admitting membership in the

my parents before me, and their
parents before them, but for the
first time felt that the church,
long-known for its freedom of

My Aunt Sadie just called by

Since il is my nature TO be

squelched the impulse to ask her
who had read the paper to her.
AS well as l can recall my Aunt
Sadie has never been able to

the preacher walking up the path

grabbed a Bible and pretended
she was reading it. The false

the woodshed. Perhaps talking to the
children will turn the trick and avoid
creation of complexes; however, a red
complexion in the area just below the
spine often does miracles for growing
youngsters who forget right from wrong.
This does not imply that one has to beat
his child as one would prod stubborn

1t may not seem as serious to the citi-
zens of Tabor City as it appears to the
outsider; however, crime impresses peo-

reputation in Tabor City.
1t has been said that there is no such

Too Busy Until It's Too Late

What has become of the parent who
knows what his child is doing at all times
or at least has vague idea of his activi-
ties? Several local parents have been sur
prsed recently when informed that their
child was charged with an infraction of
the law.
The degree of the infraction should be
secondary when it comes to parental
action. A boy should not be permitted to
become involved in a felony before the
parent expressed anxiety over the situa-
ton.
AS of late several of our local teen-age
boys have been charged with breaking
the law. Four of them now face serious
charges in South Carolina. If there is any
basis to prevailing rumors then this is only
the beginning teen-age boys will
be involved in the near future.
Have the parents assumed too many
outside responsibilities and neglected
their duties at home? Have parents taken
for granted that the overburdened teach
ers at the school will teach their children
not only the basic subjects required but
also teach them what they should learn
at home. Every teacher worth his salt is
vitality interested in the student from more
angles than just teaching him how to read,
rite and make two and two equal four;
however, the time factor plus a crowded
condition in the classroom prevents the
teacher from serving efficiently in dual
role as parent and teacher. Going to
school six hours day, five days a week,
linc months each year does not insure the
children against going astray. The hours
spent out of school are left to the discre-
ton of the parents-if they are interested
enough they will find the time to complete
..e ,,aning given in the school.
These modern day methods of raising
children from the book are fine-for some
children; however, even the book chill

Facts OF State
BY Felix A. Grisette

births was just under 2 per cent.
Halifax was the leading county
by a wide margin in the number
of now-white births attended
only by a midwife, 897 out of
1,226 births, or II per cent. Every
county in the State except Allie
gheny had one or more births
by midwife. Although midwife
births predominant among nom
whites, it is still not unheard Of
among whites. There were at
least some midwife white births
in "a of the States 100 counties
and, believe it or not, there were
white midwife births in Is
counties in which there were no
non-white midwife births.
The Is counties in which there
were white midwife births and
no non-white midwife births
were western mountainous coun-
ties in which the non-white pop
ulation is very small. These l3
counties were: Alexander, Ashe,
Cherokee, Clay, Haywood, Hend-
erson, Mcdowell, Macon, Madi-
son, Mitchell, Swain, Watauga
and Yancey. In Madison there
were so white midwife births
and no non-whites. Wilkes led
all counties in white midwife
births, both absolutely and per-
centage-wise. There were lO6
white midwife births during the
year, or more than 10 per cent of
the total.
Generally speaking, the coun-
ties with the largest non-white
population have the largest per-
centage of non-hospital births,
although there are some notable
exceptions. In both Durham and
Forsyth. for instance, both of
which have large Negro popula-
tions, the hospital births among
non-whites is almost as large as
among the whites. In Durham,
1888 per cent of the white births
in 1852 were born in hospitals
and 1926 per cent of the nom
whites. In Forsyth, the white and
non-white ratios were 1884 and
9O.85, respectively. Incidentally.
Durham's white percentage of
$3.50 was the highest of any
county, although Mecklenburg
was only whisper behind with
a percentage of 1882.
The experiences of tho non
whites in Durham and FORSYTH
provide the best possible illus
tration of the fact that there is
a close relationship between
available hospital facilities and
the ratio Of hospital births to
total births. Both Durham and
Winston-Salem have excellent
Negro hospitals.
Almost without exception. the
Is counties of the State in which
there are no general hospital
facilities are the counties with
the lowest ratio of hospital
births. An exception is Davie
which has no general hospital
within its borders but where
about "a per cent of the births,
higher than the Statewide aver
age, were born in hospitals. The
explanation is that Davie, a
small county, is surrounded by
counties containing excellent
hospital facilities.
Generally speaking, the urban
counties have higher ratio of
hospital births. but there are
exceptions. Watauga, the leading
county, is rural county and so
is Haywood which ranked second
among the counties with a per-
centage of 98.42.
