GREENVILLE TO
STUDY BABIES
M*jor Dub u Imam ProcUmaUorf
Ilogajxlln^ the <)hft(>n?ncti of
Iteby Week.
(By Eastern Press)
Ore n\. lie, Jan. 26. ? Mayor Dana
has given out the following announ?
ment regarding the observance at
Daby Week In this cly:
The Federated Clubs, composed or
ladles of our own. have requested
me to call attention to Baby Weefc.
March 4th to lltb. 1916.
The movero- nt Is for more babtik
and better bablos, and 1916 is to faft,,
known as Baby Year. Daring
week the study of Infant mortality
will be taken up all over the coun
try, with a view to decreasing tfce
death rate by learning and creating?
bette rllving conditions for bablea. ?
A program of vast interest to Ah
of our people Is being arranged for
that week. and It Is desired that tfre
fathers and mothers, and tutor*
fathers and mothers of our town, .
shall lend their hearty cooperation
to a movement which means so
mach for future generations.
It Is stated that one baby out %t
. ery five. North Carolina babies die
-.'ore It In on. year old. It Is nod
;g less than crlmioa? for our peo
ple to remain Idle under such cJr
umstancfR. when conditions can b?
r> Improved as to reduce this m4r
allty to a minimum.
I am sure, that without asklAf,
our people. who compose the llvsat
town In thft State, will lea** nothlti*
undone to make Baby Week a rast
success.
