Health Ward
Information furnished by Pine County
Nursing Service.

The Hinckley P.TA. has decided
to sponsor summer roundup, to
secure correction of defects of the
children who will be entering school
the next year or two. Local physicians
and dentists are participating. The
children are to go to their offices
for examination and work. Mrs.
John Whyte is chairman, and Miss
Grace Toering and Mrs. Eggen, coun-
ty nurse, are all working to make
this success. The nurse will weigh
and measure the children and give
them the eye test she gives the
Nschool children. This is worthwhile
project for any organization, for if
our school children are healthy and
well nourished, free from deformi-
ties, diseased teeth and tonsils, they
do better work in school and recover
from childhood diseases more easily.
Plans are being made to have
the WPA housekeeper help in homes
where mothers are planning home
deliveries. We have only the one
worker, but eligible families are
welcome to her services if needed.
Mrs. Eggen is working on the
school inspections which have been
done during the past year. This sum-
mer, the nurse will make visits to
follow-up the work, and see if cor
rections can be made. There are
too many underweight, malnourished
children in our county. Parents are
to watch their children's weight.
Charts can be secured from the
teachers or from the nurse, so that
parents can see if their children are
making a steady gain in weight.
All subcommittee are urged to
keep in mind the meeting with the
Carlton county group to be held in
Moose Lake June Is. We will try to
make arrangements for transportation
and all the subcommittee women
are invited.
Women from Askov, Kerrick and
Nickerson and vicinity are to con-
tact Mrs. Murphy or Mrs. Wahlquist
so that we may know how many to
plan on.
On Friday, July Is, the Sturgeon
Lake ladies will entertain the north
west subcommittee members at
picnic at Sand Lake at Mrs. Kenneth
Gays cabin Members of this COM
mittee are looking forward to this
with good deal of pleasure.
