UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Buffaloes have not ranged about
Arizona and New Mexico IN any
large number for hundreds OF years.
How does it happen, then, that the
Hopi Indians have an important
buffalo dance2
The reason seems to be that the
ancestors of the present Hopis used
to live farther to the north, where
there were many buffaloes. After
moving into the Southwest centuries
ago they kept up their old custom
Of going through this dance.
In this tribe, the buffalo dance
lasts one day. The chief dancers
are young woman, known as the
Buffalo Maid, and a young man, the
Buffalo Youth.
The Buffalo Maid is supposed to
be a daughter of the sun and on
her back she carries what is meant
to be an image of the sun.
The Buffalo Youth holds in his
left hand crooked stick as a SYM
Dol of the lightning. This is be-
lieved to give him power over light
ming. In his right hand he holds a
rattle and on his head he wears a
cap made of buffalo skin, with a
pair of horns jutting from it.
The symbols of lightning and the
gun both seem to have the same pur-
pose-to give honor to the sky god
The Hopi dancers cannot help their
, hunters to obtain buffaloes, but they
can use the dance to practice wor-
ship Of the sun.

When a man underleads an ace,
It's slightly unusual; but when he
underleads the same ace twice, that's
news However, West knew from
North's very strong bidding that
almost all the high cards were
marked in his hand. Furthermore.
West reasoned that NorthS hand
was so powerful that ordinary de-
fense would not set the contract.
But there was chance that declarer
might be fooled.
With this thought in mind, West
led the heart three and South, be-
ing unwilling to risk the immediate
loss OF three heart tricks, naturally
enough flnessed dummy's nine. After
winning with the jack, East aided
his partner by returning a diamond,
and now West again obtained the
lead with the ace of spades. Dunn
my obviously showed no losers out
side of hearts, and hence West slyly
led another small heart.
South fell for it like a ton Of
bricks. 1t looked as though West
held the queen and that the 10
would therefore, drive out the ace
in East's hand. This was far from
stupid reasoning on the part of
South-in fact, any one might have
been deceived. The fact remains
that East won the second heart
with his queen and Vests ace pro-
vided the setting trick.

Congratulations
TO THE
Jeffersons Rotary Club

Editorial From The Skyland Post May a. 1889 Edition
We do not know of any organization anywhere
that has accomplished more than the JeffersOns
Rotary club during its first year of existence.
Designed for the primary purpose of promoting
a spirit of good fellowship friendship, unity and
cooperation among the business and professional
men of the county, this club has certainly achiev-
ed that goal and in addition to that, it has spOn-
sored large number of progressive and humani-
tartan activities.
The predictions contained in an editorial which
appeared in the Winston Salem Journal just at
ter the club was organized last spring, were in
deed accurate. The title of that editorial was,
preparing for Progress" In part it stated-"One
of the significant developments in the Northwest
North Carolina this spring is the organization of
new Rotary club at the JeffersOns. The club has
enlisted as charter members a splendid group of
outstanding and progressive business and profess
siOnal men of Ashe county.

COURSE ARRANGED
 IN APPRECIATION

The Adult Education program of Waterbury is inaugurating a new course in the "Art of Motion Pic ture Appreciation" this evening at 2 o'clock at Crosby High school. The students, under the direction of Walden Trimble, will study mo- tion pictures from the viewpoints of interpretation, casting, story, pro- duction, and dialogue.
 Since the moving picture induds- try has became a great factor as an intellectual, educational, enter taining, and moral influence on millions of people, it is important that movie-goers be able to dis criminate between "box-office" and great pictures, and that that they be able to decide when the two are synonomous. The problem of dou- ble features, "B" pictures, and pro- duction costs will also be taken up in class.
 Registrations will be accepted at Crosby high school in the evenings.

make a donation. Told he was at the right place, he said:
 q don't want you to use my name. But Miss (Blank) came to my house when my mother was awfully sick and she took care of my sister and me, too. l just want to give you this"
 "This" was a quarter.
 Numerous donations have been received at both the Visiting Nurse Home, 37 Central avenue, and at the Waterbury Democrat, which is au- thorized to receive all kinds of con- tribut,ons. These will be as- knowledged, so far as space allows, but the donors may remain anonym- ous if they request it.
 Leaders in Waterbury's civic life continued today to laud the work of the Visiting Nurse Association, urg- ing all citizens to give generously to cause so much a factor in the health of the community. J. War ren Upson, past presiednt Of the association. will speak at 5:55 o'clock tonight of Station WATR in behalf of the campaign.
 Rev. Dr. James E. Gregg, pastor of First Congregational church, to- day issued the following statement:
 Increasing interest in the work of the Visiting Nurse association is being expressed daily by many of our prominent citizens, many of whom have issued statements for publication in support of this much needed public service. Rev. James E. Gregg, pastor of the First Congregational church, said:
 Tt is incredible that the peo- pie of this city should not wish such an indispensable service as the visiting nurses provide to be adequately maintained. Obviously the proper care of the sick, the convalescent, and the disabled is of prime importance to the whole community. Hospitals, dispensaries and doctors can do much; but no one else can do exactly what the visiting nurses are doin,-and in the very homes which need them most"
 Mrs. Robert w. Lowell, president of the Waterbury Women's club, also urged support of the cam paign. Mrs. Lowell said: T am a firm believer in the Visiting Nurse association of Waterbury and know much of the splendid work 1t has done. I sincerely hope it will not be necessary from lack of financial support to curtail or eliminate any part of its service"
 Member of the medical advisory committee of the Visiting Nurse association, Dr. J. Harold Root, who will be, heard on station
 VERY at '7:45 o'clock tonight, commented as follows; "rhe work of the Visiting Nurse association has been one of the most impor- tant factors in decreasing the in fant mortality rate in Waterbury during the past 15 years from 86.7 in 1923 to 40 in 1888. The nurses have helped to do this not only by their care of the sick child, but also by their preventive work in the well baby conferences ard by visiting the well baby in the home. Every citizen should consider 1t his duty and privilege to contribute to the Visiting Nurse association, and so help 1t continue through the nursing service given to prevent and cure disease in this com- munity,"
 Contributions to the campaign may be made either by the coin cards which have space for $l.04 the cost of every visit one of the wis.,

Visiting Nurses Eager To Answer Questions

visit the baby after he is two weeks old?
 A. In order to answer many questions not anticipated by the mother; because the mother is not strong, and if it is her first baby, not too confident: and be- cause it is an excellent time to teach practical knowledge that the mother will learn because she is ready to use it.
 o. What is the difference be- tween a we'll baby conference and clinic?
 A. A clinic treats a sick pa tient. A well baby conference of- fers an opportunity to help the mother in how to keep a well baby well.
 0. Can the association meas ure the results of all this pre- ventive work?
 A. We believe that the reduc- ton of the infant mortality rate from 49.2 to 42.5 in 1888 and its steady decrease over a period of 20 years is one measure of worth for which this service is entitled to credit.

The final questionnaire pre- pared by Mrs. Roger S. Sperry, president of the Visiting Nurse as- sociation, to explain some of the work of the association, now en- gagged in a campaign for continu- ance of the service to Waterbury health, is presented below. Any information concerning other de- tails of the work of the asscc'a- ton will be furnished gladly by the Visiting Nurse association, 37 Central avenue. The question naire follows:
 Maternal Welfare
 Q. What is meant by maternity service?
 A. The care given to the moth- CT from early pregnancy until af- ter the baby Is born.
 Q. Is all education given at home?
 No. There are in addition moth CTS classes which are given each week in groups of eight lectures to a course.
 What do the mothers learn at these classes?
 A. They learn about pregnancy and what 1t is usual to expect in the development of pregnancy. They learn the adequate care for the mother and the importance of being under the direct supervision of physician during the preg- nancy. They learn the things nec- essary for the baby's wardrobe and the supplies necessary to have on hand after the baby Is born. They learn about the care of a new baby.
 Q. If the mother has her baby at home does she receive the same care as at the hospital?
 A. Yes, practically. Many doctors take their own nurses with them when the baby is born. (The wis., ting nurses were obliged to give up this service at the beginning of the depression because of the excessive cost to the association). The visiting nurse comes for ten day safter the baby is born, and she gives full care to the mother and the baby, and teaches someone in the home to care for the mother when she is not there.
 Child Welfare
 Q. What do the visiting nurses do to help keep well children we'll?
 4. They visit well babies to ex. plain to the mother the normal growth and the development Of the newborn baby. They teach good health habits in food, sleep, hygiene, exercise. and they teach good mental attitude for the mother to have regarding her baby.
