EFFICIENT SERVICE
iWrs. Alice Muiquaidt Zimmerman, who has been county
health nurse here for the last 11 years, will conclude her
duties ept. 1, giving: way to a new appointee, chosen by the
county court to fill the place to be left vacant by Mrs. Zim
merman's resignation. Mrs. Zimmerman has given the
county excellent service during her period in office, and is
deserving of much commendation for her efficiency and
conscientious work, work that has brought untold benefits
to many individuals, to many families and to every section
of the county. It is with regret that we hear of her resigna
tion, yet with delight that we leiim that her successor. Miss
A. E. Erickson, comes here well qualified to take up where
Mrs. Zimmerman will leave off.
TRAINING THE JUVENILES
Willi the first playground movement completed, and so
successful that an association has been formed to continue
the program from year to year during the summers, with
two boys' camps held near here this season, and with other
similar activities on a smaller scale, farseeing observers
believe that a decided upward step in community betterment
is being taken. Already the results are apparent through
a' marked lessening' of juvenile delinquency this year, accord
ing to the police. And as years pass, even greuter results in
the moral welfare of La Grande should come to view. It
seems beyond question that supervision of the juvenile intreZ;"
tno community in both work and play, linked with proper' divided into different reading groups,
scnooi una parenuu co-operation i.s probably the greatest
single factor in upbuilding the youthful character.
