Hundreds of school children
throughout Washington county are
making the acquaintance of Mrs. Ag
nita Smith, the county public health
nurse, ana are learning that she will
viBit them often in their classrooms
for the purpose of giving them health
supervision, in the past two weeks,
Mrs. Smith, accompanied by Miss
Jane C. Allen, state advisory nurse,
has been visiting the different com
munity centers of the county and she
will soon have worked out a regular
schedule by which she hopes to get
over ine wen Beetled sections ol tne
county at least once a month.
- Each week's visit to a community
center will include, along with per
sonal calls in some of the homes
where she may be needed for ad
vice of instruction, at least half of
lacli day in the schools. She plans
ve talks to pupils on right health
;f living and will also inspect
mptoms of physical defects,
1 poor vision, diseased tonsils,
t etc., certain pupil selected
eachers.. This inspection is
ipulsory. Parents are asked
ir the teachers if they wish

l urse to look after tuberculosis

alth nurse; that is she is inter-
I in every type of case where
re there is an opportunity for
to ao preventative work. Her
ssion is good health and how to
,,et it and keep it She is interested
m aeiping mothers Keep their babies
well and strong. She wants to show
them how to keep the children of
pre-school age healthy, and for the
children in school she endeavors to
see to it that they are given a fair
chance to develop as nature intends
them to, both mentally and physical
ly. In other words, the public
health nurse believes in prevention as
more worth while than cure, hence
she spends a good share of her time
working for the good health ef babies
and children. .

PEOPLE ATTENDING O. A.C.
Although few of our' townspeople
realise it, Beaverton is well repre

BOYS ROB DEPOT OTHER
DEPRADATIONS ADMITTED
Sunday night of last week while L.
L. Leavitt, second trick operator at
the S. P. denot was at BUDner. some
one broke into and robbed the money
drawer of $10. Thursday night the
trick was repeated. Investigation led
to the apprehension of four local
boys, Peter Kepro, aged 6; Joe Kep
ro, aged 10, Frank Miller, aged 12
and Cecil Barnes, aged 14. Sheriff
Alexander was called and assisted by
the S. P. detective, deputy Elmer
(stipe and others, the lads were ques
tioned. They admitted that the two
Kepro boys had committed the bur-
glary and that the other boys had
shared in the money. Other minor
burglaries from stores and garages
were admitted by the two younger
Doys and tne money and most ol the
stolen property was returned. The
case is now before the juvenile court,
Beaverton may become the location
of a cannery which will prove a ready
and profitable marked for lorries
and vegetables as well as the many
fruits grown her if th directors of
the Pacific Potato Starch Company
accept the offer of support from the
members of the Beaverton Commer
cial Club which was tendered at til
meeting - Wednesday night. , During
the meeting of the club th matter
was brought up and a committee com
posed of Doy Gray, E. E. Swenson
and Otto Enckson submitted resolu
tions Which were unanimously adopt
ed. . . . ' - "
Discussion of the cases of juvenile
delinquency which have occurred ' in
town developed the belief among the
business men that the matter must
not go by default although many
doubted the wisdom of Beeing the
youngsters go to the reform school.
It was the sense of the meeting that
a committee be appointed to acquaint
the juvenile court with the full facts
in the case. -
Road reports showed that the road
meeting in the Sorrento district had
defeated the tax because of an effort
to combine the - district with the
Scholls district had lea to a division
of opinion. District No. 10 voted
$2,000 for Lombard Street extension
south from the city limits to the
edge of the district, $1,000 for the re-
pair of the road leading west from
the city limits, $2000 to connect with
the new rock on the Short Cut road
and $120 to enable J. T. Williams to
connect with the Canyon road.

Elsewhere in this issue of the
Beaverton Times you find a brief an
nouneesnent of th work of Mrs. Ag
nita Smith who is to be th school
visiting nurse for Washington Coun
ty. Mrs. Smith is wall qualified both
in experience aad training for th
work ah is to do. She not only is
a trained nurse but has taken a spe
cial course in community and social
work along th lines required and for
th last several months she has been
visiting nurse in the Portland
schools. How fortunate we are to
have on a well qualified to start the
work among us.
Washington County is the seventh
county in the state to have a public
health nurse and other counties are
to- be added as time goes on. The
funds for the first three months for
the maintainanc of this work in our
community come from the sale of
Xmas Red Cross stamps by the Ore-
kvi xuuexvuiuai puewty. rur wis
last two years this society has been
devoting these funds in Oregon to the
establishment of public health nurs
ing in our state. , This is a fact which
will surprise many of us. We have
purchased a few Red Cross stamps
each Xmas not knowing that the
bread we have cast upon the waters
is being returned to us in such an
unexpected way. it should surely
encourage us to make the sale of
Red Cross stamps in this community
a record breaker each year from now
on. After th first three months
it is hoped that Washington county
will so recognise the value of the nub-
lic health nurse that the work will be
continued by the county without out
side aid in financing.
Mrs. Smith brings to Washington
county her training and experience
to help us nave a healthier commun
ity and I am sure that w will mc.
ognise our opportunity ana support
mis won wnoieneanediy. ine peo
ple now back of it are earnest In
wishing to help us. Every large city
every large community, now recog
nizes the necessity of the public
health nurse. It is no longer an ex
periment. It has been tried and
found good. . We want better schools,
we want better conditions . for our
children. Here is a chance to add to
the betterment of our community.
We wish people to say of Washington
county that the same Educational,
social and moral conditions prevail
here as in any of the best organised
communities of this land. We can
bring this about by doing our best
toward every good opportunity that
comes along. I am sure Beaverton
community is. going to hold up the
standard in this endeavor Just
