Children Deserves Riqht

Every child deserves the right

both physical and mental health" said
DR.. Estelle A. Magiera of the Missis-

The healthy mind is an everyday
job and a lifetime job but a check up"

self whether or not you are trying
to make yourself a more charming
personality, whether you are just let
ting yourself drift being influenced
perhaps by trivial things into becom-
ing a crouch, a gloom or any one OF
a dozen kinds of persons who people
try to shun," said Doctor Magiera.
THE mental attitudes and behavior
patterns which are developed in early
years predeternline to a great extent
later adjustment to society and adult
personality. 1t has heen said if proper
training of children were provided by
parents and relatives and proper at
titudes shown on the part Of teachers
toward children, there would be few
problem children and fewer malad-
justed adults.
No matter what influenced your

the readjustment that may be neccs-
sary before your life can be happy

yourself together which means to in

ness and a well i~ntegrated personality
and is practicing good mental hygiene
when he is willing and eager to be
an active part Of life," Doctor Magiera
stated.

Mothers Day


BY Felix J. Underwood, M. D.. State Health Officer
Few of our national observances are based upon
the living. Most of them are in memory of one who
came, saw, and conquered and died. And we honor
his or her memory.
Mothers Day is a dedication to living mothers
everywhere. With gifts, and flowers, and kind words
spoken, we honor our mothers.
Those mothers who are dead and those who are
living share honors, the red rose for the living and the
white rose for the dead.
1t is sadly true, however, that last year thousands
and thousands of mothers died unnecessarily and there
are many white flowers being worn because we have
not thought enought of our mothers to provide adequate
maternal care. Is it not time that we as a Nation honored
our mothers by insuring their lives against unnecessary
tragedies? 1t can be done if we are willing to pay the
price of good maternal care for all mothers. It is sad
enough for a mother to die at any age of life but sadder
still when she must die very young because of lack of
good care.

MethOdiStS Call
Anti SemitiSln
Tn = American

ATLANTIC CITY, N. ]. (JTA)
The first general conference of
the Methodist Church this week
adopted a resolution condemning
anti-SenlitiSm as ''un-C Christian"
and as a rallying cry for essential
ly un-American forces. The reso-
luton said that anti-Semitism was
widespread in the United States"
but asserted that "a denomination
of 100000 can stand as a bull
wark against the racial hatred
now manifested in anti-SenlitiSm."
"Anti-Semitism is one of the
banners around which the anti
democratic forces are being rallied
in the United States" the report
said. I'VE therefore call upon our
fellow Christians and our church
organizations to expose the I'M
Christian character of this propa-
ganda, its nature and its source,
from pulpit and platform and on
the air, in printed matter and by
passage of resolutions"
