bury: February 10, Charlotte.
"Dr. Parker, who was formerly sc. -rotary
of the T'nlted States Interde
partmental Social Hygiene Board, has
had long experience hi social work ."
reads the announcement. "She has not
been in regular medical practice since
her marriage in lOOTi. In 11)13, she
was appointed the lirst woman proba
tion officer in her home town. Green
wich, Conn. The following year, she
became Held secretary of the Connec
ticut Social Hygiene Association, and
continued to work for this organiza
tion until 1010, when she joined the
staff of the American Social Hygiene
Association.
"From 1010 to 1021. she directed the
social hygiene work of the National
League of Women Voters. She still
directs this work In the National Con
gress of Mothers and Parent Teachers
Associations and also the Social Moral
ity of the National Woman's Christian

"In addition to her lecture and edu

babies, and during, Ibe war. she was
appointed under the Connecticut Stale
Council of Defense supervisor of a

a part of fhe state police force and
acted as law-enforcement and protect
ive agents.
"In June 1021. Dr. Parker was ap
pointed to succeed Dr. Thomas A. Stor
ey as executive head of the Govern
ment Social Hygiene Hoard. The
work of this hoard was restricted to
areas near some army post or naval
station, that is. places likely to be
frequented by soldiers and sailors on

a clean army and navy did its utmost
through the board to protect men In
the service from evil conditions in

stationed.

Rumors of a sensational nature
have been going the rounds for some
days culminating in the arrest of
Archie Palmer, of Albemarle, on a
chaise of manslaughter and for driv
ing an automobile while Intoxicated.
Palmer is mil under a .S.'i.iKHl bund
pending the preliminary hearing,
which, it is understood, has ls-en set
for January .'11. The evidence upon
which the State bases its charge has

It is understood, however, thill wit

None of the young men in the wreck-

Palmer is a young man ami a son
