Six Noted Authorities On Health
To Participate In NCC Worltshop
ROCKY MOUNT
Speaking before one of tha
largest gathering of memben of
the Rocky Moimt Academy of
Medicine, Dr. L. R. Swift, noted
gynecologist and obstetrician of
Durham, discussed in a very
scholarly manner the topic “Gy
necologic Bleeding and Ita
Treatment”.
Dr. Swift reviewed the causes
of this condition existing in the
female and urged his listeners
to screen out the causative agent
before treating the patient Just
empirically.
Taking the patient at various
intervals of life the speaker
pointed out the many conditions
that can give rise to this condi
tion, and he struck out strongly
at the physician who refuses to
thoroughly examine his patient
until it is far too late to effect
cure.
Dr. Swift discussed at length
the newer trends in the treat
ment of functional bleeding in
patients and declared that 11 the
practictioner followed these
trends and ruled out malignan
cies the patient would get relief
but the physician should warn
the patient that overnight cures
cannot be had lor the most part
in these conditions and that
these patients should be loUow-
ed lor months before discharge
is given.
Accompanying* Dr. Swift to
Rocky Mount was Dr. William
Cleland of Durham, the Presi
dent of the Old North State
Medical Society. Dr. Cleland
discussed the program of the
State body and said that en
couraging signs were appearing
throughout the State in relation
to the overall program of the
Society. He was questioned at
length by the members relative
to the matter of integration of
the Negro Medical men in this
State into what is now the Medi
cal Society of the State of North
Carolina.
Dr. Cleland stated that it was
unfortunate that North Carolina
had propped so far behind in
this phase of -integration. He
stated that Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Alabama, Missouri,
District of Columbia, and Mary
land had already changed their
constitutions in order to bring ill
the Negro Medical segment and
that according to a gentleman’s
agreement with the Executive
Committee of the Medical So
ciety of the State of North Caro
lina their constitution was due
to come up for revision at their
annual meeting this spring. Both
organizations have been work
ing on a solution to this prob
lem and it is generally believed
that this so-called gentlemen’s
agreement would come into a

By CHARLES J. HABUS
(HMES Mnslc Editor)
Miss Mattiwilda Dobbs, fresh
from triumphs in Opera and
Concerts at the La Scala, Milan,
Covent Garden, Royal Op^ra
House, England, Fnmce, Bel
gium, Switzerland, Holland, and
Scandinavia, opened the North
Carolina College Series in Duke
Auditorium on Thursday night,
February 18.
Miss Dobbs sang two Ariqs by
Mozart, lour German Lieder
numbers by Hugo Wolf, an Aria
by Rimsky-Korsakoff, four songs
by Francis Poulene, fouf by
Joaquin Nin, two Spirituals by
Harry Bureligh, one by William
Lawrence and one unaccom
panied.
It was just seven years ago
that this reviewer first heard of
Miss Dobbs. She has gained id
stature in so brief a period when
one considers she is still quite
youthful. Her range and voice in
breath and sonority, touched
upon phenomenal. One can easi
ly see why European critics
have raved over her delivery of
operatic arias and art songs.
Mozart penned Florid melodic
lines in his Operas. This is
especially true for the Colora
tura. Miss Dobbs amazed her
audience with the ease in which
she executed these pantlcular
passages. Mozart seemed made
to order for her. Mozart wrote
much of his music under great
physical discomforts. No one but
a genius could have accomplish
ed so much of loveliness under
such circumstances. In one of the
Arias, Miss Dobbs essayed a high
F seemingly without effort.
In the German Lieder by
Woll was music to test her ro
mantically. When a singer has
the voice, physical stature and
technical equipment, florid mu
sic is not too much ol a problem;
but lieder singing is something
else. The singer must have that
inborn divine spark which can
say lervently, come nestle to my
heart, I Love You. Some singers
have this spark early in their
career, some need to become
mature and some, the GREAT
majority, never show it. To Miss
Dobbs in maturity may come
reality within the very near fu
ture.
Members from Greenville,
New Hem, Enfield, Tarboro,
Weldon as well as local men
were in attendance.
this elusive but most significant
asset in the annala ol wholesome
LIVING. One can attempt to
woo this divine spark by high
thinking and reading great lit
erature.
Sordid thinking, selfishness
plus its’ attributes block this as
set to aU who have not the wis
dom to seek her for favors she
has to bestow. U one has had the
privilege of hearing Rowland
Hayes sing, Fritz Kerisler play
the violin or the late Charles
Tindley preach, you may know
what I mean. No one could listen
to these artists without being
stirred to the depths. Dame For
tune touched these with her
wand and commanded them to
go forth'and inspire men to bet
ter way of LIFE.
This reviewer is not familiar
with the composers Poulene and
Nim. Mack Herrell sang some
songs of Poulene on his recital l|i
Page Auditorium, Duke Unlver
sity, the same night of Miss
Dobbs recital. These composfers
finding favor with singers must
mean they have merit. Ikliss
Dobbs was recalled again and
again after both groups. This
was commendable to the singer,
in that she held her audience
by sheerwtistry inspite of these
numbers being new to most of
her audience. Miss Dobbs’ audi
ence loved her. This was easily
understandable, when one noted
her native chato.
To the Spirituals Miss Dobbs
brought genuine fervor. The
simplicity of this religious mu
sic lends them to a higlily emo
tional appeal. The singer enter
ed into this native music and in
tensity of utterance that was a
satisfying climax to this brilli
ant recitation. May she go far.
