USE "THE PIN" Once upon a time some young men started a small business. They worked hard and tried to please and their business grew. But somehow it seemed as if people didn't realize that any business large or small needed money to buy goods and pay rent and other things and so we just thought that if you would sit down and write us a check then we would sit down and pay a bill we owe and make a man happy and you would be happy because it would be off your mind. If you could see how pleased we are when the mail man comes with a check I know for sure you wouldn't have the heart to deny us that pleasure as honest and true we need the money. We thank you. Utah Schools Win National Honors It will be pleasing news to the' schools of Utah to know that the work of the boys and girls in the Modern Health Crusade has again won for Utah national honors. Word has just been received from New York that Utah is the only State in the west to capture two of the much prized banners which a'-e awarded by the National Tuberculosis Tuberculo-sis Association each year for exceptional excep-tional health woik in the schools.

The daily records of health . chores kept by the children for the year, have to be sent to New York, where they are passed upon by a committee and carefully scrutinized. scrut-inized. The two schools winning these National banners are the Riverton School, Salt Lake County, Miss Met-ta Met-ta Carter, teacher; and the Central School, Heber City, Miss Venola Ohl-wiler, Ohl-wiler, teacher. Utah is the only state west of Iowa who captured one of these banners. "Did our organization accomplish no other work than that of the Modern Mo-dern Health Crusade," said James H. Willas, executive secretary of the Utah Public Health Association, it will justify its existence. , Children who every day observe the eleven simple health rules required by this system of health education, have them well fixed in their lives by the end of their school year. We had over ten thousand children who did this work last year. This year, because be-cause of the fact that the work is to be carried on in the third, fourth and fifth grades, as well as in the sixth, will see at least 20,000 of our boys and girls enrolled as Modern Health Crusaders. They must practice every day the following simple health habits hab-its which are called "chores:" |
