SUBSCRIPTION One Year $1.00; 6 Months 50c Entered as second-class matter July 4, 1929, at the post office at Selma, N. C. under the Act of March 3, 1879. MOTHER’S DAY, MAY 14 The great events of this world are not revolutions, and economic conferences and banking reforms. The great events of this world are -babies. The most important people in this world are not soldiers, and the •statesmen and bankers. The most important people in this world are mothers, who are called upon to bring into existence a new genera tion. So it is fitting that on Monther’.s Day we honor mothers. It is even more fitting- that on this day we should take steps to make mother hood safe for them, as it is agreed by leading authorities that at least half the 16,000 women who annual ly die in childbirth could be saved by adequate maternity care. A meeting aimed to help remedy the situation is scheduled to be held in New York City May 12th, with Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, as principal speaker. A number of out standing medical authorities and educational leaders are to be on the program. Emphasis is to be placed on two important steps to be taken. First, people should und erstand that much depends on the choice of the doctor, and select one known to have had experience in maternity cases. After selecting him, parents must tru.st his judg ment, and not to prevail upon him to make painless a process which cannot always be made free from pmn witliout increasing the risk of infection and other undesirable com plications. Second, if a hospital is chosen, it should be one of high standards, such as those approved by the American College of Surg eons, for despite the fact that each year finds more women going to hospitals, there is no corresponding decrease in the morality rate. In fact, many authorities believe it is safer for a woman to have her baby at home, if conditions there are suitable, unless the mother’s con dition requires special care. The Maternity Center Association of New York, which is spon.soring the Mother’s Day meeting, has made a notable contribution to knowledge of what adequate mater nity care can do to .save mother’s lives. Among 4,726 women under their care over a period of eight years in a certain secton of New York Cty, the death rate was reduc ed two-thirds. Among those to be present at the Mother’s Day meeting are: Miss Frances Perkins, Secretary of Labor; Surgeon-General Hugh S. Gumming; Miss Grace Abbott, Chief of the Children’s Bureau; Dr. Wal ter Chipman, noted obstetrician of Montreal; Dr. Linsy Williams, Man aging Director of the New York Academy of Medicine; Dr. J. Al lison Hodges, President of the Merlical Society of the State of Vir ginia and Dr. S. S. Goldwater of the American Hospital .Association. With such an imposing array of well-informed and influential people behind this movement to “Make Motherhood Safe for Mothers,” it is not too much to expect the new deal tq include the “Forgotten Wq- Elsewhere in this paper will be found the schedule for the free trip to be given by the Johnstonian-Sun for all who turn into this office $200 in subscriptions to this paper. Besides seeing the big city of Chicago, the traveler will have an op-, portunity to see the choice exhibits of the entire world at the World’s Greatest Fair. This will permit the winner of one of these trips to see more and hear more about what the world is doing in science and art in a few days than he or she could learn from books in weeks or months or even years. And then, aside from what may be seen and heard at the great World’s Fair, the sights along the way going and com ing from Chicago are worth the effort it will cost to make the trip. You can board a pullman train right here in Selma which will take you right through the heart of the mountains of Western North Carolina where your eyes can behold some of the prettiest scenery to be found anywhere in all the world. Those who have never visited the mountain section of this state have no idea what awaits those who are so fortunate as to win one of these great trips. You owe it to yourself to make just such a trip—something that you will not only great ly enjoy every inch of the way, but in years to come you will have an experience to tell to your friends and acquaintances that few people will ever acquire in this life. If you should live to a ripe old age, you will still be able to tell this story to children and adults yet unborn as they listen spell bound to your words of wisdom gained on this wonderful trip. If you should do nothing else this summer from now until the closing day of this campaign but work to the end that you succeed in winning a free ticket so you can make this trip, you will find that you have never devoted a few weeks of your time to a better advantage in all your life. Such an opportunity may never present itself to you again, so why not enlist now and get busy before somebody else works the field which is ripe to the harvest. You do not necessarily have to secure 200 one year subscriptions or renewals to win. Some of your friends and acquaintances would no doubt be glad to pay their suls- scription to the Johnstonian-Sun for a period of 3 to 5 years in advance rather than see you lose such an opportunity. If you have to take some six months subscriptions, each of these will count 50 cents on the $200 which you need to turn in when the Free Ticket is issued to you. This free ticket does not mean railroad fare alone, for all your expenses are included, such as hotels bills, bus fare to and from the Fair Grounds, entrance to the Fair Grounds, a boat trip by night on Lake Michigan, sight seeing trips about Chicago and many other forms of free enter tainment. If you had plenty of money to pay your own way to this great World’s Fair, you would not be able to see as much as those who go on this trip, because those who have worked out this program have done so with the idea in mind to give those who go on this Special trip, sponsored by the Southern Railway and the Press of the State, the most and the Best that can be offered in accomodations, sight-seeing and educational advantages. So don’t lose any more time in making up your mind what to do about it, but decide NOW to be a winner and by exerting a little effort you can win. If, for any reason, you should enlist and get only a part of the required amount, but not enough to win a free ticket, you will be. paid 25c on each dollar you turn in; and then if you had to buy your ticket the amount commissions you would re ceive would help you pay for the ticket and you could go light along with the rest of the bunch with the same advantages as though you had won the required amount. man, SELMA’S COTTON AND CHICKEN MARKET LEADS DO YOU WANT 'TO GO?

This interest ing query has been answered by a clothing expert who resoi-ted to the simple expedient of searching" into records and discovering that various sizes of masculine wearing, apparel which are sold in the g-reat- est volume Charles F. Peters, style director for the Rogers Peet Company, took as a basis, fifteen years of clothing —.sales records to assemble a com posite figure of the average Ameri can man. He found that such a per son was 5 feet, 10 inches tall. Th-at he wears a size 40 suit. This hypo-- thetical man has a 35-inch waist,, wears a 15 1-2 collar and has arms 19 inches long. His' legs are 32 in- long and he wears a hat size 7 1-8. His socks are size 10 1-2 and his shoes are size 7 1-2. Shortly after the World War. this American man’s chest measure increased slightly, due to the in fluence of universal military train ing. At the same time, his girth dimini.shed. Peters declares that general abstinence from beer was the cause and the prediction now is that the averag’e American man will have a more genial girth within a. few years. BROTHER OF HUGH M.
