THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MAY N. D. HEALTH HEADS' CLOSE NINTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE IN CITY ‘Typhoid Epidemic At Chamber- lain, S. D., Last Decem- ber Is Described Members of the North Dakota Health Officers’ association closed their ninth annual conference here ‘Wednesday after hearing five ad- dresses and discussion. Speakers were Dr. E. A. Bostrom, South Dakota state epidemiologist; Miss Gena Johnson, Fargo, Cass county public health nurse; Miss Viletta Roche, state director of vital statistics; A. L. Bavone, state sani- tary engineer; Dr. A. A. Whittemore, state health officer; Dr. B. K. Kil- bourne, Fargo, newly-elected presi- dent .of the state association; and Dr. M. M. Williams, of the state health department. A discussion was led by Miss Esther ‘Teichmann, of Bismarck, city school nurse. Dr. Bostrom discussed the typhoid epidemic which occurred at Cham- berlain, S. D., last December. Two weeks after the state board of health took charge there were prac- tically no new primary cases and the epidemic was practically over as far fs new infection was concerned, he declared. There were 29 eaths. The city, he said, now has safe water that is being constantly check- ed, a safe pasteurized milk supply, food handlers known not to be car- Tiers of disease, and “the town has had a fine cleaning up and is as safe a city in which to live as can be found in South Dakota.” 300 Requests a Month Three hundred letters are received by the state health department each month requesting certified copies of birth certificates, Miss Roche said. Most are from persons desiring to settle estates, collect on insurance policies, secure pensions, desiring to leave or return to this country, or facing deportation. Many are from juvenile courts, children’s aid societies, state's attor- neys, and school officials investigat- ing delinquent children. Hundreds of such letters are re- ceived each year from foreign coun- tries, Miss Roche said. North Dakota’s present vital sta- tistics law was passed in 1907 and has| not been changed. The health department receives birth and death certificates from 2,500 cooperators regularly. These cooperators receive but small remun- eration. ‘The work, therefore, is done in the “spirit of public welfare and human good,” she said, “and this spirit is not fostered by threats, demands and ar- Tests, but by patience, friendly corre- spondence and more patience.” She then explained in detail just how the certificates should be han- Resistance Running Down “The resistance of our children is slowly running down,” Miss Johnson told the conference. “The. conditions of malnutrition are becoming more and more numerous and this brings us to the point that we should be ever tealous to battle with the preventive measures that we have at our com- mand.” Great progress has been made in Immunizations of children, the speak- er said. “But we have today a sleep- ing giant, one that will awake in his might and swing his lusty death-deal- ing sword as in the days of old in the event that we cannot awake the Public interest in the matter as a condition which to them has become little less than an old fairy tale. I refer to the immunization for small- pox.” The number of children who need dental attention is surprisingly large, she said, recommending that simple fruits and fresh vegetables be recom- ‘mended to nourish teeth and bones. Juvenile tuberculosis and diabetes Bre on the incline, she said, serving as a warning to teachers and health officers. She attacked certain radio programs, “skits developed from in- nocent fairy stories to wild stories of hair-raising adventure, in which little children are at the mercy of awful brigands, thieves and robbers, and Worse, and the child is kept at a fever pitch from day to day wondering whether their favorites will escape from the clutches into which they have fallen.” CONTINUED) from page one- Nipponese Envoy Starts Trip to U.

They were bullet-like lumps of gold-and-silver alloy with an impression hammered into them with a die. For four or five hundred years after Rome fell, millions of Europeans lived without money.

After a two-hour discussion with President Roosevelt in the white house Wednesday, Jung told newspapermen it was too early to state Italy's posi- tion on a tariff truce, but added that “Signor Mussolini always has been in favor of lowering the barriers be- tween nations.” Jung who is being aided in the dis- cussions here by Ambassador Rosso, will have further talks with Roose- A crowded house listened intently as he spoke. There was no doubt, when Mac- Donald returned to London Wednes- day from Washington, that he was greatly pleased with the results of his white house discussions. After the cabinet session today, the prime minister had an appointment to confer with Roosevelt's special Euro- pean ambassador, Norman H. Davis, who awaits the British reaction to a tariff truce proposal. MacDonald also will see King George V. ostensibly regarding the Washington conversations and the) rp, recently-arranged trade agreements with Argentina, Denmark, and Ger- many, about which a storm lately has tbeen brewing. — — —————_—-qO f Weather Report i VRE eth conan FORECAST For Bismarck and vicinity: .)2ight showers tonight or Friday; little cian in temper- ature.

It was quickly explained in an of- ficial quarter, however, that the Reichspost report was based only on “rumors growing out of remarks made by Austrian Nazi leaders recently.” In some quarters the. Reichspost’s story, which was followed by an of- ficial denial, was interpreted as mean- ing that the government was trying to work up public sentiment for sharp action against the Nazis. The Socialist newspapers expressed the opinion that Chancellor Dollfuss was worried over the large percentage of government employees who already hhave gone over to the Nazis and was planning drastic measures such as dis- charging and replacing them with his own supporters. 3 ——_—_—_—_—_—_———.

As a result of the papers given at the first regional meeting, Harding said, “it is apparent that state laws affecting aviation in all of its -as- pects should be uniform through the various states and should coordinate with laws and results promulgated by the aeronautical branch of the Unit- ed States department of commerce. There also is a distinct plane for state activities and law enforcement. “Generally speaking,” he contin- ued, “in the matter of uniform laws 4, 1988 ity of the people of Bismarck, which has made our stay here so pleasant, and the wise planning and indefatig- able work of Mr. Fay Harding and citizens of Bismarck and the sur- rounding community, which made our sessions so helpful and profitable. eS Ne Six Orphans Lauded For Averting Wreck pee Passaic, N. J., May 4—(P)—-A drama of orphans, a storm and an express train hurtling toward disaster had its sequel Thursday when six lads modestly received congratulations on their quick thinking. ‘ The six parentless boys glued their faces to a window of the Passaic asylum Wednesday night to watch an electric storm rage outside. Suddenly they noted the rain had washed away an embankment, leaving a section of railway track suspended flim- sily over a 10-foot chasm. ‘They knew an express train would roar over those rails short- ly. Dashing out, they ran down the tracks, waving raincoats and screaming. The engineer saw them through the darkness. He stopped just in time to save the train, which carried 500 passen- gers. C. of C. Awaiting Roosevelt Address Washington, May 4.—(7)—Business leaders looked Thursday to an ad- dress by President Roosevelt for defi- nite indications as to how far the government is willing to go in an effort to speed the wheels of indus- try and put men back to work. That address will be made Thurs- day night before the Chamber of Commerce of the United States at a time when both business and con- gressional leaders are advocating respecting the licensing of aircraft and airmen the states are in accord with the federal department, although some of the state statutes regarding that phase of aviation are obsolete and need revising. It is my view however that this organization may be useful in formulating and suggest- ing, after considerable study, uniform. laws with reference to airport man- agement and markings, and aeronau- 42} tical schools and classification. Harding said the group will stress the necessity of all those interested in aeronautics to be more active in en- couraging and suggesting completion of the projected system of air naviga- tion aids in all parts of the country in & harmonious manner, and protest- ed postponement and further delay in onsummating air lines through this region. The organization favors, he declar- ed, friendly relations and interchange of visits between states of this coun- try and with Canada and has gone on record for elimination of “all neces- ‘00 | 8ary red tape and fees.
