‘illioD Dollar
Wedding’ Held
t
BY MAGGIE E. McMOORE
BOCK HILL, S. C,
Million Dollar Wedding sponos-
spred by the alumni of Friend
ship College on last Tuesday
evening was ^an overwhelming
success, the sunn ofj|120.29 was
raised from a capacity audienc^e
which crowded every inch of
available space to witness the
spectacle. The '^Wedding was
given in an effort to ruse
money for the purpose of im
proving and renovating the
buildings at Friendahip College.
Twelve brides took part in
the mammoth wedding, with
Miss ■ Carrie Barber winning
fire prizes by raising the liigh-
est amount of money. Rev. Cure-
ton, a student at Friendship
College was the “groom”-_e/ the
winning 'bride. Mrs. Susie Fergu
son won second prize, and Mrs.
ISthel Frazier was one of the
chief sponsors of the occcaaion.
The alumni association is very
grateful to all those who made
the occasion such ati outstand
ing success. The administ) ntion
and student body of the Coll
ege is happy that the efforts of
the alumni were so outstandingly
succes*ful, and feel certain that
such continued cooperation will
make Friendship College a hi^-
er education center.
than Durhs^ _a*>d that 42 at j
t« 48 states in the cOuntr*' had|
a lower death rats in Infants
than North Carolina? It is not
very fltatering, is itf However,
it is true, and sonMthing nast
be done about it. Of every 1,000
babies born in the United Stat
es, S4 die during their first
year, but in North Carolina, 65
die and in Durham 67 psrith!
There are fiv^ posiible rea
sons for the death of babiea:
1 too few physicians, 2 ‘nadequ
a|(^ -hospitals, 8 insufficient
health department, 4 poor health
and general weakness of the
people, and 6 ignorance and
carelessness Of parents. Let us
examine these factors.
First, Durham County l^as 66
physicians in pr»ctice, in addi
tion to an equal number at
Duke Hospital, or one physi
cian for every 700 people in
Durham County, utvhich is better
than the national average, and
nearly twice as hi^fh as the re
mainder of Nc«th Carolina in
which the ratio is one physi
cian to 1,^84 of the popula-
l^on. The conclusion is that
Durham has enough physic'ans
to care for the people.
Second, what about the hos
pitals in Durham? The Watts
Hospital has 2^ beds, the Mc
Pherson Hospital 40 bed), the
Lincoln Hospital 108 beds, the
County Home Infirmary 20 beds
and Duke Hospitals has 456
beds and will soon have 113
more, making a total of 9|S2
beds, or one bed for every 90
people in Durham County! The
national average is one approv
ed hospital to every 2®2 of the
population. Durham City and
County also appropriate 17®,
000 annually to pay part of
the cost of Durham chwity pa-
ients, and the Hcftpital Care
^nd Hospital Savings Associa
tion make itipossible for Durr
ham self supporting people to
provide for their hospital needs.
The hospital facilities certainly
are adequa/te.
Next the health depaii'ment—
Durham ha« a full time health
officer, two full time and two
part time county physji-ians,
and thirty cne nurses, sanitary
inspectoral, laboratory techni
cians, secretaries and clerks. In
addition, there are nine free-
matemity clinics and five
syphilis clinics. In oth^r words

about tha quality of tbesa medi

department, physicians and hos

What about the fourth fac
tor, the general health and
weakness of the Durhsm ,.co-
ple? Ko one has ever heard a..y
complaints. The title of “Tar j school, is
Heels” was not earned by a
people.
Durham has adequate medical
hospdUl and health facilities,
and the people are Of good con
stitution, therefore it would %eem
that ttie real reason to" the
high infant death rata is the
fif'th factor, namely that the
parents of Durham are ignorant
of the medical resources avail-
id>le pr are too careless to use
them. Regardless of the poverty
of the patient, the Duritam medi

there are numerous groups and
individuals collecting funds for
the blind, or in the name of the
blind, but never putting them
to the use for which thev are
cdllected. Most of these haye
headquarters ut of the State
and because of this situation
the Legislature ;>assed q law
last »pring requiring ever/ out
side organization or individual
soliciting funds for the blind to
be licensed by the State Com-
missicn^^ for the Blind. Doctor
Cheek urged that anyone con
fronted with any proposi\ion to
help the blind first write the
Convmisfiion for the Blind in
Raleigh to find out whether or
contact the little boy in Rocky
Mount and see what plans can
be made for him. She tated
that ‘there are three guide dogs
now being used in North Caro
lina and that the Commisson
will be glad to help any blind
person who can use a do; find
a way of securing one.
In a recent interview, the
iExecutive Secretary of the
Coi^misfiion for^lhe Blind, Dr.
Roma S. Cheek, said th%t the
Sitate ha provision for coring
for blind persons ‘ who have
^been begging. She said,, many
of these have been forced to
beg because they had no other
support but that since th^ State
complied with the Social Soeur-
ity Law, they can be given blind
aid grrants ui meet their need?.
It was also stated that they
would be given preference over
other applicants.
'Phe Executive 3ecretnry re-
inimded us that many of
the blind beggars are farmed*
out by seeing people who eap
large prc^^ts from the business.
She stated that the majority of
begipurs on the streets of North
Carolina are from out of the
State. Others the beggars are
people who have refused tc ac
cept work offered by ^e Com
mission for the Blind, or who
h«vo found Begging a really
prcfitable business.
Dr, Cheek said that the blind
people who are trying to work
fot' their living like* other peo
ple feel that the beggars make
it harder for them by suggest
ing the association of blindness
with, begging in the public
mind. They especially feel that
since th^ needs of those who
beg can be met by aid ^ants
they should Be kept from the
streets. The general blind
p^pullatioin are, the;efore,
staunch supporters of the law
which prohibits begging on the
streets. ^
This week 1,980 Aid to the
Blind checks were mailed from
the State OffTce to the coun-
tjes. The total amount of money
involved in Dec. payments is
