Stokes Prenatal and
Well Baby Clinic
The monthly Prenatal Well ]
Baby Clinic will be held in Walnut'
Cove, on Thursday, December 30,
fHom 2 p. m., to 3 p. m., in the
office formerly occupied by Dr. j
Hackler. Dr. G. F. Reeves, of
Walnut Cove will be in charge of
the clinic, assisted by the local
public health nurse.
Expectant mothers, both white
I
and colored, that have not visit-j
ed their own private physician
had a thorough physical examin
ation are invited to attend thisj
clinic. The people in charge of
the clinic are endeavoring to
reach the group of mothers that
never consult a doctor during the
prenatal period and to teach them j
the importance of prenatal care
They are also anxious that all
babies and pre-school children
that have not been protected
against diphtheria, receive i"'i' |
protection either by going to their j
own physician or by bringing j
their children to this clinic.
Facts About
Diphtheria In
! North Carolina!
Diphtheria is principally a dis
ease of childhood. Approximate
ly seventy per cent of the oases
occur in children und'"* four.
Ninety per cent of the deaths ..re
children under Ave years of age.
It is always a serious disease.
Last year there were more than
10,000 deaths in the United
States from diphtheria. Knowing
that such a large number of chil
dren under six years are suscept
ible to diphtheria and that ninety
[per cent of the deaths are in the
' same group, we can truly sav
| that the time of greatest danger
is from six months to six years.
In spite of the fact that an ef
fective remedy for the prevention
' of this disease has been standard
ized for fourteen years, too many
[ children die in North Oarolim
; each year from the mialady. Pre
■ vention is much easier than to
cure.

"Dear Santa Claus, Please Bring Me—"
Wouldn't it be swell to wake from the long 1
night to see standing" out there, its spires bath
ed in the roselight of the Christmas dawn~i;he
castle of your dreams—
To hear its gleaming halls ringing with the i
minstrelsy of the olden days— I
And its brilliantly lighted chambers echoing i
with the voices and the laughter of friends long
loved and lost—
j And the voices proclaiming the gold and the |
wealth of all the ages undreamed and unmeasur- j
ed by poet's fancy or historian's imagination?
No, but imparting the gold of wisdom and
knowledge and the priceless jewels of judcr-j
ment and righteousness, of sympathy and friend
ship, of tolerance, faith and the peace that
passeth understanding—
Of wisdom and knowledge, that you may
know the tinsel and the sham and the folly of
the glory and the eclat of life—
Of tolerance, that you may consider the view
i point of others, and be fair in your appraisals ot
the worth and the motives of your fellow man—
j Of understanding that you may be just in your
estimates of human aspirations and efforts, and
life's heartbreaking problems—
i Of sympathy and justice that you may not
fatten on the misfortunes of other men—
Of a sense of values that you may be able to
smile, or to give unstinted and sincerely of your
tears— •• „. »■
Of faith that you may ever strive upward and
onward to that ideal exemplified bv the Giver
of every good and perfect gift.

Saving the Country?
j The senior senator from North Carolina, Hon,
Josiah W. Bailey, has recently delivered himself
of a verv interesting baby, which he has named
"An Address to the People of the United States."
-i The birthr>lace of this distinguished offspring
■:wa.s naturallv circumvented with considerable
qporecv. possibly not so much from tho fpar of
■ kidnaping as from the Senator's political mod
i esty.
■j But the newspaper nivs —always on the alert
' j for scoops—havo lof it out that it arrived not i>-
1 p manner but in the palatial home of Senator
■ Peter Gerry, one of the most abluent citizens of
' Rhode Island, and that among the wise men who
were present at this notable nativitv were Sen
ator Bailev. Senator Arthur Vandenburg, slated
ns a 1940 Renublican presidential possibility;
Senator John Townsend. a Delware Republican
of parts; and Senator Harry Byrd of Virginia,
wet nurse.
There were other Republicans and Democrats
present, all critics and blockers of the New Deal,
and members or affiliates of the Liberty League.
The absence of Drs, Landon and Hoover was
doubtless due to the fact that neither of these
physicians can bear the presence of the other.
Senator Bailey's baby, if we may believe the
Senator's own admission, is giftd with 10 very
fine "points," each of which in a general way iV
a present cure for the country, now rushing "to
hell under Roosevelt."
The Senator's contribution to country's
salvation—called now a manifestoes passing
brilliant and illuminating in its healiner clauses,
yet everybody is wondering why the Sen
ator at this historical, psychological moment,
did not seize the opportunity to suggest several
other panaceas which he so grotesquely omitted
For instance.
There was nothing in the formulae suggest
ing a repeal of deposit insurance, a Roosevelt
ruse to save the people's money. Before it, 10,-
000 banks failed, since, practically none.
'No Boys To CCC Camp I
From Stokes in January
Information received from s
Fourth Corps Area Army Head
quarters, Atlanta, Ga., is to the
i
effect that North Carolina will
i only be allowed a quota of 200
white Juniors and that there is a
i
; limit of not more than two (2)
assembly points for enrolling. ]
I In the light of the facts men- c
tioned above, it is not deemed ad- ;
I visable to allot Stokes county a t
quota for C. C. C. enrollment in j
I January. It is hoped that the j
I requisition for CCC applicants for ,
enrollment in April will be
large enough to justify a sub- j
'stantial quota for this county. |
