There are no strings attached to the plan and no admission will be charged to anyone, The proposition is cer­ tainly a very generous one and the buying puplic should keep these places in mind in making their pur­ chases.

M.. until 4:00 P, M. The Round-Up will be. conducted under the direction of the State De­ partment of Health and the Greene County Board of Health, The local physicians will assist in the work. A complete examination of each child will be made in order to deter­ mine their physical condition, Special attention will be given to the eyes, ears and throat. The examination is not compulsory, but parents are urged to take advan­ tage of this service, since the work will be conducted by competent physi­ cians and also it is free of charge, , I t is essential that a complete check up be made of a child’s health before entering school, especially for the first year.

The report of the treasurer showed all hills paid, leaving an unexpended balance of about $1,000 on hand, The budget for the year was about $32,000 for all purposes. This considered a remarkable showing during the pres­ ent business depression and wothry of public interest.
