 The question debated here is whether the average vote who knows that 40 or 50 billion dollars of wealth was represented at the recent banquet will feel that this effort bodes him good or whether he will instinctively distrust ti.

 League chiefs think the prestige and wealth of its directors and packers will go far toward licking Roosevelt and that the attitude of the nations big employers is bound to affect employe votes.
 Point to Massed Wealth On the other hand, administra. ton politicians generally sighed with relief after Smith finished his speech and opined that if that was the best the opposition could do, we've got 'em."
 They pointed to the banquet galaxy, which included winthrop Aldrich, of Chase National Bank; Colby M. Chester, of General Foods; John w. Davis, of the Morgan interests; President Rob. ert V.

Red House Parish Services

Gnegy church service at 9:15, fol-
lowed by the study of the Sunday
school lesson. Plenty of time has been
given to study the suggestion with re-
gard to forming congregation. The
time has come for intelligent action.
Cards are to be signed and returned
promptly. Many who are deeply in
terested in this community feel that
the good Lord has given US a great
opportunity for Christian service that
will be very helpful to many lives and
homes in the neighborhood.
Red House services in the morning
as usual, and the Luther League pro-
gram in the evening. Chow Do We
Know God Loves Us?" This is the
question to be considered by the pas
tor, and he will offer the following
reasons: God has given US loving
friends; our happiest experiences are
found in loving others; our most dis
agreeable moments come when we dis
cover that we have lost the conf
dence of another person; our natural
and regular worship of God reminds
US of His never-failing goodness.

CLINICS SAFEGUARD THE
LIVES OF MOTHER-BABY
Eighteen of Twenty-three COun-
ties Give Health Supervision

Eighteen of the twenty-three coun-
ties in the State now include monthly
clinics for the health supervision of
expectant mothers of limited means as
part of the health service of the
County Department of Health. The
prenatal clinics as they are called,
are sponsored by the Bureau of Child
Hygiene of the State Department of
Health, and in describing the work
they are dong DIR. J. H. NJ. Knox, Jr.,
Chief of that Bureau, said it is hoped
that such service will be available
eventually, to all women who need it,
in every county Of the State.
"The arrangements in each county,"
DR.. Knox explained, "are under the
direction of the county health officers
and are made with the approval of
the local medical society. The patients
are referred to the clinics either by
their own physicians, or through the
public health nurses connected with
the County Department of Hath. Each
patient is given a complete physical
examination, including blood pres
sure, pelvic measurements, urine ex-
elliilhcItlOAlo anu GCoGos
The clinics are conducted by the
county health officers or by other ply
sicians with special experience in
prenatal and obstetrical care. They are
held at some central place at regu-
lar time each month. Each case is fol-
lowed up by the local public health
nurse, who assists the mother-to-b be
in making the necessary arrangements
for the baby's arrival, either in her
own home, or if advisable in a hos
pital. With the approval of the at
tending physician, this advisory care
is continued after the birth of the
baby. The mother is encouraged to
return to the clinic for a final examl-
nation and a check up on her own
health. If she hasn't a doctor she is
advised to take the baby to the child
health conferences, for periodical ex-
aminations and advice.
Mothers, and fathers, too, realize
much more than they did few years
ago, that medical supervision, and
skilled care of the mother, before,
during and after the baby's birth,
will safeguard both lives. The extent
to which the mothers and fathers in
the counties of Maryland are con-
WINGED of these facts is shown in
the seteady increase in attendance at
the prenatal clinics. The first of the
county clinics was organized in 1928
in Hartford county. The number of
women enrolled was 16. Last year, with
clinics under way in Is counties, 954
women had the benefit of the advice
and supervision made possible through
this service. We hope it will not be
long before similar service is availa-
BILE in the remaining counties"

DIR. PECK PLANS SERIES OF
TYPHOID FEVER CLINICS
Only Case in Garrett County this
Year Thus Far Proved Fatal

A series of clinics in various parts
of the county to inoculate against ty-
phoid fever, is being planned by DR.. E.
c. Peck, county health officer.
Typhoid clinics will be held at the
Asher Glade school on June Is, % and
20, at 200 o'clock p. M; and at the
Rural Resettlement Office in Grants
vile at $3.50 on the same afternoons
for resettlement workers and any
others in the Grantsville section who
are interested. Other clinics are to be
announced later if residents express
the desire to have them by sending a
\ post card to the health department
or notify any one of the public health
nurses.
DR.. Peck stated there was only one
case of typhoid fever in the county in
1885, and that already this year there
had been a fatal case. He said the
health department has vaccine for the
prevention of typhoid on hand at all
' times and furnishes this free to ply
.sicians to give to their patients.
For persons who have had typhoid
vaccine less than three years ago, DR..
Peck advises that they have one in
lection to renew immunity. The full
course of three injections was advised
for others who had gone more than
three years without it.
Typhoid fever is spread by dis
charges from the body Of persons hav-
ing the disease getting. into and pol
luting the water and milk supplies, it.
was explained. All public piped water
supplies in the county are safe water
with the exception of Bloomington,
DR.. Peck stated. A permit issued to a
public camp or picnic ground is evil
dence that the State Department Of
Health has inspected the water sup
ply and is considered safe to use.
Inspecting and testing has been car
ried on this week by E. A. Goodrich,
Bureau of Sanitary Engineering, and
Lloyd MacMurray, resident engineer
for the western counties.

Jackasses Ride and Are Ridden
In Baseball Game Tuesday

1t was "jackass night" on Tuesday
evening when the Rotarians and Fire
men tangled in the first donkey base
ball game ever staged here. Some
rode 'em, some didn't, and the dom
keys made jackasses out of some of
those who tried to get to first base.
The game ended in grand climax
as John Sweeney scored home run
and tied the score. o. T. eraser, first
man to bat for the Rotarians in the
first inning, scored that clubs only
run.
1t would be digging into the past
maybe, to intimate that maybe these
two were brought up on jackasses
and were the only ones who knew how
to guide and humor them.
Among the lineup of the Rotary
clubs donkey express were o. T.
eraser, Frank Kley, Cecil Smith,
Floyd Stahl, F. D. Bittle, Emroy Boil
den, C. A. Shilke, Paul B. Naylor, G..
C. Stemple, with Walter Dawson and
Jesse Ashby as substitutes.
Among the Fremen's Jackass Ex-
press were Jim Lewis, Lawrence M.
Fraley, Howard White, Robert Lohr,
Singleton Townshend, John Sweeney,
Ralph Kercheval, Ernest Townshend,
Jr., Eugene Carney, with Bill Brown
ing and Mike Dewitt as substitutes.
The show was held under the aus
pices of the firemer and they cleared
$100.85 as 40 percent of the gate re-
ceipts. E. A. Shaffer, president, sta
ted he was deeply grateful to the
people who patronized the affair and
to the Rotary club for cooperating.
