GERMAN PRODUCTION SCARED

American output was limited to around 100000 tons a year. all though U s. zinc consumption in 1938 = the year before the war - amounted to 26.6 percent of the to- tai world production. Britain, in the same pre-war year, was held down to 61,938 tonS-a considerable reduction of its 1887 output.
 But while Germany was allotted five percent of the world output, it paid no attention to this quota and boosted its production to F percent, or 212,0OO tons, in 1888 And it has increased production every year since.
 Moreover. as result of it's Pol ish and Belgian conquests, Ger many now has all their zinc smell ters (they belonged to the carteD and is operating them full blast for the Nazi war machine. An in- teresting angle is the fact that the Polish smelters are owned by 8 leading U. s. producer, a member of the cartel in both Poland ane the U.S.A.

Health Ward
Information furnished by Pine County
Nursing Service.

The children in the following dis
trict have been inspected by Miss
Virginia Karlson during the past
week: 1874, lit, AZ, 81, q, 18 and
1875 Home visits were made. A few
cases of chicken pox were discovered
but cases of influenza are subsiding;
however, there are some children
and adults with pneumonia and sinus
infections following influenza that
have been called on. 1t pays to take
care of yourself and miss a day or
two from work or school while you
are i'll than to suffer from the con-
sequences of your cold" later. Pre-
vention is cheaper and better than
cure.
Better Food, Better Health.
The surplus and hot lunch projects
are doing much for the general and
dental health of our children, but
parents are urged to remember that
good prenatal care, and proper feed
ing of baby will make for good
teeth, strong bones, and resistance
to infections. If every baby was
given codliver oil, and fed plenty of
milk, vegetables, eggs and later on
meat, fish and liver, if children have
less cake, cookies and other sweets,
our children would have better teeth,
better health, there would be fewer
half sick children in our schools.
Visits were made to a mother who
was an arrested case of tuberculosis,
just home from the sanatorium. She
and the other members of the fami-
ly must take precautions to prevent
this from becoming active by guard
ing the health of the mother. All
members of the family have been
given the Mantoux test which was
negative, which means that the chill
dren SO far had not been infected
with the tuberculosis germ from this
source. When the Mantoux is positive,
the infection is almost always found
in the home or in the teacher, or
playmates in the school.
Most Schools Took Test.
In Pine county, however, we know
that most of our rural and town
teachers took the Mantoux test, and
that none of them have tuberculosis.
School boards would be wise to in
sist that their teachers, janitors, and
bus drivers be Mantoux-tested, so
that no child will be exposed to tu-
berculosis in this way.
The east central and north sub
committees are to meet this week
in the afternoon on Wednesday, in
Markville; the other either in Bruno
or Kerrick. 1t is hoped We have
a good attendance at these meetings.
To Vote on County Nurse.
It has just come to our attention
that the question of continuing our
County Nursing Service is to be
submitted to a popular vote at the
coming town meetings in the county
on March II, and we are much
alarmed lest the service be lost be-
cause the matter has not been adj
vertised or properly brought to the
attention of the public.
The service has proved of
great public benefit during recent
years, and is generally approved and
appreciated by the people of the
county, so that a countrywide vote on
the question should be overwhelming
Iy in favor of its continuance, pro-
vided that the people of the county
are informed that such a vote is to
be taken.
