VITAL STATISTICS
LAW BEING VIOLATED

Attention Of the physicians in
Mishawaka is called 10 the fact that
some mem bers Of the profession are
violating the law in not reporting
births to City Health officer DR..
Dresch within as hours after a child
is born. Many OF the local physi-
clans allow births they attend 10 60
unreported to the health officer for
two or three weeks. their slowness
in the matter being for no other
reason than neglect. Cases might
arise within two or three days aft
er a child's birth wherein confus-
ing or even embarrassing complca-
tions might result If the report has
not been made by the attending
physician as the law specifically
prescribes.
