O'NEIL Macon County Home Demonstration Agent HEALTH ACTIVITIES OF 4-H CLUB MEMBERS One of the most important fea tures of 4-H club work is that of health improvement. This work is conducted with the help of the county health department. In fact, it would be impossible to do an ef fective piece of work without their cooperation. I Each year at the beginning of the year the 4-H club members are checked thoroughly by the county doctor and nurse. During the year members work to correct any de fects, among which are poor teeth, tonsils, posture and other physical disabilities. It is to be urged that parents lend their cooperation in order that this work may be ef fective. It does very little good to tell a child that his teeth need at tention or that his tonsils should 4e removed unless something can be done about it. These correntions will mean health insurance for our children during their later years. It is most important for their fu ture happiness and for the con tinued progress of the state and nation. At the end of the school year the children are again check ed to note any improvement. In struction is given throughout the year on nutrition posture and, re lated subjects and a record kept by each, member on health activities. Health Contest Each year the outstanding boy and girl in each club is selected to enter a county contest. The winner of the county contest enters a dis trict contest and the winner of the district a state contest. The state winner attends the national contest.
