5 FREE CLINIC WILL BE "jr. RESBYTERIANS! TO) Sockwell and Stansbury Accept Decision, But Turner Files An Exception. V CITY WILL PAVE STREET GUEENSIiORO DAILY NEWS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15. 1921 Adults to Be Given Complete Physical Examination; Back i. ed By Medical Society. LOWER MORTALITY RATE Friday morning the committee of the Guilford County Medical society met here to discuss further plans for the free diagnostic clinic. The move ment's prime purpose is to decrease the mortality rate among adults, The Guilford committee has been appoint ed with power to act and it consists of Dr. W. M. Jones, county health officer, chairman; Dr. J. T. J. Uattle. of Greens boro, and Dr. V. J. MoAnally, of High Point. Meeting with' the committee was Dr. K. S. Wariim, of the state hoard of health, who nan recently completed a campaign of the kind to be put on here In Guilford. The county previously worked by Dr, War in was Lee ol which Sanford and Jonesboro are the important centers. , "The work," paid Dr. Warinp, "com prised a thoroughly physical examina tion of 733 presumably well people in seven and a half weeks. Statistics as to the incidence of the most pronounc ed diseases und defects will be pub lished shortly ho that the people of Guilford county will have brought home to theni the medical needs of a sister county just as the campaign is starting" here." i Another - meeting of the Guilford committee is to be held about the mid dle of next week at which time def inite plans and a tentative program of townships will be mapped out. The present prospect is to institute a traveling diagnostic clinic which will he made a permanent fixture in Greensboro and High 1'oint after it has thoroughly demonstrated its need throughout the whole county. Chairman Jones stated lat night that the clinic will be open to every eitlsseri in Guilford county. The move ment has the support of the Guilford society. Physicians believe that many adults presumably well folks will sooner or latr be overtaken by one of t he vicious diseases to which the human body is heir. If the disease Is detected In time medical science may be able to abolish it in the person. If the physicians cannot actually cure the patient they may at least be able to arrest the disease, thereby lowering the mortality rate among adults. The examiners will be on the look out 'for the more deadly diseases, such as tuberculosis, kidney trouble, heart trouble and other diseases that cause about 80 per cent of the deaths among adults. Of course, said Mr. Jones, after a person is examined and found to be suffering from a disease, it will he not compulsory for him to lake treatment. However, the physicians will strongly urge that he consult his family phy sician for treatment and a confirma tory examination if he deems it necessary. The clinic is expected to "go a long way toward reducing the adult mortal Hy rate in Guilford; if this is accom plished the Guilford society and th slate board of health will have Just cause for gratification. And, if Hh clinir proves to be a success in t Ik county it is expected that arrange ments for making it a permanent af fair will be worked nut. W. II.

With t lie udded facilities that this money u-111 provide, many of these children can bo tuken In and given a chance In life. We believe that you will rlae to this emergency and contribute every cent needed fur this purpose. Yours respectfully, (Signed) C'AMIOUO.V MOUIUiSO.V. A, V. WATTS H. It. LACY. JAMKS H. YOVNO A. W, M'LKAN. J AM US Sl-Itl'NT. . Raleigh, N. C Nov. 15, liilil. THE fate of Jesus rested in Pilate's hands; and the blood of Jesus was upon Pilate's hands it RE MAINED there, his declaration to the contrary not withstanding. v ... But, weak as Pilate proved to be, we must give him credit for an attempt poor though it may have been to prevail against the multitude in behalf of Jesus, to square his conscience , - . The fate of 300 homeless, helpless children rests in our hands,- as surely as did the fate of Jesus in the hands of Pilate. Those children are knocking at the doors of Barium Springs Orphanage. Which is the worse crime To allow Jesus, an in nocent man, to be crucified; or to allow these 300 inno cent children to be turned back from the doors of the Kingdom into the street into the gutters of shame and degradation, perhaps to crucify their one oppor tunity in life? Will we YOU and I who are charged with re sponsibility for their future, acquit ourselves Of that re sponsibility as Pilate attempted to do? Or will 'we do even so much as did Pilate? It would be tragic indeed, if, on the Day of Judg ment, we should find the shame of once innocent chil dren upon our hands. It is a matter demanding our prayerful consideration backed by WORK! A Challenge to Our Faith HE ha8 asked us to suffer little children to come unto Mm, yet the provision we have made to give a home and Chris tian training to the homeless, the fatherless, falls short of even half our obligation. There are 231 children in the home that we have built 300 on the outside, for whom we are responsible, for whom there Is no place. Is our religion "pure and undefiled?" Are we visiting upon the fatherless the opportunity in life which they have a right to expect of us as Christian men and women? What an opportunity to show ourselves unspotted by the sins of greed, of avarice, of miserliness, of selfishness! We have far to go to pay the debt of neglect to them, of ingratitude to Him. It is a challenge to our faith. As one man of our church has put it! "The call Is the call of helpless childhood, asking for a home and a chance; the answer should be an answer worthy of a great church." The accumulated sum of our neglect, expressed In money, Is $500,000. It will require that amount to place Barium Springs equipment on a plane adequate to meet orphaned childhood's demands upon it along with a doubled sup port. We are not asked ut this Thanksgiving season to pay tho whole of that debt though what a glorious victory for North Carolina Presbyterians if they would do it! We are asked for a minimum of $125,000. Of this amount, $25,000 will go towards support; $25,000 for re pairs to present buildings; $75,000 for new buildings. That Is to be our Thanksgiving offering that and as much more as the fullness of our hearts and lives dictates that we shall give. And mav there be no Pilates among us none who will try to shift the burden of responsibility to other shoulders. The responsibility is ours YOURS and M1NI0! CAN WE REALITY ENJOY THAT THANKSGIVING DINNER, THE DAY'S RE LAXATION, HUNT OR FOOTBALL GAME, AND FORGET THE ORPHANS? Remember Little Joe Gillam When You Gi-e(Jp2p who died at Barium Springs at the age of eight and a half years, he had saved his pennies scrupulously pennies ho had earned by singing for visitors that there might be built there a Temple of God, a church "with porches." The 45 cents that was his little lifetime hoard formed the nucleus around which Lit tle Joe's Chapel was built. May that same unselfish spirit permeate our hearts this Thanksgiving season.
