Danbury, N. C., Thursday, July 8, 1937. 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. . ; * >.M J. J. Priddy Passes. % Our good friend, J. J. Priddy, died at his home in Snow Creek township last week after a long illness and at thr> age of more than 80. Mr. Priddy was for many years a familiar figure on the streets of Danbury, where he visit ed regubrly for more than 60 years. He was one of the olo'ost subscribers of this paper, and .-•aid that lie was present when the first copy of the i was printed Jan. 25, 1872. A room in '>he o'i jourt ! -, ouse was used for the office. Mr. Pi iddv swid The newspaper's plant at that time wa-. dw.htbss a very small affair. He v as a life long Republican, and was al '••• ys v' ;;>rous in the adv/.-acy of his views on public stions. He never failed to take a firm .-• t.•:nd ■) . »!• issues coming before the people, irir >• : lit'*;-time he held a number of minor! po-iti'M's of public trust in the county. He wasj a dopvt.; for many years. We note the passing of this old landmark with \ sincere and we trust that his spirit is at ! e>-t in t! r»1 distant land to which he has gone.
