AUTOMOBILE LIFE FIRE Call or see me before it is too late ROY 153 g 1707 HANCOCK ST. PHONE BEL. 59J BELLEVUE, NEBRASKA Death Of War Veteran From Bellevue Sgt. Joseph F. Nelson Dies From Wounds Received at Pearl Harbor December 7th, 1941 "Health On the Home Front" A "family health plan" to be work ed out by each woman's project club member for her own family was the main aim of the second demonstration given this week by Sarpy County project clubs. "Health on the Home Front" is the topic for the demon stration. Proper nutrition, rest and recea tion, potection of chflden against communicable diseases, regular check- tips, and early medical treatment are seen as necessary parts of such a plan, County Extension Agent Erick- son said. , It was also stated that the demon stration is one of the most timely on the project clubs program for the year, because the highest de gree of physical fitness possible is necessary for everyone in these war times, whether they fight on the battle front or on the home front. "On the home front falls the re sponsibility of building health de fenses that will assure good health," the County Extension Agent states, "that means good health for our soldiers, factory workers, farmers, and home workers. The physical fitness of these people determines the success of our war effort. Our children must have strength and vigor to face their responsibilities in the peace. The tasks we have are so important that the President of the United States has called upon the people of every community to join forces in a health campaign that will win total physical fitness."
