"KEEP CLEAN ALWAYS" MOnO FOR WILMETTE Health Promotion Week Suggestions Observed Throughout the Year, Says Health Commissioner Announcement of Health Promo- tion Week, April 17-23, by the Illinois State department of Public Health, is interesting to Wilmette in view of the facjt that this village, through its efficient health commissioner, Dr. E. K. Moore, and'its conscientious visit- ing nurse, Mrs. EtSma Stopka. and the splendid co-operation of all the physicians and dentists, religiously observes "Health Promotion1* during every hour of everv day of the twelve month of the year. "The greater part of what is rec- ommended by the State Department of Public Health to be accomplished during "Health Promotion Week", says Dr. Moore, "has been carried out during the entire year in Wilmette. I am o,uite sure that most, if not all of the north shore towns have done much of this work continuously through the ' various Boards of Health. JAL ROUND^OF^SCTIVrnr- AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER Wilmette's school children are in- structed daily in matters of health, sanitation and cleanliness, continued Dr. Moore. They are examined by school physicians and nurses. Child Welfare association workers are con- stantly at work examining babies and instructing mothers. The result of their work is evidenced in a surpris- iugiylow death rate among babies in this village. Births in Wilmette must be reported each month by the phy- sician or attendant in charge. While it is a good plan for Wil- mette residents to observe a "clean- up" day or week, it! is significant that the village regards this most import- ant matter as an every-day task. The streets and ..lleys of the village are immaculate and refuse is carried away every day in the year. Exterm- ination campaigns against flies and mosquitoes extend through the warm seasons of the year and shops selling foodstuffs are required by ordinance to observe to the letter the rules of sanitation. "Keep Clean Always," is Wilmette s health motto.

AN EDITORIAL When you rush out of the front door next Tuesday morning to ne- gotiate a lively sprint for the rear, coach platform of the 8:15, and your wife reminds youâ€""John,ifidn't~ybu forget something" and, when you re- trace your steps to fulfill that obli- gation, recall to mind also that you might be forgetting something else, that morning, namely, your«obliga- tion to your village. Tuesday, April 19, is annual Vil- lage Election Day. "What of it?" you say; "There's no contest. What's the use of vot- ing? President Zipf and the other candidates selected by our village leaders are good men and I'm strong for them, well satisfied that they should .be trusted with the responsi- bility of administering our munici- pal affairs. But, what's the need of voting for them? They'll get in any- way and eyerything^wilLbe O. K."__ Dangerous reasoning and a rather indifferent display of citizenship, one is moved to reply. A man said the other day-»-"f he franchise privilege is a peculiar thing. It's something we all covet and too many of us, once we have it, rarely regard with sufficient respect or in- terest." You are truly a citizen of the United States, your state, or your city only when you employ your fran- chise right upon every occasion pre- sented. ; r-.â€" Failure to vote when you can de- notes indifference towards the ad- ministrative affairs of your country, your state or your community, asjhe case may be. Voting not only is a great privilege. It is a plain duty. On Tuesday every citizen of Wil- mette interested in his village and its government, should go to the polls and vole. If President Zipf and the Citizen ticket was so good as to in- vite no opposition during the period -prescribed for filing of petitions, it is good enough to have your personal endorsement in thc ballot hox. It is good enough to merit a great vote of confidence, of encouragement, a stim- lus, as it were, that will spur them on 4o< even greater efforts in behalf of the village. Est your ballot speak plainly next Tuesday. It is the gauge by which your village officials will measure their action in prescribing for Wilmette and enforcing measure* which will be for the beat mligeitf of the community as a whole.
