REPORT or WORK
OF Child Welfare
OF SPECIAL INTEREST

The comprehensive report of the
years activities of the Child Welfare
Association given herewith is one of
especial interest at this time.
During the year Miss Soule and
Miss Reed canvassed Gardiner in or
der to find it's standing as a health
center. They urged and emphasized
more publicity with regard to health
matters so that the public might be
more interested and better informed
The high death rate among babies in
Gardiner is deplorable, the chief
causes being stated as lack of pre-
natal care, improper feeding, unneces-
sary exposure or lack OF quarantine in
case of whooping cough, and it has
been suggested that the doctors be
asked to give short talks to the moth
ers. The doctors now serve six
months at a time instead of one
month previously, and this has so
far been much better on all sides.
They have cooperated with the com
mittee and not only shown great in
terest in the work but also have given
interesting and valuable talks to the
mothers about once a month. At
meeting held January 13 Mrs. Bates
was elected to accompany Mrs. Ogg,
the president to represent the Child
Welfare Association at public health
meeting to be held the same evening.
As a result of that meeting a Health
Center for Gardiner was established
and the Baby Clinic and Child Welfare
Association meetings are now held in
the fine rooms provided for that pur-
pose and made possible by the kind
ress and generosity of some of Gar
diners citizens.
In May a pre-school clinic was held
and it is proposed to hold another as
"follow-up' work in September.
The highest attendance wason July
So 1925, when % babies were present
On three occasions. February March,
April there We're no babies present as
the weather was very stormy. Once no
clinic was held. but on each of two
very snowy days one baby appeared.
Three times it rained so heavily that
there were no babies present. How
ever, there has been an average attend
ance through the year of eight babies.
The committee feels very grateful
for the willing cooperation and good
work of the doctors and nurses, also
for the loans of cars and the assist
ance of those who bring babies to and
from the clinic. also to the members of
the Ellls Club for the use of rooms
and help in many ways before the
Health Center was established.
1t Is hoped to hold a clinic at South
Gardiner this month.

ion that Judge John ?. Deerins, Of

dates for the position are CITY Solici-
tor Clarence r. Rumery. who is said

publican Progressive administration
in the city. and Judge George /.
Emery, who retired from the position
