and community services of this type
In l945 and previously, it was
pointed out, the Army and Navy
helped mothers. and the crippled
children of servicemen. Now with
the war over, according to officials,
Army and Navy aid iss heavily cur
tailed and the city's clinical serv-
ices must be extended. In addition.
other aspects of the maternal and
child welfare programs which have
been restricted or actually elimi-
mated during the war years must
be revived and additional aspects
added.
Ask Program Extension.
An official recommendation states
that the immediate extension of the
program for crippled children is
clearly indicated through new and
additional facilities at Gallinger
Municipal Hospital and through
provision for regional diagnostic and
treatment clinics in other locations
in the city. Officials believe these
should preferably be operated in
cooperation with existing hospital
outpatient departments.
Surveys show that maternal and
child welfare cases constitute a
considerable bulk of cases treated
at municipal clinics but because of
the decrease in selective service
referrals and the transfer of most
infectious cases to other facilities,
the number of admissions and visits
to the clinics decreased last year as
compared to 1914.
With exception of three ma ajor
clinics. which include the South
west Center, most of the other
clinics are specialized units. At the
three major clinics there were 8,187
admissions for routine examinations
or venereal disease treatments and
99,040 patient-visits in 1945.
The Health Department states
that an increase in admissions and
visits may be expected from now
on by projecting the experiences of
increased incidence after the last
war, and points out that many of
the existing facilities are sufficiently
Substandard as to make them un-
able to handle the expected post
war case-load.
Tomorrow: The Southwest Health
Center.

less he was citizen first he would
find similar treatment in the service.

Moreover, he added that the estab-
lishment of additional preventive
medicine centers, like the Southwest
Center, would permit intensiflcation
of courses of treatment for syphilis
and other veneral disease, which are
now being employed in several of
the city's clinics with encouraging
results.
Although the actual number of
syphilis deaths rose from 149 in 1910,

159 In 1914, when the population was

pointed out.
AS to infant mortality and mater
nal care, the health protection given
mothers and infants through the
Emergency Maternity and Infant
Care program, operating mainly
through clinics and at hospitals, is
an important factor in local prog

The effects of the war continue to
be reflected in the Health Depart

in services to crippled children. Off,
