COUNTY HEALTH
WEEKLY LETTER
Continueing our article on the
welfare of the pre-school child.
This week we have the signs of
I health.
SIGNS OF HEALTH
There is something very attra
dive about a chubby, healthy
baby. There is also something
even more attractive about a two
year-old who is bubbling over
with energy, with merry eyes,
round cheeks, pearly teeth, and
skin with smooth tancolor. When
we see such a child we are temp
ted to turn around and look at
him again. This description of a
well child is one that should fit
all of our little children. Mothers
should strive to have their child*
ren come up to this ideal. This
means daily work and care, but
the end result repays the efforts
made.
Here are some signs of good
health in the small child. The
healthy child.
1. Has pink cheeks, red lips,
bright eyes with no circles under
them.
2. Has a straight and strong
body, smooth skin, clean teeth,
and firm muscles.
3. Grows tall and gains in
weight.
4. Is active, runs, shouts,
jumps, climbs, is always interes
ted in something, and is often
noisy.
5. Is hungry at meal times,
and sleeps soundly and long.
6 Has bowel movements every
day.
7. Ilas no abnormal discharge
from eyes, ears, or nose.
8. Breathes with mouth closed.
9. Does not have any pains or
aches.
10. To remain healthy, needs
plenty of good food, plenty of
sleep, and plenty of vigorous out
door play.
As the time approaches for the
child t o enter school, every
mother should make sure that
her child is in such good condi
tion that he will be physically
capable of profiting by the best
that the school can give, If she
can answer all of these questions
by “yes’’ she may know that her
child is well prepared to begin
his education.
1. Does my child see and hear
well?
2. Are his taeth sound and wel}
kept'?
Folder and literature are avail
able for the asking. Folder No.
10. children’s Bureau, U.S. Dept
of Labor is particularly valuable.
Now let us turn to our sanitary
program in this county for—
OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS AT
YOUK DOOR.

offered the opportunity to im
prove the sanitary conditions Os
of the county with funds made

self and your neighbor.
The same opportunity has
been eagerly accepted by one
hundred and thirty-five (135)
citiesand counties in Georgia
within the past several months.
This campaign, when completed
will have made Wheeler county a
safer place for our people to liv e
in. Will we continue to willfully
take a chance on our families
having typhoid fever, dysentry,
and other filth borne diseases
when our Government offers to
give us financial assistance in
stamping out the spread of these
diseases in our county'?
