Mothers Club Urges
Full Appropriation
For Health Bureau

The Progressive Mothers club; an
organization connected with the state
federation of women's clubs, passed
u number of resolutions in support of
the federal maternity and infancy act
known as the Sheppard-Towner act
and the state department OF public
health, at recent meeting.
The resolutions are, signed by the
president, Hazel N. Wilcox, and the
secretary, Myrtle Brooks. They read !:
Whereas, the state department of
Health has never received an appro-
priation sufficient to do the construc-
tive public health work in the state
which the conditions warrant, and
Whereas, the federal maternity
and infancy act known as the Shep-
pard- Towner Act will expire this
year, with it's renewal extremely
doubtful. and
Whereas, the splendid work the
child hygiene bureau of the state de-
partment of health for the past four
years will be comparative loss to
the state If not continued in its pres
ent efficiency, and
Whereas, the maternal mortal
ity rates are unjustifiably high, many
of these deaths being preventable:
We, the members of the Progress
sive Mothers Club in regular meeting
resolve:
/. That we endorse the efforts of
the state department Of health to save
human lives and commend its eff
cient work.
2. That the appropriation request
of the state department of health is
reasonable and necessary.
3. That the full amount of money
lost by the expiration of the Shep-
pard- Towner act should be supplied to
the state department of health by the
state legislature in addition to the
amount requested by the department
to support their other health activ-
tiles, including a sanitary engineer.
4. That a copy Of these resolutions
be spread upon the minutes, a copy be
sent to the press and copy be sent
to all members Of both houses from
this district.
