NEWS
NATIONAL BABY WEEK.
The observance of National Baby
week in Abbeville last week was a
success in every way. The program
for the week was arranged by Mrs. I
D. A. Rogers of the Health Commit- I
tee of the Civic Club, and consisted i
of conferences held in the home of c
Mrs. J. V. Elgin, Mrs Martha Bowen, t
Mrs. Henry Gilliam, Mrs. W. R. Brad- 1
ley, Mrs. W. G. Stephens, Mrs. W. E s
Johnson, Mrs. W. A. Calvert, Mrs. i
M. T. Coleman, Mrs. Rogers, and at t
the mill school house. There was a
much talk of the best method of car- t
ing for children and many helpful I
articles were read from magazines. I
All these meetings were especially c
well attended considering the bad
weather. y
Thursday afternoon at the Civic c
Club rooms Dr. J. E. Pressly and Dr
G. A. Neuffer talked to the large i
crowd of ladies present about the 5
"Physical Welfare of the Child." f
Both these talks were instructive and
entertaining and the many questions i
asked by the ladies created a feeling c
of comradeship among all present. a
Friday afternoon the meeting was t
devoted to the discussion of the r
"Moral Welfare of the Child," and ;
papers were read by Mrs. W. 0. Cro- a
mer, Mrs. M. T .Coleman and Mrs.
J. L. McMillan. These papers treat- J
ed the subject from the standpoint I
of the generally improved condition t
of children in the schools r
and as to their recreation. Rev. M. j
R. Plaxco opened the meeting with t
prayer and every seat in the room
was taken. c
At three o'clock on Friday after- I
noon a parade was held, the children t
meeting at the plaza, forming in line t
and marching around the square. On
account of the wind there were only
seventy babies in the parade. There (
were many health banners on the
different carriages and the little girls
carried banners of purple and gold t
bearing inscriptions on health while
the boys carried placards around
their necks. After the parade the i
little fellows were taken into the
picture show where all who were in
the parade were admitted free. This
parade was in charge of Mrs. C. C. .
Gambrell and was well carried out. 1
On Sunday all the ministers in c
town preached sermons on the "Spiritual
Welfare of the Child." The j
churches were full and the sermons
were enjoyed. a
Many of the merchants took an 11
interest in the week and decorated
their windows in things pertaining ,
to the care of children. The win- }

much pleasant comment. F
Baby week was something new for
Abbeville but from now on it will ,
be the custom. It was enjoyable
and profitable and the success of the
whole entertainment was due to the
careful planning of Mrs. Rogers.
BUYING FORDS. I
a
Mr. Geo. Bowie bought a Ford j
touring car last week from Long- n
shore, the local dealer.

made out of his old one and is now
