Dr. C. Howard Witmer of Lancas-
gave an interesting talk on just
what sort of work these clinics are
doing and the necessity for them in
all communities. Miss Mary Ryder
also from Lancaster gave a short ad
ter
dress.
A health play, which had
worked up by the girls of the Little
Mother’s League was also an inter-
esting feature on the programme.
There were three prizes awarded.
for the three different age groups, the
first prize being a silver drinking cup
for the best baby and nearest normal
baby in its first year.
There were ten babies to compet
for this prize. Out of these ten, the
following: Edna Claire Rahm, John
Henry Roth, Goldie Mae Mumma an«
Ellis were brought before the
judges for the deeision, which was
diffiicult to arrive at. After a close
observation of the babies and their
clinical charts which had all their vis-
to the clinic recorded, and the
result of their physical examination,
which had been made from time to
time by the different physicians at-
tending the clinics, Lee Ellis
prsented with the cup.
The second prize, a silver baby
spoon, for the nearest normal child
in its second year, was awarded to
Doris Hendrix, with honorable men-
tion for Samuel Miller Warren
Snyder.
The third prize, also a silver spoon
was awarded to George Schneider,
with honorable mention for Ethel
MacDonald Bucher as a close second
The chilrren who were considered
eligible for these prizes, were those
who had been most regular in attend-
ance. The enrollment had reached
107 up to the time of our last clinic
and we hope that next season when
our work will be again started, all
these children will be again brought
to the clinics, and we are sure the
enrollment will rapidly grow. After
