C., Thursday, Feb. 11, 1937 TO BE ERECTED AT COUNTY HOME A TUBERCULOSIS HOSPITAL OR COTTAGE FOR THE TREATMENT OF TUBER CULOSIS PATIENTS WHO ARE UNABLE TO OBTAIN ADMITTANCE IN STATE IN STITUTIONS MISS NICHOLSON LEADING THE MOVEMENT. Miss Katherine Nicholson, one of the county's efficient nurses, is taking the lead in a r,ovemen l for the early erection of a tuber culosis hospital or cottage o« the grounds of the Stokes County Home. The movement has the strong endorsement of both state and .ounty authorities, as well as all persons who are interested in the public health. The building pre ?osed to be constructed will be of dimensions sufficient to accomodate 18 to 20 tubercular patients, both white and colored, who for any cause may be unable to obtain admis sion at the state sanatoriums. The labor for the enterprise will be furnished by the WPA, while the material will be purch ased with possible help from the county commissioners, and from other sources. Private contribu tions from individuals will be sol-j icited, while the schools, clubs, j etc., will be invited to donate; funds realized from entertain ments given for this purpose. It is known that there are no state funds available for this purpose.

Au Re voir It is with a heavy heart and tears in my eyes as I make ready to depart from Danbury and Stokes county and friends whom I have learned to love and trust. During two and one-half years here, as employee of this paper, I have formed the opinion that this county, for the most part, is made up of "Blue Ribbon" ' men and women and boys and girls—First class citizens with high ideals bulging in their jcraniums; striving each day by . their labors, to make Stokes one ; of the mo3t desirable counties in North Carolina for people, who ( are people, to live in and enjoy. And that Danbury, the little I town buried beneath the shadows of Sauratown mountain, holds within its borders a sweet and lovable citizenship which cannot be excelled by any town of its size in the State. The mountains, with their scenic beauty; the people, who have displayed their Southern hospitality on many an occasion and the efficient public officials, who helped make my stay here most enjoyable, will live long in :my memory and shall be j cherished throughout the coming years. Although leaving here this week, having accepted a position with the Mocksville Enterprise, Mocksville, N. C., I'll not say goodbye forever, for I'll be com ing back from time to time; but instead may it be, just adieu until we meet again. FRED P. CARTER. E. Y. Floyd To Discuss 1937 Farm Program Mr. E. Y.
