PACE TWO THE PRANKLfN PRESS AND THK HIGHLANDS MACON IAN THURSDAY, MAY 3, IMS MATURE FRESHMAN LEGAL ADVERTISING May, and answer or demur to the complaint of the plaintiff, or the re lief demanded in said complaint will be granted. HARLEY R. CABE, Clerk Superior Court M5 4tc M26 Home Demonstration Club News . BY MRS. T. J. O'NEIL Macon County Home Demonstration Agent MAY DAY A MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF OF THE CHILDREN'S BUREAU By KATHARINE F. LENROOT "Spied Children on the Road to Health." With this "slogan the Children's Bureau, at the request of the state and provincial health authorities of North America, spon sors the celebration of 'May Day Child Health Day for the third con secutive year. In order to determine how fam ilies, communities, schools, public and private agencies, and individuals may help to speed children on the roatl to health we must consider what are some of the pitfalls which would await children as they grow from birth through adolescence unless- necessary protection is afford ed them. First is the pitfall of birth itself. Thousands of mothers each year do not live to give birth to their babies or die when the babies are born or shortly afterwards. Better care for mothers before and at the time of birth of their babies will save the lives of many mothers, and the lives of many babies as well, since thousands of babies are born dead or do not survive the first week of infancy because their mothers have lacked good care. The .early weeks of the 'baby's life are full of pitfalls, but we know that modern science, educa tion, and community cooperation Will help to avoid them. The pit falls diminish in number as the baby grows older. The United States in 1936 lost 57 babies dur ing the first' year of life out , of every 1,000 born alive. Fifty-eight per' cent of these babies die in the first month and only two per cent in the 12th month. The baby's path is thus getting safer as he grows older. After the first year, the preschool years have been called the most dangerous age for chiudren. This is where we must redou-ble our ef forts to speed children on the road to health for the road is marked with pitfalls labeled "pneumonia," "diarrhea," "accidents," and many communicable . diseases. The years . from 6 to 16 are about the safest years for children as far as mortality rates for boys and girls are concernecj, the low est rate being reached at the age 0 10 or 11. The fine health-education work being done by the schools, the. Nation-wide safety campaigns to prevent accidents, the coopera tion of private organizations, and increased community, recognition of the needs of school-age children have done much to - make the child's road safer during this per iod of his life. Physical health must go hand in hand with mental health. The child needs a sense of security as well as physical health protection as he travels along the road of life. Par ents need a helping hand in deal ing with their children's conduct problems and in determining what is best for the child who seems, to be emotionally or mentally, as well as physically handicapped. It is for the community to provide such, help in the form of public or private agencies staffed by well-trained specialists familiar with the needs of such children. The Social Security Act, through its provisions for maternal and child-health services, crippled chil dren's services, and child-welfare services, now in operation in the States, Alaska, Hawaii, and the District of Columbia, is helping local communities to speed children on the road to health by enlisting the cooperation of all agencies, public and private, and by reaching into the remote rural areas where children have not had such protec tion in the cast. It is the privilege of the Children's Bureau to admin ister these parts of the Act as tlu agency through which the Federal Government expresses its interest in the health and welfare of the Nation's future citizens. Above all, it is the privilege of the Children's Bureau, through its research in all fields of maternal and child health and welfare and through its distribution of the facts brought out by such research, to make available to every American home understanding and knowledge about the care and guidance of child life and to increase public awareness of the needs of children and of the . cooperative endeavors by means of which these needs can best 'be met. ' i 5 ::( --sij- Vacation Work Advice By Margaret Culkin Banning "Should my child work this sum mer?" Margaret Culkin Banning, famous author asks parents whose children will soon be out of school on summer vacations. Mrs. Banning, one of America's outstanding women, and mother of two children, discusses this impor tant and highly controversial ques tion in the May issue of Woman's Day. Not seeking to lay down hard and fast rules, but rather to give some friendly advice to parents, Airs, canning proceeds to answer her own question : "The answer is yes, if the money is necessary. If the amount that a boy or girl can earn during the summer vacation is so needed that otherwise the family will be uncom fortable or suffer, theoung person should be allowed to carry his share of the load and find a job if he can. The answer is also yes in cases where the summer job is mot just a timerkiller but will increase the earning capacity and usefulness to society of a boy, or girl when he or she becomes a full-time worker. "But educators say that students need the long vacation for relaxa tion. Some psychologists say that a voting person who enters the work ing world with its disciplines and responsibilities top .early, or while he is still studying part of the year, And American parents can also re member this to their comfort: all over Europe, in China and Japan, boys are being taught at an in credibly early age to bear arms, sever family connections, encounter danger to life. Even if the healthy American boy or girl has to take on responsibilities a little sooner than we might wish, he is still lucky compared to the young people in other countries." Accompanying the article, is a list of suggestions for pin-money odd jobs, which should prove useful in helping young people select sum meroccupations.

Thanks Extended To Mr. And Mrs. Slagle The adult education teachers of Macon county wish to thank public ly, through our county paper, Mr. and Mrs. Carl S. Slagle, owners of Nonah Craft shop on Cartooge chaye, for kindness and interest shown our program in furnishing us a building free of charge jn which to hold our arts and crafts classes taught by Miss Minnie Reese, of Asheville, all of last week. We also appreciate the nice lunch served to us by Mr. and Mrs. Slagle on Wednesday. If more people in our county would show an interest in our pro gram we could accomplish so much more than we are now doing. How ever, we. feel we are helping our county by trying to train folks to be self supporting. Also to want to be better citizens. We all know an educated parent means an educated child. We have on our teaching staff at present four men and five women. This payroll brings money into Macon which is all spent in the town of Franklin. We have had very little cooperation from a majority of the people, but we have a number who are very kind and aid us in every way possible. I want to extend to the people of Macon county an invitation to attend our exhibit which is to be, held fn Asheville May 12. Please attend if possible and see for your selves just what we are trying to do in adult education. Leona P. ..Duncan, Head Teacher Adult Education, i Franklin, N. C. Farm Women Taught -To Make Mattresses Hundreds of homemade cotton mattresses, produced at a cost of only a few dollars each, are sup plying added comfort in farm homes throughout North Carolina. Miss Pauline Gordon, extension home management and house furn ishings specialist at State college, has been stressing mattress-making as an irmortant part of home dem onstration club work. "Besides adding comfort to the home," Miss Gordon said, "some of the surplus cotton is taken care of in the manufacture of these mat tresses." Miss Gordon pointed out that the ticking, thread, and buttons re quired in making a mattress at nine cents a pound, this would amount to approximately four dol lars. Adding two dollars for the materials, the total cost in the av erage case would not 'be more than six dollars. ' Several women working together can make a complete mattress in a few hours. By using such an arrangement, many families in a community can get new mattresses made easily and cheaply. Home agents in this state have lesson sheets available which con tain full directions for making mat tresses at home, LEGAL ADVERTISING NOTICE OF SUMMONS North Carolina Macon County .
