NOT WOMAN'S CLUB I wish to correct a statement mudn In last week's Mist. The work which Is being taken up by the representatives from the dlf ferent woman's organisations Ih not Woman's Club work, hut entirely separuto from It. t to represent all tho women In town and Is culled by national authority. It H strictly patriotic and is a brunch of the Wo man's Committee of tho Council of National Defense. There Is also a general council but tho womau's committee will tuke up work more along woman's lino, such as child welfare, food and such work. Arrangements aro being made to have some work of tho Oregon Hy genlo Bocloty to put before the moth era at the time of the weighing tent. LOUISE HA K Kit, County Chairman, Council Defense Must I Have my Hnby Weighed? Some people may be surprised that five million or more babies huvo been entered In tho weighing and measur lug tent without any one taking 8 mother by tho bund and saying firm ly. "You muHt. I'ncle Sum says o." The children's bureau of the II. 8 Department of Labor was surprised too, that so many parents wanted to have their babies weighed and mea siired. The reuponse to the test en tlrnly outrun its highest estimates Hut it was not because any one shook a finger at the millions of children In tho United States and said, "You've got to let u h know how much you weleli, and how tall you are." The children's bureau believer that parents always want to do the thing that will enable them to be wis er parents; that they always want to do the thing that will help thelf children to be better and stronger The mothers and fathers of the country have responded with von definite decision to the Children'; Yenr appeal to work now In war time for a healthier childhood, because "the health of the child Ih the power of the nation." Tho Children's Hur- oau urges that each community see to It that the parents shall not have had their children weighed and mea sured in vain, but that they organize such permanent work for the pro tection of children as will not only save the lives of the hundred thous and children to be saved during tills Children's Year, but will muke their lives worth living, because the com munity sees that they have a fair chance of health, education and hap piness.
