Children’s Year drives weigh and measure test for healthy babies
The Children’s Bureau and related groups urge a second World War year focused on preventing infant deaths. A countywide program conducts weight and height checks for under five children to map health, disease patterns, and milk and water needs, with careful safety to prevent infectious spread. Local volunteers in Jefferson County organize stations, supplies, and reporting to the National Children’s Bureau, aiming to crown counties with the healthiest babies.
