ye - May 5, 1928 WINNETKA TALK I ' 29 "Sells Healtho Circus" Coming to School Room Taking the circus to the schoolhouse is a new venture in health education- al tactics soon to be launched, accord- ing to an announcement made this week by Dr. Isaac D. Rawlings, state health director. Moving under the suggestive title of "Sells Healtho Cir- cus," the scheme carries with it all the atmosphere and glamour of a real circus, embracing everything from a galloping clown to the painted tent flaps, and is calculated to captivate the interest of small boys and girls. Its purpose is to drive home an im- pressive lesson in dental hygiene. The fact that about 85 per cent of school children carry dental defects of one kind or another emphasizes the need of preventive effort. "The health circus is a new depar- ture in educational methods and was designed by Dr. Lon W. Morrey, state superintendent of mouth hygiene, pri- marily to teach dental hygiene," said Dr. Rawlings. "It is almost ready for service and will be demonstrated first before the annual convention of the State Dental society at Rock Island on May 8 and 9. The plan is to move it from school to school, as occasion permits, where it will fit into a classroom and do its educational work by bringing into action as circus ac- tors a dozen or more children.

Building permits in Illinois for the fre quarter of 1928 totaled $104,417,- Christian Science Churches "Everlasting Punishment" was the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, Sunday, April 29. The Golden Text was from Gala- tians 6: 1, "Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thy- self, lest thou also be tempted." Among the citations which com- prised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool" (Isaiah 1: 18). The Lesson-Sermon also included the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scrip- tures," by Mary Baker Eddy: "It is error to suffer for aught but your own sins. Christ, or Truth, will destroy all other supposed suffering, and real suffering for your own sins will cease in proportion as the sin ceases" (p. 39 COMPLETE DETROIT BRIDGE The: Detroit International Bridge, when completed, will constitute the first direct highway link between the Middle West and Canada. Rapid con- struction progress now being made in- dicates that the bridge will be ready for traffic considerably ahead of sche- dule, according to information re- ceived by the Chicago Motor club. The structure, it is declared, will be the world's largest suspension bridge. Corn, hay, oats and winter wheat are the four major crops of Illinois. L .
