Andrews Lions
Get Their Charter
Andrews Lions Club was offtcl-4
ally launched Thursday nignt with
a gala charter night banquet at
Junaluska Terrace Hotel, Andrews.
Lion H. Bueck introduced Lion
Hugh Montelth, International coun
selor of Sylva, who was speaker
of the evening. Mr. Montelth gave
, the subject of his address "Why
A Lions Club?". His opening re
marks were "We have a Lions
Club in order that we may have an
opportunity to make a united ef
fort to render service to the com
munity represented. Fun and fel
lowship are necessary to make a
club, but they cannot replace ser
vice. There is a need for men wil
ling to step out and join hands
with other men and give the best
that is within them". He further
stated that men who do not feel a
pulse of sympathy for the less for- j
tunatae in their community do not'
deserve the title of citizen. To be
a good Lion, a man must first be
a good citizen and a good man. He
referred to the title of Lions code
cf ethics and asked that each mem
ber read and study it carefully to
be worthy of being a Lion. "A Club
will never raise a standard higher
than the standards of its indivi
dual members", he said.
He closed his address with the
prediction that if the Lions Club
0' Andrews will get a vision of the
opportunities of service and are
willing to work and share a full
part of responsibility, the club will |
be one that Lions International
will be proud of.

Officer Requests
All Children To
Be Immunized
Dr. J. W. R. Norton, state Health
Officer, has announced that North j
Carolina leads the nation in diph- '
ihcria in the proportion of cases I
per 100,000 population.
Norton's report reveals that the i
case rate in North Carolina was 1
12.4 per 100,000 as against a na-1
'ional rate of 3.9 per 100,000.
In 1950 there were 500 diphthe
ria cases in North Carolina, with
27 deaths, even though state law
requires that every child be lm
nunlzed.
Dr. Norton said, "These figures I
should shock our people into ac-|
Hon."
While there were 60 whooping
rough deaths in 1950, there were
23 polio deaths. Yet a greater em
phasis is placed on polio. Children
can be immunized against whoop
ing cough, though no such preven
tion has been found for polio.
"Cherokee County citizens
should cooperate with their health
department ? in complying with the
law and having their children im
munized against diphtheria and
whooping cough." says Dr. Joseph
E. Donlan, health officer.
