(Continued from first page.) done us u result of accident or dis- I , f I him'. On the other hand, only a few j . .u days ago, 1 saw a notice in the Waynesville Mountaineer than an' Orthopaedic Clinic was to be held in j Wavnesvillc fur the cripple children ! of the county. Now orteopaedics is ! us u result of accident or . . . . , t h u t Ehririi'ii 'i.nri that ucilis ti set straight crooked arms and legs and backs, and feet and hands it is ,' ', ' , . , ing cripples sound and straight. 1 never see a crippled child but that I am hurt inwardly, for such a child has lost its birthright and orthopae-li"-- seeks to bring it back. Today we have in our own town two doctors, both Haywood men, who are serving our people, their people, along these very lines. Dr. J. R. Mc- j ( racken .,, his eye ear nose and throat work, especially with children, is lining our people, especially our school children, a genuine and a great service. As I now look back over my long years of teaching, I recall many children who did poorly be cause, as I thought, they had no brums. I now know that some of them had defective ears that could not hear and eyes that could not see, and others had tonsils so inflamed that their whole bodies were pois oned by the toxins set free, and oth ers had tonsils and adenoids so en larged that they could not get enough oxygen into their lungs to feed their starved bodies and brains. These are the things that have made hun dreds of dunces, and these are the thing- that Dr. .VcCracken is seeking I to correct. When I was a boy, if a man had in be taken to a hospital, he made his will, told his friends good bye, and urged his children to meet him in the better world for the hospital was the court of last resort, to be gone to only when a man felt that he had one foot in the grave and the thcr fast following after. Nowaday.-, in Haywood county we are get ting the idea that a hospital is not a place to die in, but a place to get well in, and the man who in Haywood county is from the surgical end in stilling this idea into our folks is nur own Ir. ,1. F. Abel. Dr. Abel volunteered at our entering the World War with the purpose of serv ing his country while in the war and in case he came through it safely of .serving his home people better when it was over. And no he has done. As a scientific man. know some thing of medical and surgical mat ters from the scientific standpoint, and 1 appreciate the difficulties Dr. Abel has had to meet in his surgical practice, but his success therein has been little short of marvellous, and his service to our people oqually great. I have known some surgeons whose operations were always de scribed as highly successful, but whose patients had the habit of dy ing thereafter. Dr. Abel's have the habit, in extraordinary number, of getting well and going back to their communities and hammering into other folks that hospitals and sur gical operations are to help folks get well in contradiction to the old idea so long held that they spell death. These men, whose names I have writ herein and is hardly necessary to say that they know nothing of my writing this article, and will doubt less be the most surprised men in Waynesville when they read it these men have in my judgment in their medical and surgical practice done a large and a genuine public service. They have charged fees of course, for they have to feed and clothe and house their families, but that in no wise detracts from the fact that they have served our people of Haywood well. I have long felt that public rec- ognition of the services of these men greater numbers Deleo-Light pro to our folks ought to be made, and ducts of the highest possible quality for a year and a half (as some of my friends at home know) I have felt N ; that I ought to do my share therein being a scientific man myself. We are too prone to take these things as matters of fact, to say "Well I paid him for it." That is all right, but there is more to it than the mere payment of bills. If these men were to die we would all send flowers and J say, "What fine men they were," but ; I believe in sending the flowers, now while they can enjoy them, and so 'the writing of this article has been . a genuine pleasure to E.

Those who attended the convention he said, won free trips to Dayton, all expenses paid and other substantial rewards. As a reward for securing a required volume of business for the company, and this honor came to Mr. Martin as a reward for his ex ceptional sales effort in his territory. An important feature of the conven tion was the announcement by the company of a new model, completely automatic Delco-Light plant. This plant does not have the usual stor age battery. It starts automatically, whenever a light is turned on or any electric switch is closed, and stops when the light is turned off or the other electric service is ended. This plant will provide thirty 25 watt lights or their equivalent and is especially adapted to the automatic electric service required for the op eration of electric pressure water systems and of Frigidaire, the elec tric refrigerator. Tentative 'plans for the still great er expansion of the Delco-Light Com pany at Dayton, were intimated by Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., president of the General Motors Corporation, who was a guest. of the convention and who declared , that the resources of Gen eral Motors were back of any plans of the Delco-Light Company, its sub- sidiary to make and to sell, in still and at the lowest possible price, The Delco-Light Company now ha ( in Dayton, the largest factory of ita kind in the world, coveriig 32 acres of floor space and their plans for ex pansion are based on indications that in 1926 there will be bought at least twice the number of their products than were bought in 1925.

Did you see the reel last week en titled: A Message From Galilee? It was a vivid picture of the great saving work of the Near East Relief. There were pictures of thousands of happy healthy children rescued and cared for by the kind hearted friends of America. There's was a message of thanks giving for what America had done for them, and the plea that we might stand by them a little longer until they should be old enough and strong enough to go forth and care for them selves. ' And there were the pictures of many helpless, hungry ones, sick and hungry, in the refuge camps, plead ing and hoping that rich favored America would take them to her heart and give them a chance to live and grow strong and happy like the other children she is caring for Many of you had a part last jeer in this good work. Will you not come to their help again? And those of you who did not have a part in this work saving little children who look to us for life, will you not join us? Let us not cause their simple child ish faith in us to be disappointed nor lose the blessing of Him who said Inasmuch as ye did it unto the least of these yet did it unto me." Breathes there a man with soul so dead So unmoved by human need, A child's plaintive cry for bread Will fall on ears so dulled by greed And heart so cold as not to heed The hungry children's plea? If such there be, he doth belie The noble Christian's creed: "As ye failed to do for these Ye failed to do for Me." S. R. CROCKETT, County Chairman N. E. R. JAS. ATKINS, Local Treasurer.
