GOVERNOR ASKS OBSERVANCE
OF CHILD HEALTH DAY MAY 1.
Governor John S. Fisher has issued
a statement asking proper considera-
tion of the growing importance of
May 1 now designated thraughout
the United States as Child Health
Day.
The Governor pointed out that each
succeeding year witnesses definite
progress in physical betterment of
the people of Pennsylvania but as-
serted that “We still know far better
than we do,” urging no cessation in
efforts to establish good health rec-
ords.
The Governor's statement in full
was as follows:
“The approach of the Sixth Annual
Celebration of May Day Child Health
Day is a signal for again calling the
attention of citizens of our Common-
wealth to the growing importance of
this yearly awakening of interest in
and practical work for Health, es-
pecially of young children.
“The States of this nation are now
united in following the lead of the
Congress and of President Hoover;
for both have let it be known that all
agencies and organizations may fit-
tingly join in arousing all the people
to more and more effort for the pro-
tection and development of the well-
being of the nation’s children.
“Bach year now witnesses definite
progress in health matters in this
Commonwealth. 1928 saw a still fur-
ther reduction in deaths from typhoid
fever, tuberculosis, respitory diseases,
enteric diseases, diphtheria and scar-
let fever. Especially should attention
be called to a distinct drop in the ma-
ternal death rate.
“There were also, in the past year,
many more defect corrections in
school children than in any previous
year. More school nurses are at work
giving their invaluable help. Many
more of the little army of a million
and a half pre-school children were
started on the path to better physical
condition for entering school.
“There is nothing to be more high-
ly prized than healthy children, and
the need for better understanding of
their care and protection must be
more fully realized. At every danger
point the hazards of life must be cut
down. Our goal is still far off. Not
yet are all general living conditions
improving; not yet is all water safe,
all milk pure.
“We still know far better than we
do.
“Let every agency whether. g®v-
ernmental or private whether educa-
tional, social or religious increase its
zeal, enlarge its ambitions, and so
make May Day better Child Health
Day than ever.”
MANY CONVENTIONS |
COMING TO STATE COLLEGE. |
More conventions and meetings of
prominent organizations and societies
will be held on the campus of the
Pennsylvania State College this year
than ever before, according to E. K.'
Hibsham, assistant to the president
of the colleeg in charge of public re-
lations. Sixteen dates have been set
for various meetings of organizations,
including several national groups,
which will bring thousands of visitors
to the college.
For the second consecutive time
State College has been selected as the
meeting place for the National Oil
and Gas Power conference which will
be held there this year from June 24
to 27. The American Society of Re-
| frigeration Engineers will also meet
there this year from June 19 to 22.
Other meetings scheduled to be held
at the college are: the Industrial con-
ference of the School of Engineering,
May 16, 17 and 18; Young Club Lead-
ers, June 17 to 22; Young Farmers’
Week, June 18 to 20; Farmers’ Day,
June 20 to 21; Young Peoples Branch
of the W. C. T. U., June 24 to 29;
State supervising principals, August
8 to 10; Grange Lecturers, August 12
to 15.
Mrs. Anna Botsford Comstock,
known as the “mother of nature
study” is one of a number of promi-
nent naturalists and authors who
have been engaged as special lectur-
ers for the nature camps to be held
from June 27 to July 18 and from
July 17 to August 7. Mrs. Comstock
will spend a week in each camp
where she will give two lectures or
nature readings each day.
Others who have been engaged as
special lecturers for the camps are:
Earnest Thompson Seton, naturalist,
lecturer and author; Dr. W. Elmer
Ekblaw, associate professor of geog-'
raphy, Clark University, and editor
of Economic Geography, who was
geologist and botanist with the Mac-
Millan-Crockerland Arctic expedition
from 1913 to 1917; Dr. Albert F.
| Ganier, naturalist and ornithologist
(who was formerly curator for the
Tennessee Ornithological Society and
past president of both the Wilson
Ornithological Club and the Tennes-
see Academy of Science; Dr. George
M. Sutton, director of education and
research and State Game Commis-
sioner of Pennslyvania who was for-
merly ornithologist for the Carnegie
Museum, Pittsburgh; and Mary Jane
Cooper, supervisor of nature study, |
Johnstown. !
PURCHASING QUAIL.
It will be interesting to the sports-
men to learn that while the Game
Commission’s original order for quail
from Mexico could not be supplied
due to the heaviest drought in that
section for twen.y years, 5,000 birds
were finally secured from Texas and
shipments have already started.
~ Now is the time
to fix up your
MODEL
T FORD
RIGHT now, after winter lay-ups and winter driving, is
the time to go over your Model T and find out just what
it needs in the way of replacement parts and adjustments.
For a very small cost, you may be able to protect and
maintain your investment in the car and get thousands
of miles of additional service.
To help you get the fullest use from your car, the
Ford Motor Company is still devoting a considerable
section of its plants to the manufacture of Model T parts
and will continue to do so as long as they are needed
by Ford owners.
These parts are quickly available through Ford deal
ers in every section of the country. Note the low prices

———— —S
DEATH VALLEY
A FIERY FURNACE.
Four thousand feet below Ryan, '
Cal., which clings to a mountainside
honeycombed with mines, is Death
Automobiles and motor busses this
month wind down the 15-mile length
of Furnace Creek wash, from Ryan !
to the valley floor, carrying hundreds
of tourists from California and the
East to explore the vast, mysterious
color-filled and aminous sink. !
The motor caravans will continue
throughout April. On the first day
of May all this life and movement,
so foreign to Death Valley, will cease.
The luxurious hotels there and at
furnace Creek, on the valley floor,
will close.
The heat will come. ’
One man, perhaps, will remain at
Furnace Creek ranch, which today
shows as a solitary patch of green
in the great panorama which unfolds
below Ryan to the north and west.
The writer talked with the man
who held solitary dominion over all
Death Valley last summer; the care-
taker at Furnace Creek ranch.
“No, I won't stay there this sum-
mer,” he assured me, and added, with
a touch of grave naivete: “It’s too
hot. i
“The thermometer went up to 138
stays between 120 and 130.
“A man can hardly stand it, you
know. When the night wind sets in
from either end of the valley, north
or south, it seems like it’s going to
kill you. Its a great, hot, alkaline
! blast, and you can’t get out of it.
The heat and the wind, and the ter- |
rible loneliness, is more than I want
to go through again. I'm leaving this
summer. 2
“Sure, someone will have to stay.
There are cows there, and the ranch
must be kept up for the folks who
will come to Furnace Creek Inn and
Ryan again in the fall.
“The cows seem to stand the heat
all right. It kills dogs and cats,
though, and humans barely survive
it?
The valley at this time of the year
is pleasant in the extreme. The at-
mosphere is bright and clear, the
days warm and nights crisply cool.
Only for the past two years has
Death Valley really been added to
the accessible scenic attractions of
the West. Prior to that time, when
the Pacific Coast Borax Co. was op-
erating its mines at Ryan, trouble
enough was encountered in caring
for the miners and furnishing them
with food and water without encour-
aging tourists to wander in, become
lost and necessitate weary, desperate |
rescue parties.
The mines have not been operating !
| this year and last, however, a depos- |
it of borax having been discovered in
the Mojave Desert closer tor Los An-
geles that will care for the world’s
needs for the next 200 years, with
the ore now in sight.
Since then, the State has built au-
tomobile roads into and across the
valley, the Automobile Club of South-
ern California has placed hundreds of
direction, warning and “water” signs,
and the versatile borax corporation
has built two fine hotels.
Death Valley itself, at this time
of the year, is almost past descrip-
tion. There is, perhaps, nothing in
the world quite like it.
From Dante’s View, a precipitous
cliff in the Funeral Mountains a half
dozen miles from Ryan, the highest
and lowest points in the western
hemisphere are visible.
Death Yalley lies a mile directly
below, vague in the heat waves, its
floor 310 feet below sea level. To
the northwest is Mount Whitney,
towering two and a half miles in the
air.
The effect of a great, shallow river
ticularly vivid from Dante’s View.
This phantom of water in a seared
and terrible land lured hundreds to
death in the early days of California.
The river in reality, is a white sweep
or borax and salt.
The cliffs of the Panamints to the
west and the Funeral range on the
east are fantastically eroded, and of
vivid hues of red, gold and gray.
Water does exist on the valley floor,
but it is salt water; peculiar pools
like volcanic eruptions in the rugged,
snow-like salt sink. This salt is
known to extend to a depth of 1,000
feet, which is as far as it has been
tested.
NATIONAL EGG WEEK
SET FOR MAY 1 TO 7
National Egg week will be observed
May 1 to 7 under the auspices of the
National Poultry council, according
to an announcement by Professor
H. C. Knandel, head of the poultry
department at the Pennsylvania
State College. This is the fourth
year that this national celebration
has been staged.
Poultry farmers, distributors, store-
keepers, consumers, scientists, edu-
cators, and organization workers will
participate in the activities of the
week. Plans have been laid by state
committees in every State to develop
a strong program of benefit to the
consuming public. Knandel declared.
Attention will be called to the value
of eggs through press notices, radio
messages, appropriate advertising,
posters and stickers, exhibits, pa-
rades and menus.
A great many interesting, instruc-
tive miscellaneous stunts are being
planned in many sections of the
country in the nature of demonstra-
tions by home economics workers,
and community contests, such as egg
| hunts and races, in which the chil-
dren can take an active part.
“Twenty years ago poultry was a
sadly neglected sideline on the aver-
age farm,” said Professor Knandal.
“Today the poultry industry is sixth
from the top of our more valuable
agricultural products, corn, cotton,
hay, and forage and swine. There
are now over four million hens on
American farms.”
