DURING the week preceding Labor Day, the American Legion invaded the City of Brotherly Love for its 31st Annual Convention. During the shouting and tumult, there emerged a highly significant proposal for improved child health. The Legion's Committee on Child Welfare presented the following resolution which was approved by the Convention: "The children of America are its greatest asset and the Legion is interested in those children. Not only the children of veterans, but all children. We must make certain that every child has sufficient food to be nourished properly daily and a suitable environment in which to grow into healthy and useful manhood or womanhood. We will not be discouraged by any temporary obstacle that may be cast in the way. The command is forward and our efforts in conserving our country's greatest asset will be the insurement of peace and prosperity for the future citizens of America. "Wheras, The National Child Welfare Program of the American Legion has always been a `whole child' program and has always been interested in child health, and "Whereas, There is abundant evidence that all children are not receiving the health and medical services which they need, and "Whereas, We believe the proper emphasis for improving medical care for children should come from the local community, now, "Therefore Be It Resolved, That The American Legion cooperate with the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics and other reputable health and medical organizations and agencies in the development of a program for improved child health based on community action under community leadership."
