vention but the degree of preven- ton against whooping cough is gradually becoming greater and greater.
 With our better understanding of child training, child psychology and educative measures the mental pro- gram of the childs life is also be- ing taken care Of in 8 steadily in- creasing satisfactory manner. The "Spoilt child" is gradually being recognized as one who has become spoilt due to his environment and his condition is fortunately not al- ways being blamed upon some in- herited characteristic.
 Compulsory Examination
 The law which the state of Con- necticut adopted two years ago calling for the blood examination of all people who seek marriage liz censes will surely bring about decrease in the cases of congenital syphilis in this state. Figures re- gently given out by the State De- partment of Health show that 90 people with communicable syphilis were denied marriage licenses and were made 70 e ny out treatment. This quite naturally will improve the health of future children.
 It is hoped that from this view point alone, that the other states of the Union will adopt a law sim- liar to the one now in force in Con- necticut. It is indeed quite health full that the question of Syphilis has been removed from that field of "undiscussable and unmention- able" subjects. Purely case of false sense of high morals.
 The road to improvement is wide open but we should at least take advantage of what we have avail- able at the present time. We will record great pZogress if we can ac- complish that.
 A. s. BROWN, M. D.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-03-10

In the field of nutrition the inn provements and developments of the recent years have been numerous and almost astounding. The impor- tance of sterilization of articles used to handle baby's food; the pasteurization of milk or if that is not done the boiling of milk to destroy the harmful organisms which may be in the milk have made the health of the baby who is deprived of mothers milk a much better condition than had been the rule.
 VitaminS
 One cannot listen to the radio for any period of time, nor can one read the newspapers nor can one walk along the main streets of our city and not be confronted with the word "Vitamin." Despite the apparent overemphasis due per- haps to too much commercialiSm, the stress on the importance of the various vitamins has not been mis- placed or misdirected. We do and we should continue to have con- siderably less infants and older childre-l misformed. ravaged and made extremely unhappy and un- comfortable due to the lack of those very small products which are becoming less of mystery as time advances.
 Rickets, scurvy, beri-beri and pel- lagra can and should be wiped out completely. That unfortunate child whose body is misshapen has a legitimate complaint to make if his deformities are due to effects of scurvy and rickets. Some one was at fault in his early years of life. The one unfortunate thing about the emphasis on the vitamin is that in this modern life of stress and straining to get along, many people try to buy the cheapest and very often unreliable vitamin prod uctS. They think that they are giv- ing their children the benefits which they are justly entitled to but of which they are being deprived due to unreliability and definite inferiority of certain products which today flood the market.
 Malnutriti0n
 The prevention of diseases of mal- nutrition has also reached quite
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-03-10
Preventive Measures of Baby Welfare Work
 Highlight Activities of the Past Year

I high level of efficiency. Today there are nowhere near as many cases of malnutrition brought about through poor feeding as there had been. The effort must be expended to- wards reducing the degree of mal- nutrition in those unfortunate chil- dren who are victims and suffering from other diseases.
 While charts of height and weight and development of children are being made capital of, yet one should realize that these are com- posed of figures made from all types of children and from a. gradations of slightly super-average" to slightly below average" Therefore one may unjustly think that ones child may be malnourished if his child's weight and height vary slightly from those quoted on the charts. We are not attempting to develop a nation of identically built and developed adults nor should we be considered as trying to develop a one-type of child. There are differ ent inherent characteristics which we can affect but in perhaps only minor degree.
 It is quite interesting in noting the physical characteristics of the second and third generations of American-born children whose an- tecedents came from various parts of the world. Where previously there was quite difference in the physi- cal characteristics of the children of different countries yet when the succeeding generations born in this country and subjected to the dietary and other general conditions here the physical characteristics = height especially-are not as differ ent as previously observed.
 Diseases
 With reference to the large group of infectious and contagious di- SeaSeS which in some degree or other are preventablc the progress made has been quite encouraging but there is still room for improve ment. When we consider diphthe- ria which can be prevented in practically 1008o of cases our feel ings of pride are occasionally sadly let down when we realize that for years in Waterbury the annual number of cases had been steadily decreasing so that in 1886 there were only 10 cases-we must look for the explanation of the occur

(By A. s. BROWN, RI D.

This year as in previous years the chief efforts of those who are devoted to the care and welfare Of childhood are directed to measures of a preventative nature. Prevention of disease of a contagious or 1n- fectious nature fortunately makes up only a part of the program. Ef- fects of malnutrition brought about through 8 defective dietary regime and through the lack of absolutely essential vitaminS also do not com- plete the picture of the activities carried out with the purpose of as- suring 8 healthier and happier fu- ture childhood. We must also stress the importance of the prevention of problems of mental hygiene, psychological maladjustments and ordinary behavioi problems.
 Premature Babies
 The premature baby of the past few decades has had the benefits of a steadily increasing successful plan of taking care of him and of giving him a better chance of sur viving. The statistics concerning the death rates of prematures over the past twenty years are much more favorable to the prematures born in the latter half of that period of time. Proper handling of the regulation of feeding of the premature. better control of infec- tions, better understanding of the differences in the requirements of the premature from those of his full term brother all have helped the premature baby. Mothers milk still remains the best food for the pre- mature but today when mothers milk may not be readily obtainable from the prematures own mother we can in many cases obtain ster- ilized human milk from various Mothers Milk Depots." If that possible source of food for the premature is unavailable we have at our disposal better means Of ar- officially feeding the baby than for merly.
 Control of skin infections and of what may apparently be only very trivial colds in the case of larger babies have both added considera- ply to the welfare of the premature. The crucial period for the prema- ture, that is, perhaps the first few weeks of life has if anything been made much safer and less "cruciap by the proper handling of the baby. Better hospital equipment, better nursing and more intelligent medical care all share in the im- provement of the lot of the prema- ture baby of 1938
 Better Development
 The normal full term infant has also had the advantages of the plan for better development and bringing up of the future citizens of this country. All this is done with the hope that the health of the country at large will be definitely and mo- ticeably improved as time goes on and that further effectual efforts will be directed to those misfor- tunes of life which at the present time cannot be counted amongst that large group of preventable di- seases. The one bright spot in the statistics concerning the mortality of mothers and neWborns has been the quite steady decrease in the fatalities amongst the new borns. It is hoped that this decrease will continue indefinitely.

renee of almost 50 cases during the year 1887. This is rather sad state of affairs especially when pre- ventable disease can cause the death of 5 of those fifty cases all babies years of age and under.
 Despite the availability of inn munization against diphtheria for all children regardless of economic condition, we still have to break down the resistance to this life-sav- ing and life prolonging measure. The immunization against diphthe- ria is so simple and so positive and accompanied by s. little, if any, re- action that all babies 6 months or slightly over 6 months of age should have it done. One must al- ways keep in mind that the Shick test, also a very simple and harm less test, which proves the presence Or absence of immunity should be done about 4 months or later fol- lowing the inoculations. We are becoming to realize that it is advisa- ble to repeat the Shick test every 3 to years to make sure that inn munity still persists.
 I feel sure that if we were to in- quire into the question of immuni- zation in all of the 50 odd cases which occurred locally last year that we would find these conditions ex- isting. 1. No immunization at all. 2. No Shick test performed to check up on the immunity. 3. Inadequate innoculation carried out quite some years ago.
 The frequency of the status would be in accordance with their being listed. Too many parents think that a baby of 6 months is altogether too young to have any inoculations done-yet the majority of the cases of diphtheria occurred in babies under 3 years of age and that of the 5 deaths two occurred in in fants under one year of age. It is known that it takes about 3 to 5 months for the body to build up an immunity against diphtheria fol- lowing inoculation so the impor- tance of immunization at the age of months or soon after is very obvi- ous. Our local health department has been untiring in its efforts to have the entire child population of Waterbury immunized but resis- tance on the part of the public still is but in 8 steadily deceasing de- gree.
 Vaccination
 Smallpox vaccination has been made compulsory by law. Immuni- zation against typhoid fever is also available as are some measures of prevention against scarlet fever, measles and whooping cough. The first of these two last mentioned disease are not characterized by cer- tain and definite degrees of pre-
