PAGE TWO 4 Adequate Hospital Facilities Are Necessity In All Communities Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, Oct. 13.—Adequate hospital facilities are an economic necessity in any community, and without these facilities it will continue to be almost impossible to reduce the oonstuntlj in creasing death rate from degeneiati\e diseases, since these diseases cannot be adequately treated except in hos pitals, Dr. O’H. Laughinghouse told thp members of the American Business Club here, in discussing the economic importance of proper hospitalization. ‘•While much progress l.ns been made in the control of the various commuunicable diseases, such as ty phoid, scarlet fever, whooping cough, smallpox and similar contagious diseases, boards of health all over the United States are faced with the fact that degenerative diseases, such as cancer, heart disease, kidney disease, have increased greatly in the last ten years and still are increasing,” Dr. Laughinghouse said. “In fact, statis tic compiled by life insurance actur arice and vital statisticians indicate that the number of deaths from these diseases has approximately doubled per 100.000 in the last ten years. “Take cancer, for instance. Cancer has been and can be cured. But it trust first be discovered in its in ciplency, and then must be given the most meticulous sort of treatment. In fact, it is almost impossible to treat cancer successfully if the patient re mains at home. But if treated in o hospital, where everything is designed and administered along scientific lines, there is much greater likelihood of recovery and cure. And in the long run, the cost is much less." Many people have had the impres aion the hospital treatment is very expensive and only to be had in cases of extreme emergency, according to Dr. Laughinghouse, and in the pasl this may have been true. But it is no longer true in all cases, for at present hospital care in many locali ties is much cheaper than having a nurse in the home, and the resultant disorder in the home routine that al most always follows. The cost of hospitalization in some communities has been high because the facilities have been inadequate, but this condition is fast being overcome. ( as communities are realizing the need of more adequate facilities and are taking steps to provide rhem. One of the greatest needs for hos pitals in North Carolina is in the smaller towns and rural sections, ac cording to Dr. Laughinghouse, who illustrated this need by the work now being done in a small hospital in Franklin, Macon county .which he visited last week. This hospital, with “Show Me the Girl I Can’t,” j says Dick Diamond \ A Faint Heart never j . won a fair lady, but a daz zling Diamond wins them every time.

Nor is this hospital.an isolated case. The same is true of hospitals all over the state, thus showing that oue of the crying needs in the health program for the state is more hospitals.” Attention was called to the fact that sickness costs on an average of $25 'per person a year in the state, and that with approximately 3,000,000 people in the state, the annual total cost of sickness in North Carolina amounts to $75,000,000 a year. Much of this great economic loss could be prevented through more adequate hos ,ital facilities, Dr. Laughinghouse contended, and it should be the duty of every citizen to see that more hos pitals are provided, merely from an > economic standpoint, in addition to its other phases, he declared. fcXiON TEAM HEAVIER THAN THE WILDCATS Two Teams Will Clash Saturday Afternoon at Richardson Field. Davidson, X. C., Oct. 13. The Elon Christians, who battle the Davidson Wildcats on Richardson Field, Davidson College, at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon in the first home game for the Presbyterians, will have a weight advantage over the Wild cats, both in the line and in the back field. The forwards of the Elon team will average 173 pounds; the Wi’dcat line men, with Hampton out of the fray at center, will touch the scales at only 169 pounds. Davidson’s backfield will be four pounds an average lighter than the Christians, the latter’s ball carriers averaging 156 pounds. This means a great gridiron fight. This week found another Davidson lineman out of the game for next Saturday, McColgan, guard, being confined to the infirmary with an in jured kqee. Coach Younger stated L hat Nat Hunt, a freshman last year, would probably be pitted against the Christians. He has been substituting in most of the games played this eason. Although Hampton, big center, is >ut for practice each day, he is still -!ot in condition, which means that DoArmon, who p’ayed the pivot point igainst Wofford Saturday, will be used again, the coaches being careful, h> save their men as much as pos -:l)le for the mixup with the Demon Deacons in'Greensboro the following week. • fhavidson's fast backfield. however, i is completely intact.

[ The family of John Rudd, farmer J 'J this county, shocked his family f ‘be other day when he was sepn to 1 p.ke off his pants and run widly in I his B. V.

Rudd said he felt something pulHng nt his trousers and when he looked behind him he saw the rattler trailing 'ehind.

F. Cannon, E. T. Cannon, and M. F. Teeter in Track Events at Fair. Six horses belonging to local stable owners wi.l be entered in the four trot and pace events at the Cabarrus District Fair this afternoon. Kobbingen, property of J. F. Can non, president of the Fair Associa tion, who won the undying support of Cabarrus fans lafit year by taking the 2:17 pace in straight heats, is entered in the first race this after noon, the 2 :10 trot. Belfast, another livelv J. F. Cannon entry, is a *o en tered and it is believed by many that he will give his stalbe-mate plenty of opposition before the three heats are finished. Henry Scott, who drove Robbiugen at the 1926 race*, will again be behind his favorite. Foster, is scheduled to drive Belfast. In the second events, the 2:10 pace, the Fair president hae entered his prize racer, The Creed, who will be -piloted by Scott. Norma Harvester and Moko Ax worthy are expected to make strong bids for the purse in the third race, ' the 2:20 trot. The former is from the stable* of J. F. Cannon and the ’atter from those of M. F. Teeter. Scott and Hendsley will be the respec tive drivers. Macaroan Patch, the E. T. Cannon entry in the fourth race, the 2:14 pace, driven by Dick Rodgers, is ex pected by many to duplicate the .per formance of Bishop Baron, who trot ted to victory in straight heats in the opening race of the Fair Tues day. All in all, unless the dope bucket is fearfully upset, it should be Caba’rrus Day on the tracks as well as at the Fair, with trotters and pacers front Concord stables copping the majority of honors. NEGRO BOOTLEGGERS CAPTURED LAST NIGHT BY SHERIFF’S PARTY More Than Two Gallons of Bootleg Product Seized at Home of Robert Morehead in the County. Two negro bootleggers repose safe y in the hands of the law here to day following their apprehension and capture last night by Deputy Sheriffs Chapman, Nusaman and Faggart.

Opie, of Burlington, Gives Address on World -Conference at Lausanne. An addrees on the Lausanne Con ference, which was held in the city of Lausanne, Switzerland, last Au gust, on Christian Faith and Order, was de.ivered by Rev. <_ Thomas F. Opie, of Burlington, at the afternoon session of the Woman’s Auxiliary, Mecklenburg district, at All Saints Episcopal Church Wednesday. Despite the unfavorable weather some fifty delegates gathered here for the district meeting. The convention was opened at 10:30 o’clock with the celebration of the Holy Communion at which Rt. Rev. Edwin A. Penick of ficiated. Mrs. W. H. Gorman, of thie city, . extended greetings to the district, to which Mrs. S. W. Salisbury, of Char lotte, responded. Next Mrs. Harold C.

Opie, who sang “The Publican.” Miss Maria Tucker, •of Charlotte, played the accompaniment. Mr. Opie. who attended the Lau sanne conference, gave in his inter esting address comprehensive word pic tures of the personnel, setting, pur poses and- results of the world con ference on faith and order. The view point of the conference, it is obvious, was to bring about Christian unity. Mr. Opie explained that, between 400 and 500 delegates, representing ninety different nationwide chuivhes, all of which acknowledge Christ as God and Saviour, attended the confer ence for the purpose to study the dif ferences of doctrine and organization. The Roman Catholic Church was not officially represented, according to Mr. Opie. The Catholic Church when ex tended an invitatiou to attend an swered that itR views on Christian unity were well known. Mr. Opie spoke as an observer. The conference, he said, was not for a controversy, but for a peace measure. In the word of one of the Lausanne delegatee, "the conferences were chil dren talking over family prayers in the House of God.” The conference also revealed that there was a world wide will for Christian unity, but in the opinion of the speaker, Christian unity will not come for many year* to come.

BETHEL SCHOOL NEWS Work in High and Elemenlary School Is Off to Fine Start This Year. Bethel elementary and high school is making splendid progress in all phases of school work. There is a fine spirit of co-operation on the part of parents, faculty and students. Much interest is being manifested in the classrooms. Under these favorable conditions we are expecting a very successful school year. The enro Iment for the first month was two hundred and twenty-six. A hundred and twenty were enrolled in the elementary department and a hun dred and six in the high school. The attendance has been good, considering the busy season of the year. We have added agriculture and mu sic to our curriculum this year and hope to have home economics the sec ond semester. These two new fea ture* of school life will mean much to the community. The two literary societies, the Eagles and the are doing excel lent work. We are expecting to ac complish much In this field. The work will consist chiefly of readings, dec nmations, short stories, essays, de bates and studies on special topic*.

The club will meet on Wednesday of each week. Realizing that 1» filing is the pro cess of training bo.h body aud mind and that education is the development of the whole man. we find it necessary to give some time to physical training. In order to do tbus we have organized mi athletic association in the high school to which every member of the faou ty and every student belongs.
