Men are here to take care of facts,
things and principles which concern
the country in general. Women are
for the higher and more delicate
tasks which concern the care of in
fants and children. Child life, until
very recently, has been held very
cheap. One out of every five babies
died before it had reached its first
birthday. Child care is now a mat
ter of concern in our county, state
and nation.
Information about proper care of
children has been made available
to mothers in all walks of life. Miss
Karlson, our public health nurse, will
supply you with this literature if you
request it. She has been working
with different auxiliary groups so
far this month. The first group met
at Beroun Friday, Oct. 6, only three
members were present, but it is a
start to create interest in public
health work in that community.
Every child has right to health and
happiness and can be helped through
this service.
