HEALTH PROMOTION WEEK Will H* Observed Thruoat the 8ftata Next Week A program for the observance of each day of Public Health week, which begins next Sunday, is herewith outlined by Dr. I. D. Rawlings, director of public health. He urges the calling of a meetirtg in each community at (.nee for the purpose of effecting organizations for the observance. The mayor or village president is the logical man to call such a meeting and his efforts should be *partici pa ted in by such bodies as the chamber of commerce, Rotary, Optimist, Kiwanis and Lions clubs. Parent- Teacher and Ministerial associations, Women's clubs, civic organizations, medical, tuberculosis and infant welfare societies. The chairman appointed at this meeting should be chosen on the basis of his ability to organize and direct and should appoint committees to deal with every phase of the program. The program outlined by Dr. Rawlings sets aside days for health, liseise prevention, community cleanups, fly, insect and rat extermination, better babies and birth registration campaigns; also school children and medical examination days. The program as outlined is^as follows: Sunday, April 17 Health and disease prevention talks to be given before Sunday school audiences and church congregations. Ministers, Sunday school superintendents, Y. M. C. A. officials and members of health promotion week committees are available for -this purpose. Monday, April 18 Community "Clean Up" day. Citizens to thoroly clean every home in the community by removing all trash and rubbish and by the generous use of soap and water. ( The whole house should be opened to fresh air and sunshine. All trash, rubbish and garbage from the house and yard to be assembled in alley or street for the garbage removal wagon or burned. Many localities have greatly increased popular interest in "clean up" day by arranging for a common bonfire for all the community trash, etc. * Tuesday, April 19 '4 Fly, insect and rat exterittfnktion day. Especial emphasis should be directed against fly breeding places. The community should be cleaned of all horse manure and measures adopted to/insure Its storage in flytight containers and its frequent removal during the remainder or fly. season. Mosquito breeding pools, etc., should be draintd or oiled. A campaign for trapping, poisoning and battling rats should be inaugurated. The screening of all homes and places where food Is stored, against flies and mosquitoes, should be emphasized. All of this work can best be carried out thru the authority of local health officials. Wedneaday, April 20 better babies' day. Conference headquarters should be established in some suitable place for the weighing, measuring, medical examination and scoring, of babies. Printed matter should be systematically placed in the hands of mothers and prospective mothers. Better babies' day has always proved to be one of the biggest and most interesting days of the week. This year there is an added incentive for breaking all previous records in attendance. A contest is being carried out by the Chicago Herald Examiner, offering prizes up to $1,000 for the best bab/, while the state department of public health will again carry out its better babies conference at the state fair. Health promotion week conferences ought to serve as a preparatory step towards tha hig conferences referred to. Thursday, April 2l Birth registration day. Arrangements should be made for securing the co-operation of all school children in an effort to locate every unregistered child in the community. The names of all children less than a year old should be collected and the local records consulted to locate discrepancies. Emphasis should be especially directed to measures that will insure complete returns in the future. Friday, April 22 School children's day. flpfecial health programs should be arranged in such a way as to reach every boy and girl who attends^ school. In the high schools the morning exerc ise period should be devoted to health talks and demonstrations. For the grades each room should give a period to the program. The best ways of stimulating interest among school children are to offer suitable prizes for written compositions, give play lets to utilize the Cho Cho program, Health habits are as easily formed by children as are other kinds and they make for a stronger and more vigorous future citizenship. Saturday, April 23 Medical examination day. It should be the purpose of the community to encourage a complete medical examination of every person who has not recently undergone such an examination. The medical professional will heartily co-operate and assist in this undertaking. The medical profession, life insurance companies and public health officials all agree that the annual medical examination of everybody would disclose organic diseases in their incipient and curable stage where these exist and would materially lengthen the span of life. If you are in the market for a new piece of farm machinery this spring let me know about it. Maybe I can save you some money. Math. Freund, the International dealer, McHenry, m. The Kennedy "suit club" members at Waukegan and Elgin, thru Che efforts of the state's attorneys of Lake and Kane counties, have been successful in having their money paid into the club reiturned to them. Suit club slickers have been picking easy money from residents in the Chicago territory for some years past, but henceforth it won't be so easy, at least not in Waukegan and Elgin. ADAM S.
