CHILD WELFA ARE
Financial Support is Given
Movement for Baby Parade
During Welfare Week.

Financial responses for defraying
the expenses of the Child Welfare
movement which will be held here
all of next week, under the auspices
of the Board of Health and cooper
ating organizations, have been par
ticularly gratifying and show that
the community in general is in fav-
or of activities for the betterment
of the children. A request for con-
tributions in yesterdays Evening
News have brought forth results to
the amount of $110- and ten prizes.
The baby parade to be held Mon
day will start off the events in the
week which on Thursday and Fri
day will take the form of lectures
and exhibits in the High School au-
ditorium on Nutrition" in which
the local authorities will specialize,
and stress being laid on the subject
in the schools the entire week.
Fifty cents each from John Amos
and Martin Snyder.
Mothers, school children and ba-
bies are eligible to join the parade
and it is desired that entries be made
to DR.. Thompson of the Board of
Health prior to the parade so that
numbers be given the participants.
Parents are urged to decorate the
carriages and enter their babies and
children in the parade. The nurses
of the city. including the school
nurses. Board of Health nurses and
state nurses, will also march and it
is hoped that there will be several
floats in line. The Kelly McAlinden
Company has already expressed their
intention of entering fioat and the
Girls Club assured the authorities
that they would be on hand with an
attractive float.
Float entries should also be made
to DR.. Thompson as soon as is pos
sible and the participants of the pa
rade should designate in what capa-
city they will join, giving name and
address. Merchants are urged to dec
crate their windows for the event
