Taft be, and he is hereby appointed to serve in the capacity of deputy chief of the fire de- partment for one year, from July 1, 1920, and that he receive as full compen- sation therefor the sum of $200 in addi- tion to his regular wages. The report of last year's auditing com- mittee on the city property Wwas pre- sented by Alderman Pendleton Who Was chairman of thaf committee and was ordered printed in the appendix to last year's journal. Councilmagy Crooks presented & com- munication from John W. McKinley, the chairman of the Greeneville Fourth of July celebration committee, inviting the council. to participate in the celebration and parade on July 5th and the invita- tion was" gccepted, the council voting to attedd ih 2 body. : Alderman Peale vresented a resolution signed by Ralph M. Patrick and some 65 or 70 others asking for the establishment of a building line on the easterly side of Franklin street from the southwest- erly, side of Franklin street from the southwesterly corner of the building known as 183, 185 and 187 Franklin street, and the northwesterly corner of the building known as 161 Franklin street and owned by Annie C. Cunning- ham, this proposed line to provide for a sidewalk approximately as wide as those on the north and south of the property. The petition was referred to the public works committee with power. A petition from the Norwich Electric Company and Arthur G. Jenkins and some dozen others, asking that the park- nicipality expending over a million of dol- lars annually. Team work is of vital im- portance both as to committees and the heads of the different departments. It is my opinion that all department heads should meet at least once a month to go over the many problems that are of im- portance to the welfare of our city. Many times it so happens that the public works department, not being fully cog- nizant of the work of the gas and electric and water departments, undertakes per- manent work only to firi, when same is completed, that there was work to be done on the same property by either of the two above mentioned departments and which should have been done prior to the work of the public works depart- ment. I believe that co-operation of all departments would be the means of sav- ing many dollars in the course of the year. The appropriations made for the ensu- ing year will not permit of many exten- sive improvements, nor do I think this the opportune time to make many such improvements at the present high cost of material and labor, but it should be the aim of this body to expend the money ap- propriated to the best possible advantage for our city. In conclusion, let it be our aim to work together for a successful business admin- istration so that when we have com- pleted our services as members of this body we may conscientiously feel that, even though we may have erred in some things, we have tried to give our city the best administrative powers that we pos- sessed.

Several lines of celebrated health foods will be used in making up the daily menus. DESCRIBES HEALTH WORK IN CITY (Continued from Page Five) and two to the parochial schools. The weighing and measuring of school chil- dren is being done throughout the coun- try and Is considered one of the import- ant steps in a health programme. It has been estimated that between 50 per cent. and 60 per cent, of the children of the United States are|under weight. Norwich is not different from other cities in this respect. To date out of 3600 children enrolled in the public schools, 2216 have been weighed with these results: 1117 under- weights, or 50 per cent of whole. Of these 599 are 10 per cent. below normal j or 25 per cent. whole; 775 correct, or 35 per cent., 331 overweight. As many of the children as could be taken care of who were found to be 10 per cent. below normal wejght were sent to_the nutrition class. What the tyberculosis nurse does was described by Mrs. W. C. Woolsey who said that her work in the community was to find positive and suspicious cases and to have all contact cases examined. Her work is to educate the people , to make them realize first that tuberculosis can be cured if taken in the early stages, that it is an infectious disease, not an inherited one and that by keeping the children well nourished and improving their living conditions a large percent- age of tuberculosis can be eradicated. Ways of finding cases are through re- For the past, three months we have had a class of little girls on, Saturday | morning. These girls range from 7 to 14 years of age and are all either con- tact cases or very much under weight children. Most of whom have been sent to us by the school nurses. We have given them short talks along health lines, a few lessons in cooking, and for 15 or 20 minutes each lesson calesthenics. By having an honor roll and little printed cards on which they check themselves for obeying certain health rules, we have succeeded in making it rather an interest- ing game and when weighing time comes they are all keenly anxious to see if it is a gain or a loss. The children are the biggest factor in educating thé grown-ups particularly in homes where little or no English is spcl>n the parents and if we can get them interested, make them see the importance of cleanliness, fresh air and nourishing food, the battle is turning in our favor. Miss FElizabeth M. Culver described the general work of a public health nurse and spoke in part as follows: In a few words may I explain tho function of the nurses doing general ted-side nursing in the homes. They work in clcse co-operation with the physicians of the city, neve giving nurs- ing care to any sick person without in- structions from the physician who has last seen the patient. If no physician has been in attendance and the financial resources do not permit calling one, the nurse reports the case t> the se'ectmen and nursing orders are taken {rom the town physician. In the last 4 1-2 years, I believe it is safe to say that every nelghboriood, every nationality, every class of famiy has been visited by these nurses. Often it has happened that in the course of ore day the same nurse will go from the humblest street and the most modest home to the statliest avenue with its more pretentious homes. It is a t or- oughly democratic work for all peope, with no distinction as to creed, co'or, o size of pocket book. It is inthese homes that the nurses’ opportunity for teaching the lessons of health presents itsef. While carrying out the orders ofthe phy- sician for the patient, she is not blind to home conditions and to the oth-r men- bers of the family. Many physical de- fects are detected by the nurses's experi enced eye and the famiy persuaded to call in the physiclan for a member of the famiy who until then had not been suspected of n eding such attention. You can readily see that it is very necessary to have the closest co-opera- tion between all the public health nurses in order that the best results may be oo- tained for the community. In the very nature of our werk we are brought in touch with mau, of the sime families. In the family where sickness brin: in the ‘public health nurse doing bed- side work, there are often children of school age in whom of course the school nurses are inter.sted, and in this same family there may be now or at some sub- sequent date may have been a case of tuberculosis, thus cal'ing in the interest of the tuberculosis nurse. This is something which frequently happens, and if there did not exist a feeling of good will and desire to cove- rate on the part of the various nurses working in the community, you can read- ily sce what an over-lapping would oc- cur, resulting in a loss of time when (wo or more nurses visit the sime home reg- ularly, and also in confuson to the famiiy. In order to avold what 8o often occurs ‘has family. gained In this way one nurse looks aft- er the health ‘of the entire f~mily ‘nstead of many nurses meeting and overlapping the'r work in the same’ Mousehold. - Day Camp For Children. Dr. H. B. Campbell of the tuberculosis sanatorium spoke of the wotk along this line and announced the plan to hold a day camp for children for *two months, from July 1. This will be at the former Grand "View Sanatorium on Washington street. ' which has been given rent free by Dr. John J. Donohue, the owner, and John A. Moran, the real estate agent in charge. who told Dr. Campbell that he had raised a family of eight children and wanted to see other children have a chance. The camp will be for under- welght children. probably 30 to 50 in number, who will be given a chance by hygienic measures to build up into norm- al healthy children to make norhal healthy citizens. Dr. E. J. Brophy, the city health of- ficer, highly commended the work of the public health nurses and reminded the meeting that it was not costing the city or town anything. He spoke of the way health inspection had saved closing the schools and was was followed by School Supefintendent E. J. Graham, who said that just the methods that were follow- ed in Norwich were those approved by experience in other places and that the saving in educational value to the chil- dren by not closing the schools amply warranted the expense of the school health inspection. Not a derogatory word has been heard about the work of the nurses. He mentioned work along the line of helping undernourished children and dental work as being two things sought in the programme for next y Secretary L. M. Crandall of Chamber of Commerce asked for answers to the questions how the chamber and the community could forward this work, and it was voted to have the committee on nublic weliire make a study of the sub- Ject. b Ex-Mavor T. C. Murphy spoke against any solicitation for funds to carry on this work. as he said the state and town were obliged to do It. It was explained to him that the meeting was educative in purpose and not for raising money for the work.
