parts of the country then we could RECENT report by the Children's Bureau, Department of Labor, reveals that babies and their mothers, in the United States, have better chance to keep alive today than they had ten years ago. During the decade 1938-43, the birthrate rose and the infant mortality rate in the same period dropped more babies born and more of them kept alive. Better still, fewer mothers by 61 lost their lives at bearing babies in 1943 than in 1938, the drop being from 62 to 24 deaths per 000 live births. "The major credit," according to Dr. Martha M.

Eliot, associate chief of the bureau, "goes to the doctors, those in private practice and in public service, for the work they 1 have done in their care of women during pregnancy and the improved care they are able to give at childbirth and after delivery and in the dangerous early days and months of the baby's life. Improvement in hospital care also came in for large part of the credit. Economic Status "Improvement in the economic status of many families is also an important factor. Many women have been able to have a better diet during pregnancy and the diet of the mother affects her child's wellbeing as well as her own. More women were able to have their babies in hospitals, and hospitals are the safest place for a baby to be born." Still another important factor, emphasized by Dr.

Eliot, has been the extension of maternal and child health services under the Social Security program. "But great as the reduction has been," observed Dr. Eliot, "the record is still not good enough, for thousands of the 118,000 babies and of the 7,000 mothers whose lives are lost each year, die need. lessly. If the care we know so well how to give were available to all groups of the population in all Gust Beimfohr Named Head of Brotherhood Large Dinner Party Is Arranged By Players The guest night buffet dinner party on Thursday evening promises to be one of the social highlights of the season for the Twin City Players, and their guests.

Education of Expectant Parents Aiding and abetting doctors in reducing mortality among infants and their mothers have been the various avenues of education of the public, especially of prospective mothers, through public health centers, books, pamphlets, special articles in magazines and newspapers, and radio talks. The Children's Bureau has done an outstanding service throuh its bulletins. Nor has all the education in relation to bringing babies into the world been limited to physical facts or directed to prospective mothers alone. There has been a growing emphasis on the psychological aspects -the emotional factors in the pregnant mother's and the part the husband has in furthering or hampering her morale. Indeed, his attitude may help determine whether or not she seeks early and adequate medical advice and care during her pregnancy.

Hardly a physician would deny that emotional well-being favors physical well-being. See what a vital part the husband may have in prompting the pregnant mother's emotional health. I have prepared a selected list of books and pamphlets for expectant parents, which list may be had in a stamped envelope. Solving Parent Problems My daughter, 15, plays the piano very well.
