The Rev. Karl Warmer was the

the PIT. A., his topic being 'sDo You
Know Where You Are Going?"
Reverend Warner stated that each
person is builder for eternity.
Each one is given a book of rules
and a kit of tools, and it depends
on the individual whether he builds
a stumbling block or a stepping
stone. He mentioned four rules for
living: be good; serve others; seek
God, and live nobly.
The program was in charge of the
men, with the president, Rene Burt

In case you've ever noticed
the school kids especially
those in the lower grades -
securing the town for sales tax
and wondered why they were
so eager, the answer is easy.
Grades which raise a total of
500 in sales tax stamps during
any given week get out an hour
earlier on Friday afternoon of
that week.
Now, when you were a kid,
wouldn't you have spent six or
eight hours gathering stamps, if
they had such a thing, to get out
of an hour Of school?
Incidentally, the grades make
excellent use of the money they
.derive from gathering the sales
tax receipts.
They have purchased small
tables and chairs for the little
children, and all kinds of acces-
series which would not otherwise
be available.
The first grade, West, for in
stance, has some tables and
chairs which cost in excess of
$50, purchased because the child
rem saved up sales tax stamps.
It's an i'll wind that bloweth
no man to good - or some
thing like that - if we may
be pardoned the use of a time
worn expression.
During the high winds n
night last week. several folks
reported that the remaining
leaves were blown from their
yards. leaving them as clean as
if they had raked them.
Of course some of the neigh
bors had TO suffer. but. it's an
i'll wind go. =.

tween the Starrick barn and
house, where a fire could do the
most damage.
The trailer is equipped with
two kinds of hose; $50 feet of 212
inch hose and $50 feet of IL inch
hose.
This makes getting water out
of the lake onto the burning
area simple. The hose is placed
in the lake and the pump forces
the water out of the lake onto
the fire.
The trailer itself is equipped
with a standard trailer hitch that
can be mounted behind a car or
truck and hauled wherever fire
might occur.
This fire-fighting device can
be ready to combat fire in five or
ten minutes time. Mr.. Starrick
adds that, even though he is not
in the fire fighting business on a
for his own use, he would re-
large scale and built this machine
spond to a neighbors call if a
fire should break out.

Farm Ponds Grow
In Popularity
(ConttA~ed f1Dm rage u

Orders are placed as soon as the
ponds are built There must be a
depth of six or seven feet of wat
er before freezing weather sets
in, to avoid freezing the fish dur
ing the winter, or suffocation un-
der the ice in too shallow a pond.
Nature Limits Supply
Nature limits the supply of fish,
too. Some reasons the production
is not as large as others, depend
ing upon the weather conditions.
Black bass and bluegills are the
varieties used to stock farm ponds
most frequently.
These are usually put in at the
rate of 10 to i, or 100 bass to 1000
blue gills per acre of pond area.
A fertilization program must be
started before the fish arrive to
furnish algae for the bluegills.
The bass take care of them
selves. They feed on the blue
gills.

recommending immediate treat
ment.
In addition to these specific
services from the health depart
ment, teachers are cautioned to
be constantly on the alert for
signs of unusual conditions in
their students.
"The teacher works with the
children every day" said Miss
Braun. "She can tell if each child
looks and acts normally from day
to day."
Teachers Can Help
If a teacher should discover
symptoms of contagion, she, of
course, sends the child home.
If evidence of scalp ringworm
is noticed, the teacher notifies the
health department to bring their
wood lamp, an instrument for
ringworm diagnosis, to the school.
The first of each year, the
county nurses make recommended
tons to the schools for first aid
supplies.
1t is gratifying to note that
there is a county board of health.
in each school each week,
ready to assist the teachers and
parents in better care for the
children of Union county.

aminations were conducted with
the parents present. Three thous-
and, seven hundred and fifty one
children have been admitted to
nursing service; 70l of these Wis
its were in the child's home and
2672 were in the board of health
offices.
The eye program will be COM
pleted by the end of the year. The
health department is now in pos
session of three electric eye
charts, purchased for their use by
the Marysville PIT. A, and the
Redwood and Marysville Lions
Clubs.
Eye Tests Take Week
These charts are being used al
most constantly in schools
throughout the county, since it
requires about a week to COM
pletely test the eyes of the child
rem in only one school.
AT the present time, four county
schools have completed their eye
testing programs. They are: Es-
sex, harrisburg, Raymond and
Broadway.
Final plans for the hearing pro-
gram are as yet tentative. In pre-
vious years the board of health
tested all of the first year pupils
and referred all doubtful cases to
outside agencies.
Expand Hearing Program
This year the department hopes
to expand it's school-hearing pro-
gram so that more students may
be tested.
The ear testing machines were
purchased by the Local Society
for Crippled Children in 1919 and
1850.
Each ear is tested separately for
both tone and frequency. If a
child is found who is not hearing
normally, the case is investigated
by the board of health doctor.
Sometimes, according to Miss
Braun, the hearing defect" is
nothing more serious than a plug
of wax covering the ear drum. In
other cases, remedial work is
recommended and the case turn
ed over to either the childs own
physician OF to one of the out
side agencies, for further study.
Immunization Program
The immuniZation program is
designed to follow each child
clear through their childhood and
youth. Careful and detailed
health records are retained in the
schools about each child.
The children are examined in
the first, fourth, eighth and
twelfth grades for diphtheria and
smallpox immunizations. If the.
child has not been properly safe
guarded against these diseases, a
note is sent home to the parent
