Denny, director ot health at Mooseheart, stresses the value of prevention. Living in com fortable suburban-type homes about 20 children to each dwelling the boys and girls are constantly under the watchful eyes of the housemothers. Any child with the slightest sign of trouble, even a scratch or a minor cold, is sent off to the modern 65-bcd hospital for treatment. Prompt Treatment Cited "The fact that the children are spared Irial-and-error home rem edies," Dr. Denny says, "is prob ably no small factor in maintain ing good health in the commu nity." Core of the hcallh-care program is the hospital and dental clinic. The hospital was presented to Mooseheart in 1919 by the Phila delphia Moose Lodge. It is solely responsible for, and administers to, the illness of any child. Through its prompt treatments:, serious difficulties usually are cor rected before they start. The children are immunized against all communicable diseases SPECIAL SCOUT TROOP, one of the few of its kind in the United States is sponsored by the Roseburg Moose Lodge for handicapped boys, Harold Lester, left, is scoutmaster and Dennis Linnell, right, assistant scoutmaster.
