STIR ENTHUSIASM
 FOR CHILD CLINIC MANY WORKERS ACTIVE
Appeals to Many-Also to Exhibit Model Diet.

The opportunity offered by the "Child Welfare Special,' the children's clinic mounted and transported on d truck, to accomplish mucn for the health of children of Conway and Faulkner county has made strong already great enthusiasm and interest has been created The Special will arrive here Monday and will remaln until Friday. Children registered with Mrs. Opie Hartje, chairman of the registration committee, at noon to- day are sufficient in number to pro- vide Dr. Frances Sage Bradley and her assistants a full days work.
 Committees to assist in making the clinic of widest possible benefit were appointed at the rally held last night at the Presbyterian church. Rev. k. L. Jetton, the pastor, presided and a brief address explaining it's purpose was made by Mrs. C. W. Garrison of Little Rock. Chairman of committees ,appointed are: Publicity, Mrs. P. I. Cleaver; hospitality, Mrs. William Van Nalkenburgh; hostesses, Mrs. l E. s. Dunaway; itinerary, County Agent T. M. Williams; reception, Mrs. Joseph Frauenthal, and registration, Mrs. 1 Opie Hartje. The chairmen were al- so authorized to appoint as many ad- ditional members of their committees as required.
 An added feature of the clinic will be a model diet for children under seven years of age. It will be pre- pared, exhibited and explained by Miss Hattie Clifton of the State Nor nal faculty and Home Agent, Mrs C. D. Turner The truck will be plac- ed on the courthouse lawn, and Coun- ty Judge E. l.. Smith has also given 1 Dr. Bradley and her staff the use of room at the courthouse for the ex- animation of eyes. Dr. Bradley is a 1 physician and her experience in child welfare work is sufficient guarantee of her competence. The Special is being sent out by the child hygiene di- vision of the children's bureau, Unit ed States department of labor
 Parents of the city and county can make the work of the committees much easier by registering theil children for examination. Registra- tion can be accomplished by phoning Mrs. Hartje at Phone 372, and the time of the examination will be set A child to be examined must be ac. companied by one, preferably both parents. Dr. Bradley will occupy about 20 minutes with each emaXina- ! tion.
 Mr. Williams and Mrs. Turner will select the two places in the county where Dr. Bradley and her staff will hold clinics As stated by Mrs. Gar rison, Dr. Bradley would like to go in oposite directions to cover as wide a territory as possible, From thei1 work among the people of the county the agents will be able to select the places where the most good can be ac. accomplished for child welfare.
 Aside from the chance to assist the children of the community, the strong est point of appeal made by th> "Special' is the novelty of the idea behind it.. The truck is model fol the purpose and has already covered many miles in the United States, Il was devised and equipped to supple ment the child welfare work being done in the cities, it being hard tC reach rural sections with the equip ment required for thorough eXamina tion. Dr. Bradley has overcome thi obstacle by mounting her clinic ol the truck and both city and rura sections are visited without loss o time. During it's stay here, tt' clinic will be open to inspection by tn public. The duty of the reception committee will be to remain on hant while the clinic is open and assis parents in the care of children.
