hearty approval of being one of the
heat of Its kind ever witnessed here.
.The program had been well arranged
and consisted of recitations, vocal and
Instrumental music, etc., and the ren

ones taking part and their Instruct

very encouraging and our people were

"BELL"
If you are able to think things will
be better when you know they won't,
then you are an optimist.
Our observation teaches that In
many Instances love is fortunate to be
blind.
North Carolina spent too much
money on fertilizer not to use the kind
suitable for their crops and soils, say
agronomy workers.
when necessary, procures milk for the
undernourished, arranges for opera
tions etc., tor the children and fami
lies of the Oteen patients who lire
near the reservation. The men with
families think this Is the bggest work
the Auxiliary has ever done, placing
this qurse there. It Is such a men
tal relief to feel that their families
will be cared for while they are In
bed.
Miss Lee then tells about the bil
lets that are being built for the or?
phans of veterans, how the Auxiliary
has bought and maintained a billet
at Otto Lake, and what a relief It Is
to an ex-service man to know that
there Is a home tor his child when
he Is gone. The Auxiliary Is asked
to stay In readiness to Investigate
cases where children who are under
the care of the Veterans Bureau, who
have guardians, and see If they are
receiving the proper care. She then
goes Into detail about the poppy pro.
gram and she wants each unit to be
sure It Is getting the poppy made by
the patients In hospitals. The official
poppy which is marked with a tiny
tag on which is wrtSen "American
Legion and American Legion Auxll
ary." Thd veterans who make the*
popples receive a penny a pinch for
each poppy and the proceeds from
the sale of them la used for some
form of welfare work among veterans.
This buying and wearing poppies is a
wonderful thing and she wants us to
be sure and buy the official poppy.
She also >peaks of Amercianlsm

HOSPITAL OASES
Found At Clinic Last Thursday
I?ui Probably That Many Children
Will Be Made Normal; Eighteen
Tonthul Training Cum; drat
The Orthopaedic Clinic held In
Louiaburg on Thursday ot last week
was a big success from every^ stand
point, according to the comments ot
Supt. E. C. Perry ot the County Wel
fare Department, who aaya there
were sixty odd cases, presented for
examination and disposition. Of this
number there were seventeen white
and six colored hospital cases, fire
white for treatment, six white and
?event colored with no recommends,
tlon and one white case that was
classes as hopeless. Quite a number
made application immediately for
hospital treatment qpd since that
time several have gone to the hospital
for the necessary treatment
It was a most touching scene to
see so many children crippled or de
formed, who until a few years ago
had absolutely no hope for the op
portunity ot a broader life that it
might become a useful and success
ful citizen. But it was also encourag
ing to know that assurances of com
plete" recovery was held out for the
majority of those present at this clin
ic.
In^ addition there were eighteen
who were recommended for vocation
al Instruction, which will serve to
lighten their deformities by placing
them in a more independent position
in life by being able to pro fide for
themseJrea.
The clinic wag under the direct
charge ot Dr. O. L. Miller, orthopae
dic expert, of Gastonia, assisted by
Dr. Hugh Thompson, of Raleigh, Miss
Emlth Tuttle and Mrs- ?? ?. Davis,
of the State Department of Charities
,and Public Welfare, Mr. H. L. Stan
jton, of the Vocational Education De
partment, and Lt. Lawrence Oxley,
I rolored, State Colored Welfare Offi
cer.
Supt. Perry was elaborate in his
expressions of appreciation to Ur. A.
expressions of appreciation to Dr. A.
H. Fleming for the use of his offices
and equipment and his cooperation,
to the Masons for the use ot the Ma
sonic Hall, to the doctors bf the Coun
ty for their cooperation in making
the clinic the success it was and to
the ladlea ot the Womans Club for
their assistance and for the nice
lunch, served to the patients while
waiting.
The only regret expressed by Supt
Perry, waa that there were a tew
others in the county who should have
attended but for some unknown rea
son failed to get the benefits offered
them.
The holding the clinic in Louiaburg
has had quite a good influence upon
many ot our people in the necessity
and the great opportunity for the
work that waa demonstrated here
Thursday. It has built a better and
more wholesome feeling for the work
ot the Department of Charities and
Public Welfare in the minds and life
of lots of us.
