Care Urged For
Maternity Cases

National attention, according to
reports from medical records, has
been sharply focused in recent
years on the great number of deaths
resulting directly from childbirth
as well as upon the suffering Of
women in later life because of fail
ure to receive proper care during
earlier pregnancy and delivery.
Statistics indicate that $4,000
mothers die annually in the United
States with childbirth as the direct
cause Of death A like number of
deaths among women are trsceable
TO childbirth's remote conse-
quences
In 25 years $4,000 women have
died in childbirth, more than the
number Of men lost in our wars
SINCE the Declaration OF lndepen-
cence.
Health authorities have charac-
terized these deaths as needless,
Placing the emphasis on proper
care physicians and other health
agencies are attempting 10 make
more available TO all persons the
best care, particularly during this
important period.
Included in the recently govern
nent- proposed Health Bill is a
section devoted entirely to prob
lens OF maternal care.

SUMMER CONCERT
 COURSE UNDERWAY
Children Given Instruc. tiOns at Bronson
 Library Today

The first meeting of the summer concert course for children, being given under the auspices of the Silas Branson library, was held this morning at 10 o'clock on the third floor of the library. The course is being given by Miss Paulette Wolo- zin and Walden Trimble.
 This morning the children learned something about the various Wood- wind instruments-the flute, the piccolo, the oboe and the clarinet. They had some practice in learning to identify each when 1t played alone, and then listened to the mu- sic of Tchaikowsky's "Nutcracker Suite," picking out each of the four instruments when they were dis- tinguishable.
 MT. Trimble is also giving some evening programs for children, in which they listen in a dark room, with lights of different colors play ing on the ceiling. MT. Trimble finds that this helps the children to visu- alize the music, hence to enjoy 1t more.
