of Shelby school assembled in the
Central school auditorium. The rev

“Historical Sketch of Wilson”,
Frances Whisnant; “His Academic

As a touching conclusion to tl\e

Her Monthly Report

nurse in the public schools is readily
seen in the first month’s report of the
program carried on by the school
nurse, Miss Irma Bowman. Many
slight defects in the children, which
without attention would have impair
ed them in later life, have been re
vealed and in the majority of the
cases are being treated. The January
renort covers a period of three Weeks
only.
During this time the eyes of 400
children, 240 boys and 160 girls.
h*ve been examined. Four boys and
10 girls out of 103 found with defec
tive eyesight are now having their
eyes treated and glasses fitted. The
general nurses examination during
the three weeks included 202, children
141 boys and 61 girls. Of the two
found with defective hearing, one is
being treated. Of the 85 found with
nose or throat trouble, four are being
treated. Of the 138 found with defec
tive teeth, seven are already receiving
treatment. The entire 11 children
found with some skin or scalp ailment
are receiving medical attention, which
is a good example of the beneficial
work of a school nurse. Twenty-six
oer cent, of the students examined, or
53 children, 23 boys and 30 girls, were
found underweight.

t Dr. Palmer was a kind hearted,
public spirited citizen, tender and sym

bore no malice toward anyone. .When
ever or wherever he was called, he
promptly answered if he felt he could
stav the hand of death.

Nothing eventful under tae “\Ve

at the last meeting Thursday and
with the exception of a few minutes
^devoted ti business the remainder of
the owning was spent in that friendly
oirit common to tho club, so friendly,
in fact it was hard to fathom by j
«eome of the membership.
Bosh Hamrick who represented the
eluh’-at th« meeting of district tros
t~es held nt Pinehurst recentlv, made
a report of the meeting to the club.
Foecial music, p ano, by M'ss Mar

evening in addition to selections by 1

Te-pot Howe Scramble.
Several out-of-town visitors were
ransts of the club and it was during
their introduction that the program
committee with the aid of some dar
ing m-mbers put over tb« toD-nn^ch
and hif*h-piteh number of the evening.
Just after one guest had been intro
duced County Superintendent of
Schools J. C. Newton took the floor
without the least suggestion from
anyone. and without any heed to his
store of school-room adjectives de
nounced the “municipal aqua"'of Shel
by. Had his spiel flown on uninter
rupted the meeting might have been j
termed "Kiwanis Kreates Kounter
feit Kick” But Dr. Reuben McBrayer
entered strenuous objections to th*.
denouncement and as Kipling might,
have described the Dempsev-Firpo !
fight, “things waxed warm.’ The two
apparently near reached that atage of
temper where knuckles talk and then j
the riot started. The remaining mem
bership had either taken aid«n and d«
cidad to pitch battle, or halt the pro
ceedings rather than ruin the reputa
tion of the dub. Some otf the more
dignified members scrambled across
a row of chain and plates intent updn j
entering their lances in the tourney;
list; othen slid to the center of;
events with disastrous results to their
clothing, but the majority remained
cool and the two original participants
were ejected singly from the room.
The club was exdted, too excited to
eat, and then those in charge of the
program explained and the excite-,
ment turned to mortification.
The entire affair was planned. The j
two pugilistic hopes returned to the,
room smiling, the best of friends. Mr.
Newtftn did not seem to have any i
anxiety about the water and tyr. Me- ‘
Brayer was not worrying about the;
purity. It took sometime for the
“frame-up” to sink itt on those who;
had been framed, ana in some cases
the cork is still above water thanks
to the histrionic ability of the two
members selected to sow the seeds of
riot.
