SCHOOL HEALTH
REPORT
The Health Department
completed the school exam
inations in April. The Ist
and 3rd grades in all schools
were given a physical ex-i
amination. We hope that!
the parents realize the im-i
portance of these school
phy s i cal examinations.
Many ,of these children
have never been examined
by a physician.
Six hundred and sixty
children were examined.
Ten of these children have
heart murmurs, proving
valvular heart disease.
These are always seriops
and show need of attention
to the child’s teeth and ton
sils, which cause most of
these very serious condi
tions. Twd children have
facial paralysis, one has
Chorea and one Arthritis
(rheumatism i.
The Schick Test to de
termine susceptibility to
Diphtheria was given to the
first three grades and to
children in the higher grad
es who desired the test.
Those proving susceptible
were given Toxoid or the
parents were notified that
the child was not protected.
All school children without
a Smallpox scar were given
smallpox vaccination.
Miss Shirley Styles, 3rd
grade, Burnsville school,
daughter of Mrs. Roosevelt
Styles and the late Mr.
Styles of Burnsville, show
ed no physical defects. Our
congratulations to her and
her mother. Many other
children were almost per
fect, showing frequently
small tooth cavities, unclean
teeth or unclean hands.
Next year we hope to have
many more physically per
fect children.
PULPWOOD PART OF
INVASION FORCES
As the might of the Al
lies is thrown against Hit
ler’s European Fortress,
pulpwood and the thous
ands of pulpwood cutters
on the Home Front will
| have a part in driving back
j the Nazis from their ill got
ten claims.
Photographs of maneu
vers in England show cargo
j planes dropping supplies
iby parachute on isolated
| ground troops. These sup
j plies in actual combat will
mean the difference be
j tween Victory and defeat,
between life and death.
An examination of these
• air-borne cargoes would re
j veal the following items
! made of pulpwood:
| Supply parachutes used
! to drop packages of food,
i medical supplies, and am
! munition.
Cartons and wrappers in
which the food is packed.
| Surgical dressings and
blood plasma containers to
treat the wounded.
Smokeless powder pack
ed in the rifle and machine
; gun shells.
Without pulpwood i t
would be difficult if not
impossible to keep these ad
vance units of our invasion

URGE GREATER USE
OF NITRATE SODA
Raleigh, N. C., May 15.—!
In an attempt to create
greater production of corn
I in North Carolina this year.
| the State Feed Advisory!
Committee is now urging
farmers to use larger quan
tities of nitrate of soda,!
preferably 250 pounds to
! the acre. Representatives
ok various agricultural ag
encies in the State agreed
,to push a campaign to this
end. ?£
j E. M. Hansen, of Raleigh,
agronomist, recently pre
sented experiments con
juucted by him last sum
i mer which showed that
i with nitrate of soda selling
for S4O per ton, the cost per
bushel of increased yield
I wag 21 cents—based on 220
1 pounds to the acre,
j Hansen said the number
of pounds of nitrate of soda
' required—on the average—
to produce an extra bushel
iof corn was 10,6 pounds,
iHe explained that an acre
