Fire Causes Nasal Shock

Wrightsville, Ga. - Before the
source of the trouble became known,
housewives searched for burning
rags and motorists stopped to in
spect their cars for burning rub
Der or ignition wires. The smell
and terrific it was-caused by a
burning fertilizer plant, where
more than 1000 tons of fertilizer
ignited. The fire sent pillows of
smoke high into the air which
could be seen for miles. The smell
moved far afield, too.
Oh, fear not in world like this,
And thou shalt know ere long
Know how sublime thing it is
To suffer and be strong.

Child Delinquency
Shows Welfare Need
League Report Says

The Child Welfare League of
America declared today the high
rate of juvenile delinquency in
the Nation should prove that it
does not pay to scrimp on child
welfare services"
The statement was made in a
special report issued in connection
with the Midcentury White House
Conference on Children and
Youth, opening Sunday in the
National Guard Armory. The con-
ference. which will continue
through Thursday, is expected to
attract 5000 delegates.
Vast gains in dealing with chill
dren's problems have been made
in recent years, the league de-
clared, but grave shortages still
exist on both local and national
levels.
Welfare Workers Needed.
Spencer H. Crookes, executive
director Of the league, cited the
fact that adequate provision for
children needing special care is
lacking in nearly $500 of the
country's 3,183 counties. Only one
in five counties has full-time
child welfare worker, he said.
Other shortages exist in the
care of emotionally disturbed
children. illegitimate children and
crippled children. Mr.. Crookes
said that, in the field of mental
health, Is of the States have no
child guidance clinic at all, while
only 27 of the largest cities. pro-
vide full-time child guidance
service.
Even there" he added, "the
guidance workers cannot begin to
meet the need"
Babies Die Needlessly.
He estimated that more than
10000 babies die each year. many
of them needlessly, because of
poor techniques of maternal and
infant health. If all States did
as well as the best State, $4,000
