Baroody Files at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library OF THE UNITED THE OF Child Health Day, 1974 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation For more than four decades, America has set aside a special day each year to emphasize the importance of child health. In these decades, we have written a story of significant progress in child health, as the national infant mortality rate has been sharply cut and many childhood diseases have been conquered or diminished in their severity. For many handicapped children, in particular, advances in surgical techniques and treatment have created new hope for happy, productive lives. We can be proud of this progress. Yet, as every parent knows, the threat of serious disease still hangs over the lives of our children, striking fear in the hearts of those who love and cherish them. Our challenge- and the one to which this Administration will be committed-is to con- tinue steadfastly in reducing the health hazards to children through adequate programs which will assure their continued good health throughout childhood. The Congress has, by the Joint Resolution of May 18, 1928 (36 U.S.C. 143), requested that the President of the United States annually issue a proclamation declaring the first Monday in October as Child Health Day. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Monday, October 7, 1974, as Child Health Day. I invite all agencies and organizations concerned with child health to unite upon that day in the observance of such activities as will accelerate our progress towards the promotion and protection of child health. In addition, Child Health Day is an appropriate time to salute the work which the United Nations, through its specialized agencies and the United Nations Children's Fund, is doing to improve the health of the children around the world. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-ninth. Gerall R. Ford OF THE UNITED THE OF Child Health Day, 1975 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation In the years since 1928, when Child Health Day was first proclaimed, our concept of health has acquired new dimensions. No longer do we consider health merely the timely treatment and cure of illness. Health now encompasses the prevention of those conditions which can lead to illness. Scientific technology and medical research have given us many new tools to help in the essential tasks of preventing illness or conditions which can cripple. Thanks to vaccines which have been developed in recent decades, poliomyelitis is no longer the widespread crippler it once was. Children can now be protected against measles and the risk of death or brain damage resulting from this disease. Immunization against rubella not only protects young children, but also protects pregnant women from contracting the disease and risking the mental health of their unborn children. Future challenge includes prevention of such divergent problems as birth abnormality, the battered child syndrome and the teen-age alcoholic, drug addict or criminal. In our Bicentennial year as a Nation, we are charting a course for the future that will enable us to complete the American dream. We can be certain that future scientific discoveries will help to control and conquer other conditions which now cripple or otherwise handicap children. For the present, each of us must resolve to apply the knowledge and the means now at hand for the fullest protection of our children's health. As an expression of its concern, the Congress, by joint resolution (36 U.S.C. 143), has asked the President to designate the first Monday in October as Child Health Day. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States of America, do proclaim Monday, October 6, 1975, as Child Health Day. I ask American parents on Child Health Day this year to place special emphasis on ensuring protection for their children against all diseases for which safe and effective vaccines are now available. I call upon all citizens, agencies and organizations interested in child welfare to promote and observe appropriate activities, especially those which emphasize the preventive immunizations so necessary for proper health care. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty- fourth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-five, and of the Independence of the United States of American the two hundredth. Gerall R. Ford OF THE UNITED 3H5 OF Child Health Day, 1976 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation In this year of our Bicentennial we have in many ways expressed our pride in the heritage which our forebears have bequeathed to us. But we are not solely heirs to this great legacy; we are also trustees. Our responsibility is to protect, preserve, and enhance it in anticipation of the day when our children will assume responsibility for the perpetuation of the ideals which have sustained this republic for two centuries. It is our task to insure that they are prepared for that day. To that end, our concern for their health and well-being cannot be overstated. Our concern is reflected in our continuing efforts to reduce infant mortality, eliminate childhood diseases and handicaps, and expand preventive health services. The challenges of poliomyelitis, measles, and rubella led to the development of vaccines. Our resolution has been tested by the challenges of birth abnormality, child abuse, and teenage alcoholism and drug abuse. We have learned of steps prospective mothers can take during the prenatal period to lessen the likelihood their children will suffer from the tragedy of mental retardation, and we must assure that this vital information is available. We must continue to explore those avenues of basic and applied research necessary to assure that every child will be born with the physical and mental capacity to participate fully in our national life. To encourage awareness of the fundamental necessity of a year-round program for the protection and development of the health of the Nation's children, the Con- gress, by joint resolution of May 18, 1928, as amended (36 U.S.C. 143), has requested the President to issue annually a proclamation designating the first Monday in October as Child Health Day and calling for its appropriate observance. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Monday, October 4, 1976, as Child Health Day and I invite all Americans, as well as all agencies and organizations dedicated to the well-being of children, to unite on that day in support of activities that will alert each of us to our separate and collective responsibilities to protect and enhance the health of America's children. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-second day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and first.

Baroody Files at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library\nOF THE UNITED THE OF\nChild Health Day, 1974\nBy the President of the United States of America\nA Proclamation\nFor more than four decades, America has set aside a special day\neach year to emphasize the importance of child health.\nIn these decades, we have written a story of significant progress in\nchild health, as the national infant mortality rate has been sharply cut\nand many childhood diseases have been conquered or diminished in their\nseverity. For many handicapped children, in particular, advances in\nsurgical techniques and treatment have created new hope for happy,\nproductive lives.\nWe can be proud of this progress. Yet, as every parent knows, the\nthreat of serious disease still hangs over the lives of our children, striking\nfear in the hearts of those who love and cherish them. Our challenge-\nand the one to which this Administration will be committed-is to con-\ntinue steadfastly in reducing the health hazards to children through\nadequate programs which will assure their continued good health\nthroughout childhood.\nThe Congress has, by the Joint Resolution of May 18, 1928 (36\nU.S.C. 143), requested that the President of the United States annually\nissue a proclamation declaring the first Monday in October as Child\nHealth Day.\nNOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the\nUnited States of America, do hereby proclaim Monday, October 7,\n1974, as Child Health Day.\nI invite all agencies and organizations concerned with child health to\nunite upon that day in the observance of such activities as will accelerate\nour progress towards the promotion and protection of child health.\nIn addition, Child Health Day is an appropriate time to salute the\nwork which the United Nations, through its specialized agencies and the\nUnited Nations Children's Fund, is doing to improve the health of the\nchildren around the world.\nIN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth\nday of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-four,\nand of the Independence of the United States of America the one\nhundred ninety-ninth.\nGerall R. Ford\nOF THE UNITED THE\nOF\nChild Health Day, 1975\nBy the President of the United States of America\nA Proclamation\nIn the years since 1928, when Child Health Day was first proclaimed, our\nconcept of health has acquired new dimensions. No longer do we consider health\nmerely the timely treatment and cure of illness. Health now encompasses the\nprevention of those conditions which can lead to illness.\nScientific technology and medical research have given us many new tools to\nhelp in the essential tasks of preventing illness or conditions which can cripple.\nThanks to vaccines which have been developed in recent decades, poliomyelitis\nis no longer the widespread crippler it once was. Children can now be protected\nagainst measles and the risk of death or brain damage resulting from this disease.\nImmunization against rubella not only protects young children, but also protects\npregnant women from contracting the disease and risking the mental health of\ntheir unborn children.\nFuture challenge includes prevention of such divergent problems as birth\nabnormality, the battered child syndrome and the teen-age alcoholic, drug addict\nor criminal.\nIn our Bicentennial year as a Nation, we are charting a course for the future\nthat will enable us to complete the American dream. We can be certain that future\nscientific discoveries will help to control and conquer other conditions which now\ncripple or otherwise handicap children. For the present, each of us must resolve to\napply the knowledge and the means now at hand for the fullest protection of our\nchildren's health.\nAs an expression of its concern, the Congress, by joint resolution (36 U.S.C.\n143), has asked the President to designate the first Monday in October as Child\nHealth Day.\nNOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United\nStates of America, do proclaim Monday, October 6, 1975, as Child Health Day.\nI ask American parents on Child Health Day this year to place special\nemphasis on ensuring protection for their children against all diseases for which\nsafe and effective vaccines are now available.\nI call upon all citizens, agencies and organizations interested in child welfare\nto promote and observe appropriate activities, especially those which emphasize\nthe preventive immunizations so necessary for proper health care.\nIN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-\nfourth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-five,\nand of the Independence of the United States of American the two hundredth.\nGerall R. Ford\nOF THE UNITED 3H5 OF\nChild Health Day, 1976\nBy the President of the United States of America\nA Proclamation\nIn this year of our Bicentennial we have in many ways expressed our pride in the\nheritage which our forebears have bequeathed to us. But we are not solely heirs to\nthis great legacy; we are also trustees. Our responsibility is to protect, preserve, and\nenhance it in anticipation of the day when our children will assume responsibility for\nthe perpetuation of the ideals which have sustained this republic for two centuries.\nIt is our task to insure that they are prepared for that day. To that end, our\nconcern for their health and well-being cannot be overstated. Our concern is\nreflected in our continuing efforts to reduce infant mortality, eliminate childhood\ndiseases and handicaps, and expand preventive health services. The challenges of\npoliomyelitis, measles, and rubella led to the development of vaccines. Our resolution\nhas been tested by the challenges of birth abnormality, child abuse, and teenage\nalcoholism and drug abuse.\nWe have learned of steps prospective mothers can take during the prenatal period\nto lessen the likelihood their children will suffer from the tragedy of mental retardation,\nand we must assure that this vital information is available. We must continue to\nexplore those avenues of basic and applied research necessary to assure that every\nchild will be born with the physical and mental capacity to participate fully in our\nnational life.\nTo encourage awareness of the fundamental necessity of a year-round program\nfor the protection and development of the health of the Nation's children, the Con-\ngress, by joint resolution of May 18, 1928, as amended (36 U.S.C. 143), has requested\nthe President to issue annually a proclamation designating the first Monday in\nOctober as Child Health Day and calling for its appropriate observance.\nNOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States\nof America, do hereby proclaim Monday, October 4, 1976, as Child Health Day\nand I invite all Americans, as well as all agencies and organizations dedicated to the\nwell-being of children, to unite on that day in support of activities that will alert\neach of us to our separate and collective responsibilities to protect and enhance the\nhealth of America's children.\nIN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-second\nday of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-six, and of the\nIndependence of the United States of America the two hundred and first.\nGerall R. Ford\nTHE WHITE HOUSE\nWASHINGTON\nOctober 4, 1976\nMEMO FOR:\nROLAND ELLIOTT\nMARGUERITE class\nFROM:\nSubject:\nChild Health Day Proclamation\nPlease arrange to have the attached letter\nrobo-typed to the individuals on the enclosed\nlist for the Child Health Proclamation.\nThanks very much.\nBERALD\nTHE WHITE HOUSE\nWASHINGTON\nSeptember 30, 1976\nDear\nPresident Ford recently signed a Proclamation designating\nOctober 4th as Child Health Day, 1976. In his Proclamation\nthe President states, \"Our concern is reflected in our con-\ntinuing efforts to reduce infant mortality, eliminate childhood\ndiseases and handicaps, and expand preventive health services\nOur resolution has been tested by the challenges of birth\nabnormality, child abuse, and teenage alcoholism and drug\nabuse. 11\nThe President has asked that I send you the enclosed duplicate\nof his Proclamation as a small remembrance of this occasion.\nIt comes to you with his very best wishes.\nSincerely,\nBill Darmy\nWilliam J.
