A RECORD OF WHICH
TO BE PROUD
The first and only local show
ing of Grand Illusion, at Pine-
hurst Saturday night, marks
the first time the Moore Coun
ty Maternity Welfare Commit
tee approaches the public in an
appeal for funds. During the
past year the calls on the Com
mittee’s funds have increased
tremendously. The attendance
at the prenatal clinics has grown
until there were 489 mothers
recorded last year. The demand
on the loan closet has grown as
well, as have the doctors’ pre
scriptions and the food for un
dernourished mothers and ba
bies. The training course for
mid-wives has added compara
lively little / to expenses, but
with this organization every
penny is counted.
In the budget for 1939 the
above items will become still
larger and there may be a few
new ones added. For one thing,
the Committee hopes to be able
to supplement the very low fees
paid by the County to doctors
for delivery for indigent moth
ers.
The public could find no
cause more sympathetic or more
worthy of support than this
one. It must be close to the
heart of every one. That the or
ganization which sponsors it is
doing so intelligently and effi
ciently is demonstrated by the
splendid results they have al
ready attained. Let us look at
the record!
Trainintr of a publiV hpalth
nurse in I.obensstine’s Midwiferv
Clinic, New Yovk. find her o,«t?b-
lishment as Nur.'^e-midvvife in
charge of that Welfare ^Vork in
Moore County: six Prenatal
clinics a month : 489 mothers at
tended clinics; eleven hospitali-
za^^ions; course of trainine for
midwives; loan closet maintain
ed: layettes and bassinets for
eighty-five babies made.
Comparine 19.^5 ^no matern
ity w'ork) wnth 1938: In 1935;
no clinics, eight deaths, (1 to
46 birthsV In 1938: six clinics,
five deaths—only tw'o amonp:
clinic mothers, and both these
before February, when the
Nurse-Mid-wife took charge in
the county.
Six hundred births in 1938—
four hundred and eighty-nine
mothers.
There is a long road ahead,
but this organization, aiding the
Countv Health Office program,
has laken in Moore County the
first steps towards their goal:
that of taking North Carolina
from her position near the bot
tom of the list of states in mar
temity health and placing her
at the top.

MR. CLEGG SAYS
HE’S FOR TEACHERS
Moore’s representative in the
Legislature, W. R. Clegg of Car
thage, says “it ain’t so” that he’s
agin the teachers, and calls upon
the printed record of proceed
ings to prove it to those doubt
ing ones. In a letter to The Pi
lot Mr. Clegg says:
“Please be advised that I have
always consistently supported
every measure looking toward
the lowering of the pupil load
per teacher, raising of teachers’
s&laries, raising the standards
of the schools, and increasing
the grades. The House Journal
of the Legislature of 1935 and
1939 carries every roll call vote
in the records and this state
ment can be verified therefrom
by anyone enough interested to
check them.
“And I pledge my continued
support.”
Mr. Clegg was reported re
cently as having said to Ral
eigh newspaper correspondents:
“Teaching is the easiest thing
a man can do. A real honest-to-
God man ought to be ashamed
to sign a teacher pay roll.”

pre.ssod her thanks to the wor
ers and her pleasure and grat*
tude for this splendid achieve
ment. Nearly $1,000 came in
from the smaller units; an eve.i-
ing party at the Communit,\
House netted $50 and small
sums came from some of the
colored friends interested in the
hospital, showing the widespread
and general interest in the wel
fare of that organization. Pine
hurst, naturally, having the
largest number of workers, rais
ed the largest sum.
From a social standpoint, the
amazing ingenuity which has
been shown in the varied types
of entertainment in the many
parties has been a matter of sur
prise and\ pleasure. We are more
or less trained now to expect
anything and always a treat
of some kind, so that if, another
year, this same kind of benefit
should be tried we shall be
ready and eager to drop our
dollar bills in any bowl or bas
ket presented, knowing we shall
get our money’s worth of pleas
ure and help the cause that is of
such vital importance in our
community.
