Williamsport Sun: October 26, 1927 – Plans Ready for Baby Show

Final plans for the “Better Baby Show” conducted by Williamsport Forest #75 Tall Cedars of Lebanon will be completed this week. Fully 200 of Lycoming County’s baby population will match their physical perfections against one another for 12 prizes for the 12 healthiest babies when the contest is opened at the armory on Monday.

The babies will be first be stripped, weighed and measured and then passed from one physician to another. The examinations will be made from a regular health form of chart, and after the examinations are completed the health charts showing the exact health status of every child will be returned to its parents.

Thirty prominent Williamsport physicians, including 18 baby specialists have offered their services to the Williamsport chapter of the Tall Cedars Lodge, and will assist with the examinations of the babies.

Dr. Charles D. Wolfe, chairman of the doctors’ committee stated that the doctors are deeply interested in the welfare of the children and were ready to render any service necessary to assist the local lodge of Tall Cedars a success.

All parents who have their babies entered in the show and who have not received their health chart are requested to report to the Tall Cedars club house not later than Saturday evening.
