LIFE AND PROPERTY
DESTROYED BY WIND
LITTLE DAUGHTER OF MR. AND
MRS. A. E. WALTON CRUSHED
TO DEATH BY FALLING TIM-
BER, OTHERS INJURED.
A small school building on the
Holt plantation near Tippettville, in
4hich Sunday Scjiool services were
being held Sunday afternoon was the
target of a terrific typhoon that
swooped down without warning leav
ing the building a mass of ruins and
the sixty or more people assembled
there pinned beneath the timbers.
Of the number, one was dead, several
seriously wounded while others sus
tained bruises, cuts and broken bones.
The storm came with such sudden-
ess and fury as to leave no chance of
escape to those gathered in the build
ing. All the fury and force of the
wind seemed to concentrate and spend
itself on this one point. The roof
was lifted from the building releas
ing the support of .the walls, which
qijckly collapsed, trapping every oc
cupant in the building.
Those who could, promptly extri
cated themselves and summoned help.
Mr. A. E. Waltori was one of the first
on the scene. He began removing the
debris,.discovering first the apparent
ly jjianimate body of Miss Gammage.
A heavy timber had fallen across her
"shoulder and chest, crushing it bad
ly. Upon examination she showed
signs of life .and although seriously
l- injured her recovery is now hoped for.
The next body extricated by Mr.
Walton was that of his . own little

W. S. S. Campaign
Moving' Forward
COUNTY
CHAIRMAN REQUESTS COOPERATION OF
CITIZENS IN NAME OF GOVERNMENT
Reports from some of the Districts over the County indi
cate that the different committees have gone to work in earnest
and the prospects for Dooly Couny going over the top in the W.
S. S. Drive are indeed bright. The Government expects the
public to accord to the District Committeemen and their co
workers their co-operation, and to purchase willingly the quota
of stamps assigned to them. Yellow cards are furnished the so
licitors and District Chairmen. These will be used to report
slackers in this campaign. I sincerely trust that we will not
need many of these cards in Dooly County, and I do not believe
that we will. The Government expects this country to take, its
quota and do it cheerfully. Let’s all pull together and have our
quota subscribed by or before June 28th.
Yours for the Government,
L. L. WOODWARD,
County Chairman.

BABIES TO BE WEIGH
ED AND MEASURED
INITIAL WORK IN BETTER; BA-
BIES CAMPAIGN TO BE DONE
TOMORROW.
Plans to begin Child Welfare work
in this county are being made and the
first step in the accomplishment of
these plans will be made tomorrow
/when a weighing and measuring test
of about forty-five children out of
tho various homes in the town will
be made. Blanks have beon sent out
by tho government in an. effort to
have every; child in the United States
registered.
The work is being conducted under
tho direction of the W.oman’s Com
mittee Council of Defense. The coun-
;y work being conducted by Miss Sa
die Morgan. Assisting her in . thia
city ye Mn. J. J. Heard, Mrs. J. B.
HamiSwi and Mrs. L. L. Woodward.
A limited number of cards have been
furnished this county, making it nec
essary to have others printed before
tho work can be extended throughout
the county. Tho weighing and meas
uring will be conducted at the Red
Cross Room tomorrow afternoon be
ginning at 4 o’clock. This la a move
ment that should and doubtless will
enlist the interest of all the mothers.
It is designed to promote Child Web
fare, to eliminate the physical defects
of babies and thus raise the physical
standard of the nations’ citizenship.
The following article gives a very
lucid understanding of the scope and
possibilities of this great work.
The weighirig’snd measuring test of
children under school age, in connec
tion with Children’s Year and Baby
Week, will afford American mothers
a splendid opportunity to take port in
the campaign to save lives. When
child is found to be notably below the
average in his development it. may
mean in many cases that he is not suf
ficiently nourished, either from ac
tual lack of food, or because his food
is badly chosen, or because he
been allowed to fall into bad eating
habita.
A recent report by Dr. Josephine
Baker, chief of the Division of Hy
giene of the city of New York, says
that 90,000 school children in that
city are distinctly undernourished,
80,000 more arc in need of medical
attention, while still thousands more
•re in inch a state of health that they
will easily slip over into undernonr-
ishment if present conditions contin
ue. It is impossible to do much to
correct in adults the results of malnu
trition In childhood; but thero ’are
about ten million children under five
years of age in American homes to
day who can be prevented from mak
ing such a showing as they shall come
on to maturity. These undernourish
ed school children began, in many
cases, by being undernourished in the
yean while they were yet at home,
when ther esults might, perhaps, have
been prevented If the mother had
understood what was taking place.
Children must have plenty to cab
Adults can get along for some time,
if necessary, on noticeably restricted
diets without serious impairment of
health, but children cannot draw on
their reserves in this way without
detriment to their growth and vigor.
Children from two to aix should
have three good, meals a day, the
heaviest one being in the middle of
the day. Their day’s food should ia-
