VanDerxvex'konerwex'kon of Otego attorney for the executor the settlerhent of the State Maternity and Infancy Bills Considerable attention is being call- id all over the state, to the txvo Ma ternity bills before the state legis- latux’e. Congress has passed the Sheppard Towner Act which provides for federal aid to the states for the protection of maternity and infancy. This bill gives each state $10,000 plus the same amount appropx'iated by the state, up to a maximum amount. Thus, New \i'erk State, outside of New York City, would receive $85,000 fed eral aid by giving $75,000, thereby having $160,000 to save babies and mothers lost every year. Thiity three state? have already passed such en abling legislation. This bill was introduced by Senator Duell and is known as the Duell bill, has been promoted by the united sup port of twenty-two state womens’ ox'- ganizations headed by Mrs. Frank Vanderlip. These women number about one-half million. Another ma ternity bill was introduced by Senator Davenport x-efusing Federal aid but appropriating $100,000 for this work in New Yoi’k State. The objects of the two bills are practically the same: to establish clinics and nursing ser vice in all parts of the state under the direction of the State Health Depart ment. The mothers in rural commun ities Know the value of the Healthmo- in Otsego Coxmty last summei ■ ese billss afife bile „ _ If either of these lervice will bi a p.aS£ ;ular and s: such service will be regular and sys tematic follow up work carried on. If New York does hot pass the Duell bill it will pay its part of the Federal tax without receiving Federal aid. If it does pass it, there will be $160,000 for maternity work instead of $100,000, all of which will be paid ly the state. During the hearing of the two bills n Albany one dOqtsr said to accept i’ederaraid Was promoting paternal- am. One woman arose and said that ve didn't cry paternalism when we received Federal aid for promoting for fighting bovine, farm and* home bu reau’s, tuberculosis, etc., then why, \ ■ aalism when we are offered fed- •id to prevent cholera infantum.
