Shall We Rock Baby Back to Sleep?
It is a funny and a curious thing how prepos
terous it seems to outsiders that Stokes should
want anything.
It' the red-headed step-baby cries for its
candy, spank it back to sleep.
The Winston-Salem Journal is almost amazed
at our presumption to desire a health depart
ment of our own instead of one coupled with
Forsyth and Yadkin and dominated by Dr. Roy
Hege.
The Journal in replying to the Reporter's
criticism of Hege, says this:
"The criticism must arise from a fundamental
misconception of the extent and scope of public
health work in general, and the set-up of the
iri-county department in particular."
The Journal then goes on to illumine us as
to the sources of the health work's finances, etc.,
making a detailed exposition of facts which the
Journal is no doubt surprised to be informed
were already well known around here.
The Journal then issues this kindly warning:
"If Stokes chose to have a health department
separate and apart from the present system, it
doubtless would be accorded the privilege, bur
that department would cost it many times five
hundred dollars if it operated full time, was
properly staffed with efficient doctors and nurs
es, and did all the things that an effective public
health service is required to do."
In our opinion if the board of Stokes county
commissioners have red blood corpuscles a-plen
ty, they will hand the dapper doctor from Wins
ton-Salem his passports. Establish at once an
individual health unit, "made in Stokes," and not
humiliate our own physicians further by making
them stand back like quacks.
If any man thinks that Stokes county can't
tret the same financial aid from federal and
State governments, and the same individual
contributions, that we have had through the tri
arrangement, let him think again.
In this way we can stand alone and preserve
our self-respect. And the expense should be
even less. . ;

illness and at thr> age of more than 80.

one of the olo'ost subscribers of this paper, and

wa-. dw.htbss a very small affair.
He v as a life long Republican, and was al
