Summary	... American childhood has not yet been made wholly safe. The defense emergency naturally heightens dangers that already exist. The distribution of existing health services for children is exceedingly spotty, and shifts in population resulting from the defense effort are creating need in new areas. Deferments under the Selective Service Act have brought home to us how far we fall short in our protection of child health. There is real national concern today over lack of health services available to all people, without regard to geographic location or economic status... We are raising health standards for our children by getting clearly in mind what a child requires to be healthy and strong and to live a normal life. He needs to be born of healthy parents under favorable conditions, to have a happy and affectionate family life in a home that provides adequate shelter, and to have the right food for his age and special needs. To grow normally to the fullness of his powers and take his place as a cooperative citizen in our democratic life... he needs proper health supervision and protection against diseases... Are all the children in your community getting these things?-- p. [1]- [2].
