r^m HMIIH^I llll !•• 111 M'»»» ttALTH TALKS eft H 111 i 11 m I {If!| |n |"H' •ol Health and Year ChM en though the health of the child Is the parents' primary responsibility, there are many children today who are permitted to' grow without adequate medical checkups. This is dire neglect and explaing the need for a wellrounded school health program, the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society obaenres in a Health Talk. x fJWth the emphasis today on preventive medicine, every child on reaching school age should have been periodically examined. To stop with the" examination is much like pouring water through a sieve for if the defects are noted and not corrected, the examination is withut value. The keynote of moderjjf^education is health, and a healthy^child is a happy child. That is why a ifhool health program is designed to instill in the growing child a knowledge of the basic health repuirements which, if fulfilled, will contribute vastly to his physical and mental progress. Even in kindergarten and nursery schools good health habits are emphasized, sq that the child returns- home with pointed information on cleanliness, nutrition, c^rect posture and other simple *.mlth facts. Thus, from the school into the home go simple illustrations of good health Tiabits. With the child as the source of information the wise parent will put the instruction into effect. The teacher's efforts will be wasted if the parent refuses to supervise the child's resultant activities In the home. •he well-meaning parent may be tuiaware of faulty vision, nutrltlon- M defects, slight .imperfections in posture or doming teeth, but the teacher, trained to notice deviations In her brood of youngsters, will detect these differences. For example she will notice the inattenMvenes* of a usually cooperative child. She will not know what is wrong, but because of her training to understand behavior, learning ability and attitudes, she ^derstands the prolonged lethargy in the child needs medical explanation by the family physician. Because the child's school life brings him into constant association with others, it is necessary to watch for signs and symptoms of social or emotional maladjustment Among these are overtimidity, overagre8sivene6s; exaggerteed day dreaming: extreme sensitivity remarks of others; failure to advance in school at a nui MM rate in spite of good physical health and adequate intellectual capacity; excessive showing off; undue restlessness and unwillingness to engage in group activities. Physicians, dentists, nurses and educators think alike on the need for an adequate school health program. Because of# this there is a concerted move to implement the f|iw in Illinois which calls for ' a physical examination of every child before entrance into the first grade, again in the fifth and ninth grades. There is also a distinct trend, to establish a permanent health form for every school child to record defects noted on examination as well as those corrected. A child's school life marks a keystone in his growth pattern, for |t is in this period that his formal training establishes the direction to his place in the community. This formal training includes instruction in# matters of health and combines physical education, which inspires an attainment of good healUi. Thus the healthy and happy child grows into a healthy, happ^r and useful citizen making his personal contribution to his commun-' ity and his nation. BILLS NOW BEFORE CONGRESS TO EXTEND CONTROL ON RENTING The law governing federal rent control expires June 30. 1951, J. Edwin Porter, associate area rent director, stated to clear up confusion he said resulted from the rec«£P~hnpostt.ioi^ of pt4ce and wage controls. The 90-day l^nt "tdliTfcol extension passed by Congress % December hsfi also been incorrectly interpreted by some people, he added. Effective last July i. the Housing and Rent Act of 1950 provided for rent control to June 30, 1951. except that control would end Dec. 31. 1950, in incorporated communities that did not specifically act to keep it. Th 90-day extension simplv added three months to this cut-off date and made March 31 the new deadline for community affirmative action, Mr. Porter said. The recent order freezing prices and wages in no way affected or changed the significant rent control dates of the March 31 cut-off and the June 30 expiration. Two bills are now before Congress that would extend rent control to June 30, 1952, and one would give the expeditor sweeping re-control authority. Currently, 1,066 communities with four million rental units have taken local action assuring them of continued rent control after March 31, while 1,400 with three million rental units have not acted, Mr. Porter said.

Shunian. president of the Illinois Agricultural association has warned. "Illinois Is just one of many states in whteh selective service calls and the movement of workers to defense plants have drained our farm labor supply to the danger point," Shuman said- The effect of this short supply of farm laborers will not be felt immediately, he declared, because we have a fair carryover of some food items. But eventually the public will start to feel the pinch of reduced food output if the movement of workers away from the farms is not corrected.* "The public is not aware of this threat to our food supply," Shuman said. "City consumers have heard so much discussion of farm surplus problems that they are inclined to take food for granted. "Farm mechanization has greatly increased our ability to produce food, but these wonderful machines will not run by themselves?*" the IAA president said. The IAA is the statewide Form Bureau organization with 179,000 farm families as members. "The production of meat will probably be one of the first items to drop," Shuman said. "That is because it takes extra labor to feed livestock. Other crops that require large seasonal supplies of labor will also suffer." Shuman outlined a four-point program that will help keep enough food on America's dinner tables; (1) Draft regulations should be applied to permit deferments on a limited basis of key operators and seasonal workers. This does not mean that agriculture has asked for blanket exemptions for farmers. (2) Adequate supplies of steel and the freedom for which fe stands," Shaman saM. "But the manpower needs of agriculture must be carefully and other materials should be al- ^evaluated and Compared with thoe« located for the production of essen- ; of other industries and the govtial farm machines and repairs. ernment itself." (3) Price controls should be removed, especially from those commodities most badly needed, because controls restrict production. (4) The length of the basic work week should be immediately inbreased, for the duration of the emergency, from forty to forty-five hours in all industries.
