V-DAY OBSERVANCE TO BE
SPONSORED BY ROTARY CLUB

The Smyrna Rotary Club is
making plans to sponsor a COM

ever that day arrives, it was de-
cided at the last meeting of the
club. When the time comes, a
committee will be formed and more
definite plans made, although it
was learned from reliable sources
that the observance would prob
ably consist of community prayers
of thanksgiving and songs, rather
than a parade or other form of
celebration. The spokesman said
that the club members were of the
opinion that ceremony of prayer
and meditation would be more in
accord with the wishes of Smyrna
families and friends of men in the
services.

MANY PROJECTS THERE

American Red Cross Camp and
Hospital Council Service has con-
tributed more than $4,000 for the

four day rooms in the various Sec
tions about the field, complete with
comfortable chairs and settees,
writing tables, lamps, radios and
drapes. Thus will be provided COM
Portable, honey spots where en-
listed men may spend off-duty

CTS BABIES TO
GET YEAR CARE
Babies and Wives of Service
Men in Lowest Pay
Grades Get Aid
REVIEW APPLICATIONS

Babies born to service men and
their wives are now eligible, under
the emergency maternity program
of the Department of Labor Chill
dren's Bureau, for one years
health supervision. State health
departments now may use federal
aid funds to provide such free-of-
cost supervision which may be
given either in the doctors Office
or in child health conferences, in
accordance with the operation of
the state plan. In Delaware, the
supervision of the children in the
health clinics will be adopted.
Lowest Pay Grades
Under the plan, wives and babies
of service men in the four lowest
pay grades of the Army, Navy,
Marine Corps and Coast Guard and
Army and Navy aviation cadets
are eligible for state federal aid for
medical, nursing and hospital care
for the wife throughout pregnancy,
childbirth, and for six weeks after
delivery, and care for the baby at
any time in its first year of life.
Home delivery nursing service and
nursing service following delivery
and return from the hospital is
provided through the Visiting
Nurses Association in areas where
they operate, and in other places
by community nurses who are on
a state roster maintained by the
State Board of Health for this pur-
pose.
Care For Infants
For infants who might be taken
sick from birth up to one year of
age, physicians services at home
or office or in attendance at hos
pital, and disqualification can be
for a period of three
weeks, or longer if the condition
of the infant justifies it. Infants
i'll at home may have the services
of a graduate nurse. Delaware, DR..
knight says, is making every eff
fort possible to give aid to the
wives of all men in the lower pay
grades who are living, or have been
living in the state. A committee
has just been appointed to review
which have formerly
been rejected for one cause or an
other.
