Page 2 THE DANBURY REPORTER. N. E. PEPPEPw, Editor and Publisher Issued Wednesdays at Danbury, N. C., and entered at the Danbury poßtofflce as second class matter, under act of Congress. Danbury, N. C., Thursday, April 1, 1937 Springtime in the Swarries. \ Like a quaff of fine wine from a charred keg is the reaction from winter —its cold swishing rains, its mean whipping winds and its heinous •flu. •• i - i And now, what have we?—warm, sweet airs stealing up from the south, scented with apple blossoms. Old men's rheumatiz, like a hateful phantom of the night, flees away. Fool frantic frivolity leaps in, the blood of crazy youth, who tramp— trainp—up and down the pavement with one fourth clothed legs. ! Hanging Rock, the Cascade, Moore's Knob— enchanting names that conjure up visions and memories and anticipations of the mountains. The-first rhododendron has burst from the cliff where the spruce swings over the gorge. The graceful fleur-de-lis has made its debut close by the fallen rotten log. On the rock, the clinging arbutus. In the hedge, the fresh surprised vis age of the wake-robin. Hail, beauteous denizens of the waking wood., The partridge whistles in the diamond morn ing that flashes over the valley. Through the j ether the blue bird zooms. On the brushpile, thawing his rusty hide, reclines the moccasin, j And then at night you can hear the bullfrog chant in the meadow, or the whipporwill chatter j on the ridge, and listening closely the croon of the smiling water as it slips through the ivies. Yes, sweetheart, it is springtime in the Swar ries. Come on. You Can't Fool the Farmer. i I The people of North Carolina are not partic-! ularly interested in either the political irregu-| larities of Ickes, or the party expediences of Jim Farley. ) But they do feel a concern over the record of their Senators who might want to go back to .Washington sometime. The fai'mare certainly taking a clear focus' of Senator Bailey 'and his alliance with Glass and By id and Mcßeynolds and Talmadge to thwart the President in his honest efforts to • help tho men of the soil. The Senator's diver sions at Chapel Hill will not obscure the real issue. # jj You can't fool the tobacco growers of North/ Carolina with smoke-screens. They look through, having suffered so much. I 1 f : ;■ _ i' ; 1 Envisioning Stokes r j. jl From a highway standpoint we need: ■ A; GOOD road from Meadows to Germanton. j A GOOD road from Pine Hall via Sandy Ridge to McHone's. A GOOD road from old Campbell postoffice, connecting with 89 at or near R. W. George's. A GOOD road from Pilot Mountain running east through our beautiful mountains via Vade Mecum, Moore's and Piedmont, thence from Danbury straight to Madison. The powers that HAVE BEEN have neglected Stokes. .(• Why? r • j. There was nobody on hand to take the part of le scarlet-topped child. - , Give Stokes her birthright. II Duce had a narrow escape from being at tacked by a vicious bull the other day. Fortun ately the bull was rescued by some police and soldiers before it was gored. .v ITIE DANBURY REPORTEB Sympathy For Dr. McDonald.

A FIRE A MINUTE DON'T LEAVE SMALL CHILD | RUN ALONE AT HOME. Tragedy after tragedy has been . recorded where an untended child has been either killed or disfigur ed for life by fire. A recent case is cited by the Industrial Com mission of Wisconsin. A boy of four and his brother of 6 months were left in the house when the parents went visiting. The boy pushed the baby buggy contain ing his brother too close to the « heating stove. A blanket caught . fire, and the infant was fatally . burned. [' Other accounts tell of fires i started by children playing with matches. In still otter incidents a stove door Is opened or lids , lifted off by the child and fires are Started. Fatal resttita have often followed the poOring of , kerosene on a fire by a child. An , small children love to play with [are, aad BO precaution' should . be overlooked in restraining' , them. Parents should immediately i take two steps. First, never leave your children alone at home. Second, do the simple and inex -1 pensive things nectessary to the elimination of common firs haz ards. All fireplaces should be screened. Clothes should be hung at a safe distance from pipes and ■ stoves. All heating equipment 'and adjuncts should be period -1 ically inspected and overhauled. Continuous care should be taken in handling and storing inflam mable liquids. Waste of all kinds such as papeie and rags, should be disposed of or stored in metal ' containers. The wiring of elec tric appliances should be checked occasionally—a frayed or twistei cord can cause short circuits fol lowed by fire. Every minute a fire breaks out in America. Two-thirds of all | those fires occur in homes. Will jyour home be on that list this year—and will you and your fam ily be subjected to a menace that i t may take life, due primarily to your own carelessness ? i Virginia Weds in North Carolina and V ice Versa. i While North Carolina couples : go to Virginia to be wedded, the opposite also happens.
