I am most grateful to you' and I am de- Ughted indeed to be with you here today. I was rery happy when Mrs. Absher asked me to tell yon about the. Child Surrey, which I hare been prlrlleged to super- rise, for In the delightful con tact with Mrs. Absher and the joy ot serrlce I hare had, 1 feel in the words of the Christmas card greeting Mrs. Absher, “Of course you’re lots of rela- tlres. But they were wished on you! Your friends don’t hare to lore you. But gracious! How they do!” It has been a glorious oppor tunity to work with your Pres ident and with your most effi cient Secretary, and these associ- aticns will constitute a rich heritage of memories which I shall endearor to share with others. It is a matter of great pride to mo that I hare had the pleasure o'; supervising the Public Wel fare Child Surrey In North Car olina under the direction of your State director and Department President. Mrs. Absher has done with skill and beauty, whatever she has undertaken. Particularly is this true in her direction of the Survey. The Department of the American Legion Auxiliary honored itself in electing Mrs. Absher its President, for she has won and will continue to win laurels for North Carolina De partment ot the American Legion Auxiliary. Thinking of her, as I have come to know her these past few months, I’m reminded of the little colored boy, who when asked how old he was, re plied. Counting by years I’se six, but counting by de tun I’se had, I’se most a hundred.” Counting by years, Mrs. Absher is un doubtedly the youngest grand- Nemar Says: You’ll enjoy those Real Lunches and Southern Meals -AT- WACCESOFCAJIYASIO^ JOBOOMS FAMOUS HORSES IDOOO SEATS-2000 CHAIRS^ 20 PERFORMING LIONS 20^ 1 rc REDUCED PRICES ^ J CHILD.-ADULTS Includes Seats 35' NO.

To report the number of cards received in our office, is to give you a Tory inadequate picture of heart-breaking conditions 'these cases represent in ^ North Caro lina. The canvassers hare oent me detailed stories of some of their findings which would melt a heart of stone. More and more I am burdened with the respon sibility that rests upon this or ganisation, and every other pa triotic and civic organisation In North Carolina, to do everything possible to alleviate the Intoler able conditions which this sur vey has revealed. A great French man once said, "The future be longs to those who shall have done most for suffering human ity!’’ The opportunity to possess the future is yours In minister ing to these children. The Public Health is the foun dation upon which rests the hap piness ot the people and the wel fare of the Nation. The care of the Public Health is the first duty of the Statesman.” In your own North Carolina State De partment President of the Amer ican Legion Auxiliary Is embedd ed the greatest ideals of true statesmanship; so when she be gan to work out a project for the welfare ot North Carolina, It was this relation between health and happiness that gave birth to the Idea of a Public Welfare Sur vey, which became a reality and the results of which have been more far reaching than can be measured, for as Ruskin says, "When love and skill work to gether, expect a master piece.’’ This Idea conceived by Mrs. Absher was approved by the Na tional and State Departments of -\merican Legion and American Legion Auxiliary, which con tributed from Child Welfare Fund, the sum of {1,500. The project also received the approv al of Mrs. Thomas O’Berry, the North Carolina State A.dministra- tor and E. R.

The Legion and Auxiliary are to be congratulated for having sponsored such a worth-while program of service. A number of other states have sent letters of Inquiry to the different State Departments, asking for the plan. You should be, and I am sure that you are, elated that North Carolina Department of American Legion and Auxiliary liave done such outstanding work and have fostered such an im mense project that the other states are following your lead. I want to commend the Legion and Auxiliary for the co-oper ation given the canvassers in your respective counties. The canvassers’ work was of a su perior type because of their in terest in Chiid Welfare, and be cause ot your co-op'-’-ction. Most of them surely r.alized what Phillips Brooks meant when he said "He who helps a child, helps humanity with an immediateness which no other help given to hu man creature in any other stage of human life can possibly give again.’’ They were paid only a small amount for their work, and yet they gave unrtenlingly and un tiringly of their time. More than 50,000 hours of voluntary serv ice have been given. All civic or ganizations, and public spirited citizens have contributed in every way possible for the suc cess of the survey. The results of the survey as compiled show the following: 1. 23,629 World War Veter ans. 2. 19,769 World War Veter an wives. 3. SJ5 World War veteran widov.s. •i. 4.260 World War Veteran orphans. 1. 26,24 4 World War Veteran children. 6. ."S blind veterans.

To take a census of handicapp ed children and then do nothing more would be only a waste of time and money. To arouse Ahe hopes and aspirations of these unfortunate children and their fond parents, and then do noth ing for them would In the words of Dr. Glenn Frank be “nothing more than an adventure In the amiable futility of unintelligent good will.’’ Have we entered the twilight of evening, or the twilight that will brighten the dawn of a hap pier day? "We are all blind until we see That In the human plan Nothing is worth the making If it does not make a man. Why build a Nation glorious If the child unbonded goes? In vain we build the city Unless the child also grows.’’ Some facilities already exist In North Carolina for serving these unfortunate children and in cas es where the facilities are avail able, we have used them as we were able. However, there are other fa cilities that should be provided. I am sure you will use your best efforts to secure social legisla tion whereby some of these fa cilities may be acquired. Aid for handicapped children should not end with physical correction. AYter medical service has done all it can to relieve and Improve their conditions, thousands of them are still handicapped. The state has provided excellent schools for blind. Blind children located through this survey have been referred to this school. The state also has an excellent school for the education and training of the deaf and dumb. Deaf and dumb children have been refer-, red to Dr. Goodwin, Superinten- ident of schools at Morganton. i ;There are a number of orthopae dic clinics in the state which are i of their cltmblDg filgite .of stain and of their aslnf the school equipment maHe tot normal boys and pirll, they deprived of their cooptitnUoinl right of, ij^or'ybnr encovesgement. -''Pm glad to tell yon thift a friend of the Auxiliary, who heeame In terested In the crippled children listed by the survey.ls at present working out a plan to establl^ a center where crippled children in.onr state may be treated.

Experience of the canvassers throughout the state have re vealed all characteristics which humanity Is capable of manifest ing. 1. Faith in what medical sci ence is doing for cripples is clearly seen in the following story related by Dr. Stanton, the superintendent of Vocational Re habilitation. “To one mother who brought a badly deformed baby into a clinic, I remarked that it must be a terrible shock to give birth to such a^defiH’^i^Pld.l htrfiiffmrM she shook her head and mUd, no she knsw the doetet’ eoiUd make It all right iMcause this was fhi an second crippled child shh ^ had ^brought to the cHnlc.^-l 8.
