The annual memorial exercises at New Providence Christian church has grown to be a community event that is looked forward to from year to year. The custom was instituted more than a dozen years ago, when an organization was formed and named Providence Memorial Asso ciation. The Association concerns itself with looking after and keeping in order the cemetery, which is one of the largest and oldest in the coun ty. On each first Sunday in June those who have friends and relatives buried in the sacred spot gather to show respect to the dead and place flowers upon their graves. ■ The program committee, Mess. Mcßride Holt and Junius H. Harden and Miss Ella Andrews ar ranged a program that varied some what from the usual program, in that, instead of a memorial sermon or ad dress, short talks were arranged for by those whose ancestors sleep in the cemetery. The exercises were open ed with introductory remarks by Mr, Juniuß H. Harden. The following were presented : Mr. E. S. Parker, Jr., Rev. J. W. Wellons, Capt. W. H. Turrentine, Mr. A. T. Whitsett of Greensboro, Dr. D. A. Long. The speakers did not come with set speeches, bnt were in the form of reminiscences, and they were heard with pleasure by all. The singing for the occasion was lead by the Graham Choral Union that has added so much to the pleas ure of numerous occasions by their excellent singing. So pleasing was the singing that in the business meeting in the afternoon a rising vote of thanks was tendered by the Association. After the morning's exercises the congregation repaired to the ceme tery and placed Hewers on the graven Then the many well-filled baskets were opened and the contents spread out in picnic fashion. When dinner was over a short business meeting was held. The financial report showed the treasury in better shape than for several years. Much work had been done on the cemetery and the committee will prosecute the work until it is in good shape all over. Upon motion all the old officers were re-elected unanimously, as fol lows: W. H. Holt, President; Ist Vice-President, Mc'Jride Holt; 2nd Vice-President, J. N. H. Clendenin; 3rd Vice-Piesident, J. W. Harden, Jr.; Secretary, Miss Ella Andrews; Treasurer, Mrs. Mcßride Holt.

In order to ward off another opidemic of polioinyelistis or in fantile paralysis in New York City this summer, the city in be stirring itself to the point of adopting almost every feasible moans of disease prevention, par ticularly as it affects the chil dren's health. Since the manner of spread of Infantile paralysis is not yet known, the city is willing to take no responsibility in fail ing to safeguard every avenue of infection against a recurrent epi demic of the disease. Consequent ly many movements are now afoot not only to guard against this particular disease but to protect children's health as far as possible during the summer months. That decayed teeth may act as an avenue of "polio" Infection has been suggested to thchralth department of New York by I)r. Louis Fischer. lie says: "The border line between mouth, i e., teeth, and throat, is too to overlook as a possible point of entrance of the infection." Dr. Fischer's suggestion will be acted upon by the city health depart ment and a campaign against de cayed teeth will soon be set in motion. As a result of such precautions eveu the outbreak of in fantile paralysis last summer, it is a significant fact that there wero actually 1,052 fewer deaths of babies under one year of age in New York City in 1910 than in lUIS, and there were actually :J'«M fewer deaths of children under five years of age in 1910 than in 1915. In fact, despite the out break of infantile paralysis, the death rales of children under one year of age and under five of age were lower last year than* ever before in tho history of the city.
