ry THE HAILEYBURIAN THURSDAY, AUGUST 4, 1932 READY TO SCHOOL School days will soon be here again.| When they come, every school child will be outfitted with books, pen and pencil. These things he needs so that he may be prepared to do his school work. Much more does he need to be provided with good health if he is to make a real success of his school days. A surprisingly large number of ap parently healthly children have certain physical defects which hinder their mental and phyisical development. The most common defects which hin- der their mental and physical de- teeth, the tonsnls, adenoids and the eyes. Other fairly common defects are those It is obvious velopment are those of the of hearing and nutrition. that the child who has one or more such defect cannot do as well in his school work as he would if he were free from these defects. A child who cannot hear or see properly, a child suffering from toothache, or a_ child whose head is stuffed-up with adenoids expected to be alert and give his full attention to his work. Indeed, this was so obvious that cannot be some years ago there was or- ganized, in many places, a system to provide for the examination of school children. One purpose of the examin- ation is to discover the presence of de- fects and to advise parents to have the discovered defects given the necessary attention. To the parent, this physical examin- ation provides helpful information as to what their child needs to attain a good standard of health. The younger the child the easier it is to correct most defects. Even the more trivial defects should be corrected at once so that the child may get the most out of his time in school and so be better pre- pared for life. It is unwise to wait until a child starts to school to find out if he has \ Jiealth: Service OF THE EAited by GRANT FLEMING; M.D. ~ ASSOCIATE SECRETARY In addition to being freed from phy-, sical defects the child should enter school armed with protection against sesalipox and diphtheria. In some provinces the law requires vaccination against smallpox. Diphtheria each year takes away health and life itself from many children. This need not be the case, for we can prevent diphtheria by means of diphtheria immunization. Every baby, towards the end of his first vear of life, should be immunized, and every child, as part of his prepar- ation for school, should be protected against diphtheria.

W. T. DISCUSSED Geological investigations in the main- land part of the North West Territor- ies have revealed the presence of large areas of volcanic-sedimentary rock assemblages which closely resemble the highly productive Keewatin volcan- ics and associated ancient sedimentar- ies in the southern part of the Cana- dian Shield, it is stated in a report discussing the metalliferous mineral possibilities of the North West Terri- tories, and published in Summary Re- port, 1931, Part C, by the Geological Survey, Department of Mines, Ottawa. "Since these rocks in the North West Territories seem in the main to be the counterpart of those to the south, there is no known reason why they too should not be sites of valu- able mineral deposits", the report states. Already they have yielded the pitchblende-silver deposits of Great Bear Lake, and many small deposits of galena, copper, nickel and gold. Geological investigations have so far disclosed the presence of these rocks any defects. Many parents secure the advice of their family doctor during the pre-school years and so, when the} school time comes, their child is physi- cally prepared. | (1) southwest from Rankin Inlet along the Hudson Bay shoe, and inland to the southwest for an unknown dis- tance; (2) northwest of Baker Lake, Inlet; (3) at two places on Kazan River, which enters Baker Lake from the southwest; (4) on parts of the north and south shores and on some of the islands of Great Slave Lake; (5) near Point and Redrock Lakes on the Coppermine River; (6) on the east shore of Great Bear Lake; and pos- sibly (7) west of Bathurst Inlet. The various mineral occurrences other than those at Great Bear Lake and at Rankin Inlet are described in the report. Full descriptions of these latter occurrences are found elsewhere in the Summary Report, copies of which may be had by applying to the Director, Geological Survey, Depart- ment of Mines, Ottawa. By DR. WILLIAM J. SCHOLES CLEAN AND SAFE MILK In order to be pure, milk must come from healthy cows. It must be produced in clean, sani- tary dairies by clean healthy milkers and handlers. Then it must be kept properly cooled un- til delivered. For, milk not only is an excellent food for babies and children but it also happens to be an excellent medium for the growth of bacteria. Some of the germs that grow readily in milk are harmless. About the worst they do is sour the milk. Others, however, are capable of caus- ing disease. Diseases that have been conveyed through milk are typhoid fever, scarlet fever, strepstococcus sore throat, diph- theria and tuberculosis. The germs of these diseases get into the milk in var- ious ways. Sometimes, as in the cases of tuberculosis, the cows are diseased. Sometimes the milk has been handled by those capable of transmitting infec- tions. Certified Milk Safest Milk that is produced in accordance with the sanitary requirements of the Medical Milk Commission is termed Certified Milk. This is regarded as pure enough to be used raw with safe- ty. Much of the milk that is marketed is pasteurized. This means that it has been heated to a temperature of be- tween 140 and 150 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 to 30 minutes. The effect of pasteurization is to kill most of the bac- teria that may happen to be present. which lies to the west of Chesterfield It has done much to lessen the spread 4 Hints for the 23 Household Sw HOUSEHOLD HINTS | Cold: Drinks Cold drinks are a necessity for summer. They can be made very nourishing and if not drunk in excess or too rapidly, they are beneficial Of course, very little, if any, ice may be added to the children's drinks. By giving them different, pretty or cute glasses, with either a sipper or a plain drug store straw they are happy. Some rules to remember when mak- ing drinks are: 1. Have them cold. 2. Do not make them too sweet. More sugar can be added if necessary. 3. Make syrups ahead of time and have some always ready in ice box. oS ee COLD DRINKS Iced Chocolate Syrup 2 cups of sugar. Small cup of water. 4 tablespoons of Cocoa. Little salt. Flavor with little vanilla. Method: Cook together and make syrup. When ready to serve pour a little in bottom of each glass.

WORTH KNOWING Save Your Extra Vegetables If you have an abundant garden and gather more vegetables than you can possibly use in one day, wrap the rest up in a newspaper. They will keep fresh much longer than if left lying loose in the pantry Bo My SS ee BAKING HINTS Angel Food Cake 1 full cup egg white. 34 teaspoon of cream of tartar. 1% cups of granulated sugar. 1 cup of Swans Down Flour.

But even though milk is clean to be- gin with and has been pasteurized, it may still become contaminated. Al- lowing it to stand in open bottles or containers makes the entrance of germs easily possible. Allowing milk to stand in a warm place permits the rapid mul- tiplication of whatever germs may get into it. Milk should be kept in stop- pered bottles, at a temperature of be- tween 35 and-40 degrees Fahrenheit. If there is any doubt about the pur- ity of milk it should be sterilized in the home before being given to babies or children. It may be heated in a double boiler, allowing the water im the outer vessel to boil for 6 or 8 min- utes. After cooling, the milk should be placed in one or more clean sterile bottles, the bottles capped, and kept on ice. During the hot weather, it is safest to heat all milk before giving it to babies!
