wanted t" thank the Society tor
“my happy home and wonderful
■ parents " The Society had given
‘ him the "p. mise of a future"
three demdo ago. Now he had
I that future.
1 In the years following, industry
and i.f.rii ulture were developed
in N i’. (,. lina Roads and
• [ conimunic at ions were improved
1 Economic progress brought ex
1 tra interest in the work uf the So
ciety A home was bought in
Greensboro where children were
brought to await adoption.
Dhen they were ill. a staff of
Greensboro doctors gave their ser
vices freely. When the Receiving
Home was to small to accommo
date all the youngsters, the child -
len "spilled over" into the homes
of Greensboro residents who were
friend- of the Society.
Today the Children's Home So
ciety offers a service very differ
ent from the service in 1904. There
is counseling and guidance, first
foi the relatives of every baby
being considered for adoption. The
baby has a safe place to wait
while final decisions are being
made Medical care and legal ser
vices are available for each one.
For the older child, the Society
has a program in which it helps
transfer the child from the orph
: .mage to a homi of its own. There
! is a caseworker to help while the
child make the change from the)
orphanage and the people he has11
known to a new home with
strangers he hopes someday to
love as “mom and dad
The annual Christmas appeal
for funds is now underway
j through North Carolina. A grow
! ing membership is needed by the
; Society to carry on their vital
j work of giving help to some 400
1 babies and small children annual
ly. Average cost for the care of a
1 baby is $3.60 a day. Voluntary
'contributions have to pay for this
■promise of a future" for some
homeless child Any contributions

Washington—Autonomy arid in
dustry are marching forward to
! gether in Puert- Rico.
Now in its second year of Unit
ed States Commonwealth status
the crowded Caribbean island has
raised employment 25 per cent in
the Iasi decade National income
has doubled, and per capita in
; come is up 70 per cent. More than
150 newly established plants turn
lout textiles, toys, lenses, shoes,
Christmas-tree ornaments and
many other products.
With a population density
matching that of New Jersey,
Puerto Rico has lung beer, plagued
with unemployment, says the Na
tional Geographic Society. Lack
of arable land and natural re
sources has further handicapped
its economy The island produces
only half its food requirements.
Puerto Rico is the eastern an
chor of the Greater Antilles chain
of West Indies islands. Its 2,250,
000 inhabitants are squeezed into
3,435 square miles. Among Ameri
can states and territories, only
Rhode Island has more persons
per sqnaue mile.
The island's precious soil is in
tensively cultivated from the
shores t<? the summits of its 4,000
foot-high mountains. Sugarcane
is the major crop, sugar produc
tion averaging about one million
tons annually. Before new busi
m-.-ses came in from the mainland,
four major industries—sug ,r pro
cessing, needlework, tobacco, and
rum—accounted for 75 per cent
of manufacturing employment.
Puerto Ricos populating has
doubled since 139b, the year Spain
relinquished its four centuries of
rule to the United States. Spanish
is the language of the people, but
English is common in husinss and
government.
In 1917, territorial status
brought U. S. citizenship to Puer
to Ricans. On July 25, 1952, the
| island became a self-governing
1 Commonwealth. A new copstitu
I tion, approved by the U. S. Con
gress and President, put the 100
( mile-lung island'; internal affairs
completely in the hands of its
elected lawmakers. The way is
left open for Puerto Rico to he
roine a state in the Union Uiter if
it desires.
Puerto Rico means “rich port"
It is the only land under the Am
erican flag oo which Columbus sel
foot. Landing there on Novembei
19, 1493, during his second voyage
; he claimed it for Spain.
San Juan, the capital, is the
oldest city in the new world un
-Uer the Stars and Stripes. It wa;
: established in 1510, a half een
tury before St Augustine, Florida
With a 1950 population of 224,767
it is second only to Havana among
Caribbean cities. The island';
(Greensboro, North Carolina.
Since it was founded the So
ciety has handled the adoption ol
fifty-nine babies from Martir
County, a number of them having
t been charges of the Home foi
