STOKES HARD HIT I
BY 1936 DROUTH
NOT SINCE 193© HAS INCOME
OF FARMERS BEEN SO j
SMALL MUCH AID FROM|
GOVERNMENT WILL BE |
NEEDED IN YEAR 1937.
Not since the teilribly disas
trous year of 1930 when a crop
failure coupled with the incom
ing ravages of the depression
ruined hundreds of farmers as
well as business men, has the
income of Stokes farmers been
so hard bit as in 1936.
While here and there a few
farmers made good crops of to
bacco in 1936, the majority of
the growers experienced sorry
?rops. Corn and other feed crops
'kewise *uff ?-cd seriously.
The farmers of Stokes wili j
need e~t°nsive help from the j
federal agencies of relief this |
year if they make their crops.
Many tenant farmers are now on
a relief basis, and will be in
serious need of food and clothing.
Pleasant Surprise
Coming
Quite a large number of
Senator Sparger's and Represen
tative Scott's friends at Danbury
and Walnut tove are contemplat
ing visiting them at Raleigh
soon, and being their guests.
The legislature is now in session
and many of us are desirous of
looking in on the law-makers, as
well as seeing other interesting
sights around the State capital.
The affair is being kept quiet,
as the visit of us "constituents"
is planned to be in the nature of
a delightful surprise to our
representatives. It is expected
that one of Raleigh's hotels will
be headquarters for our crowd,
preferably the Sir Walter, as that
is a real good hotel, and they
prepare excellent beefsteaks
there.
While we do not anticipate a
very long stay in Raleigh, pos
sibly not more than two or
three days, we have no doubt
our representatives will insist
on the crowd remaining a week.
Personally for our part, we will
confess that we are not proof
against cordial welcome and
hospitality, and insistence to
stay.
Of course we will all be in the
hands of our representatives.
At this writing it is regretted
that several of the boys find they
will not be able to go this time,
and our crowd will probably not
number over 25, though some
others may decide to go.

I
Through the Microscop;
Diptheria is Preventable
Would you allow your child to
run out in front of a speeding
automobile? Do you like to have
him play in a street crowded
with traffic? Of course not. YET
you may be allowing him to run
an even greater risk.
Diptheria is an ever-present
menace to the life and health of
a child. An average of twenty
two children died every day from
diptheria in the United States
during 1928. Many who live
through diptheria are crippled
for life with injuried hearts or
paralysis.
Even when the symptoms are
light, the poison may be working
swiftly and relentlessly, therefore
PROMPT action is necessary to
save a life.
Your child has a right to pro
tection from diptheria. It has be
come a disease of neglected chil
dren.
Little children are most de
fenceless against this dreaded
disease. Those under five years
are in the worst danger zone.
Children need toot have dip
theria. It can be prevented by a
simple, harmless immunization
treatment with toxin-antitoxin
or toxoid. Do not wait until
your child goes to school. The
babies and little children need
this protection even more than
the children going to school. The
best time to have the doctor at
tend to this is when the baby is
between six months and on® year
of age.
Watch carefully all signs of
sore throat and croup. These
may be symptoms of diphtheria.
Do not take chances. CALL THE
DOCTOR AND CALL HIM
PROMPTLY.
Never let a child sick with
diphtheria get up or sit up until
the doctor gives his permission,
even when he is recovering from
a mild attack. A heart weakened
for life may be the result of
failure to keep the child in bed
long enough. Likewise, a life
may be the result of failure to
give the child Toxoid or Anti
toxin. One prevents, the other
one cures.
