DEFENSE COUNPIT.
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. AVatcb for the dates when the
