HARDIN, J County Health Officer. - i "THE CLINIC IN x ' ROBESON COUNTY M. MONTE. PROGRAM FOR! FARM CONVENTION What They Mean to the School Chil dnm and Parents. Several thousand school children have been examined by the Health Officer since the Whol Time Health Work be?sn in Robeson county. The results of these examinations po to show that about 15 per cent of all the children are in real need of an operation, for removal of their ton sils and adenoids. Thousands of the school children in the county were found to have defective teeth, defec tive vision, hearing, and hookworm disease. A series of dental clinics have already been held in Robeson in which more than 1400 children had their teeth or prums treated. In -the tonsil and adenoid clinic conducted at the Lumbertort Hifch school building on August 9th, 10th, and 11th, 57 children had their tonsils ftnd adenoids removed. Thus the school children in Robeson county have not onlv had 'the advantage -of frep medical examination, but many of them hav been treated for their defects, by the State and county Health Departments. This work has been brought to the people, and pa rents have been given a practical demonstration, of its necessity, and what it means to the future welfare of their children. The savng in money to th parents means much, but it is not to be compared tWith the educational value of this work, and what it mean? to the children of Robe son county. The children operated on in the tonsil and adenoid clinic and those treated in the dental clinic in 1918, came from all sections of the county. In thJs way some children hav been reached in all parts of the county, and all parents given an ob ject lesson, in the necessity of reme dying such defects, and the great results therefrom. The tonsil and adenoid clinic will prove to narents that th operation is not a thing to be dreaded ag they had always thought. Moreover the wonderful physical and mental im provement of the children that have been operated on and their progress in school, will impress other parents in then communities with thp great necessity of the operation. ' It is the hope of the Health De partment that the work of these clinics will be the means of influenc ing the parents of Robeson County to have their children treated for these crippling defects, while they arP young, and give them a healthy body and mind that they mavhave a fair chance in the game of life. E. R. HARDIN, Health Officer. Once upon a time a gentleman, with a Napoleonic cast of countenance idled away a considerable . number of sh'ning hours on a front porch and became President. And so, Republican cocob have becom possessed of idea that Presidential lightning is more than apt to strike one behind the kud zu vines, and also that history re peats itself, and an assortment of like myths. Now, as an appendix or a preface, or even side, whiskers, to a house, porches are excellent things, but as spring hoards to the Pres'dency, there is nothing to it. We have occupied" thes,, points of vantage, presented in a variety of patterns, verandas, piazzas, porches and mere stoops, but on the day after an election, we discovered that we were not mentioned among the win ners. Hereafter when we start for the White House, we shall all in with the procession and start some thing. After the valuable experience recounted, 't may be safely stated that We do not think a great deal of the prospect of Mr. Harding being besieged by the suffragettes in Wash ington, D. C. j We do not know just where a can-' didate's solar plexus is situated, but wherever it may bp ensconsed about Mr. Harding, it seems to ug that Jimmie Cox has hit it, with a few hooks and uppercuts on the jaw thrown n for good measure. I The great and glorious, and what. not order of "picnickers" are much annoyed and soforth because Lum berton has such a numerous number of voters all registered and ready to kerflumux - and otherwise mistreat imaginary county lines. It's sad, but the worst is yet to come, there will' be more of them as the days go by, and folks move in. Rains, we are told, have not dam aged crops appreciably, but what we would like to know, have they been numerous and wet enough to put out! the flames which lit up and melted' the collar buttons on that gay and festive gentleman who would limit the pulpit in its choice of texts. Was j that frrst great and raucus effort' like the arrow of the flying Parthian, his last and best?
