QF GOOD HEALTH '• : Today, preveritjori is the key-' note of good , health through! early% fetecticb^jE^eonditions which riiay Infer a child's ability to benefit from school experience. In this respect, Illinois state law requires that ;sch9cil children have physical examinations • beforeontery into school, • fourti\ grade,! eighth grade and twelfth -grade. Special examination blanks, are furnished and are returned to the? school nurse upon entry • to school. ' This learning experience of-the child receiving the physical examination, parent and the physician can be a valuable guide toward recognition of the need; for good health care throughout life. . • Good dental health is important to the. child's well be-; ing and' semi-annual visits to the dentist are highly recom^ mended. , Follow-up conferences with parents on recommendations made by the family physician] are carried out by the school nurses to see "that corrective measures are taken in order to insure optimum health for the child. Dr. Alvary, Mrft&iry hi officer, urges parens to full responsibility! for their children's well being by continued cooperation with aill school personnel. , The sdho6i nurses are available to discuss all health matters concerning a child which may affect his ability to learn. Referral is always made to the family phy-i sician for diagnosis and treatment, except in cases of minor first aid. Screening programs for evaluation of the special senses ^of sight and hearing are conducted annually. Follow-up problems should he carried out by the nurses to insure correction according to' medical recommendations. It is recommended that inital inoculations for protection against whooping coughs diphtheria tetanus, smallpox and polio ' and booster shots, as needed, be done at the time of. routine physical examinationsfor children^ Further suggestions by Dr. Alvary center around parental guidance in information of good habits regarding nutrition, adequate rest, healthful recreation for "both mind and body and habits of study which will go far jtaward insuring a successful SdRSol year. re Child ^ This is the way .his books are printed and the way he is « ( taught in school.

Wnen you are taking walks with your child, occasionally go the way you want him to go to school. Teach him to cross a street only at the corners to watch for cars, to obey the patrol boys or policemen and riot to ride with strangers. Let him watch the children on the playground and during the ^wrnmer you might let him tfay there, too, for a While, home you can begin estabthe routine you will have when school starts.. Maybe the child is used to an afternoon nap, but soon he will be in k'ndergarten in the afternoon. So you will need to start ^justing to this change in schedule. You can also give him some small jobs to do and see that he carries them out. Encourage him to clean up things and try to make cleaning up a part of playing.

Reporter autos reached the tax rolls and resultant personal property taxes were collected, the Taxpayers' Federation of Illinois .announced. , For the year 1957 registrations( for passenger cars in Illinois totalled 3,068,447, but only 1,287,508 of this number were listed on the tax rolls (58 percent or 1,780,939 were not on the tax rolls.) - On a statewide basis, passenger cars were assessed at an average equalized value of $641.28 each. This average assessment applied to 1,780,929 autos that escaped tax rolls produces an equalized valuation of $1,142,080,562. ^Assuming the 1957 statewi^etikx rate to be $3.00 per $100 of valuation (it was 3&205 inj 1956), this means $34#62^7Jn property taxes we're lost to local governments. This amount is nearly equivalent to the 1956 tax extensions for all local governments in Sangamon, Peoria and Rock Island counties. It is true that the auto is an plates* to decorate the front and back ^umpers.v Then top, the gasoline that drives the pis* tons and all parts, such si$ tires, are subject to other tak* es. If an owner lives in a muni-' cipality that levies a wheel tax (which, by the way, does not go toward the support- of. schools and counties, but only to the . levying municipality^, he is again pinched for the privilege of enjoying the status , of an auto owner. By taking all this into con- ^| sideration, the absence of 5fc,' percent of the registered autdsr in Illinois from personal profK erty tax rolls is not fair to the 42 percent who are on the rolls and who do pay property taxes" on their vehicles. Also, such ij 1 an ommission shifts ah additional burden on real estate taxes, and does not help answer the need for additional revenue for local governments thit' have proven their needs. Maurice W.
