McLean to make a study of school needs? Naturally, none of the members of the commission will give any in dication, and C. C. t'arr, of Wilm- I ington, chairman, frankly says that he has no idea what action the com mission as a whole will take on the question. And this same stand is taken by j Dr. A. Y. Joyner, executive secre tary, and Dr. Fred \V. Morrison, the assistant secretary. So although public opinion generally has largely taken it for granted that the com mission would undoubtedly reeo.m- j mend the eight months term, it ap pears that there is by no means a unanimity of opinion among the | members of the commission as to' this question. However, it is true that very little attention has been devoted to the subject of the longer school term by the commission as a whole, pending the submission of the re port of Dr. Morrison, who has now for nearly six months been assem bling material bearing on the long er term, and who will submit his final report to the entire conimis- j sion at its meeting Monday, Janu ary ,'5. There is no doubt but that the submission of this report will bring the matter to a head, and that the commission will act on the eight months term question as soon as the report has been examined. (Stokes Towns Officially Placed In United States Highway Lexington, Dec. 2l>.—N. C. high way No. fill, from Lexington to Mt. 1 Airy, has been officially designated ias a United States highway, it is shown on the new map issued by the I'. S.

King, Pilot Moun tain, Mount Airy and llillsville. is designated on the I'. S. highway's map as No. 121. Eight Months School Instead Of Six Why can we not have an eight months term in all schools of Stokes HHinty just the same as in a part of them? .lust because we do not get behind the wheel and push, that's why. We have as tine a bunch of boys and girls in the six months schools as there is anywhere, and we are in great need of a longer term be cause we can hardly make a grade in six months. If we do we have to get down and scratch as the saying ! is, and it is really hard on us. Come on citizens of Stokes and let's get an eight months term in all the schools next year. KARL COLLINS, Ninth Grade, Francisco. | N. C. Produces More Tobacco and Peanuts Than Any State Raleigh, Dec. 27.—North Carolina 1 last year produced more tobacco j and peanuts than any other State! ranked second in the production of soy beans and sorghum, and thir l • in the production of sweet potatoes,' the co-operative crop reporting ser-' vice of State and Federal depart ! ments of agriculture today report ed.

NO MORE CEMENT UNTIL SPRING Only Little More Than Mile of, Danbury-Walnut Cove Road Has Been Poured. The Martin Construction Co. has suspended paving on the Danbury Walnut Cove highway until next spring, after having poured about one and a quarter miles of the road extending from the end of the con-1 crete in Walnut Cove to a point 1 near Pink Fulk's store. It is learned that this short stretch of concrete will be opened for traffic in a couple of weeks, j However, the road from Meadows 1 to the end of the concrete has re- • cently been regraded and will not be ! navigable as long as it continues to , rain, so that it will probably be' necessary to use the detour from ' Meadows to Walnut Cove through j out the winter months.

In my subject this week uncrown ed Kings or unknown heroes, I wish to include the family physician. Just across the street from where I live is the home of one of these I heroes, uncrowned kings. When : t | comes to being a genuine sport he I cannot be beaten. Oftentimes in the i dark of the night 1 hear a voice full |of sadness and anxiety call l)r! Dr! | Uusually in answer to the second or j third call there comes m reply a cheerful voice from within tho house, the caller then hurriedly tells I the Dr. that some member of the | family is sick, a baby or perhaps the ! mother. No mater how dark the | night how muddy the roads, or ho»v : fast the rain is falling, the Dr. j says 1 will he right over. The caller turns to go home a great weight lifted from his breast. ! In a short while the Dr. arrives gives the needed medicine, assures the family that his patient will soon be resting easy. The Dr. returns to his home, in the meantime the medicine has the desired effect. The patient is soon resting, the family Igo to bed and go to sleep. The I Dr. has reached home, is in bed, | and has just fallen asleep only to have another experience from an | other caller similar to the one men i tioned above. The Dr., the hero and thi' uncrowned King and sport com bined again answers the call. Now I am writing this hoping that someone who reads this will become a sport, and treat their family physician a.- thej should. In nine cases out "f t-:i when you nee I a Dr. in the night you need him the evening before. Ymi have your automobile gone over, bolts tighten ed. carbon removed, you dont wait foi the break-down t > use your garage man. Employ your doctor to keep you well. Call the doctor in the night if you need him, but use him to keep you well. REV. 11. \V. HUDSPKTH. Danbury, N.
