GARDENS AND CHILD
HEALTH SYNONYMOUS
May Day, Thursday, May i. will
be made a special occasion this von.
lo direct the attention of the public
to the importance of the health and
welfare of the children.
It is a startling fact, but neverthe
ess true, that 190,000 American chil
dren die during their first year.
The Women's Club of Seward, thru
•ultivating an interest in gardening,
is unquestionably doing a world of
good in beautifying the cit> and a
continuation of this work would pro
vide recreation and interest on th'
part of the children. If the city would
provide a play ground for the chil
dren, plots couhl be allotted sur
rounding the play grounds and ihe
children induced to compete for
prizes for either vegetable or flower
gardens.
In this vicinity swings, sand piles
and other forms of entertainment and
exercise could be provided and the
children kept off the streets with its
constant danger from cars and trucks
la writing of the problem of chil
! dren’s health and welfare President
! Coolidge replying to a letter of See
j rotary Hoover’s on March S, 1024
j said in part: “The growth of popu
j lation constantly presents new prob
! lems of child life and health. These
problems should be met within each
community itself.”
