GLEN HALLAM'S PROMOTION

Clement B. Hallam has become
executive editor of the News
Journal papers in Wilmington. His
promotion is proper recognition
of a long and honorable career in
newspaper work with which all
Delawareans are familiar and a re-
ward for loyal and able service
which has brought genuine joy and
qualification to all those who have
known Glenn HaJlam these many
years. Starting at the foot of the
ladder as cub reporter in 1897,
Clem Hallam went up to the top
without missing a single rung.
From cub to staff man, political
writer, city editor, managing editor
of the Journal-Every Evening and
now executive editor of the News
Journal papers, including both the
Journal-Every Evening and Morn
ing News, Mr.. Hallam made the
grade entirely upon his merits as
a good newspaper man and an in
defatigable worker. Able, aggres-
sive, Glenn Hallam will undoubted-
ly keep these two Wilmington DAHL
les on a high plane of journalistic
excellence of which their city and
State may feel proud.

CHILD HEALTH
DAY APPOINTED
FOR MAY FIRST

In accordance with the proclama-
ton issued few days ago by Presi-
dent Roosevelt setting aside the first
day of May as Child Health Day,
Maryland will join the rest of the
country in the nationwide observance
cf that day. At the suggestion of the
U. S. Children's Bureau, the slogan
for this years celebration is Health
and Security for Every Child"
Speaking of the significance of
Child Health Day, DR.. R. H. Riley,
Director of the State Department of
Health said "The purpose of the cele-
bration is to focus the attention of ev-
cry grown-up on the inherent right
of every child to good parentage; to
health and intelligent care; to protec-
ton from disease; to wholesome en-
vironment; to opportunities for nor
NAL growth and development, physical

matter of controversial nature.
There is no doubt that he was, to
a certain extent, right in his esti-
mates. His political news stories as
well as his editorials were read eager
ly in anticipation of what was his
next point of attack, and what might
be the result. They produced much
comment and gave the paper public
ity.

piness and sense of well-being that
comes from individual achievement.
Responsibility for the realization of
these rights is shared by all branches
of government and by communities
as we'll as by fathers and mothers,
teachers, and all others directly con-
cerned with the care and guidance of
growing boys and girls.
"The idea of dedicating this one day
in the year to the health needs of the
children of this country, originated
with the American Child Health AS
ISOLATION. Official sanction was Civ
en- to the plan through an Act of
Congress, passed in 1928, which add
ed Child Health Day to the other ma
tional days in the calendar. The Act
decreed that the observance shall take
place the first day of May and that
the purpose of the day shall be duly
proclaimed annually by the President
OF the United States.
Responsibility for the furtherance
Of health promotion activities for chill
dren and young people, in connection
with Child Health Day, is entrusted
to the official health agencies in each
State. Special interest this year, at
taches to the provisions concerning
mothers and children under the Fed

BUFFALO, N. Y, Dec. With four students as guinea pigs" two scientists of the University of Buffalo Medical School are trying to determine whether person ex- pends less energy in warm weather than in cold.
 The students eat and sleep at the medical school. Their rooms are air conditioned and their diet is so arranged that they eat the same number of calories every day of the year. Every morning samples of their expired air are tested for oxygen and carbon dioxide content. The amount of oxygen used, which is the amount of energy expended, is found.
 As the seasons change, the en- ergy expenditure will tell, it is ex- pected, whether cold weather causes human beings to use more or less effort.
 ! The experiment, under way since last July, is being conducted by Dr. Fred R. Griffith, Jr., head of the Department of Physiology, and pr. Julia E. Lockwood, instructor in the department.
