MjaSSBM NEWS lND OBSERVER, RALEIGH, N. C, SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 20, 192T. SPREADS HEAtTH GOSPELIN DIXIE Tuberculosis Clinician Gets Surprise in Edgecombe Negro Church "Way doa Bouta ! fit Ual eottaaWay dowa aeah health alat forfottta. Com away, to away, eon away e Dixieland." All of a sudea this bunt of tonf cams from tho pulpit of a little chorea ia Edgeeonbt eounty. I)r. 8pruill, Tubercnlosis Clinician for tht North Carolina Tuborealoiia Association, who wn littint ia th congregation, waa startled. Hh bar thought , the long prayer waa itill "going on" and rather shsm facedly rained hia head, Bur enough, the prayer wai. to all appcaraacec, till goin on. Parson Brown had merely had an inspiration for song. He repeated the line . and Or. Spruill realized that the Parson must be getting to the topic which he had requested be discussed at the morning. ..service. At order to hear the Parson on this subject he had attended church that morning. "Well," thought Dr. Spruill, "he hat chosen a novel but sure way to get their attention.'' "Health aow health what is dis her health e all heah so much 80001," continued Parson Brown "Bet yer don't know. 'Wei, I'm heah ter tell yer. Health tells yer how you all is feelin an if any o yoa puasons in dis heah congrcjra tioa want to And out how you-all is feelin' yoa jes take yerself ter the health elinie. They's a splendid pertunity for everybody ter hare a chest lamination 'a I urge you-all brethren, to take 'vantage 'a And out jest how you all is feelin'. This here Doctor, aittin in our midst, has made active enunciation that he will tell yon this. Now be present one and all ia de ecboolhouse to arrow." . . Dr. BprullI was surftiaed, to ear the least, at this straage interpola tion in the parson's loifjpraycr. Ha and a nurse had eome the day be for to this community to hold a tuberculosis elinic. They had tact fully suggested to the parson, who, by the way, had been found resting bis own and his mules wesry bones at the plow in the corufied, that he urge his congregation to attend the tuberculosis clinie. He was scarcely prepared for th form of announce eat h had just heard. Th Beit day, however, he found that th method of announcement had been superlatively effective. So m.iny persons flocked to the litth old echoolhouse that tho doctor and the nurses had to send half of them away with the message to return on the following day. Parson Brown, the efficient janitor of the school house on week days, brought his rev erend family, consisting .of wife and tiz pickaniunies. Tlicy were the first to be eiamined. Two of the little gifl were fgusd. to have native tu berculosis. One out of 'every five examined on the first day was found to have tuberculosis in sn active state. Several rases were found who hid been closely exposed to tubercu losis. All of these could not be found, since many of the children could not give accurate histories of their families. The people of the congregation took most kindly to the work of the clinic They listened attentively to the rules of health and the precau tiona given by the nurse and doc tor. The majority could not read, so pamphlets were of little use in this community. The personal eoa taet, made by individual advice, how ever, had more influence and meant more to these people. Big and little ulss were aa enthusiastic over get ting health as children are ever a new toy. The North Carolina Tuberculosis Association established this elinie. Whether the clinics are held in a crowded eity or in a remote settle ment, they are uncovering early cases of tuberculosis and teaching persons how to live healthy live. Ia crder to enlarge and eitand this vork, more doctors and nurses arc reeded, and for this reason the leurtoen'-h Annual Christmas Peal Bale will be held in December Everybody who buy or sells Seals will aid not only in this but in uany other ways to cure and prevent tuberculoma.

Re sponding to aa urgent appeal from Herbert lloover that Southern Hsp tists and in ths relief of Russia by furniahing feud and chithlns; to the suirermg Baptws'-of that rountry, Dr. J. r Love, secretary of the For eign Missionary Hoard of the .South ern Baptist convention, announces ths board has st in motion niachi ncry that he hopes will result in the provision of a sluplnsd of clothing for tho suffering Russian Baptists withm the neat few weeks by the local churrhes of th South. The American Relief Administration will transport the clothing without cost and will furnish food from its sup plies st actual cost. It has been impossible heretofore for the Baptists of America to get into contact with their spiritual kinsmsa of Russia, of whom there were 1,000.000 at ths outset of the war, but the decision of Southern Baptists to eater Russia aa a miasioa field has heightened the interest of the local chucrhea of this section in the welfare of all the Russian peo ple. Last winter Southern Baptists At 1100,00 worth of clothing and a s.milur amouul in cash to the suf fering families of Huugary, a new mission field, and inasmuch as the number of people afiVted and th intensity of the ouffering are much greater in Kusin than they ever were in Hungary and ether countries of Central Europe, Secretary Love hopes the response of Southern Bap tists to the appeal of Russia will be correspondingly larger. Due to the agreement at the outset f the 75 Million Canipuiga that no special TolU'ctions would l con- lucted during the life of the cam paign for objects not included there in, the Foreign Mission Board will not m-ke an appeal for cash for re lief wnrk, hut if ind'v duals and churches deire of their own volition to mutae ra.li offerings the board- ill gladly rceene the furiils and rurch,te fond s'ippties for starving Hum..

Ths link to be hard sur faced is a littles more than three miles in length and will be the first hard surface road built in Robeson county outside the incorporated towns. Much of the work will be done with convict labor. More than 3'Kt Lumberton citizens are qunlitied auto drivers. At least that number have paid the (3 driv er's license levied by the town fathers. Of this number leas than 25 are ladies, which would indi cate that many ladies who have heretofore besa driving oars wQI not drive in ths future. Besides paying the 15 license all who get permits to drive must get two per sona to sign a statement to the ef feet that they know the person ap plying to be of good character and eajjable of driving as automobile. The collection of the license waa held up for several months pending injunction brought by citizens of the town. Judge J H. Kerr, be fore whom the case was argued, ren dered a derision in favor of the cTtiiens. The town fathers ap pealed to the Supreme court, which reversed Judge Kerr's decisis snd declared the ordinance valid.

This improvement is marked not only on the main roads connecting the state highway communion pro jects for hard surface road eon struction through the State, but on 'feeders as well that extend into the remote localities making many localities heretofore almost com pletely isolated during most of the year accessible at any time. Decidedly one of the most note b!e piecea of road construction put through in Fender during recent months is that of grading through "Still Bluff causeway," on Blac river, a atandard "embankment highway" that assures a good road at any stage of the flood waters of the Black and Cape Fear rivers that have through all the years passen made this crossing not only difficult and dangerous but during a large part of the fall and winter seasons especially, really impossible in spite of a substantial steel bridge over the river proper erected a number of years ato. B. F. Keith is just now completing the construction of this graded highway through the Black river swamo nearly a mile to the etcel bridge and his friends and neigh bors rs preparing for a big bar becue and basket picnic celebration of its completion on Thanksgiving l)av. this fins niece of road to be known hereafter ss 'Keith's Cross ing." It's within a stone's thrcrw of Mr. Keith's splendid country home and hie fine Black river farm on either aide of it. He has striven to have this work undertaken for many years, many of his neigh bors even insisting that it was impossible. At last he induced the county authorities to authorize the work, and contractors generally being chary of the undertaking, took the contract himself and has pushed it steadily all through the suring and summer until it is now practically completed, affordugj a 22 zoos roau euriac wu m walled embankment thrown up right throuiih the ewamp oa the old raiiseway-roadbed that used-te be as much of the time nothing more man a vaat volume of water with the causeway outlined by Jogs, trees and stumps.

I'nder tho picture was the inscription to the effect that the readier might well aasuuis that it was a view of a big body of water taken from a boat, but that it waa really a ruad, the view being taken with kodak through the windshield of the Ford car in which he was traveling from Wilmington to ses this bee yard whe-rs recently probably the biggest and most successful trans ference of bees from old gum hives to the standard hives sver pulied off in this country had been put through under the direction of Stat Bee hpecialiat C.

The transforming of this terrihle rtretch of nearly a miie of old cause wav into a splendid roadbed haj been accomplished by Mr. Keith with ths help of the big dredge that some years ago was used in cutting thr great Lyon's swamp drainags 'canals t transformer many thousands of swamp waste lamia into trie richest farm lands for corn snd other farm irops to be found snywhere in the trtate,. With thvs dredge Mr. Keith rut aa eleven foot canaJ along: le the proposed roadbed, lifting the marl, sand and other material into place where it seems to be sohd:fy mg most satisfart.rily.

Less then 21 hours after Mr. Brim ley had thus spoken, Colonel Olds was sitting besides his friend, Mayor E. R.
