SET NATIONAL
CHILD HEALTH
DAY AS MAY 1
After the issuance of a Presiden
tial proclamation designating May
1. 1945, as Child Health Day. Ne
gro parents throughout the coun
try were urged this week to join
all other parents in cooperating
with state health departments and
bureaus of vital statistics in in
tensive birth-registration ca m
paigns.
Cooperation of all groups of
the population in the birth-regt—
tration campaign waa asked by
Katharine F. Lenroot, chief of
the Children’s Bureau, Depart
ment of Labor; and J. C. Capt,
director of the Bureau of Cenais,
0 Department of Commerce. These
two agencies are Joint sponsors
of this year’s observance of
Child Health Day.
• • •
“One out of every 13 babies bom
each year is not registered,’’ Mr.
Capt said. “A birth certificate is
the best evidence of citizenship,
age. and place of birth it is possible
to have in claiming many of the
privileges and protections of citiz
enship."
• • •
Miss Lenroot said:
“COMPLETE birth registration
Is of enormous assistance to state
and local health departments in
planning adequate health programs
for children. Under the Social
Security Act, Federal funds have
been made available to state health
departments to promote programs
of maternal and child health and
welfare. Unless all births are reg
istered in a state the amount of
money received by that state is less
than the proportion to which it is
entitled, and so fewer children get
the care they might have.

ASK POLICY ON
COLONIALS AT
PEACE PARLEY
NEW YORK —ln both a wire to
President Roosevelt and a reso
lution adopted by the National
Board of Directors at its recent
meeting the NAAC P expressed
concern over the emission of the
question of colonial trusteeship
and the status of dependent peo
ples from the agenda of the forth
coming San Francisco conference
to be held April 25
• • •
In his wire to the President,
VA.A.C.P. Secretary Walter
White said. "Indications that
Army, Navy, the Hearst Press
and certain other influential
groups are insisting that govern
ment maintain exclusive sov
ereignty over territories captured
in the Pacific causes concern as
to our good faith and moral
view on whole lasue of trustee
ship and dependent areas.

•THE ATLANTIC CHARTER
signed by yourself and Mr.
Churchill in 1941, declared The
right of all peoples to chose the
form of government under which
they will live’ and pledged that
the allied nations 'will afford as
surance that all the rr.en in all the
lands may live out their lives in
freedom from fear and want.’ It is
eur measured contention that prior
to the opening cf the United Na
tions Conference, the United
States government must insist that
the topic of trusteeship and de
pendent peoples shall be placed on
the agenda of the conference and
insist upon an international trus
teeship coupled with an inerna
tional Bill of Rights for dependent
peoples, which will as speedily as
possible improve the conditions of
native peoples and particularly
provide means of self-government
and development of natural re
sources for the benefit of natives
instead of absentee governments
and landholders in Europe and
elsewhere. Failure to take such a
stand would ignore a basic factor
in international security "

Walter White, will serve as con
sultants. designated by the State

Lowell. Mich, was doing routine
construction work on Iwo Jims
in front of a Marine battery which
was lobbing 105 mm howitzer shells

I "So you manta win the war.**
the sergeant grunted. "Okay,
here'a your chance."

THE MICHIGANDER leaned
over the gun. adjusted its sights,
pulled the firing mechanism, and
W H A M! The shell crashed into
a Jap pillbox, leaving its occu
