. - December 8, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 15 Women Voters' News (Continued from page 8) Sherwin, League president, said today. "It is our high hope that early and ap- proving action will be taken on the pact, which we regard, and I believe rightfully, as a most forward step to- ward permanent peace. "In supporting the Newton bill, which creates a child welfare extension serv- ice in the U. S. Children's Bureau, the league is once more maintaining its belief that the Federal government has a responsibility for public welfare in a scientific and educational program for the promotion of the health of mothers and infant children." Mrs, Alfred D. Kohn of Chicago, Chairman of the State Committee on Child Welfare, is in charge of the work on the Newton bill in Illinois. Mrs. Robert Van Leer Wright has been appointed a member of the Win- netka league delegation to the Cook County council of the Illinois League of Women Voters.
