C, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1930 ' NUMBER FORTY-TWO 1 A ' FREE CLINICS IN SCHOOLS Hundreds of Children of Franklin and Highlands Schools Benefitted Dr. Ernest Branch," director of the Bureau of Mouth Hygiene at Raleigh, with Dr. Pringle, dental surgeon of the public health department, held -clinics in the schools of Highlands and Franklin this week. Hundreds .of children had their mouths examined and their teeth corrected. The prdgress of the child in .school as well as the child's general health depend, in many cases, on the condition of the teeth. Dr. Branch, in "public lectures and by charts' and photographs, instructs the schools on the importance of the work and Dr. Pringle does the actual work. There are no charges for the work and parents are almost culpable who dq not see to it that their children's teeth are put in first class condition. ' In North Carolina- last year there were several thousand children who failed to make their grades and it has teen found by actual analysis of con ditions that bad . teeth was the pre dominant cause.. Some of these vdays our Boards of Education will . vote a small sum of money each year with which to lengthen out this clinic so that every 12 -o WATCH HER STEP . fn a special from Bryson City to The Citizen Mrs William Calhoun of that city in addressing the Woman's Club is reported as saying : 'That she Tiad only seen one town dirtier than Bryson City on her trip and that was . in Mexico. She is chairman of the civic department of, the Woman's CluK and asked that 20 of the strong est women in town, both mentally and financially, act with her on this committee. The work' that has been done by Mrs. Calhoun in ' the civic department has been outstanding. The past summer she visited all the smaller and less attractive places in town, and through her efforts, every one cleaned their premises ad plant ed ilowers. She was instrumental in planting 57 maple trees in the park -ways and many places were beautified by fier flowers." Franklin boasts of its wonderful yards, paved streets, good sidewalks, flower gardens and back lots minus Ae proverbial tin-can collection. See to it that nobody nods over his or ber firelock while an enemy piles up Tubbish. Do like Roy Carpenter who appoint i ed himself a committee of one to see that his side of town was kept clean. FATHER INSULTS SON BY DEMANDING WORK . The Asheville Citizen carries the following story: Claiming that his own son and his son's boy friend wreaked vengeance on him by killing his chickens and destroying all the furnishings in his home because he had demanded that they work M. E. Walker, farmer of Black. Mountain township procured warrants for the arrest of the two.1 Walker told Magistrate C. P. Kerlee, who issued the warrant that the son, Elijah Walker, and the friend, Tom Barnes, had been staying at his home. He said he asked them to do some work and upon their refusal to do so, he told them they either could work or could go elsewhere for bed and board. He said they left but returned dur ing his absence, killed all the chick ens on the place, turned the family carriage upside 'down, tore down a fence and turned hogs into the corn, and then went inside the house where they wrecked the kitchen stove, beds and other breakable furniture. It is not'-easy for one who has been in the boy-raising business to place the blame in the above story. At first glance it would seem like the son was an ungrateful .wretch and al together to blame; but do boys with real sure 'nough daddys ever turn, out that, way? (Cor.ib-'.tcd on pege eight) Oct. 26 Set For State Mission Day Sunday, Oct. 26 has been designated by the.OOO Baptist , churches of the Southern Baptist convention as State Mission Day. On this day it is ex pected that a special program will be gendered setting forth the work of State Missions and a special offering be made. Dr. Charles E. Maddry, Raleigh, general secretary of state missions of North Carolina, has arranged a very helpful and instructive program for fhe schools, of this state. The title is : ' "The Achievement of One Hun dred Years" and is a brief but vivid description of the work of the conven tion from March 26, 1830, when, it was organized in (irenville, N. C, with seven preachers and seven laymen present. From 7,500 Baptists in North Carolina in 1830 the number has grown to well over 397,000 white and 250,000 negro Baptists. It is hoped by the leaders of the denomination that a sum of $25,000 will be raised in North Carolina on this . day to help to reduce the debt and carry on the' work started..

LARGE CONGREGATION AT ASBURY CHURCH A large congregation was present' at ' Asbury church Sunday morning, hearing, 'The Cross and Adversity." Rev. Farriss read the 5th Chapter of James... "We know nothing of God's Ap1ans for other worlds, but Jesus on Calvary i forever the foun dation of the church. And there may be many texts, but only one vicarious message, Christ and Him Crucified ! Life is in turmoil, npheaval, 'distress of nations,' the darkest period in its history staring us in ''the face. Why? It is because we have not lifted Him up before men! In trouble call upon Him; it is not your cross but HIS that saves and He that bears burdens. In the wilderness, God said, 'Cast the tree in the bitter water ; and it be came sweet. 'The waters of Marah' He yill sweeten, and you have no cross of your own until you are His. You have already broken- the law, young, man; morality or even the teachings of Jesus will not save. It is a vital faith in th Blod of Christ. 'Are any merry? Rejoice. Any af flicted?' Cast His cross in the water, and life is sweet. Live in HIM now, and what the world does not behold in you will unfold like a flower when He comes again. Through every con dition, this-- is the church's hope, its complete redemption after 'cross' days are over !" - , - o Clarence S. Brown Again At Scott Griffin Hotel By special request The Press made no reference last week to the change of management at the Scott Griffin hotel, and we find it better not to know so much than to know so much that isn't so. The simple every day facts are that Clarance S. Brown of Augusta, Ga., who holds a three-year lease on the Scott Griffin and who had sub-let it to McLester Brown of Hartwell, Ga., some five months ago just returned and took the hotel back. He may be planning to lease it to someone else but at present he seems very much at home among his friends. The Scott Griffin is a good hotel and Mr. Brown is a popular hotel man. Franklin is delighted to have him back where he belongs.

Atlanta Journal. ' PORTER ASKED TO REPRESENT MACON IN BIG MOTORCADE As a bit of general information we are publishing below a letter which is self-explantory. Mr. J. A. Porter has been asked to represent Macon county in this Atlanta-Ashe-ville motorcade and those who can and will go are asked to confer with Mr. Porter. The letter follows: Asheville, N.

My dear Mr. Porter: Upon the completion, late in No vember, of the stretch of road which is now a detour between Atlanta and Asheville, the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce proposes to run a motor cade from Atlanta to Asheville and I hav undertaken to act as chair man of this motorcade for the Ashe ville Chamber of Commerce from the Georgia line to Asheville, with a Jubilee meeting at the George Van derbilt.

He was on a moving truck and step ped off backwards, being thrown to the pavement and sustaining a frac tured skull. " Mr. Nelson is at Angel Brothers' hospital and is expected to recover. Martin Praises Local Hospital Unaka, N. C, Oct. 12, 1930. Editor, Franklin Press, Franklin, N. C. Dear Editor : Since I returned home from a ten days visit in your beautiful little town, and among your fine and courteous people, I decided I would write a few lines for publication in your pa per providing yqu wish to publish same. I have often heard of Franklin and Macon county, but I have never had occasion to visit this place until 1 had to take my daughter there for an operation. Of course when one hears of a cer tain place through other people one is sure to form a mental picture of the place ' and also some opinion of the people. This I did about your town, but I am happy to say that my opinions were smashed to smitherincs when I met your people and found them to be the most courteous and obliging people I have ever met. But aside from the above mentioned assets of Franklin I consider the greatest asset of any town, county, or state is an institution where humanity can be successfully treated and cared for in the dark hours of sickness and distress. Franklin is blessecf with such an institution, known as the Angel Brothers' hospital, and it is not only the town ,of Franklin" that en- but reeoidb iJiow that every state in been operated on or treated in some way fr various ailments. y,., , I have had the opportunity , to visit many hospitals in my life and I find the Angel Brothers' hospital to be a thoroughly modern institution with ef ficient and courteous service rendered at any time. The Mayo Brothers may be supe rior, in , this 'kind of work, but I am of the Missouri type, you will have (Continued on page eight) o Judge Awtrey Goes.

Department of agriculture, has temporarily removed to Lake City, Fla., to do work . on a large number of tracts of land in connection with the validity of the titles being acquir - ed by the U. S.

Mr. Sipher, who as sists Judge Awtrey in this work, also has gone to Lake City. s)USDN GOES WHERE IT APPRECIATED!
