their sons. Both are the inspiration
and encoura cement of innumerable
hosts of obscure mothers who serve
God and country vicariously through
their more illustrious sons and daugh-
serS.
''What'S in a Name?"
The naming of baby always is an
interesting event in family life. To
this godly mother it was particularly
significant. Her son of prayer must
have a name which wuold forever re-
mind him that he was child of pray
er and consecrated to Jehovah who
had given him in answer to prayer.
So she named the child "Asked-of-
Cod, for this is the meaning of
Samuel. Thus she insured the per-
petual remembrance of her prayer
and her solemn VOW so that even Eli,
who made such bad job of raising
his own sons, could not spoil the son
of Hannah's prayers.
A Mothers Sacrifice.
Hannah's unselfish dedication to
the ministry of motherhood was evil
denced when her child was weaned
and she brought him up to Shiloh and
turned him over to the aged Eli to
be trained from infancy for Gods SER
vice. And when she had weaned him
she took him up with her. and
brought him unto the house of the
Lord in Shiloh; and the child was
young . and she said. for this
child l prayed; and the Lord hath
given me my petition which I asked
of him: therefore also l have lent him
to the Lord; as long as he liveth he
shall be lent to the Lord. And he wor
shipped the Lord there" Like moth
er, like child" Thus godly mothers
through the ages have shaped their
children's destinies for time a nd eter

Whether Hannah shared Elkanah' S
sin by becoming the second wife in
his unhappy family we are not told.
This may have been part of the sor-
row with which her soul was trou-
bled.
A Prayer for Motherhood.
However that may be, Hannah
went up with her husband to the
house of the Lord in Shiloh in great
bitterness of soul because she was
childless while the other wife in the
family had children: "And she was in
bitterness of soul, and prayed unto
the Lord and wept sore. And she VOW
ed a vow, and said, o Lord of hosts
# thou wilt indeed look on the af-
Fiction of thine handmade, and re-
member me, and not forget thine
handmade. but wilt give unto thine
handmade a man child, then will ]
give him unto the Lord all the days
of his life" Here is a fervent PRAYER
for motherhood as Gods browning
glory for womanhood. Here, too, is a
fine example of prenatal influence Of
mother in shaping the character
of her unborn child And if we want
to know how God prepared Samuel to
become next to Moses in greatness a
mong all Old Testament characters,
let us give the credit under God to
Samueps godly mother. as in the case

Does Your Husband
Make His Living
Henderson
A Question to Those
Women
Who Buy Out Of
Town!

Does his income come from the pockets of Henderson
citizen from Henderso nenterprse is he
obligated Richmond, Durham Raleigh some
other city for the money he makes?
In asking that question merely asking you to
weigh your own welfare to determine what measure
Of loyalty you owe to your home town and remind you
that Hendersons progress and prosperity depend on
your support.
Aside from the civic advantages of trading with home
merchants there are the indisputable advantages OF
Economy Satisfaction and Convenience.
-
When you shop out of town, you pay much or more
for the merchandise plus transportation cost and time
spent And you seldom get any better style than you'll
find in local Stores After ALL Henderson merchants
are just about as close to style most other
cities and just as alert to its Importance.
CONSIDER THIS THOUGHT: What if every citizen
bought his needs in other town - What would
become of the business enterprises what would be-
come of the employees of these enterprises.

EFFORTS FUTILE.
PARLEY IS TOLD.
BY DR.. ROBERTS
Fishbein Raps Program
Of National Medicine
BY CARROLL PEEKE

Action of the medical profession
in opposing the Group Health AS
sociation in Washington was at
tackled before the closing session
Of the National Health Confer
ence at the Mayflower Hotel to-
day.
DR.. Kingsley Roberts. medical
director of the Bureau of Co
operative Medicine, lashed out at
methods used by "reactionary
medical associations" in attempt
ing to halt the growth Of group
health and asserted they were un-
able to do so, despite unfair
tactics.
FISHBEIN STIRRED
At the same time DR.. Morris
Fishbein, editor of the Journal of
the American Medical Association,
bitterly assailed the program of
national medicine recommended
by the conference, declaring it
was neither medically nor econorn-
ically scientific.
Striking at the A. M. AS tac-
tics in attempting to check the
Group Health Association, DR..
Roberts said:
'It is true that group health
or voluntary health associations
will not solve the problem for
the entire population. But this
method is logical and desirable
for about one-third of the popu-
1ation, who are able to budget a
certain amount of income for
medical care and hospitaliza-
tion.
I'VE have seen here in Wash
hgton, as well as in other cities
in the country, unfair attempts
to halt it. We have seen propa-
ganda sent out, designed to

DOUBTS
HEALTH FIGURES

- A gray-haired priest stood before
the National Health Conference
today and, in a gentle voice, ques-
toned the reliability Of statistics
presented in drawing up a pro-
gram.
He is the Rev. Father Alphonse
M. Schwitalla, cleric, educator,
and editor of Hospital Progress, a
magazine dealing with the prob
lens of hospitals throughout the
country.
Father Schwitalla questioned in
particular figures purporting to
show that more than 1900 coun-
ties throughout the nation are
without a registered general hospi-
tai.
Many of these counties, he said,
had hospitals which were not reg
iStered due to some technicality,
while the majority Of others are
within a 30-mile radius of a hos
pital.
Actually, he said, there are only
13 counties, with population of
81 900 persons, who are more than
80 miles from a hospital.
