However, he stressed the importance o f prevent­ ing goiters from obtaining a start by beginning with the mothers who have defective thyroid glands and then beginning iodine treatments with infants when they begin taking general food. He said that in this part o f the northwest everyone should use iodized salt o f two per cent strength for household uses and that children in addition should be given the iodine tablets weekly until they reach adolescence. This instructive talk by Dr. Else was given under the auspices of the Jackson County Public Health asso­ ciation, who invited him here as a means o f educating the community along health lines. The Jackson County Health Unit held the first o f its summer pre­ school clinics in the county, Friday, April 23 at the home o f Mrs. Pete Betz in the Reese Creek district.

Twelve gentlemen also w%re present. The large house was well filled. The evening was spent in games, social converse and music. The old sajing that older people are only grown up children was well demonstrated. Mr. and Mrs. Harris are splendid hosts. They made us hope we may go out there again. The “ eats” committee had found an abundance o f the very best things. These were also well received. Quite a little zest was added to the occasion when it was found that the day was 1 the thirty-sixth anniversary o f the [ graduation o f Mr. Harris from high school, and was also the ninth anni­ versary o f the wedding o f Mr. and ; Mrs. Harris. We were really cele­ brating. The affair was under the direction o f the “ Look-out” commit­ tee o f the Bible class. Mrs. Hub­ bard and her helpers served well. Thcwbicycle rodeo sponsored by E. L.
