Show To Wiegh and Measure Every Child in the Nation Utah has another opportunity to gn "over the top" with colors living The opening drive of the "children's year is the Weighing and Measuring test. It is proposed to weigh and measure meas-ure every child in the United States under five years of age. In Utah alone there are probably G-5,000 children chil-dren of this age. This is a tremendous tremen-dous task, one which will require the cooperation of every influential person per-son and every parent in the state. Nothing of this sort has ever been undertaken before in this country. Moreover, the task must be completed before June 6th. The purpose of the "children's year" is to conserve the child life of the nation for the sake of the national nation-al welfare. The saving of the young children from unnecessary death and sickness and moral injury is just as essential to victory and the future of our country as in the conservation of food. |
