!. NNHS got underway ILLS pdSt
Friday, and when Monday morn
ing comes, the students will feel
like oid-timers at the game of 60
ing back to school again. Saw
Winifred Harriss ring the
change of classes Friday, and she
looked mighty happy. In spite Of
what we all say, it's nice to be
back 1T school with all the old
gang and with all the lessons.
Sara K. Jordan, student body presl-
dent, said that so far no social
events had been planned, but the
first student gathering will be in
the form of the very first foot
ball game Of the season to be held
in Kinston on the 18th. I remem-
Der how we used to put up the
money for the gas, and drive to
most of the out-of-toWa games. So
come on, students, support yoIr
team and they'll WIN because
you're there and they know you're
pulling for them.
Miss Jane Head left thls week

for that they are indebted to
Dwain Everheart who plays sax.
The trumpet section is filled by
Walter Barnes and Tommy Head
with Tom Woodson on the from

course the drums are given their
workout by n Of the best little
drlmmers ever, Bobby Russ. Don
Cones is master of the keyboard,

that certain professional touch,
and it's just a shame that most

u. S. to Pay for MiIIionth Birth
Under Aid Program Today

The Government still Is paying
the stork bill, the Children's Bu-
reau of the Social Security Agency
last night.
The Bureau forecast the millionth
baby whose birth expenses would be
paid by the Emergency Maternity
and Infant Care program would be
born somewhere in the United States
today. In the District, DR.. Ella
Oppenheimer, director of the Bu-
reau of Maternal and Child Welfare,
said 1852 mothers and infants had
received medical care under the
program.
The Emergency Maternity and In
FAINT Care program now in its fourth
year of operation, is administered by
the health departments of the States
and the District under plans ap-
proved by the Children's Bureau
Under the program wives and in
fants under one year of men serving
in the four lowest grades Of the
Army, Navy, Coast Guard Marine
Corps are eligible for care at Gov
ernment expense without regard to
family circumstances or racial
status. Care is given even after the
serviceman's discharge If the preg-
nancy occurred, or the infant was

less than one year old, while the
husband was in one of the eligible
grades.
DR.. Oppenheimer says parents
should not wait until the baby is
born to make application for Gov
ernment-financed aid, nor should
they wait until all the bills are paid,
as the program provides payment to
the doctor and the hospital for pre-
natal care, delivery and medical care
of the baby during the first year.
Applications should be made to the
District Health Department, In the
Municipal Building.
This care is now costing the Gov
ernment about 500 for maternity
case and about $65 for the care of
an infant. In some cases where COM
plications developed the Government

amount covers the cost Of the ma
ternity care, including prenatal care.
delivery and care for six weeks after
the birth. All costs of doctor, nurses
and hospitals are paid by the Gov
ernment.
At one time, the Government was
paying for between 10000 and 5000
maternity cases a month, but the
number has now dropped to about
5000 q month.

Lincoln and Reconstruction

During the years 1t was natural that on Lincoln
birthday we should look back through time and history TO
of 80 wears before and to the words and example OIL
of acknowledged greatness who led an embatted nation
TO victory.
This year the analogy no longer holds good We are in
the midst of what 80 years ago. called reconstruction
Had Lincoln lived through that period OF reconstruction ths
nations history would be different and undoubtedly d
happier one But the task of returning the country to
ays and practices peace entrusted to the war Pes
dents it is today Lincoln died at the dawn
of peace Roosevelt almost on the eve of victory
It would be comforting and instructing to know how
Abraham Lincoln would have met problems similar to those
which the United States faces How would ne nave
helped to answer the question of whether I'VE shall noby
save meany lose the last best hope of earth through
closer organization of the worlds nations How might ne
have aided in solving our industrial disputes quickly and
fairly?
1t idle to speculate. But it is also excusabe to turn
to some of Lncons thoughts labor and read them with
present circumstances in mind The particular thoughts
quoted here were contained informal remarks which
he made to delegation of New York workngmen in March
of 1864.
They not formal economic and social philosophy
They may be geared to odays thinking but they make
interesting reading nevertheless THE strongest bond OF
human sympathy outside of the family relations, Lincoln
said SHOULD be uniting all working people, OF all ma
tons and tongues and kindreds' (That would get him
called Communist todayD
Nor should this lead to property or the own
ers property Property is the fruit of labor property Is
desirable; positive good in the world That some should
be rich shows that others become rich and hence is just
encouragement to industry and enterprise Chat would
get him called conservative, or worse)
LET not him who houseless pull down the house of an
other but let him work diligently and build for him
