Healthy Children Important
In National Defense Program
Mothers Urged to Take Ad'
vantage of Health Dept. =.
Service.
By DR.. Robert King
Dist. Health Officer

National defense is foremost in
the minds of the citizens of the
United States during these days
of turmoil and strife in the coun-
tries across the seas, and while
it may seem rather far-off and
unconnected with us as individ-
uals away up here in the noun
tains, still there are certain ele-
ments where we should be vitality
concerned at all times.
We know that the United States
Department of Labor has as one
of it's divisions, the Children's
Bureau. This bureau is concerned
with the welfare of the infants
and children of the nation as they
are considered one of the most
valuable assets we possess. Laws
are made for the protection of the
children in the field of labor, and
investigations are carried on for
the purpose of making them bet
ter and healthier citizens.
The best time to think of these
children is before they are born,
for if we care for them properly
during the period Of their unborn
life we have made real progress
in national defense by assuring as
far as have made real progress
in national defense by assuring as
far as possible crop of healthy
boys and girls.
Ashe County has a Health De-
partment which is supported IN
part by funds from the Child
ren's Bureau and part of its du-
ties are to examine mothers who
are expecting the arrival of ba-
bies. Each Wednesday in the Of
flee in Jefferson examinations
are made. These consist of tests
of the blood and urine, record
ings of the blood pressure and
examination of the heart and
lungs and such other proceed
ures as may be necessary. These
examinations are free and are
carried on simply for the well
fare of the mothers and babies.
While many visits are made to
the Health Department for this
purpose, we know that many,
many more should be made. The
slight trouble of making a few
trips to town is as nothing COM
pared to the privilege of having
a healthy baby where otherwise
it might come to birth the vic
tim of some terrible disease, or
the mother might die and leave
the little one an orphan, or she
might be left an invalid, where
with the proper care during her
period of pregnancy she would
probably have given birth to a
healthy child and have been in
condition to care for it and her
family.
Let us all awake to the fact
that national defense starts at
home, and the best way to protect
the home is to educate ourselves
to use the available resources and
to protect our children by every
means possible The Health De-
partment is here for the purpose
of helping you. Use it.
