Four Directors | Named by Health League

State sponsored birth control clinics should be a part of this nation’s “second line of defense” against the inroads of the dictatorships, Dr. William Earl Cole, head of the sociology department at the University of Tennessee, told members of the Maternal Health League vesterday at its anual luncheon in the Claypool Hotel. He spoke on “Humanics in National Defense.”

He pointed out that social legislation and social thinking may be neglected when a nation is plunging into a national defense program but that such legislation was more than ever necessary to care properly for the families of drafted men and prevent more indigence. “Humanics,” he said, “should be applied in the home. When the smallest democracy, the family, is well planned then we will not need toe fear for the larger democracy, the nation.” ’ The draft, he explained, has placed greater emphasis on health. Institution of health clinics to provide birth control information would help to 'stop the infant and maternal carnage and build a healthier population, he said and added that such clinics would allow “better spacing of children,” better liv ing conditions for those already born and “allow people to get proper information instead of quackery.” “The number of men in a country no longer indicate its military strength,” Dr. Cole said. “It is the equipment, health and morale at home that are the deciding fact ors.” The experiences of the dictators, he added, show that they can’t go against certain ideologies of the people in building great armies. If the income is limited, then sen sible limits should be placed tpon the size of the family and living conditions improved, he said. Poor living conditions, he pointed out, contribute to the breaking up of the home, lead to class hatred and break down {the second line of defense.” New directors elected by the association are Mesdames Ray Adams, Evans Woollen Jr.,, E. Burdette Backus and Rabbi Maurice Goldblatt. Dr. D. E. Talbott, reported on the work of the League's five branches. Evansville has cared for 1498 patients during the year; Terre Haute, 22; South Bend, 153; Ft. Wayne, 489, and Indianapolis 4339. Five hun dred and fourteen of the Indianapolis cases were new ones, he said.
