MORE SUN FOR CHILDREN WILL BOOSTHEALTH Nutrition Camp Policy Is Urged on Parents as Good Practice in Home. This is the third of several articles upon child nutrition work in Marion County. , Joining the Children’s Bureau of the United States Department of Labor the Marion County Tuberculosis Association has decreed “fewer clothes, more sun for children,” at the new child nutrition camp at Bridgeport as a part of the general program of community disease prevention sponsored constantly by the association and fiananced by the sale of Christmas seals. Miss Arnie Wadsworth, resident matron at the camp emphasized the fact that facilities are designed to provide all possible sunshine for the undernourished children. Scientific investigation has proven that undernourished children will respond to carefully regulated diet, proper recreation periods and sun treatment in most instances, Miss Wadsworth said. Tradition Hinders She advocates similar child health protection by all parents. She quoted a statement from the Children’s Bureau emphasizing the fact that summer in this climate is a good time to rebuild child health, usually broken somewhat by the rigorousness of school days. The Children’s Bureau points out, Miss Wadsworth said, that the institution of sun baths for babies and young children in any American community is not easy, because tradition and convention have been opposed to them for many genera-

tions. “Climatic condition in many parts of this country make warm clothing a necessity during the winter season,” the children’s bureau says. I “During the spring, summer and fall, however, babies and little children wear much more clothing than is necessary. One has only to take off a baby’s or a little child’s clothing and watch him play in the sun to know that it is convention and not instinct which /demands clothing at this age. Back Yard Will Do “Tradition also says that sunlight may injure a baby’s eyes. If the baby’s face is turned so that the eyes look away from the sun or if the older child wears a cotton shade hat in hot weather, the eyes will not be injured. New traditions and conventions must be established by small groups and slowly the rest of the community will follow. “The technique of the sun bath will vary somewhat according to locality, climate, season, weather and facilities in the home. Sunlight is free to all and sun baths can be given to all babies at some season of the year. “A corner of or porch should be selected where the morning sun shines warmly, but where the child will be protected from the wind. Here the baby’s hands and face and head may be exposed to the sun for varying lengths of time beginning with five or ten or even fifteen minutes and increasing gradually during the month as the sun gets Warmer.” Parents whp have visited the children at the health camp after a week or two of the systematic health-building program express surprise at the development made.

No Appeal in PlaygroundCourt for ‘Lawbreakers

“The Court of No Appeals” was inaugurated this week atf Brookside Park playgrounds by Miss Jeanette Riggin and Miss Nellie Bloom, Instructors. . . Crimes ranging from murder to vagrancy havf been tried, but in most cases the sentences have been about the same. Among the penalties are picking up waste paper for fifteen minutes, replacing sand in the sand pile, taking small stones off .the tennis court, and sitting quietly beside the'matron for five or ten minutes. The court at first was all “just in fun” with make-believe crimes and sentences. Children at the playground were the judge, jury, prosecutor and attorney for the defendant. One of the instructors was the “Supremfe Court.” _ But now the children have appointed policemen and a regular court. Arrests are made for infractions of the few playground rules like walking up the slides, standing on top of the ladders and rough play. The court Is in session about three times a week. Unlike tegular “justice,” there is no appeal from sentences.

Fifty in Cast for Play to Be Given on Grounds Next i A dance pageant, “The Festival of j Seasons,” will be given next Friday children at the Fall Creek playground under the direction of Miss Hazel Abbett, supervisor, who will have general charge. More than fifty boys and girls will have parts in the entertainment. Miss Elizabeth Major, matron, designed the paper costumes. Miss Margaret Jordan, instructor, taught the children the dances. Six of the little “snow drops" who will take part are Lillian Kay, Betty Minta, Mary MeConshay, Betty Lou Murray and Silvia Fishbein. Jeanette Elkins is a “leaf.” “Staging a dance pageant sounds very simple,” said Miss Jordan. “But we have run into some unexpected complications. The girls are more than willing to dress up in the cute little costumes, but it is worse than pulling teeth to get the boys dressed up. "At first, none of the boys wanted to be Pluto. Finally one of them consented, but stipulated that he must be allowed to dress in white trousers and a blue coat. “Little boys would rather go fishing and play golf than dance in costumes with little girls,” Miss Jordan said. A part of next week’s play was given Tuesday night during the fifteen minutes’ intermission in the band concert.

Harding St., was crowned city playground golf champion Wednesday with a score of 280 for seventy-two -holes over a starting field of thirty-two boys from 9 to 16 years of age, at Spades Park golf course. Richard Hoffbaur, 1302 N. Tacoma Ave., was second with 287; Arthur Schonccker, third; Ted Rubbler, fourth; Robert McClimon, fifth, and Roger Dean, Frank Cameron and Hearsey Collier tied for sixth place. Play started Monday with eighteen holes, and continued Tuesday with another eighten, and finished Wednesday with thirty-six holes. Jesse P. McClure, city, recreation director, sponsored the matches, and Robert Nipper and Lewis Skinner, playground supervisors, were directly in charge. „ A silver loving cup was given as first prize. Second prize was a golf bag donated by Harry Schopp, South Grove golf course professional. The first eight winners will be given one free golf lesson by Schopp. The nine-hole Spades course was constructed by boys of the playgrounds under the direction of Nipper. The longest hole is less than 100 yards, and only a mashic and putter were used by players. A tennis court which could not be put in use this year because'of lack of recreation funds was used a hazard. The plowed ground and tali’ weeds caught many of the short and hooked or sliced “drives.” R. Walter Jarvis, superintendent of parks and recreation, presented the prize;- at the close of the tournament at Spades Park. He commended the boys for their clean

sportsmanship and advised them to stick with golf because of its qualities in instilling fair play. One of the thrills of closing play was a hole-in-one made on the sixth green by Junior Erath. The mashie shot from the tee rolled directly into the cup after a short bounce. It was the second hole-in-one since the opening of the course tw’o weeks ago. Two 9-year-old boys, the youngest in the tournament, shot 400 and 373 each. They were William Taylor and Keith Jackson. A number of the younger boys dropped out of play after the first eighteen when their scores mounted. Others stuck regardless of their score so they could establish a record to shoot at in the second annual tourney next year. Rudler set a course record of thirty for the last nine holes of tourney play. He placed fourth. STANDINGS Richard Carlsted.2Bo William Tavtor.,.4oo Richard Hojbaur.2B7 Gene Oldham..!. .318 A.
