the quaintness that is Barrie lies on

Window in Thrums," the object of
many tourist eyes, never was Wis
tied on the inside by Barrie. From

NEED FOR BETTER

births (19S7D is more than double

women between the ages of ID and "A
years than any single disease, with the
exception Of tuberculosis According TO
the children's bureau Of the L. s. de-
partment Of labor, one mother dies for
every 14J babies born There are about
100000 pregnant mothers at any giy-
en- time, Of whom many are in inacees-
sible communities. We in urban areas
forget that many IF these pregnalT
mothers must depend upon untrainel
midwiveS neiglfbOrS. or just their hui.
bands for care when their babies are
born. In many of these isolated rural
areas, there are no available doctors
within a range of many miles. There
are still 1900 counties without a pub
Lie health nurse, and 10 without ply
sScian. In 1896, nearly a quarter Of a
million women did not have the adj
vantage OF physicians care Of their
time Of delivery.
The conditions, fortunately, are nt
quite so black in the urban areas Ia
Detroit, for example, maternal mortal
fly has shown a steady decline. In the
past 10 years it has propped from 6.6

for VIVA patients was I3. The rate
for the state of Michigan reached an

The lack of availability OF medical
and nursing care. or the patients fail

GOr material deaths, Of course. There
are many other contributing causes, as
the social and economic position of the
patient, which, in the lower income
group, results in poor food, poor hOussS
ing, and fatigue from heavy household
responsibilities or industrial employs
ment far into the antepartum period
The question OF whether or not the
pregnant woman will seek good pre-
natal and delivery care is influenced
by her race, nationality, interest and
intelligence-FrOm the Visiting Nurse.
