno school children will
be given November 6 instead of Oc-
tober % as previously announced.
The delay is made in order to publi-
cize this activity more so that more
might avail themselves of this op-
portunity. It is very important that
all children, and especially under
six years of age, be immunized and
vaccinated. Also any adult wishing
to have this protection may have it
done at the same low price, SOC for
each. DIR. w. c. Ehmke of Willow
River, will be at the Bruno school
at p. m. on November 6.
The Nor theas st subcommittee
which includes Askov, Bruno, Ker-
rick, Duquette, Markville and Nick
erson have planned a meeting at
Askov for November at 2 p. m.
DR.. Hartley of the State Health de-
partment, will speak. His subject
will be "The Approaching Memo
pause. All women are invited to
attend this lecture, which will be at
the Legion hall.
| It is interesting and gratifying to
note the interest taken in health
projects by various organizations. The
All Club at Cloverton is working out
a project in nutrition. Mrs. Earl
Jones is the leader of this group.
This project will be developed dur
ing the winter.
Housekeeping Aides.
There have been so many calls for
WPA housekeeping aides for Pine
county that Mrs. Hilda H. Stevens,
supervisor, visited here Wednesday
of last week. She talked to Mrs.
Portia Gum of Pine City, member
of the welfare board, to see if enough
women could qualify to make it worth
while. She came to Hinckley to see
the county nurse and inquired about
cases that Miss Nelson has come in
contact with. Mrs. E. B. Linsley,
secretary of the nursing committee,
met with the nurse and Mrs. Stevens.
1t was decided that the nursing COM
mittee discuss this at their next meet
ing and make arrangements to meet
at the next Welfare board meeting,
and explain to them that these wo-
men, after they are trained, would be
very valuable in this work.
Housekeeping aides work the WPA
regulation hours of 120 hours per
month. This is scheduled into six
Askov American., 1941-10-30

and seven-hour working days. Aides
take one-half hour for lunch period,
and are to bring their own lunches.
They have other rules and regulations
to meet. Mrs. Stevens is a very
energetic and pleasant person to meet
and it is hoped that she can establish
this service in Pine county. It can
only be had under the instruction
and supervision of a registered nurse.

300 See Statesmen Triumph
In Wocky Ball Game for C. Charity
Nine Old Men Nosed Out, l7-l6;
Line Ups Abound With Big Names

tive Fish on first, Representative AL
len of Illinois pitching and Repre-
sentatives O'Brien and O'Toole of
New York and Bishop of Illinois and
Senator La Toilette in the outfleld.
The lineup was changed contin-
uouSly throughout the game, be-
cause there was plenty of reserve
strength from Capitol Hill on hand.
Clark Griffith, president of the
Washington Nationals, visited the
premises during the game. reported
ly seeking talent for his last-place
team.
Big Train Opening Pitcher.
Mr.. Thomas crew of Nine Old
Men" actually there were about
Is and not too old had Walter
johnson, the erstwhile Big Train
of major league baseball, as its
opening pitcher. Mr.. johnson ad-
mitted his arm wasn't what it used
to be and he retired to first base
after a few innings. Homer Croy,
the writer, finished the pitching.
Frank Buck, who used to bring
'em back alive, had difficulty getting
himself around the bases in the hot
afternoon sun. but Munro Leaf
author of Ferdinand the Bull" has
plenty of energy. On one trip to
the plate he succeeded in making a
home run on bunt with a batch
of errors by the Statesmen thrown
i'm.
Later in the game, when Repre-
sentative Hill of Washington was
at bat all of the Mine Old Men"
infield moved in to within 20 feet of
the plate. So Mr.. Hill just dumped
a hit over their heads.
Time Called for Soft Drink.
The game got wackier as it went
along. Ed Allen tried to catch fly
balls in basket. The game was
held up while Mr.. Leaf slipped soft
drink and then passed the bottle
around to his teammates.
The unnpiring was in good hands.
Admiral Emory S. Land, chairman
Of the Maritime Commission, called
them at first base; Undersecretary
of Commerce Wayne Taylor was the
arbiter at third base and Toby
Miller of the Officers Club umpired
behind the plate.
The United States Marine Band,
under direction of Capt. William H.

BY JOHN H. Cassidy, Jr.


In an epic Softball game as wacky
as any ever committed in these
parts, a group of legislators dis
guised as athletes yesterday defeat
ed an aggregation OF nationally
known authors, news commenta-
tors, humorists and sports writers,
17-16, before 1900 amused specta-
tors at Griffith Stadium.
At any rate that was the score the
Statesmen" as Representative Fish
dubbed his team, claimed and
probably will have inserted in the
Congressional Record.
What they probably won't report
in the Record is the bald fact that,
at the end of a regulation seven
inning game, the Statesmen found
themselves on the short end of a
14-11 score, and that only because
they threatened to outlaw softball,
authors, humorists, etc, was the
game permitted to go two more
innings.
In the extra innings, the States
men" allegedly scored six more runs,
while Lowell Thomas Nine Old
Men" were able to get only two.
There were various versions OF the
final score, but the Statesmen pre-
vailed chiefly because of their SUI
perior numbers.
Many Notables on Hand.
AS a matter of fact, there were
almost as many Senators and Rep
resentatives on the premises as GUS
toners. The crowd was somewhat
disappointing, considering the num-
Der of notables on hand.
But it was all good, clean fun
and for a good cause. Proceeds
which Mr. Fish estimated would be
between $4,000 and s3,000-will go
to American charities, among them
the Home for Incurables and Emer-
gency Hospital here.
Most famous member Of the
Statesmen was Vice President Wal
lace, who delighted the customers by
bashing out two hits. running the
bases like mad and playing cred
liable game at shortstop before re-
firing at the end of the third in
ming.
Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin,
distinguished member of distin-
guished family, further distinguished
himself by being the first States
man to strike out. On his next trip
to the plate, however, the Senator
got hit.
Stratton Leads Uprising.
Sixty-one-year -old Representa-
live LambertSon of Kansas replaced
Vice President Wallace at shortstop
and proceeded to show up some of
his more youthful colleagues. But
it remained for the. baby" of the
House, 27-year-old William G..
Stratton of Illinois, to lead the late
inning uprising which brought VIC
tory to the Statesmen.
The opening lineup of the States
men had Senator Mead of New
York on third, the Vice President at
shortstop, Senator Wallgren Of
Washington on second, Representa-
