The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-04-30

One of Waterbury's most worthy civic projects, the annual Bantam Lake summer camp for girls and boys of Waterbury suffering from infantile paralysis, bone and gland ailments, and other disabilities, will open its seventh season shortly un- der the direction and sponsorship of the Waterbury Lions Club.
 This year, because of the growing demands for more sleeping quarters to accommodate additional worthy cases, the Lions club has undertak- en the task of building an addition. al wing, which, when finished, will provide for 20 extra children.
 Each summer scores of worthy cases are selected by the Farm Trustee Committee, which in turn makes provision to give these boys and girls the much needed physical conditioning they need, over period of from two to 8 weeks.
 Last year the board sent 1W to the camp.
 It is in connection with the Lions

councillors, cook, nurse and camp help.
 The great responsibility of build ing up the broken bodies of the lt- tie tots falls on the shoulders of these people. They have always done their job well, thus sharing in large measure for the success of the camp.
 The Farm Trustee Board under the able leadership of E. Norton Decker and the Maintenance Com. mittee headed by the equally rcon- potent James A. Phelan, have been working on the building program for over three months. The contract for its construction has already been let.
 Dr. Glenn D. Sweet, George Ba. ronian and Merwin Bronson are the other members of the Board. James Curtin and John Phelan are the other members Of the Maintenance Committee.
 J. Sidney Pearson, for the past three years has been the camp di- rector and piloted the Bantam Lake Farm through the Initial years. Lion pr. John Freiheit and his associates have examined each child each year, before going to camp, and have made periodic checkups during the summer. Their work has been in- valuable.
 This year we have pr. Edward J. | Godfrey and Dr. s, w. Jennes as cooperating physicians. The Chase Dispensary, St. Mary's Hospital, Wa terbury Hospital, and the Visiting Nurses Association are cooperating with us this year as in the past in the selection of children to be sent to camp.
 To the late Layton Rose, Water. bury owes real debt of gratitude. It was his guiding hand that kept this work going five and six years ago.
 Past Presidents Adolph Reymond, Robert Lagerquist, William Taylor, and Harry Cashin together with all the members of the club have also played big part"
 Tn conclusion, MT. Millar outlined the present plan of the Lions club to raise funds for the camp. The club has organized weekly games, all members have indicated their inten- tions to contribute liberally to the fund in addition to the clubs con- tribution, and 1t is the hope of the finance committee, headed by Charles Greenblatt, that the public will contribute the balance. All contributions, no matter how small, will be gratefully accepted. Remember" said MT. Milar, 1t takes only 50 cents to feed one child for one day."

EVERY CITIZEN
 FACING TASK
Children Entitled to Health Facilities-Essentials
 Outlined By Nurse

It is the responsibility of every citizen to see that adequate health facilities are provided for every child in every town in Connecticut, Ruth Olson, R. N., Public Health Nursing Consultant, Bureau of Child Hygiene, said today in the weekly broadcast of the State Department of Health. Important essentials for promoting child health are:
 1. Regular weighing and meas uring to note rate of growth.
 2. Periodic physical examination to appraise growth and development and to detect physical defects when they first appear and when correc. ton is a relatively simple procedure.
 3. Periodic dental examinations and care of the teeth.
 {. Protection against childhood diseases by vaccination or inocula- ton.
 5. Advice on nutritional prob lens to ensure optimuin growth of bones, teeth and body tissues.

ity as well as physical health.
 That provision of child health services constitutes @ vital part of the genral community health plan Is given national emphasis the first of May each year. This Is cele- brated as Child Health Day by proclamation of the President of the United States and statements by the governors of each of the States. May Day offers parents and the general public an especial op. portunity to consider what has ale ready been accomplished and what still remains to be done to safe. guard and improve the health of children.
 Ideally, every child should be placed under the care of g private physician at birth and should con. tinue to receive regular health sue pervision from him throughouh growth, according to Miss Olson.
 Such private medical and dental care may not be available to all children, 1t was emphasized. To supply this need well child confer. ences are held at regular intervals In nearly every community where mothers may bring their children from birth up to six years for regus lar health supervision and assist- arlce toward healthy growth.
 In the May Day proclamation for i04i. President Roosevelt called upon the people of each con1nn,in. ity of the nation on that day to review the extent to which they are providing for children, nutritis ous food, healthful recreation, efs fective health supervision, and ads equate medical care, and to plan how such protection can be extends ed to all children.

Recent Appeal to Public Brings Funds for Erection of New Dormitory-President Millar Outlines

 Said he:

 It might be of interest to you to know just how the camp operates. The Lions Club names a Farm Trus. tee Board composed of 1 members who are responsible for the entire camp operation. They in turn ape point Q Maintenance Committee whose duty 1t is to have the build- ings in readiness, make necessary repairs and have all equipment set up and in working order.

BABY'S IMPLANTED
 EYES DANGEROUS

Many babies within two or three days after birth, occasionally later have what is commonly known as sore eyes, or as the mothers say "have caught cold In their eyes," This condition is reportable by law in most of the states. The eyelids become reddened and swollen and in very few hours pus (matter) is seen in abundance. All such cases must be energetically and skillfully treated at home by Q trained physi- clan. Neglect and carelessness may result in the loss of the baby's sight. While waiting for the doctor to come, bathe the eyes hourly with Q saturated solution of boric acid.

"From the first" General Fleming
said, "the division has taken the po-
sition that a substantial amount of
non-retail selling would nullify the
retail exemption for any establish

istrator we interpreted Substantial in
this respect as more than so per cent.
Subsequently the United States Court
of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit est.
Louis) handed down an opinion that
the wage and hour law, as an hu-
manitarian law, is entitled to liberal
construction and that exemptions from
it are subject to strict construction.
The First Circuit Court (Boston) said
the same thing.
New Interpretation Made
"Many wholesalers complained about
the competitive wholesale service that
retailers not under the 40-hour week
were able to provide. So we are now
regarding Substantial non-retail sell
ing as more than 25 per cent. We will
not regard establishments with more
than 25 per cent non-retail sales as
exempt from the 40-hour week and the
30-cent minimum wage.
"At the same time we are acknowl-
edging the retail character of many
sales to industrial and commercial
firms which always have been consid-
cred retail in the trades. | believe
this will do much to make our enforce
ment policy more acceptable to firms
engaged in distributing goods"
Department Stores Exempt
The typical department store will
continue to be exempt, it was said.

operations these sales seldom ap-
proach 25 per cent of total sales

though the chain spreads into several
states.
