A very profitable week waa spent
at the State Conference of County

tho past week.
Dr. Carollno Hcdger, M. D., lectur

Standards, Physical Examination of

hoalth; Posture and its Relation to
Health; Hoalth in Club Work; Ad

ed Efforts for Bettor Henlth and the
Child In the Community. '
Dr, Hcdger, a practicing physician
an.d also in charge of the McCormick

of the danger to the underweight be

adopted by committees working on
all projects to correlate tho health
and nutrition work with projects
such as clothing, Home Management,
Community Betterment, nnd Club
Work.
Tho Boys nnd Girls club work $ nn

their club meetings. Tho little pres
ident of tho club, after calling tho
meeting to order, asked for a report
of weights of club members for tho

past weights. If the child lost tho
club leaders ind members tried to
find out why ho hnd lost. Ono boy

The state health motto is as fol
