BROADEN THE SCOPE OF NEGRO WELFARE A committee in Southern Pines has inaugurated some thing that might well be carried out by all towns in the county. A group of citizens recently or ganized for Negro Welfare, and though their work is primarily to benefit the colored population, it is going to prove of inestima ble value to all citizens. For con ditions are being discovered which affect, directly or indirect ly, the health of all. A building was secured in West Southern Pines to be used for health clinics conducted once a month by Dr. Symington, the county’s health officer, and oc casionally by the county nurse. These clinics are being held reg ularly now% and are well attend, ed. Physical tests are revealing a condition along the colored population which needs remedial measures, and these measures are being taken. It is now a State law' that all domestic servants must be ex amined for venereal di.seases or other communicatives physical ailments. The State Health De partment cannot carry out the enforcement of this law without the aid of local agencies. In Southern Pines the agency thus far is the Negro Welfare Com mittee, and the need for the work it is doing has already been only too startlingly revealed. Nurses taking care of children have been found to be wholly un fit for such close association with their charges; cooks and housemaids similarly unfit. This is not a condition which can be permitted to continue in an ad vanced and advancing commun ity. Nor is this medical work all that the committee is doing. It is building up the young by pro moting sports of a healthy kind —tennis, volley ball, etc. Tt is providing reading matter for young and old—the reading room in the clinic building is proving popular with the colored folks. It is making its building otherwise available for commun ity gatherings, church events, parties, meetings. It is proposed to have the County Demonstra tion Agent meet there with the women and give them advice on food preparation, home-making, sanitation, etc. All this has been done, and is being done, in Southern Pines at small cost. The city authorities provided a building; funds are donated; the services of the county physician, nurse and demonstration agent are part of their regular woi'k. If citizens in other towns of the county will organize similar committees, get together a little money, beg, bor- roAV, or steal if necessary, a small building, then call in the health authorities to cooperate, Moore county can soon be rid ol a dangerous condition among a large proportion of its popula tion.

On Sunday in Southern Pines we saw cars from Alabama, Florida,, Georgia, New Jeifsiey, New York Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Texas, Sixty-five North Carolina counties now provide full-time health service. Moore is one of these. The other day Sam Richardson left his car parked on a slight in cline in front of the Men’s Club in Southern Pines. While inside con versing with "Buck” Tarlton he heard a crash, dashed to the door and saw his vehicle neatly parked in the al- lej'way that runs alongside Dr. L. M. Daniels’ office. This parkway, two feet below the road level, is not more than a foot wider than a car; yet, describing a 50 percent arc from its original parking space, the car had planted itself within this narrow pas sageway, unscathed. It took Chan Page’s wrecker to lift it out. mote the interests of the towTi; in born sense of gallantry which will not permit him to see an elderly wo man so engaged without lending a helping hand; the attraction of being in the presence of a lovely young lady manager who believes in keep ing things spick and span; a desire to get some benefciial wrist exercise. In the Taylortown section of Moore county is a church that would take the prize for the length of its name. It is the Spaulding Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. CARTHAGE One thousand, one hundred and I four more babies were born in North | Carolina the first six months of 1937 than during the first half of 1935, a sign of returning prosperity. North Carolina also shows a declin ing death rate. OUR NEW RESPONSIBILITY North Carolina’s national ad vertising campaign has begun. As a section of the state deeply dependent upon the attraction of outsiders, the Sandhills has a vi tal interest in this campaign. The Pilot believes it is off to a good start. Lest some of our readers* may have missed the first of a series of advertise ments which appeared in our is sue of last week, we repeat it editorially for your information and guidance: “Pursuant to a special act of the 1937 State Legislature, ad vertisements will shortly begin to appear in national magazines and metropolitan newspapers of the East, Middle West and South inviting visitors and tourists to North Carolina, “THE VARIE TY VACATIONLAND.” These A large portrait of Dr. L. B. Mc- Brayer appears on the cover of the July issue of The Health Bulletin, published monthly by the North Car olina State Board of Health. Beneath the cut reads: “For twenty-one years, until his voluntary retirement in April on ac count of ill health, Dr. McBrayer was Executive Secretary of the Med ical Society of the State of North Carolina. From 1914 until 1923 he was Superintendent of the State Sanator ium for Tuberculosis. The Sanator ium being under the sapervision of the State Board of Health at the time, he was thus Director of the Division of Tuberculosis and a mem ber of the staff of the State Board of Health. His wide knowledge of public health problems has been largely responsible for the sympathet ic and harmounious cooperation exist ing between the State Board of Health and the State Medical Society. “We take pleasure in paying this tribute to his devoted service in the public interests. May his remaining years be happy ones.” William Duncan Smith, prominent member of the Board of Aldermen of the Town of Vass, was observed help ing w£ish a store window on the main business block in Vass Monday after noon—and liking it.

Editor, The Pilot: The question of packing the Su preme Court transcends all State as well as party lines. I therefore take the liberty of addressing the citizens of your community through your col umns. The question is the most crit ical since the Civil VV’ar. It has nov; been stripped of all camouflage. It has emerged clearly as a ques tion of principle, a principle lying at the foundation of all free govern ments. It is: Shall the Courts be in dependent in their decisions and so able to render impartial justice to all or shall they be made subservient to the Congress and President, or, a.? well may happen with a President granted unusual powers, to the Pres ident alone? With independent courts, liberty may be maintained. With courts dependent on the will of one man, liberty dies. The choice yet remains in the hands of the people but it may not remain there long. The Senate alone stands between us and the betrayal of the courts, but the vote is close. Ten or so Senators, perhaps even tually one or two can decide the is sue. I beg every interested citizen and reader to write to these undecided Senators and urge them to vote against any compromise plan. The ad dition of one judge is as bad as six, because it creates the precedent that the decisions of the Court can be al tered by packing it. The administra tion has practically admitted that that is the only reason for adding any judges at all. In your own State you can do your part by writing to Senators J. W. Bailey and Robert R. Reynolds and urging them anew to stand againr.t any compromise. The people have not been allowed to make themselves heard on this matter either at the polls or in discussion of an amend ment. The only place now we can b.- heard is in the Senate, and any delay in making ourselves heard there may quickly prove fatal. Again I urge, wTite or wire at once. Faithfully yours, —JAMES TRUSLOW ADAMS. B. L. CHURCHILL ELECTED TOWNSEND CLUB HE.AD At a meeting of Townsend Club No. 1 of Southern Pines, held at C. L.
