CHILD HEALTH
The deaths of infants under one
year constitute a sensitive index of
health conditions in a community,.
Life is most precarious in its earliest
hours and days. The most hazard
ous days in the life of the human
being are those immediately follow
ing birth. In the first thirty days
occur approximately one half of all
deaths before the end of the first
year of life. The causes of these in
fant deaths are principally prema
ture birth, malformations of devel
opment, contagious diseases includ
ing pneumonia; and to a much les
ser extent than formerly, digestive
upsets. There were 972 live births in
Surry County in 1935 with 48 deaths
of babies under one month and 31
deaths under one year.
Scientific care of the expectant
mother and of the infant, safe wa
ter and milk, and protection against
contagious diseases and accidents
constitute ttye most important fac
tors which contribute to safe birth
and low infant mortality.
Twenty years ago the most dan
gerous period of the year for in
fants was summer. Many parents
still dread the child's second sum
mer because of the great danger of
digestive upsets, often with fatal re
sults, which they expect at that
time. Today we need not fear the
second summer. In fact, we may
look forward to summer. We now
know that the infant will thrive in
fresh air and sunlight much better
than indoors. The fear of the sec
ond summer has been dissipated by
a knowledge of the causes which
brought about disease. it was not
summer itself which was bad for ba
bies, though it is true that mothers
often overdressed babies, and they
did suffer from the heat. What
really killed babies was dirty milk,
impure water and lack of steriliza
tion of infant's foods. Now that mo
thers have learned aboiit clean
hands, sterile bottles, sterile nipples,
boiled water and pasteurization of
milk reboiled before feeding, babies
frolic through their second summer,

stronger and healthier because of it.
We still fear winter, however. Win
ter is the season for colds, measles,
diphtheria, scarlet fever and pneu
monia. These diseases'are now tak
ing the heaviest toll of babies, sec
ond only to premature birth. In
winter it is difficult to give the baby
fresh air without two much expos
ure. Houses are often overheated
and almost always too dry. Well
meaning people with colds kiss ba
bies and perhaps kill them, all un
wittingly. Children come in to play,
suffering with early , symptoms of
contagious diseases to which the ba
by is exposed. Something can now
be done about the danger of at least
two contagions: namely, smallpox
and diphtheria. Both are positively
preventable and should be a thing
of the past.
The necessity for early care of ev
ery pregnant woman cannot be
overemphasized. Many of the com
plications of pregnancy can be pre
vented or minimized through scien
tific care of the expectant mother.
The lives of many mothers and in
fants can be saved only by this
method.
When the child gets into school
the results of disease and of physical
defects which have developed in the
course of the runabout or preschool
age usually appear, if these condi
tions can be corrected before the
child enters school, much loss of
school time will be prevented and
much inefficiency in the schools eli
minated. and the children will be
healthier, happier students.
Correction
Due io misinformation given The
Tribune it was stated in these news
columns last week that the dance
held Friday night was sponsored by
the Elkin Kiwanis club. The club
did not sponsor the event.
