The following show the ways in which Kiwanis clubs worked to improve health and sanitary conditions in their respective cities.
Ada, Okla. Observed national children's health day and insisted upon phy- sicians making milk inspections and tests.
Albuquerque, N. M. An appropriation was given for serum and vaccine for the County Health Department which lacked sufficient funds to carry on general health vwrk.
Anderson, Ind. Cooperation was given the Health Center, which operates with the community free clinic, so the dangers of epidemics could be elim- inated. The club carried on an educational campaign, the public reporting all contagious disea.ses promptly for immunization.
Belmar, N.
J.
Pressure was brought to bear so that the services of the com- munity nurse would be continued. The club contributes $200.00 a year for her work.Bradford, Ill. General inoculation of children to prevent diphtheria was car- ried on in December.
Bremerton, Wash. A posture clinic with prizes for the grades, high school and junior high was one of the club's activities.
Charlotte, N. C. A maternity clinic, where hundreds of destitute mothers could receive care and instruction, received the club's assistance. The work is carried on by the medical students of Duke University. In about five months there were over 105 cases which received help.
Chelsea, Mich. Health education for rural schools, health lectures for town people and the selling of tuberculosis seals, all received Kiwanis approval and help.
Erwin, Tenn. vVe were successful in having retained a county health office which consists of a doctor, a nurse and a sanitary officer.
Fall River, Mass. The club gave approximately $1,000.00 so the District Nursing Association might carry on its maternal and child welfare work.
Formerly the city supported this health service but it was necessary for the club to carry on the activity.
Fredericksburg, Va. Over $200.00 was raised to aid the Stafford County Health Association. Kiwanians repaired one home where out of a family of eleven, eight had contracted tuberculosis.
Galt, Ont. We gave $825.00 to the Victorian Order of Nurses.
Greenville, N. C. A contest was held in the county to award prizes to the healthiest girls.
Harvey, Ill. We sold $683.00 worth of Christmas seals.
Hopkinsville, Ky. After about seven years of agitation we finally succeeded in introducing a bill in the legislature for issuing bonds for a sanitary sewage system.
Indiana, Pa. We had as guests the graduating class of the Indiana Hospital.
Kirksville, Mo. A clinic for the blind and for the prevention and cure of blindness was held in November.
Mt. Vernon, Ind. Over 3,500 persons, including both adults and children, took advantage of our community-wide immunization program. A dona- tion was given to the State Sunshine Society.
Neenah, Wis. Through action of the club a dental hygienist was appointed for the schools.
New Albany, Ind. The club was active in the passage of a milk ordinance for the city.
Orlando, Fla. Free medical examination for high school students was made available by our medical society.
Pittsfield, Mass. Our third annual healthy baby show and health food expo- sition was held for six days with a total attendance of 5,709. Thirteen booths were rented to exhibitors of health articles such as food, milk, shoes, clothing and accessories. Prizes were awarded the 12 healthiest children. About $250.00 was cleared on this venture but money making is not the object of the show. The money was used for the Kiwanis Health Camp.
Pullman, Wash. Following an announcement that there would be no budget funds for the school nurse, the club decided to secure the part-time serv- ices of a nurse.
Tahlequah, Okla. There were 717 students given vaccines for the prevention of typhoid fever.
Victoria, B. C. At the Provincial Exhibition we distributed 5,000 pamphlets on the prevention of tuberculosis. Over 3,000 children were weighed and examined and advice given to parents. The tuberculosis seal campaign receipts were approximately $3,700.00.
Winnipeg, Man. We gave over $1,600.00 for purchasing equipment for a cancer clinic, a donation v:as made to the Winnipeg Health League and an anti-mosquito campaign was part of the club's health program.
Other clubs were interested in general health clinics, sanitariums and camps, in selling health seals, guarding against epidemics, purchasing equip- ment for health organizations, and giving assistance to community nurses and health officers. Securing pure milk, good water supply, proper sewage disposal and cleaning up polluted streams were other activities.
