The clini IS for the betterment of the health O. all children.
 Mrs. c. W. Garrison of Little Rock wife of the state health officer anc the pioneer in child welfare work il Arkansas, is in Conway and has ar ranged a public meeting at 8 o'elocl tonight at the Presbyterian church al which arrangements for the clini, will be completed.
 Parents of children under sever years of age, for whose benefit the clinic will be given, are urged to at tend this meeting, which will be oper to the entire public. Mrs. L. S. Dun away, president of the S. l. A., Mrs Opie Hartje, president of the wom. ans auxiliary of the Commercial Club and other officers of civic organ lzations this afternoon made appeal to their members to attend and to assist in making the clinic of the greatest possible benefit to childhood of the city and county.
 pr. Frances Sage Bradley, who re- gently returned from Europe, where she was engaged in pre-war and post war work for children's welfare, will have charge of the clinic. She is an officer of the child hygiene division of the children's bureau, United States department of labor, under the aus pices of which the work is under taken. Dr. Bradley vii remain at Conway so long as is justified and will in addition visit two outlying points, which will be selected and announced later, upon the advice of the county demonstration agents and the various civic organizations cooperating
 The truck upon which Dr. Bradley's clinic is placed is remarkable sight in itself, it is said. It contains be- sides two dressing rooms for the use of parents and children, the examin- ing room with equipment equal to that found in modern hospital room and is supplied with it's own light and water service During Dr. Bradley's stay here reception will be held and the public given opportunity to ex- anime the unique clinic.
 Mrs. Garrison wishes it clearly un- derstood that Dr. Bradley will limit her work to examinations, any cura- tive action to be undertaken by regu- lar physicians employed by the par ents of a child found to have defects. Everything pertaining to the clinic is held confidential and is with the full cooperation of physicians of the community in which the work is done. Children brought to the clinic will be weighed and examined for physical defects, and suggestions made to parents, one of whom must accom- pany each child examined.
 At the organization meeting to be held tonight, committees on publicity hospitality, hostesses, itinerary, re- ception and registration will be nam ed. Rev. R. L. Jetton, pastor of the church, will preside. As suggested by Mrs. Garrison, the registration committee would in advance secure the names of children for examinatloc and set the time at which they are tc be taken to the clinic. It is hoped that much of this preliminary work car be accomplished before the arrival of the clinic. Mrs. Garrison today re lieved the hospitality committee of g part of it's duties by securing homes for Dr. Bradley and her three assis tants. She is accompanied by train ed nurse, a secretary and driver ot the truck
