i <br /> 83 <br /> ing testing in schools. Since we do not own a set of <br /> either test, we must depend upon borrowing both at <br /> such a time when it is convenient for the owners to lend <br /> it. This does not help our schedule any. In fact, it <br /> j' seems as if everything is never done. We could finish <br /> with either set in two days, and we'd appreciate it early <br /> in the season. A number of children were found to be <br /> in need of referral to an otologist for hearing and an <br /> eye specialist for vision. However, since many of their <br /> parents were financially unable to provide glassess or <br /> hearing treatments, these children have been neglected <br /> j because we simply had no money for either hearing or <br /> vision corrections. We hope a stable health fund will <br /> be created by which these important corrections may <br /> be financed. Three children were seen by Dr. Riemer, <br /> oculist, at Cape Cod Hospital. <br /> Five children had X-rays at Pocasset, but since the <br /> County Health Camp was discontinued, none of the <br /> Mashpee children got away to camp. Several children <br /> have attended orthopedic and other clinics, at which <br /> time transportation was given by the Red Cross, which <br /> never fails us in an emergency. <br /> Dr. Moore had one Well Child Conference in June <br /> with a 70% attendance, for children entering school in <br /> i <br /> the fall. Dr. Moore also gave valuable time for medical <br /> examinations in the school. It would seem that the <br /> Mashpee parents' cooperation for a worthwhile project <br /> i <br /> like a Well Child Conference should make a better show- <br /> ing than only 70% attendance. <br /> The hot school lunch continues to serve the health <br /> needs of our children. We wish we could instill in all <br /> people the need to conserve and waste nothing, partic- <br /> ularly food because so many children in the world are <br /> hungry and malnourished. <br /> � I j <br />
