The Parent-Teacher Association
has always co-operated 100 per cent
in child health activities and has
made an enviable record for itself
in the promotion of the summer
roundup" "a parent-teacher in
spired project. Last week Mrs. R. M.
Graham, State chairman of the
summer roundup" held an i'm
portant meeting of local presidents
and chairmen, when instruction was
given in the proper and effective
use Of visual charts used in the
health examinations. Much pre-
hminary work is needed SO that the
spring health program may be as
effective as possible and may pro-
ceed with a minimum of delay.
Our Nation is becoming increas-
ingly health conscious and this
years program will provide new
avenues for assimilating desirable
health knowledge. We are becoming
familiar with vitamins and their
uses. We know vitamin B1 is neceS-
sary to maintain proper energy and
we are welcoming the Nationwide
program to enrich bakery products
and -four with this vitamin.
Physical Fitness Stressed.
Undoubtedly there will be a new
note of urgency injected into the
program at the May Day dinner,
the urgency to learn as much as
possible about proper diets and
proper health habits. For while our
Nation is preparing its ornaments
it is also preparing its citizenry to
regard it as national obligation to
keep physically fit" Unless a ma
ton Is strong physically; unless its
general health-physical, mental and
lIlOI dl-lS SOodr OH Vi lllC Ai1ii-
made ornaments in the world cam
not complete the national prepared
ness for which we are striving.
