Nor1partisan Club
Hears. Addresses
on Child Welfare

Child welfare was stressed last
evening at the Woman's Nonpartisam
club ceting at the I. O. o. r. hall.
he program opened with two vocal
NUMBERS by Mrs. H. w. Herman. Mrs.
William Childs also sang two num-
hers, Mrs. j. l.. Hughes playing the
accompaniments for both.
Miss Henrietta Lund, who is head
of the children's bureau in the state,
outlined the work Of the bureau,
describing it as a fence at the top
Of a cliff to do away with the need
II an ambulance at the foot to care
for. these VINO! have fallen. It is far
beSer, Miss Lund said, to spend $50
to i've the child the right start than
to pend $4,000 to convict him and
Sc 4 him to prison in later years.
Judge A. G. Burr told Of the work
of the juvenile court and it's con-
nection to child welfare. Children
appearing before the court are
divided into three classes, dependent,
neglected and delinquent, he said.
The mothers pension often solves the
problem for the first. an appeal to the
parents. for, the second; and advice
and an appeal to self respect for the
third. If these preliminary measures
fair, as they often do in the case of
the delinquent child, confinement to
the state training school is applied AS
remedy.
The program closed with piano
solo by Luella Harding. A social
hour followed and refreshments were
served. About so members and friends
of bhc organization attended.

HeChap Who
Named Stars
For Children

The man who named stars
for children and hung them
out in the sky to watch over
unhappy little boys and girls
and make them glad was a
visitor to Elizabeth City this
week. He is William +. b.
McNeary. editor of the Newark
(N. I.) Sunday Call. the larg-
est exclusive Sunday news
paper in America.
McNeary is an interesting chap
and millions Of Americans who tune
i'm on their radio sets nightly are
much indebted to him for the pre-
sent comprehensive scheme of radio
br0adcaSting. He published the
first radio section Of any newspaper
and his Sunday Call radio section
WAS the largest in America for
several years. until metropolitan
newspapers copied and enlarged
somewhat upon his methods.
lie was himself one of the ori-
ginal radio broadcaSterS and played
"Man in the Moon" to children from
WIZ for time until he got into
trouble and had to give il up. Par
cntS who had trouble with their
children and couldn't get them to
mind or To take medicine would
write their troubles to McNeary.
In his radio talks he would call the
children by names. give them heart
to heart talks on how to he healthy
and happy and lovablc. and tell them
that he had named Il star for them
which he had hung out over their
homes. This little star would watch
over them and shine brightly if
they behaved aud ate only the foods
that were good for them.
The kiddicS liked the stunt and
he WAS deluycd with letters from
parents who wanted him to name
stars for their children. When he
had something like 5000 such re-
quests on his desk he had 10 quit.
McNeary served in the world war
as a member of the L. :. Intelli-
ecnce Service. in France in 19lT-l9
and in Poland. BOlshevik Russia,
Esthsnia. Latvia. Ukrna and other
Baltic states in 19l9-21.
Mr.. McNcary was attracted to
Elizabeth City by the activities of
the Carolina Development Co. and
came down To personally visit their
properties at and around Kitty
Hawk. Incidentally he is doing
