Parents and Teachers Co-operate With
die State Board of Health
By MRS- J. BUREN SIDBURY
Chairman, Summer Round-Up Campaign, N. C. Congress of
Parents and Teachers
The health of the child has
been one of the major inter
ests of the Parent-Teacher Asso
ciations of the State. Parents
and teachers agree on the vital
necessity of having children phys
ically and mentally fit before
good school work can be expected.
We are stressing through our
Summer Round-Up Campaign
the importance of having every
remediable defect corrected be
fore thet child enters school for
the first time. This Summer
Round-Up Campaign was inau
gurated by the National Con
gress of Parents and Teachers in
1926, as their major health ac
tivity. Prom a very small begin
ning we now have thousands of
children examined each spring,
and remediable defects—teeth,
tonsils, eyes, ears, posture, etc—
are brought to the attention of
the parents. These defects ma
terially retard a child’s progress
in school.
We are endeavoring, through
education of the parent, to stress
the truth that these physical de
fects must be remedied. We are.
also urging the medical and den
tal professions to give due con
sideration to the defects of the
school child. Even though they
be slight at the time of exami
nation and inspection, we are urg
ing that they not treat these de
fects with indifference, but that
they give them serious considera
tion and cooperate in every pos
sible way with the parents, with
the school officials, and with the
health officials. If we will work
together for the physical health
of the child, he will make greater
mental progress. To accomplish
this we must have more and bet
ter cooperation, not only from
the parents, but from the teach

ers, and from the medical and
dental professions. It is true
that the State Board of Health
is rendering a splendid service in
its health programs in the coun

ties .and its mouth health pro
grams in the schools, but they
could do more and render a bet
ter service if the public bad the
proper understanding of the
work they are endeavoring to do
and would give unstinted co
operation in season and out. We
ask of the associations through
out the State that they lend every
possible aid in improving the
health condition of our children.
We would suggest that at least
two or three health plays, in
which the children take part> be
included in their Parent-Teacher
programs during the school year.
This will afford an unusual op
portunity for health truths to
sink deep in these young minds
and bear much fruit in their
lives.
After the Editor Again
Some boys in school were ask
ed to define an editor. Here are
some of their definitions; “An
editor is a man who handles
words”; “An editor is a man who
has the industry of a beaver and
the instincts of a bee.”—Un
identified.

All-American
Soap Box Derby
Plans Under Way
Thirty-Five Hundred
Boys Participate In
First Qualifying Race
Saturday In Detroit
GAZ (Intide ) end times it need
Detroit, July 28.—Thirty-five
hundred boys took part here
Saturday in the first qualifying
race of the All-American Soap
Box Derby.
The day’s contests launched a
national program of juvenile hill
coasting which will bring together
in competition 100,000 boys in
58 cities in the next three weeks
and will end with the running of
the championship final at Akron,
O., August 11.
The event is sponsored by
Chevrolet Motor company in col
laboration with a leading news
paper in each of the cities.
Major prizes consist of a $2,000
four-years’ scholarship in any
state university or college the
winner selects, a Chevrolet
Master de luxe coach for second
prize, and a Chevrolet Standard
coach for third.
More than 3,000,000 spectators,
it is estimated, will watch the
city races and the championship
event.
Winners in each of the com
peting cities will be sent to
Akron as guests of the sponsoring
newspaper and will be entertained
and banqueted there as guests of
Chevrolet.
The finalists will arrive in
Akron Saturday, August 10, in
time to see the city race there
and to acquaint themselves with
the steeply graded Tallmadge
avenue hill, on which the final
will be run.
The course, to be closed to
traffic for a distance of two
miles by order of Governor
Martin L. Davey, of Ohio, will
be flanked by temporary grand
stands.
Graham McNamee will broad
cast the race over a coast-to-coast
network, and four maj<xr news-reel
companies will photograph the
event. Celebrities expected include
Babe Ruth, Jimmy Braddock,
“Wild Bill” Cummings, Grantland
Rice, Paul Gallico and Damon
Runyon. A press dinner for
visiting newspapermen will be
held Saturday night, August 10,
at the Mayflower, followed by a
dinner to the Derby contestants
and award of prizes Sunday
night.
In addition to the major
awards, the C. F. Kettering
Trophy will be presented to the
builder of the best constructed
and designed car. An upholstery
company will give another trophy
for the best upholstered job,
each contestant will be provided
by Fisher Body corporation with
a “turret top safety steel helmet,”
and M- E. Coyle, president and
general manager of Chevrolet,
will give each city champion a
silver trophy.
About the only similarity
between any two of the home
made Derby racers will be that
they will have four wheels; with
that exception, everything is wide

For U. S. Farmers
AAA SUITS MULTIPLY
With hundreds of suits in the
courts the Agricultural Adjust
ment Act is under a fire that will
not end until the United States
Supreme Court has spoken clear
ly one way or another.
Last week a Federal Circuit
Court of Appeals held unconsti
tutional not only the processing
taxes but the entire effort to con
trol production, raise prices and
recompense farmers, holding
that this was a Held in
which Congress has no control. If
this is to be the judgment of the
higher court it might be well for
farmers to be looking ahead and
considering a “next step.”
Suits by many companies to
prevent collection of the process
ing taxes, used to secure the
money to pay the farmers, mul
tiply rapidly and have caused a
substantial reduction in collec
tions. Moreover, many of them
seek to recover, taxes already paid
on the ground that the tax is
illegal and some $900,000,000 is
involved. To meet this, the ad
ministration is seeking passage of
a bill to throw out all pending
recovery suits and prevent the
filing of others. This, it can do,
because the United States can
not be sued without the consent
of Congress.
ELECTRIFICATION
So far as we have been able to
observe, the Rural Electrification
Administration is making slow
progress in its. program of elec
trification. Naturally, a new
agency requires some time to get
going and it is expected that
many projects will be underway
before long.
The attention of farmers every
where is called to this opportunity
open to the boy’s inventiveness
to develop a vehicle that will
glide fireely, steer easily and hold
together. The only restrictions
are limits on size and weight and
stipulations that the cars must
pass rigid inspection for safe
construction, steering and braking.
The race is under rules laid
down by a technical committee
of well known automotive and
racing authorities headed by
Harold Blanchard, chairman of
the technical committee of the
American Automobile Association
contest board, and technical editor
of Motor magazine.
to secure electricity. There »re,|
perhaps, many regions where it
is not feasible, in other place*,
the plan will work. It is the
business of all those who live on
the farms to understand the pro
gram and get in on it if possible.
FARMER EXPLOITED
“From time immemorial,” says
Senator E. D. Smith, chairman of
the Senate Agricultural Com
mittee, “the farmer has been ex
ploited because he was disorgante.
ed.”
There is a bit of truth in the
remark, but it is not the whole
truth. The farmer is partly to
blame for the treatment he has
been given. He has much to
learn in the way of making his
voice powerful in government.
The lack of organization is due
to many factors but it has con
tinued, in part at least, because
farmers have refused to intelli
gently study their own problems
and logically follow the path
necessary to cure their evils.
RELIEF PROGRAMS
A new snag hit the contem
plated sub-marginal land purchase
program when Comptroller Gen
eral McCarl ruled that the $4,
880,000,000 work relief fund does
not permit such purchases where
there is no substantial work relief
on the land after it is purchased.
Western Congressmen are work
ing to secure direct authorization
for the use of the funds, which
would be used to buy 11,390,465
acres, affecting 14,135 families.
Rural rehabilitation and reset
tlement, designed to improve the
economic status of 360,000 farm
families, has been allocated $91,
000,000 and the money will be
used to make loans to families for
farm purposes, to secure land and
to setup agricultural-industrial
communities.
Dr. Rexford G. Tugwell, in
charge of the program, has divid
ed the nation into eleven districts
and will try to spend the- sum
within six months. The regions
were set up in accordance with
relief needs and particular at
tention will be given to submar
ginal farms and to areas where
changing economic conditions have
left many farmers stranded.
