Teams of Public Health Lay
Committee and Parent Teacher AS
ISOLATION members in various areas
of the County are assisting nurses
and teachers this year with school
physical inspections and check-ups.
This year examinations must be
limited to those who have been
previously inspected by nurses and
teachers, and who appear to be in
special need of examination.
A special effort will be made this
year to have parents present when
children are examined by doctors.
Last year only 22% of the parents
were present and our County re-
ceived a rating of poor on this
item of the evaluation schedule
(Honor RolD.
Parents cooperation in securing
the necessary medical attention to
correct any defects found in the
medical examination is also highly
important. Sometime children are
hampered in their school work or
suffer severe handicaps before they
receive attention. Diseased tonsils
and adenoids, for example, may
cause deafness Miss Helen Collins,
the lip-reading teacher employed
by the Board of Education, tells Of
one boy in the County whose hear
ing was impaired until his tonsils
and adenoids were removed. Three
months afterward tests showed
that he had regained normal hear
ing.

or the home of the first Bentley.
1t is little uncertain whether
John Bentley came to Chester
County directly from England or
came down from Connecticut. 1t
is known that the first John settled
in the south eastern part of the
county, nearly on the Delaware
River in 1701, and moved up near
Brandywine in 1925.
Jack and / helped Mr.. Brinton
and DR.. James to locate the old
foundation, almost covered with
underground. and the site of the
old spring house, now little more
than depression in the ground,
from which water was still trick
ling.
We also visited several old
graveyards but we did not find any
stones marked Bentley. One for
which Jeffry had given the ground
was overgrown with underbrush
and briars, full of ground hog
holes and inhabited by chiggers-we
found out later. A few headstones
near the entrance, without name
or date, probably marked the re-
mains of some of our forefathers,
as it seems certain that both John
and Jeffry and their wives were
buried there.
Before we left for home on the
third day, Mr.. Brinton drove us
into West Chester to show us the
West Chester Historical Society's
building and the Eli Bentley Clock
which he had given them. The
building itself is INTELLECTUALLY
beautiful and probably cost about
$4,000. 1t had in it almost every
conceivable thing used in the homes
of the county from the earliest
days to the present. To me it was
even more interesting than the
Smithsonian for all those things
were the relics of Chester County
Old dresses and furbilows; q
complete kitchen, dining room OF
colonial days, a wheelright shop
and all the old tools used from
these early days to the present
We saw relics of Mad Anthony
Wayne and the more recent Gen.
Smedley T. Butler. 1t would have
taken days to rightly enjoy the
place.
After seeing the Historical build
ing in Carroll County and this one
it made us really ashamed that
Montgomery County where we
have just started an Historical
Society has no place to call its own
with possibilities for museum as
good as either one Of these.
We then babe Mr.. Brinton an
appreciative goodbye and headed
for Baltimore and home but not to
rest for that night the chiggers
commenced to get in their work on
both Jack and myself and how
they can make one itchl 1t was
three days before they got enough
Bentley blood to call a halt. After
all it would not do to have too
perfect a time in this world of
ours; a little vitriol, it seems must
be mixed with the greatest plea
sures Of life.

On March II. 1895. Duryea

BY WARD SCHULTZ

The campaign to expand use
of aluminium and magnesium in

Quoted by the Senate Small
Business Committee has re-
vealed some interesting develop
ments for the broad application
of these lightweight metals.
Prominent among these is their
use in transportation such as
passenger automobiles, trucks
and buses.
w. s. James. chief engineer
Of Studebaker Corp, however.
in his testimony before the COM
mittee emphasized that for alu-
minum to replace steel in pas
Senger car production there
must be sharp reduction in
price OF the light metal. 1t was
his opinion that in order TO SUBJ
stltute aluminium for steel with
out an increase in total cost of
the basic materials used, IL
would have 10 be purchased for
less than y cents a pound. at
though price of Ia cents a
pound would encourage the use
Of aluminium in automobiles. At
the low price this would repre-
sent drop of 70 per cent from
present level Of Is cents a pound
fef aluminium and and at the ~ Il
cent figure, a drop of so per
cent.
Those familiar with aluminium
production see no likelihood of
any such drop in the price as
il is intrinsically a more expen-
sive metal 10 produce. Since the
war started, the aluminium price
has been reduced 25 per cent
from the 20 cent a pound pre-
war quotation.

of first cost but through economy
