Mothers Day Gives Opportunity
to Stress Rights of Parent

Mothers of the past, the present and
the future, their sacrifices, their i'm
perishable love, and never ending in
fuence will be honored and revered
on Sunday, May IA, in the worldwide
observance of Mothers Day. The
dedication of special day each year
to the memory of the worlds mothers
is an outgrowth of a tribute paid to
commemorate the work and quiet
service of a busy mother during the
dark days of the Civil War. The idea
spread to other countries-to Eng
land, France, Spain, Italy, Belgium,
Austria, Japan, China and Africa
and now the observance is practically
worldwide. Since 1913, when Presi-
dent Wilson issued a proclamation
designating the second Sunday in May
as Mothers Day, the nationwide OBJ
servance of the day in the United
States has taken on that day.
Mothers Day recalls very precious
memories to all of u.s." DR.. j. H. M.
Knox, Chief of the Bureau of Child
Hygiene of the State Department Of
Health, said recently, But to those
of us who are interested in public
health, and particularly to those of US
who are concerned with the health of
mothers and young childrep, Mothers
Day gives a special opportunity, not
only to give honor and pay tribute to
all mothers, but to stress the right
of every mother-to-be to adequate
care And by adequate care, we mean
skillful, intelligent care, before, dur
ing, and after the baby's birth.
Partly because of financial condi-
tions, and partly because some moth
ers and fathers do not realize how i'm
portant it is for the health and we'll

the baby is expected. Physicians are
glad to give such care to eXpectant
mothers in their own practice. The
mothers who have this care, have an
excellent chance to come through the
ordeal safely and without complica-
tions. Their babies have better
start than do those of the mothers
who have drifted along without care.
"In Baltimore City, and in nearly
all of the larger cities of this country,
provision is made for health supervis-
ion of expectant mothers of limited
means, who do not have doctors Of

natal clinics. Similar clinics have
been established in six of our Mary
land counties-Harford, Cecil, Allie

of this sort will be available to all
women who need it, in every part Of
