DAWES ANXIOUS FOR RETURNS TO BE COMPLETE Cards Will Be Distributed And Partially Employed Or Un employed Urged To Fill Them Out Mayor Dawes is very anxious that all people in this county register !' during the unemployment census jthat is to be taken from Nov. 16th 1 to Nov. 20th. This census is for those who have partial employment or unemployed. Cards will be distributed by the Postoffice Department and if you do not get one it can be easily se cured from this department or from a mail carrier. Mayor Dawes is chairman of the census in this county and he is very anxious that the returns be com plete. Every unemployed 6r partially unemployed person gains by regis tering during the National Unem ployment Census to be taken Nov. 16 in this and all other communities of the United States, according to the pamphlet, “General Informa tion,” issued by Administrator John D. Biggers, in charge of the pro gress. The pamphlet quotes the Presi dent’s message on the face of the report cards, in which he said: “If you will give me the facts, I shall try to use them for the bene fit of all who need and want work and do not now have it.” It also recalled that Congress di rected the census to be taken “to aid in the formulation of a program for reemployment, social security and unemployment relief for the people of the United States." Thus, while the unemployed are warned by the pamphlet that “re gistration on the report card is in no sense registration for a job,” there is the implied intention of Congress to use the information ob tained in this census, for develop ment of constructive plan, aimed at improving the conditions of the un employed. o Sign language was often useful to Indians in hunting, because they could communicate without alarm ing the game. „ EIGHT PAGES “ TODAY HEALTH DEPT. TO ’ SPONSOR CLINIC Maternity Clinic For Patients ' Os Midwives To Be Held In Olive Hill Colored School By ALBERT L. ALLEN, M. D. A maternity clinic for the care of the midwife’s patients will be inaugurated by the local health de partment beginning November 16th, and will be held every second Tues day of each succeeding month. The clinic which is to be held in the Olive Hill Colored School, is the response to the need of women who are prospective patients of mid wives, and the location has been sel ected so as to be accessible to the negro women of Cunningham and Olive Hill townships. Dr. George M. Cooper, of. the State Board of Health in Raleigh, has long been desirous of starting a maternity clinic in Cunningham township, in which during the last year, over 75 percent of the deliveries were made by mid jvives. In keeping with the procedure of every modern physician, each pat ient will be given a monthly exami nation and check-up as soon as pregnancy is discovered and a mid wife consulted. Only colored wo men, who have engaged midwives, will be accepted. The purpose of the examination is to ascertain the na | ture of the progress of pregnancy, to note possible development of dan ger signals, and to demonstrate by pelvic measurement and other tests whether the pregnancy is to be Without complications and of the type to be handled by a midwife. In the event abnormal pregnancy is observed, it will be recommended f that a physician of the patient’s I choice take charge of the case. Examinations will be held every I second Tuesday of the month begin ning at 2:00 p. m., and will be con ducted alternately by Doctors E. M. Hedgepeth and H. M. Beam, of this city. Physicians conducting the clinic will receive a flat fee, whch is to be paid by the Department of Preven : tive Medicine, of the State Board of Health, through the Orange-Person 1 District Health Department. There are approximately a hun -1 dred such clinics sponsored by health departments over the state. They have been instituted in an ef fort to reduce the excessively high maternal and infant death rate in the south, which is in some measure due to the ignorance of midwives.
