Corrective Steps Should be
Taken Before Opening
Of Term, Advice
Fully 42 per cent of the chil
dren of pre-school age who have
been given health examinations
this summer have shown some de
fects in nutrition, mostly under
weight, according to Dr. Vernon
A. Douglas, city-county health of
ficer. Also, more than 65 per Cent
have shown defects in teeth and
all of these defects while not es
pecially serious, may be corrected
before the child enters school.
In fact. Dr. Douglas says very
few children are without some
mlntrr defect which are not ser
ious if corrected in time. Many of
these minor deftcts may be rem
edied before the school year in
Salem opens September 22.
According to health records
made 'at the Marion county
Health Unit, 434 Korth xHigh
street where appointments mal be
made tor examinations of chil
dren, fully 68 per cent of children
of pre-school age show some ton
sil defects that may be: corrected,
23 per cent nose defects and even
IS per cent defects in feet.

At Health Center
Parents are urged ; by Dr.
Douglas to have their children of
pre-school age taken to the family
physician for health examination
or to the Marion county health
unit at 4 3 4 . North High 'street.
By having this attended to now,
the confusion of the first week at
school will be avoided;
Health examinations are now
part of the school requirements
and if this is done before school
opens, so much the better, Dr.
Douglas says.

By ALAN GOULD
. NEWPORT. R. L. Sept. 13.
(AP) -Enterprise, sliding
through the mists like a big
white ghost, ran away from
Shamrock V today in a moderate
breeze and Sir Thomas Lipton's
quest for America's cup again
took on the aspect of a fruitless
chase after another will o' the
wisp.
The first race of the series,
sailed over a 30-mile leeward
and windward course in the open
sea southeast of Newport, was
won decisively by the American
defender, which needs three
more victories to keep the clas
sic trophy safely at home.
Enterprise, ably skippered by
Harold S. Vanderbilt, led from
start to finish, though it was
close enough at several stages of
the leeward run when the Amer
ican boat was no more than 60
yards in front. The slim, trim
Yankee-built sloop had a margin
of two minutes and seven seconds-
at the 15-mile mark. On
the beat home she increased to
a final margin of two minutes
and 52 seconds.
Vanderbilt Loses
Time at Finish
The gap between defender and
challenger might have been
mudi wider had not Skipper
Vanderbilt, either by choice or
necessity, lost at least a min

line.
Enterprise's elapsed time was
4 hours, 3 minutes and 48 sec

for the 30-mile course.
At such times as the sun suc

Chinese delegation notified the
