HELP IN HEALTH I Whether or not Cleveland county will get a social security nurse and begin at the first of the year a county-wide public health program depends largely on the action of the Cleveland Medical society which will convene on December 14, says the health board. Dr. G. M. Cooper of the state board of health says the state will pay for one-half the salary and ex pense of such a nurse, if the county and city will pay for the other half, and if the local medical society will agree to assist with a certain amount of clinical work. .

BISHOP WARNS ENGLISH KING LONDON, Dec. 1.—(JP) — The Bishop of Bradford warned King Edward VIII today that he needs the grace of Ood as much as any of his subjects, in a thinly veiled public criticism of the king's pri vate life. "We hope he is aware of his need," Dr. A. W. P. Blunt said, concluding his address to the Bradford Cioce san conference. "Some of us wish he gave more positive signs of such awareness.” It was the first time a bishop ol the Church of England had public ly mentioned King Edward’s per sonal affairs. (Reports have been current for some time that high clergymen were disturbed over the king’s friendship for Mrs. Wallis Simp son). Dr. Blunt saved his electrifying remark for the close of his speech in which he took the Bishop ol Birmingham severely to task for suggesting that the religious cere mony in connection with the coro nation be curtailed. A British news service in report ing the bishop’s address appended a note to editors saying they could publish Dr. Blunt’s concluding re marks or omit them as they wished. "His personal views and opinion are his own.” the bishop said “and he has the right of all of us to be the keeper of his private conscience. "But in his public capacity at his coronation, he stands for the English peoples’ idea of kingship. "It has for long centuries been, and I hope still is, an essential part of that idea that the king needs the grace of God for his office. "Whatever it may mean to thee individual who is crowned, to the people as a whole it means theii dedication of the English monarchy to the care of God.” Is Drowned NEW BERN, Dec. 1.—</P)—Jact Jackson, 45, slipped from a wharl in trying to step t o a boat anc drowned.
