Every school child should have
a physical and dental checkup be-
fore school starts. Attention to
such details now can save trouble
later. Also advised is an eye test,
since faulty vision can make school
work a burden.
When children return from sum-
mer camp, the short time left be-
fore school should be used to ad-
vantage. Not only health checkups,
but clothing and school supply
checkups also are due. The wise
mother will check school ward
robes early, discard out-grown or

worn-out items and make the nee
essary requirements before the
last-minute rush.
School bag supplies should be
replenished too-such things as
pencils, crayons, mucilage, cello
phane tape, paste, notebooks, era
sers and rulers all can be bought
ahead of time.
When school preparations are
made in advance, Junior can start
the new term on the right foot,
and Mother can relax.

Plan Toy
Parties

The welcome Wagon club
of Chardon will hold a series
of toy parties. This was done
last year and it is believed
that more people are con ;
tacted in this manner, rath-
er than having one large toy
party.
All proceeds from the toy
parties will go to the Oppor-
tunity school for retarded
children in Burton. The We'll
come Wagon club this year
as inthe past, will have the
Opportunity school as its
main project.
Everyone in Chardon and
surrounding communities are
cordially invited to these
toy parties, and can call any
OF the hostesses for further
information.
