Helping In Sickness
■ In offering to supply ice for needy
families during periods of sickness in
'their homes, F. P. Blair, Jr., reveals a
commendable spirit of helpfulness.
The Lions Club is sponsoring this ac
tivity and has decided that doctors who
"wsit patients in needy Homes may pre
scribe ice just as they prescribe medicine.
In this way, the club hopes to prevent
abuse of Mr. Blair’s generosity.
Physicians, we feel sure, will be deeply
grateful for their assistance for in many
instances they have been handicapped in
the treatment of their patients because
this needed it m could not be purchased
by the family.
Welcome To Dr. Allen
The announcement that Dr. Allen is to
visit our city again is good news. That
he is to deliver the literary address at our
city high school finals is news of interest
not only to the graduating class and the
school faculty, but to the citizenship as a
whole.
In visiting North Wilkesboro, Dr. Allen
comes to a city that has kept step in the
march of educational progress. We sus
pect that he took note of this when he
accepted the invitation to-speak here.
Dr. Allen is naturally one of the out
standing friends of education and a firm
believer in offering our children the great
est opportunities possible. North Wilkes
boro stands ready to gi’eet him upon his
arrival.

They Present A Problem
Chicago furnishes another gruesome
story in the death of Dorette Zietlow, tiny
blond two and a half year-old child, who
was lured from her home, placed in an
abandoned ice house and left there to die
of cold and hunger.
'The problem is furnished by George
Rogalski, 13-year-old Chicago boy, who
committed the crime.
Indifferent and unsorrowing, the boy
told the coi’oner’s jury how he took the
life of the child. The reliable Associated
Press gives the following account of the
questioning:
Asked why he enticed the child, into the
building and left her to die. George replied:
“I don’t know.”
“I w^nt to visit my aunt,” he said, ‘‘but
she wa.sn’t at home. I walked up an alley
behind Central ‘avenue and saw^ the girl and
I told her T’d give her a nickel if she would
come with me. She .said she would.
“We walked about 23 blocks and came to
the ice house. She didn’t cry. I helped, her
in the ice house through a broken window.
I hoist-’d her up into the loft-
“I uitdressed her. She didn’t say any
thing except she asked me to take her to
her grandmother. I heard something fall
downstairs, so I left.
“That was Sunday- I went back to see her
Monday and she was asleep. I wanted to
go back and see her again but I couldn’t
take any food out of the house because my
mother would have known about it.”
Asked if he had b^en alone in the offense,
the youth reph'ed:
“Yes. I 'V’"’* pl®y with other kids much.
My brothers are too old. Mostly I stay in
the house. I sweep the floors and scrub.”
What is society to do with cases of this
kind? T.he coroner's jury recommended
that the boy be held for murder and prose
cutors announced that they would ask for
s penalty of death in the electric chair.
Dwette Zietlow is dead. She died a
few hours after she was found, half starv
ed. naked, her body blue with frost bite.
Informed of her death, Rogalski com
mented indifferently, “is that so?”
What peculiar twist of the mind could
be responsible for such a crime staggers
■ the imagination. The problem of society
is to discover, if possible, such abnormal
mental conditions and to either cure the
afflicted persons or place them where they
cannot harm innocent people.
Patting the boy to death would be social
justice, but it will not prevent other
erimes of a similar nature. The criminal

ALWAYS A RIGHTEOUS MAN
Apple Blotaom Festival ^
The suggestion offered by Attorney -A.
' H. Casey that an Ai^le Blossom Festival
be held on the Brushies.wheh the orchards
are in full bloom ia“one that meets with
our most enthusiastic aimroval. 'Those to
whom the idea has been suggested are
unanimous in the opinion that a festival
of that kind would be a great success.
The time is short. Within ten days or
two weeks, the Brushy Mountains will be
clothed in the grandeur of apple blos
soms. Therefore, it was necessary that
the movement get under way before the
statemnt suggesting the festival appeared
in print. As yet there -is no definite as
surance that the festival will be attempt
ed, but the prospects are very gratifying.
This year’s event cannot, of course, be
the widely advertised affair that Wilkes
citizens should endeavor to offer next sea
son. It will of necessity be canned out
on a smaller scale than its sponsors would
prefer. But as it is often said, a child
must crawl before it can walk.
There is no better time to begin than
now. Let’s have a meeting of leading
citizens and civic organizations immedi
ately and plan the event. Let's give the
citizens of Wilkes, at least, an opportuni
ty to get acquainted with the beauties of
their own magnicent. We venture the
their own magnificent hills. We venture
the prediction that there are hundreds of
citizens in North Wilkesboro and adjoining
communities who have never gazed upon
the grandeur of the blooming apple trees
of the Brushies.
The Apple Blossom Festival should be
an annual event. Hundreds and thousands
of North Carolinians motor to Magnolia
Gardens because they do not know of the
magnificent scenery Wilkes has to offer.
Such an event will be an advertisement
that will .help the apple industry and ac- j
quaint North Carolinians with North }
Carolina. j
The Journal-Patriot urges Wilkes citi
zens to act at once. Don’t put it off until
next year. Start now. Act at once.

WAKE COUN’TY GRAND
JURY FINDS DEPUTIES
SHOULD BE DISMISSED
the fliRt line of which reads,
“The Holy Bible,” and which
contains four great treasures.
In every wicked reign there was a righteous
man of God who could be neither bribed nor in-
timidat^d. He stood) forth crying “Thus saith the
Lord,” and though the king writhed and fumed
and sought to destroy, the prophet was the vic
tor-
The first of this exalted company was Nathan,
who was court preacher in the reign of David-
When that mighty monarch had; .stolen the wife
of the brave soldier Uriah and compounded the
crime by sending Uriah into the front line of the
battle, Nathan appeared at the court and an
nounced that he had come to tell the king a
story. There were two men in a certain city, he
said, the one rich, having many flocks and herds,
and the other so poor that he possessed only one
little ewe lamb. And the rich man. desiring a
banquet, had spared all of his own big flocks
and appropriated the poor man’s one lamb-
And Davidi's anger was greatly kindled
against the man; and he said to Nathan, As
the Lord liveth, the men that hath done this
thing shal} surely di“.
And Nathan said to David, Thout art the
man.
Picture to your.self the spectacle. The king on
his golden throne surrounded) by his lords and
soldiers; the penniless preacher, clothed in rough
.skins, with no power but Truth, no protection
but the flaming sword of moral courage. “Thou
art the man.” The effect was immediate.
And David said unto Nathan, I have sinn
ed against the Lord. And. David fasted, and
went in. and lay all night upon the earth.
-After Nathan came El’jah the Tishbite, a
hairy man, living alone in the woods, drinking
the water of mountain streams, and f^ by
ravens- He it was who stood out against the.
four hundr d prophets of the religion of Baal
which the wicked Queen Jezebel hadi imported,
and challenged them to a life and death contest.
They were to build their altar and lay their sac
rifice thereon: he would lay a similar sacrifice
on the altar of the Lord. Whichever god sent
down fire from Heaven was the one who deserv
ed to be worshiped. From morning until roon the
false prophets leaped upon their altar, calling out
to Baal, while Elijah taunted them.
And it cam" to pass at noon, that Elijah
mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is
a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuinj^,
or he is in a journey, or peradjventure he
sleepeth and must be awakened.
At evening when the four hundred had proved
their inability to deliver the goods, Elijah laid
up his own altar, placed the sacrifice on it, stack
ed up the wood, and poured water over it to
make the test harder. Then he prayed.
Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consum
ed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and
the stones, and the d>ist, and) licked up the
water that was in the trench.
And when all the people saw it- they fell -
on their faces: and ^tey si^. Ths Lord, he
is the God; the Lord, lie la the God-

Raleigh, April 13.— Three
deputy sheriffs were cited by the
grand jury of Wake today for
dismissal as the result of the
jury’s inquiry into charges made
against them from the First Bap
tist pulpit and the men whose
discharge is recommended are
Deputy Sheriffs Woody Mad-
drey. Scion Williams and George
Mtichell.
The report made in Judge
Henry A. Grady’s court this aft
ernoon also suggested that the
police force should be purged of
patrolmen known to be in sym
pathy with the criminals. There
were no names. The grand jury
also recommended that “proper
action’’ should be taken against
Constables Garland Jones and
W. M. Shelton.
Sheriff Turner Cleamed
The jurors expressed their be
lief that Sheriff Turner was in
nocent of any knowledge as to
how these deputies have acted.
There wa.s a sort of left-handed
prai.se of Commissioner J. H.
Brown, of the Department of
public safety. The jurors believ
ed hi.s intentions to be good, but
thought he mixed with the
wrong politicians.
Tonight Sheriff Turner said
the deputies and constables are
resigning. It is unlikely that they
will be prosecuted. The jury was
not specific in all the charges
and recommendations. Some of
the men are accused of immoral
ity. some of drinking, others of
downright collusion.
The constable. Garland Jones,
is known widely as former exe
cutioner at the state’s prison. He
alternated in liie executions first
witli Joe Stone, then with Pap
Perkins. Later Governor Ehring-
haiis stopped the $25 a throw
executions and got a regular.
Since going out as deputy Mr.
Jones has been con.stable.
Further .Action Possible
Sheriff Turner may of his own
motion proceed against his depu
ties. it was surmised tonight in
view of the sheriff’s deep feeling
over the embarrassment which
had been brought to his office.
There was a good deal of neigh
borhood vehemence toward these

The vocational agriculture de
partment at Mountain View, un
der the direction of C. R- Wright,
is putting on a demonstration with
the different varieties of lespe
deza this spring.
The object of the demonstration
is to determine how the different
varieties react to the soil and
climatic conditions of this section
and to find) the most practical va
riety for the Mountain View com
munity-
The demonstration plots have
be^n sown on the school farm.
Five different varieties were us'd
—the common lespedeza, Korean,
Koble. Tennessee 76, and Seriecea.
It is the plan of the agriculture
department to make other demon
strations later on in the year.
Probably tests will be ma' with
sweet clover, alsike clover and
red clover combined, and crimson
clover.
The senior class play, which
was given in the school auditor
