PAGE EIGHT CHILD HYGIENE IN WINSLOW The children of Washington school were weighed and measured the first of this week, under the direction of Miss Bouton, home demonstration agent, university ex tension service. Miss Bouton found that despite the sickness in Winslow the past few weeks, that there has been a perceptible gain in weight by those who were un der weight a month ago, the in crease of white cards (normal weight) being from 43.6 to 45.9 per cent. The red cards (7 per cent below normal) decreased from 24.4 to 23.9 per cent. Many mothers are keeping the “food habits score card," which en courage the children to improve their food habits. Miss Bouton was much pleased to find that the teach ers in the Washington building are co-operating splendidly with the mothers in teaching the values of milk, fruits, vegetables as articles of diet, and in keeping clean teeth and hands as an aid to good health. The children were much interest ed in a movie reel, “Milk in Mother Goose Land,” which Miss Bouton showed to them. Last month more than a thousand school children in Coconino and Navajo counties saw this reel exhibited by Miss Bouton. Mrs. John LaZear, Mrs. Roy Brennen, and Mrs. Shannon Al bright assisted in weighing the children. Systematic training for mothers in the promotion of child hygiene will be the aim of a club formed this week after Miss Bouton’s vis it. Eleven mothers met with Miss Bouton Wednesday afternoon at Washington school, at which time children were weighed and meas ured, and resolutions made to form a club to study the work. The new organization will meet the first Thursday of each month, and the first meeting, which will be held March 4th, and at which officers will be elected, will be sup ervised by Miss Bouton, who will explain the work. Any mothers or any ladies inter ested in this movement for better child health should get in touch with Mrs. H. B. Robinson of Mrs. A. R. Dewey as soon as possible. All are cordially invited to attend the first meeting. One of the features of the meet ings will be the weighing and meas uring of children, as a chart show ing the progress of the new body.

Editor Winslow Mail: ' Dear Sir —Winslow to Winslow ites is the hub of the universe, bar ing those, of course, who formerly lived in California. A native son can never forget his nativity. We respect this allegiance, but some times, in our own pride, we wish he would be less profuse and elo quent in his devotion. Dr. Frank Crane has said that every man—“l,” “Me,” —is the most important personage in all the world; and he is right to the ex tent that everyone is self-centered, looking more to his own affairs al most to the exclusion of all others save his own immediate family. Someone has said that the upper pole of the earth projects visibly fi*om every community and the world revolves about that place. This also, is true in the sense that each community has its own prob lems which it looks out for almost to the exclusion of all other com munities. This is as it should be. It is the foundation on which this and all other countries are built. But Winslow to the tourist and the traveling public—what is it? To them Winslow is just another town on the desert through which they must, or may, pass on their way to a more interesting place. They come over the hill from either direction, see our little community as a small oasis in the brown val ley. They stop at a gas station, fill their tank and radiator, and maybe spend the night at one of our excellent camp grounds. Then they step on the gas and are off. Have they received an impression that Winslow is any more than “just another desert town?” Do they see a park or a beauty spot anywhere? Do they see a statue of a Red Man to remind them that this is the home of this fast van ishing and noble race? Are our natural wonders, of which Winslow is the logical cen ter sufficiently advertised and pointed out to catch the eye of those who pass? Can we “point with pride” to any civic center? Where is the band stand and our band that we and our transient visitors may hear a program of music occasionally? These are some of the questions which Winslow res should ask themselves and try hard to answer. Winslow has a bountiful pay-roll. Why not use some of this pay roll to further promote Winslow.

MOTHERS’ CLUB Dr. Hayden’s talk on “Training the Child in Worship,” was the out standing feature of Washington Mothers’ club program on Tuesday afternoon. The living example of the parents in the home is the source of the child’s knowledge of religion, the criterion by which he in later life gauges his attitude toward God, the memory of which makes or mars his life, was illus trated by Dr. Hayden with stories of actual homes. A number of papers on this sub ject were read by memebers, deal ing with several phases, with Mrs. Harry Walker as leader. Owing to the illness of the pres ident, Mrs. Moore, the meeting was in charge of Mrs. Brennen, first vice-president. After the program, a great many items of business were brought up for duscussion. The election of of ficers resulted in the re-election of Mrs. Moore as president; Mrs. Brennen as first vice president, and Mrs. Oare, as second vice president.
