Thus spoke County Superin tendent of Schools J. C. Carson at his offioe at the court house I (today where he was very busy | with the work of keeping one of the finest school systems in the State running smoothly. The past winter has probably been one of the most severe on record for the schools, and it has been with great difficulty that the buses have been kept - running, not always on schedule time but usually coming in brave ly and faithfully on the home 4 stretch. Prof. Carson informs the Re porter that various building proj ects with reference to the schools are now nearing completion. Among these are a sanitary pro ► jat Fr?nrisro, which 13 al most finished; a water system at Lawsonville, soon to be com- j pleted; same at Sandy Ridge! and King, and at Danbury, heat ing and sewerage system and re [ modeling, nearing completion.

Volume 64. 500 FARMERS LISTEN TO FLOYD 1 I GOVERNMENT EXPERT EX-'! | PLAINS NfJW TOBACCO PLAN COMMUNITY MEET-1 INGS TO BE HELD IN COUNTY. In spile of unfavorable wea ther conditions more than five hundred Stokes farmers turned cut at Danbury and King on Wednesday afternoon and even ing to hear E. Y. Floyd explain the Soil Conservation and Domes tic Allotment Act. Before these meetings he had met with th: committeemen who will have charge in assisting farmers in making out their applications, | work sheets. Many of those at | tending the meetings expressed j themselves as well phased with the new plan. Some are even , going so far as to say that it is better than the old plan. Floyd says this plan furnishes an ideal system for farmers to cooperate in building up a per-1 mament agriculture and insure aj living return for their labor. This is a cooperative program.; Tobacco farmers will cooperate ( with other groups. Th§ acreage > in tobacco is to be reduced to seventy per cent of the base al i lowed on the farm under the 1936-39 contracts. Grants or pay ir.'ints will be made to fanners «-I'edtt-ie their tobacco acreage provided they sow soil conserving | crops equal to the acreage j out of tobacco. Additional pay- ■ ments will be allowed for tod conserving crops up to twenty per cent, of the acreage of land planted to all soil depleting crops. i Blanks for making applications are expected here this week and any farmer who wishes to do so ! can call upon his township corn el rritteeman and there make out hit' work sheet or application. Every farmer who desires to: cooperate in this plan will be re- j quired to make out a work sheet! , shewing the acreages planted to the different crops on his farra or farms. !' , Community Meetings To Be | Held j County Agents Sears and Kirby will assist local committee men in holding meetings in each' township in the county to ex plain this plan and to start off the sign-up campaign.

C., Thursday, April 16, 1936 MISS AYERS CHANGES HER NAME STOKES COUNTY PUBLIC WELFARE WORKER WAS WEDDED FEBRUARY 22 GREENSBORO MAM WINS ATTRACTIVE STOKES' COUNTY BRIDE. (/ The attractive and efficient j leading lady of the f-Loken county' public welfare department is no longer Miss Mary Evelyn Av:r. but is now Mrs. R. Walton Mc- Nairy. The wedding of Mr. McNairy and his bride occurred in York.; South Carolina, Saturday, Feb ruary 22, 1936. with Rev. W. W. Harrison, Presbyterian minister i of York, officiating at his home.! For reasons which involved the | plans of both contracting parties, the affair was kept secret for a few weeks except to a circle of relatives and closest friends. Mrs. McNairv, who is the daughter of Mr. and Mi's. Jamesj 1 Thomas Ayers, of Pine Hal., | completed three and a half years of study at Woman's College of I the University of North Carolina ; lat Greensboro. She formerly was , connected with the public wel fare system, of Winston-Salem. For several months she has been engaged in the welfare work of Stokes county, and has her of fice in the relief headquarter here. Mr. McNairy, member of a well known Greensboro family, is a' son of Mrs. J. O. McNairy, who lives just north of the city, and the late J. O. McNairy. He at tended The Citadel, Charleston, S. C., and State College of the , University of North Carolina, Raleigh. He is a member of Kap pa Alpha fraternity. He is an agronomist with ihe federal de partment of agriculture and wa3 transferred last October from High Point to Reidsville. j _ It's Here. Or Is It? Springtime, sweet Adelaide, fa here. j At least the jonquils say so j and the purple and white hya j cinths. And the bumble bee that stands in the air before you with , invisible wings, daring you to hit him. Oh, yes, the languorous feeling that comes with the south wind, is a spring symptom. Other trymp toms are flitting flappers who ■ flick you in the face with a i cigarette puff, powdering their 1 rc'i as they flounce. ( The only thing needed now for a forma! opening of spring is Bill Link and his snuff box. i Judge Warliek In Forsyth superior court th> , past week, Judge Warliek stuck I .to his guns regarding giving prison sentences to drunken , drivers of cars. Vance Linville, 1 white man, who sought to pay a fine and cost following his con -1 victiop of driving a car while drunk, was not allowed to do sol and was sentenced to serve 60 j days on the Forsyth" county farnu—Union Republican. SLOT MACHINES COME BACK THEY MYSTERIOUSLY DISAP PEARED WHILE JUDGE ; ROUSSEAU WAS IN TOWN. BUT ABSENCE WAS ONLY ! TEMPORARY COSTLY TO THE COMMUNITY. • The slot machines discreetly disappeared during court, but is, soon as the Judge left town they bobbed up again like Banquo's ghost. The slot machine racket it is estimated costs the Danbury community more than $2,500 per year. The contrivances which are set to catch the nickles with, i mathematical accuracy, are evi j dently profitable to the pro j moters who brave the penalty oi" \ $25 or SSO for each individual; operation of the machine. But how many of us do not j break some law, some of us ( drive. too fast, buy bootlo.-j I | liquor, withhold something that I belongs to another, Or violate in some other way. Most of us are guilty of just as bad things as snaring relief nickles and holding them. Baseball Starts With A Bang: The King Junior Baseball Clubj started the season off right by I trimming Old Richmond of the i I Bi-County League to the tune of 6 to 4 in the first game of thj '.season, Easter Monday morning at the Tiger Park at King. Both I ■ clubs played in mid-season form and the game was fast tluou;;h --' out. White and Lawson alter . nated on the mound and the game was filled with beautiful 1 plays by the Juniors throughout the game. Mack Caudle, manager 1 of the Juniors, states that the 1 club has entered the Bi-County League, the 1936 season starting April 25th and promises fans that the club will be on top be fore the Ist of July.
