Regular Month Meeting Nome
Health Council is Held
The regular meeting of the
Nome Health Council was called
o order by Chairman Henry Mil
' ler. The minutes of the last meet
ing were read and approved.
Mrs. Sprenger gave her month
! ly report for the month of Febru
; ary stating that in accord with ob
crvance of Social Hygiene Day.
articles were published in the
newspaper during the month and
the film of Syphilis was shown to
.lie class in Home Hygiene and
Care of the Sick. Also to both the
Territorial and Indian Affairs
School. Dental inspections were
made and those who needed dent
al care were given it. The terri
torial fund of $100 is being used
to furnish de'ntal care to those
children whose parents are un
able to do so. It is also used for
the dental care of preschool child
ren.
A letter was read from Marcia
Hays, M. D. from Juneau suggest
ing that we again take steps to
see that the Public Health Nurs
ing Service is continued for an
other year. It was the unanimous
opinion of the Nome Health Coun
cil to support the continuance of
such a Nurse and nursing activ
1 ities.
At this time slides on “Care of
the Feet" were shown. These slid
es showed the value of correct
[ fitting shoes and stockings. The
feet should be taken care of from
i infancy. Bunions, corns and cal
uses are all caused from improp
er care and incorredt fitting
shoes. When the shoes are too
short the many small bones of
the foot are cramped and thus
the weight pressure is pushed to
some other portion of the foot.
High heels also cause a deviation
from the correct pressure bear
ing points, also causing the whole
body to be off balance. By impro
per care many ailments in other
parts of the body are caused
from the feet. Correct exercises
such as standing on a ledge and
bending the toes downward,
standing on tip toes and lowering
slowly and walking around the
room a number of times on the
side of the foot will help to
strengthen the tissues and aid
ag'ainst the tendency of fallen
arches and other foot ailments.
The Program Committee for
our next meeting to be held on
April 29 include Rev W P Wood,
Margaret Scott and Wilbur Ar
nold.
Dr. Morcom is giving vaccina
tions for small pox to infants,
preschool and school children on
next Thursday, March 28 at the
Tentorial Schoi trot 9:80 am to1
12 noon.

Ice Pool tickets are going rap
idly these days, and only two!
weeks remain before the 1940
pool will be closed.
Indirect reports from “the
scene of action,” at Nenana say
there is no indication of either an
early or late breakup. In fact
for that matter there is no cer-!
tainty there will be a breakup,
judging by the way the country;
is held in the grip of winter.
However Ncmeites still have
faith in their ability to guess and
the chances are that we may still 1
get a winner from this part of1
the country.
