BABY SHOW AT RHYMNEY. I SUCCESSFUL EFFORT. That the inhabitants of Rhymney are determined to do their part in promoting the children's welfare cam- paign was manifest on Thursday last, when a Baby Show, the first in the valley, was held at St. David's Parish Hall. When the movement was inaugurated a few weeks ago, there was as is usually the case with a new feature, some speculation as to its success, but thanks to the effective organisation of the Ladies' Committee, with Mrs R. Rutherford, (The Lawn) as president, and Mrs W. T. Hopkin, (Church Street) proved an admirable secretary, these doubts were dispelled on Thursday by the exceptionally numerous competitors in the various classes. The judges were Dr. E. L. Phillips, Bargoed, and Mrs Dr Ward, Merthyr, who discharged their duties in a most satisfactory manner. The awards were made at the open-air concert in the Lawn in. the evening. In connection with the show, Dr. Mary Howie, director of the Infant! Welfare Clinics for the Monmouth- shire County Council, delivered a very helpful address to the raothers in the bringing up of healthy children. Dr. Phillips, in the course of a brief adjudication, said that the com- mittee had reason b congratulate there selves upon their first show. His colleague and himself had had some difficulty in arriving at their decisions by reason of the many excel- lent babies which had been exhibited. Proceeding, the Doctor dealt with the various classes, and said it was a noteworthy fact that some of the winners were from houses which did not poases8 the best sanitary arrange- ments, but it was an indication that even in those surroundings, which in nermal times might be subjected to some censure, it was possible to pro- duce healthy children, and in that direction the educational campaign could accomplish great things (hear hear). He referred to the efficient work which was being performed at the school clinics in Monmouth- shire, and urged upon all mothers to take advantage of the facilities which the clinics afforded. He awarded the prizes as follows:- NATURALLY FED BABIES. Boys under 3 months—1, Edwin Mutton, 7 Lower Cross Row; 2, Evan Albert Baker, 1 Susannah Houses.
