CHILD CONFRENCE TO BE
HELD IN HERMISTON MAY 6 7
A child confrence will be held at
I he Hermiston Hotel, May 6-7, under
the direction of Mrs. Edith Van Due-
sen, Home Demonstration Agent.
She will be assisted by Miss Lassie
Lane, Nutrition Specialist from O. A.
C.
The following ladies have been
named as hostesses:
Mrs. Henry Sommerer, protect
leader, Mrs. W. J. Warner, Mrs. F. C.
McKenzie, Mrs. C. M. Jackson, Mrs.
M. D. Scroggs, Mrs. O. G. Sapper, Mrs.
W W. Felthouse, Mrs. M. A. McKern,
Mrs. Bort Haneline, Mrs. H. Benja-
mine, Mrs. F. V. Prime, Mrs. H. M
Schilling, Mrs. A. Robb.
A number of alile physicians have
offered their assistance. Each of
the physicians will have a seperate
room and one physicinn will do all
of the examining of the child. In
this way the examination will not be
so tiresome on the child and any sug-
gestions given the mother by the
physician in regard to the baby will
be strictly private and confidential.
This confrence Is not a “baby
show;” no prizes will be offered and
no scores will be published. But we
hope to help the mothers In finding
out what condition their children
are In so that any physical defects
or any eases of mal-nutrition may
have attention before they seriously
Impair the health of the child.
Mrs. Van Deusen and Miss Lane
will be prepared to answer questions
and give suggestions on more care-
ful feeding of children. Much of
the retardation of school children
could he avoided by careful feeding.
Mrs. Van Deusen experts to do 3
months follow up work, visiting any
cases of mal-nutrition and assisting
the mother in carrying out the Infor­
mation gained at the confrence.

On Monday evening Mr and
‘Scotty’ Taylor were reminded that
they were newly weds when the boys
of the school band ‘unexpectedly ap­
peared under the open window and
filled the room with muste which
spelled ‘Welcome to our city.' The
happy couple thanked the boys In a
substantial manner by sending them
to the ice cream parlor with Instruc­
tions to order anything they wanted.
It goes without saying that the boys
followed Instructions.
