gave there would be fewer babies die in the first week of life and fewer
nervous breakdowns.

Standing Committee on Child Welfare and Public Health, 1931- 1932.
For the years 1931- 1932 let us make a special effort to have every c h i l d in
A l b e r t a , under the age of sixteen years, receive a medical health examination.
B y co- operating with your local doctor and school board this can be accomplished
w i t h minimum expense. At the same time assist in having every c h i ld
vaccinated against smallpox, diphtheria and scarlet fever. There are so many
homes, especially in the outlying districts and in districts most seriously
affected by the economic depression, where the children have not been receivi
n g sufficient n o u r i s h i n g food for the past two years and as a result, have
become fit subjects for disease.
1. When a family is found suffering for want of milk, butter, eggs and
vegetables, try to have a neighbor with a surplus, " adopt" them until such
time as they have plenty of their own.
2. Encourage the serving of a hot lunch in the schools.
3. I would suggest that eadh Institute procure a copy of Dr. Helen M a c -
M u r c h y ' s blue book " L o w e r i n g the Maternal Death Rate," and follow the
suggestions she has made.
4. Let us watch w i t h interest the work accomplished by the health units
recently established in Red Deer and H i g h P r a i r i e.
5. I would suggest that we continue to take advantage of the excellent
services offered to us by the Department of Public H e a l t h by holding a baby
c l i n i c or p r o c u r i n g the services of a public health nurse to give lectures and
demonstrations on home nursing, first aid. etc., and if possible have Dr.
M a r g a r e t Owens address your Institute on " Hygiene."
I shall be very glad to give any help possible in o r g a n i z i n g for medical
health examinations and follow up medical and dental clinics. By t a k i ng
advantage of services placed at our disposal in our own communities a great
deal of good work can be accomplished.
