Fidelis Philathea classes entertain Roanoke Rapids crowd
The Fidelis and Philathea classes of the Roanoke Rapids Baptist Church hosted a large social at City Hall drawing over two hundred guests. The program featured Rev Trueblood, Prof A M Proctor, the Baptist Male Quartet, vocal solos, recitations, and refreshments, praised as the best planned event on a large scale yet. The gathering included church leaders, school officials, nurses, and area clergy, all enjoying an evening of innocent amusement. Health insurance for wage earners is hailed by the State Board of Health as expanding access to medical care and reducing late diagnosis, with European examples cited as evidence. Universal benefits include early treatment and prevention, funded by small weekly contributions amid broader social legislation trends.
