National Advertising Representative New York : Chicago : Detroit : Atfante : Phil*. 4■■ • • - Danbury, North Carolina, December 31, 1942 A BUBBLE BURSTS - Although the late Stokes "absentee ballot bub ble" was quickly punctured at Raleigh, the Un-i ion Republican of Forsyth county continues to bray loud as a jackass in a tin barn in its disap pointment. • The Union Republican exercises an imagined suzerainty over Republican political affairs and policies in North Carolina counties. At the outset of the late campaign in Stokes it ran a cock-and-bull editorial about the ter rible John Taylor political machine which it said operated in Stokes county. But when the election came on the people seemed to disregard the Winston-Salem paper's harrowing "expose" and its sinister innuendoes hinting of heinous practices by the Democrats of Stokes. The unterrified people gave a bigger majority than ever before for John Taylor and his associ ates, whose campaign was largely managed by A. J. Ellington and Gid Mitchell, members of the county board of elections. /This caused the "organ" cjf Forsyth county to throw "more fits. It probably summoned some of its Stokes satellites. There were charges of fraud and irregularities in the use of the absen tee ballots, the hoodwinking of voters, etc. "High crimes and misdemeanors" were laid at the door of Ellington and Mitchell. - i An indictment to throw these officials out was hatched up. An investigation was demanded be fore the State board of elections, under whose authority the county board serves. In boxed features on its front page and in double-barrel editorials, the Union Republican yawped and brayed. It told its readers the State board of elections would swoop down on Dan bury for the trial and distressing would be the fate of the accused officials for their nefarious activities. Over the decision by the State board in favor of the Watauga Republicans, the Union Repub lican gioated. 11 propitated Chairman Lucas of the State board. Its editorials praised him. Ex tolled him. Lauded him to the :-kies. Its leading editor'al was headed: "Lucas Shows the Way to Hon: ;-*ty." (We i:.! v l.'nion il'-i üblicaivs high opinion ui ... . i LMC js .-will entertained).

In addition to all of the above there was a vote approving the efficiency of Ellington and Mit chell. of course this was furnished by the people t; Stokes who voted for the candidates they had espoused by a majority of nearly sixteen hun dred. So bursteth the bubble, and so fizzlat out the fiasco. THE DANBURY MP6IB9HR WISHING YOU A VICTORIOUS NEW YEAR HAPPY TIDINGS FROM THE HOME FRONTS—CHEER AND HOPE FROM THE BOYS WHO ARE FIGHTING. At this auspicious time when the New Year is dawning 1 , the Reporter does not wish that its friends and readers have had a merry Christmas. It was not a time for merriment when there are vacant places in so many Stokes county homes. But we do wish for you a Victorious New Year. And the signs are great and growing greater every day that you will see a Victorious New Year. On every front the United Nations are winning. I Our great armies are marching, and on the land, I sea and air the champions of freedom and de mocracy are showing their superiority over the enemy. . : On the glowing pages of history America's sons are writing the story of their deathless deeds. • | The way is long and hard yet, but the star of hope and the sunshine of a glorious victory lead our hosts cn. | ; In Russia, 22 divisions of 300,000 Germans are cooped in a pocket from which the Russians say they shrill never escape. Great armies of the Soviets are slowly advancing 1 ail along the lines. The snows of ' he immense steppes are dyed with the blcod of the invaders. The terrible Russian winter adds its toll to the destroyed remnants of the retreating foe. , i At Guadalcanal in the Pacific and at Buna, American and Australian soldiers are driving back the Japanese and slowly breaking their hold on their unholy conquests. Every thrust made by the yellow rats is defeated. The Ameri cans have complete control of the air. Gabriel 'Heater says jubilantly we "will march into Tokyo ' and hang Tojo." o | I In Africa the legions of Eisenhower and Mont gomery and the Free French are driving the armies of Kommel into the sea. England and 'America are in complete control of the air here Jas in the Solomons. The British announce today that their air forces are now double the size of Germany's and Italy's. This does not include the 'American air force which daily grows stronger in Europe and in Africa. American Flying Fortresses are masters of i the sky everywhere. In the Pacific the Japs do not dare face them. Their air strength as well as the quality of Jap fighters is greatly weak ened and far inferior to America's. I In all the neutral capitals of the world it is now admitted that Hitler is reeling to his eternal fall. |lt is only a question of time. Many military ex perts believe the end will come this year. Months ago when the Danbury Reporter predicted Hitler would crack by Easter, 1943, these same authori ties said the war would last 3 to 5 years longer. Watch the amazing growth cf the great Ameri can armies. Watch the great fleets of battleships and merchant vessels as they splash into the water, new and modern. Hear the roar of the V lyiVrf Fortresses as they come off the assembly lines and take to the air. Great God of Hosts, be with us still lest we for pret that Thou art Victory—for the embattled : manhood of England and America fighting for truth, justice, righteousness, democracy, Christ ianity. i THE WORLD'S SAFEST INVESTMENT ■ j The Wachovia Bank & Trust Co. of Winston jSalem has invested about 70 million dollars in , war bonds. The Security Life & Trust Co. of the same city buys one million dollars worth of the ! securities. Stokes county people have been very liberal .buyers of bonds and stamps, but there are yet j many thousands of dollars hoarded. If this i money could be brought to the light and put in i IT. S. bonds and stamps, it would not onlv insure the owners the greatest safety but would be in- - terest-bearing-, and the would be J ! benefited. ' ' The great banks and insui/ance companies and millions of corporations, fir/ms and individuals •'.) throughout the nation are investing to the limit 1 in the soundest security in, the world. ; I - —— > lIIi i m iinii ■i ■ i ■ ■ ■ I Sixth Registration j _____ r The following pertinent infor mation is quoted from a Procla • nation of the President of the • United States: 7 "Tha registration of male citi zens of the United States and oth • er male persons, who shall have > attained the eighteenth anniver sary of the day of their birth dur - j ing the periods indicated below, J shall take place in the United > States between the hours of 9:00 , I m. and 5:00 p. m. on the days thereinafter designated for their • registration as follows: is I (a) Those who were born on or after July 1 ,1942, but not af- ter August 31, 1924, shall be rcg -4 islered on any day during the week commencing FRIDAY, De -1 cembcr 11, 1912, and ending f 1 THURSDAY, December 24, 1942.
