The auditorium, which seats about one thousand, was to a large extent filled with pupils. Some 25 or 30 parents were present to witness the opening. ' Prof. Hen ry, the principal, called on Rev. C.

PLEMMONS FAMILY REUNION TWO BROTHERS HAVE FORTY FIVE CHILDREN The largest family reunion i the publisher of thisjaper ever attended was that Sundav. Sentember 4. 1927. on the road leading through Spring4 Plemmons of Asheville, Following Creek from Hot Springs to IkJwnJth f!ner vnl selections were -in-k. "fNndred by the Spring Creek male The gathering was on the mountain . about two miles, above the Luck nntofflA at TTannsfi Snrlnff. Ana that nowld biJaarteto wait.. iaA'4ilW'l If- bundant supply of almost' k'e-cold wa ter. At announced in the papers, the people gathered about eleven o' clock Sunday morning. Every fam ily was supposed to bring dinner and at the right time there was spread on cloths on the side of the mountain, an abundance of food consisting of fried chicken, lamb, beef, bread, rolls, slaw, salad, cakes, pies, custards, pickles, water melons, lemonade, etc. We had expected to see 25 or 30 peo ple, possibly 50, but to our surprise the side of the mountain was partly covered with people. We would es timate the crowd to number about three or four hundred. At about e- leven o'clock quite a number were seated on tne grass while as many more stood around, while various members' of the family and others apoke. The first speaker was Esquire Jasper Ebbs, who was connected with the Plemmons family. He spoke for some timet going into the history of theTlemmons family from the time the great-grandfather of some of the f older ones there then first aettled In that part of tful County. He told of y the 'hardships ' they underwent,' their poor opportunities1 for an education, , and , how tEey struggled on to "bring up their, families always standing for the best interests of the. community. It was brought oufr&y more than one speaker that not amy of the neounons family had ever been , convicted of 'fserioas crime In the County and one ; speaker offered ten dollars If someone wonld name a Plemmons who -r had ; ever served on the chain-gang. And ; this fact is not due to barrenness on the part of the Plemmons family. Oh the1 other hand they have obeyed the Injunction, s'Be;f ruitfnl and replen t.ish the earth". IWheri one looked, at ' the crowd present and understood that at y least? three-fourths of the . number J,were eitherjPlemniohses or ;' connects In' me way either 'by , :r mood or marriage to the Plemmons " family.: The productivity of the f am 3' fly was further emphasised when Mr. -1 Joe " Plemmons,' postmaster at Luck f T for 82 years, stood part of his sans in a row and announced that he was . I i the father ; of - 21 t cljfldren having ; been married twice,' , and that ' his brother was the father of 24 children a wwii i iv cnuoren ior ine two'meiM'iift- $t.V:?:y) When Mr. Ebbs had finished speak inr, he called on Editor Story of the News-Reeord, who, been. Invit'ed to a i t e n d. After expatiat ing on the beauties of the mountains especially in that section of Madison County and felicitating with the Plem mons family on their jroad record as related by Mr.'b)w demon strated by the aidaw, a few re mark were made on 'the value and making of a name in the world, the meaning of a home and family and three words closely akin' to' these--Love, Courtship Marriage, stressing particularly , the; importance of care and wisdom and deliberation in en tering the marriage relationshipp the beginnnig of a home 'and family the bulwark of society. Following this, different members of the Plemmons family were called on to speak and it was soon found that the Plemmons people are justly proud of their name and that they are not embarrassed when called on to speak in public. , Good speeches were made by Messrs. Malley Plem mons, T. L. Plemmons, Joe Plemmons John P. Plemmons, W. B. Plemmoirt J. C. ftCogdill (connected by maiw riage) Solomon Plemmons, and J. Tv Plemmons.; .One of the important matters mentioned by the speakers isj the building of a road across Doggett Mountain. This seems to be an as sured road at some time in the fu ture, but the people are anxious to 'see it hastened. ' By this time it was considerably past one o'clock and the dinner was spread, which all enjoyed. One of the attractive features of the dinner was a beautifully ornamental cake on which were the words: "Plemmons Reunion, Sept. 6, 1927," which was designed and made by Mrs. Millard quartette, composed of Messrs. Yen son Plemmons, Monroe Webb, Edgar iJusaae,-ad Btdlf,.b4Hhw attended were Mr.. John P, Plemmons of Marion, N. C, Mrs. Laura Haney, of Greenville, S. C, and Mrs. Cinthia Reese of Greenville, .

Thejirinary object of the work Is to trytto hsve every child to thorough lv nadeatand that in order for them to e)ljoJr tl, hest of health they must CLINIC 'keep tiieLr mouths in a sanitary condi- tjOH. ".'VV 7 ..V.V -AT , jbe'done;'' -If the mouth Is unsanitary the food will be- unsanitary, .. JT yorl have' decayed teeth In yrpr mouth yo cannot thoroughly chew your food and the food cannot be properly digested, and the result , is that your body does not receive pro per nourishment, and on account of 'this, the body is in such a weakened condition that disease germs can eas ily obtain a foothold and in a short time what is the result? Sickness; simply because the body cannot resist and throw off these disease germs. . What da we require in order to sus tain life? (Food, Water and Air.) What would be the result if the body did not receive food? We could not live just upon air and water. Disease germs, too, must have food in order to live. They grow rapidly upon the decaying food material together with the warmth and moisture of the mouth. These conditions we have present in an unclean mouth. Medical authorities state that ap proximately 75 per cent of sickness is contracted through unhealthy, un sanitary conditions of the mouth and teeth, and when you consider this I think you will agree that it is of the utmost importance to keep vour teeth and mouth absolutely clean. HOW MUCH DO YOU BRUSH YOUR TEETH? The exanmination- of the children of the public Schools show that the majority of them do not spend the time they should in brushing their teeth. This is true, also, with many grown people. The most important time to brush , the teeth and give the mouth a thor ough cleansing is before breakfast. It is said by authorities that this means more towards safeguarding the " ' individual than all other means of O- ral Hygiene combined. Alter we have been asleep during the night c there is a period of undisturbed rest in the mouth with practically no change in the temperature or any other disturbance, and it is for this reason that the bacteria can grovr more rapidly at this time. . We can note the" difference in (., -V aheiax! morning when we, first awake, and , this, of course, is the result of the -germs present in the mouth. We should spend a long time brushing our teeth, and then after the t?eth are clean we should not fail to think about the gum tissues. This must bo stimulated if it is to be healthy arid r adhere closely about the neck of the tooth. In a mouth where the gums are not brushed and stimulated, they A bleed very quickly and the gum tissue does not have a healthy "pink" color as it should have. The gum tissue will be soft and have an inflamed red"- ' dened appearance. On the inside of the lower front teeth, will be found more tartar than in any other part of the mouth. This hard deposit which forms on the teeth can be kept off if the proper amount of effort and time is spent in brush ing. When this collection of tartar is allowed to form and remain on the teeth, it will cause a recessing of the . gum tissue, and, too, we might say now, that this is one of the most com mon Beginning points of "so-called" . pyorrhea. J Proper method of brushing , the ' teeth: Use . a rapid, light, circular stroke. Let the brush run as high " upward and as low downward as the - -tissue will permit Place the front teeth end to end. Begin at the right corner of the mouth (if you are right . handed).; and brush with this stroke ' to the third molar, or wisdom tooth, reverse motion and brush back. Turn Y the brush around and go to the op : posite side. In brushing the surfaces ' of the teeth next to the tongue let the bristles strike the back teeth at right ' angles and on the front teeth in. a slanting manner, about 45 degrees angle, : Yon . should . use dental floss " in cleaning the mouth. It is abso- lutely necessary In order to keep the spaces between, the teeth clean, The wide, flat type of floss should be used, allowing it to pass gently between the teeth, and in a way so that It wonld not injure the gum tissue. ' v Again le us repeat, that the great est safeguard towards good health is a thorough cleaning of the .teeth and mouth, before breakfast. This does not mean that this one "brushing". Is sufficient for the entire day. After each meal, you should see that all food particles have been removed. .The tongue should be given some attention, too, since we know that on the rough, pitted surface -of the tongue is a good lodging place far Lfood and consequently bacteria.
