More Important Than
Reaching The Moon
CHILD HEALTH

The Maternal and Child Welfare Act, in
troduced in the closing days of the Senate
session by Senator Pepper with sponsorship
by nearly dozen colleagues Of both parties,
seeks solution for one of the most profound
of our national problems. Nothing more in
timately concerns our future as a nation than
the health of our children. The Pepper bill
would make Federal financial aid to the ex-
tent of 100 million dollars available to the
States for the purpose of providing medical
care and health services for mothers and
children and child-welfare service for emo
tionally sick and insecure children and for
children without parental care or supervi-
sion. This program would be administered
through State health departments and would
assure patients free choice among voluntarily
participating doctors, hospitals and clinics.
Americas Most Precious Asset
The program follows the carefully
thought-out recommendations OF the Ma
tional Commission on Children in Wartime.
''The health of children, no less than their
education" says the report of this commits
sion, sis public responsibility. If during
the coming decades children are to grow to
maturity physically and mentally fit, if they
are to be able to take advantage Of the edu-
cational opportunities offered to them, and if
they are to assume their position as respon-
sible members of society when they are ma
ture, they must be assured of healthy bodies
and healthy minds when they are young"
We have not done very much for child
health in the past. The Children's Bureau,
which would administer the ALLEGATION of
funds under the proposed law, has been re-
ceiving mere l Y million dollars to assist all
48 States in developing child-welfare serv-
ices. On this budget, only 400 of our 5000

NufionoI Health Begins with Child Health
And infants in this country, with its
vaunted standard of living, have to take their
chances-which differ very widely from State
to State. In the country as whole, 40 out
of every 1000 babies born alive die before
their first birthday. The infant mortality rate
per thousand varies from 80 in Connecticut
to as high as 91.6 in New Mexico. Ii the
record in every State were as good as in
Connecticut-certainly not an unattainable
goal we could save $1,000 babies every
year. even in the relative good year Of
194O," Senator Pepper points out, "about
half our children were living in families with
incomes of less than $40 week. Good ma
ternity care cannot be purchased with left
over from $40 week after food, clothing
and shelter for a family are paid for
There has been an admirable test for the
national program proposed by Senator Pep
per in the wartime emergency maternity and
infant care program for servicemen's wives
and babies. 1t has been boon to young
mothers and to infants. And it has strength
ened, without in any way impinging upon,
the system Of private medicine. Its values
have been far too great to be abandoned with
the end of the emergency. 1t should be ex-
tended SO that good medical care can be made
available to mothers and children wherever
they live and whatever their economic cir
cumstances. As Nation, we could make no
wiser investment. From The Washington POST

The Major Leagues

Jake Wise, floor man at the Mid
dletown printing plant, who really
knows his baseball, has sent me his
selections for the American League
and here they are:
Boston Red Socks
Detroit Tigers
New York Yankees
Washington Senators
Cleveland Indians
Philadelphia Athletics
Chicago White Socks
St. Louis Browns
And Jake backs up his selections
with the following argument:
The experts, with few exceptions,
name the YankS to win in a hot
scramble, but can't see it that way.
True enough, they have great power
at the plate and one 20-game hurler,
but they need three of them. If they
had either the Tigers or Red Sox
pitching staff, they'd be a breeze,
like the ST. Louis Cards in the older
circuit, but they haven't, and that's
why I'm going out on a limb and
taking Boston to finish on top. The
Red Sox not only have the pitch
ing, but they have power with the
stick too, and are extra good in the
field, being particularly strong
through the middle, where strength
IS absolutely necessary if you want
to have pennant-winning team.
P. S. l also predict that no
pitcher will win 25 games this year
and that no team will win 100 games.

HOME PLATE
BY DOUG STEWART

When 1109 baseball fans paid their
way into the Municipal Stadium on
Sunday afternoon to see an exhibit
ton game between the Hagerstown
Owls and the Sunbury Yankees Zone
of the two new clubs in the Inter
state League), it proved beyond
doubt that Hagerstown is a
baseball town, and there is no
doubt in my mind that, if Owner
Sterling and Manager Griffith put
a hustling, fighting ball club in the
field, the turnstiles will click merrily
all season.
When the Owls (who looked eX-
tremely good after just one weeks
practice) came from behind in the
eight inning, to score four runs
after two men were out - helped
out considerably by Drugstore"
Dispenziere's well-tagged homer
over the centerfeld wall 49, to go
one run ahead, you would have
thought from the frenzied yells of
the big crowd, that the boys had
just cinched the pennant. And it
was a happy, talking crowd that
filed out of the park, after Lefty"
Mcmahon, taking over in the ninth,
protected that one run lead, by
striking out two and forcing the
third batter to ground to short, af-
ter he had filled the bases with none
out, by walking the first man up,
giving up a single to the second man
to face him and hitting the third
man with a pitched ball!
While Bunny Griffith is still, of
necessity, doing lot of experiment.
ing, he has plenty of good material
to work on and l see no reason why
the 1916 edition of the Owls should
take a back seat to any team in
the league.
Newest arrivals in camp are: Ed
Curtis, righthanded pitcher, who
set the New York Yankees down
with hits in an exhibition game
in the Canal Zone; Paul Rankin,
another highlander, who pitched
for the Owls in 1943, and jim Ruark,
a catcher sent by the Chicago Cubs.
Marty Minogue is also back from
the Canal Zone and will join the
club after spending a few days with
his family in Louisville
