State Official Is
Speaker dt
Council Meeting

1.-THE health of the child has
become the responsibility of a
whole team of people-par-
ents, school, professions and
buSiness,-Who should work to-
gether," Miss K. Elizabeth An
derson, director, division Of
public health education, state
board Of health, Helena, said
in a talk before members of
the Hardin Health council
Thursday, Sept. 90.
Miss Anderson, who was in
troduced by Miss Clementine
Sittel said there hes been a de-
cided change in the health
program during the past 10
years. There has been a change
in the part played by teachers,
who are now being trained to
do things formerly done by the
school nurse. When a need is
discovered. efforts are made to
do something about it through
the nurse in her home vista
tionS.
In closing she said no group
could accomplish everything,
but the point is to determine
what the community, school or
children need most and work
toward that end.
Mrs. Helen Olenik, who rep
resented the council at the
state health planning meeting
in Helena recently, gave a re-
port. She stated % health
councils, including Hardin, have
been set up throughout the
state, ten of which are func-
tioning.
A demonstration Of the nurse
teacher conference as it would
occur In a regular school sit
uation was given bv Miss Betty
v. Christensen, health nurse,
and Miss Tallman, second grade
teacher of st. Xavier.

ident of the council LET

Vaccination Team
Services
AT Three Schools

"A team consisting of one
doctor and one public health
nurse of the Indian Service
will be in Big Horn county o.
tober 4 to 10 to give BEG (Ba-
illus-Calmette-G uerin) vaccin-
atoms in three schools, it was
announced this week by L. C.
Lippert, superintendent of the
Crow Indian reservation.
The tests and vaccinations
will be available at the Crow
Agency, Lodge Grass and WyO-
la schools to both Indian and
white children, the superinten-
dent said. Vaccinations were
offered at Crow Agency and
Lodge Grass last year and Wy
ola has been added this year.
According to plans for the
vaccinations, which are carried
out on a nationwide scale by
the Bureau Of Indian Affairs
and Public Health Service, the
team will usually visit a school
on a Wednesday for prelfmin-
airy testing, returning on Friday
to interpret tests. Children who
react to the test will not need
vaccination. Those who do not
react to the first test will be
reteSted.
The following Monday pupils
who received the second test
will be checked and those who
did not react will be vaccinat-
ed.
Vaccine will not be given to
all who fail to react to the
tests; the presence of extern
sive skin disorders, celebrating
conditions from various causes,
obvious illness, recent immu-
nization for communicable di-
Seases, and the recent admin
istration of the antibiotics,
such as penicillin and strepto-
mycin, are some of the condi-
tions in which vaccination may
be unwise.
The Indian Service BEG vac
c1natlon prOpTam is Sc1enClIl-
cally controlled and recon-
mended by the most eminent
medical authorities in the
United States. According to
physicians, the BEG vaccina-
lions have been used for about
80 years in Sweden and other
foreign countries, and as Ire
suit cases of tuberculosis in
those countries are now practi-
cally nil.
Vaccinations will be given to
children only with consent OF
parents.

RippHng
OF The Rivers

The Big Horn County Cham
Der of Commerce this football
season is attempting to stimu-
late more interest in home
games of the Hardin high
school squad, especially among
the adult citizens of the town.
In past years, attendance of
adults at football games here
hasn't been too good, Chamber
officials said, so advance tickets
are being placed on sale at
the Chamber of Commerce Of
flee and a number of members
viii also have them for sale.
The action may boost the
attendance but we suspect a
lighted field to facilitate night
games would eliminate the
necessity of having to stimulate
interest. We think the interest
is here but the fact that
games must be played during
the afternoon presents a prob
lem for some who otherwise
would attend.
The Bulldogs seem to turn
in a good account of themselves
regardless of the attendance,
but support is a nice thing to
boast of. Citizens will have
their first chance to lend sup
port this season on the home
field tomorrow Friday) after
noon at 2 p. m. when the Bull.
dogs tangle with Roundup in
the first conference game of
1884,.
Last week a reader remarked
to US that 1t seemed SIS minutes
was a mighty long time to
consume in emptying the Har-.
din school building in fire
drill.
The reader was of course re-
ferring to an item which APP
pered in last weeks issue of
the Tribune-Herald under the
heading of school news. We
should have caught that err
ron, especially since a state in
Spector only last year COM
mented upon the orderly rapid
ity with which a fire drill at
the local school was carried out
at that time.
