Silenced. (Union Republican.) Thu Danbury Reporter in f double-barrelled editorial in th-. issue of July 1, called Stokes county "the red-headed step child." Why? Because the Roo3e volt alphabetical commissions with its numerous ramification.' and the Hocy administration with lots of favors to bestow had passed poor old Stokes by, and this in face of the fact that for the past few years Stokes ha 3 deserted her timc-honoited tradi tion and strayed off after strange gods politically. The Reporter Says: "A cogent subject for investiga tion might be; 'What in the h— is the matter with Stokes coun ty? Why is Stokes the red hjadej step-child in the family of North Carolina counties? Why in the dispensation of honors, de serts, rowards and emoluments from the State and federal ad ministrations, is Stokes always forgotten or ignored? And why sit '4e supine >and indifferent? Is there no native pride, patriotic consciousness or cave-man resent ment left? You ask what, where for, why? Anj the answer is: Our district judge is a citizen of Surry. Our solicitor is a citizen of Rockinghiam. Our district highway commissioner is a citizen of Wilkes. Our district prison supervisor tliv.is in Iredell. Our district highway engineer lives in Forsyth.

President of the NI"V York World's Fair 1939 Corporation, points out that the commercial conse quences of the international exposition under cons'ruction in New York City are so great and important that they alone would justify the active participation of svery state in the nation.

"The great American mar ket with its tremendous consumer pur chasing power will be represented by these visitors. They will comprise a true cross-section of America." The World's Fair, according to Mr. Whalen, will be a magnificent spectacle, entertaining and instructive. It will at tempt to answer the questions: "What kind of a world have we built? What kind of a world ere we building? What kind of a world can we build?" With collateral improvements, it will repre sent a total investment of more than $125,000,000 by the Fair Corporation and the governmental, industrial and othe: participants. The Fair site park is a tract of 121013 acres, almost at the geograph ical and population centre of New York City.

THE DANBURY REPORTER Nations of World Allot Year 1939 To New York Fair World Exposition Already Growing Up; Seeks Active Participation of State NEW YORK, (Special).—The New York World's Fair. In which every state in the nation must inevitably take small or prominent part, is out of its infancy. Preparatory construction goes on night and day at the Pushing Meade w Site nf 1218'4 acres at the geograpivcal cen tre of New York Citv A steady flow of activitier and announcements emanates from the Fair Corporation neadquarters on four floors of the Empire State build ing. Judging from 'll of these, the Fair Is a lus'y. growing institution that will reach full maturity—no question about it—bv the scheduled opening day. April 30. 193!). The task of grading the site is about half completed. Battalions of men with trucks have already moved over 3.000.- 000 cubic yards of dry flil in the process of turning the waste marsh land, of the Flushing River basin into park ground. Other battalions are scooping out "mead ow mat" for use -a fertile top soil for the madt lands, and in so doing excavate the beds for the two large lagoons fea tured in plans far the Fair. The first of the 300 structures which, according to estimates, will house the 1939 Fair, has been completed and is r:ad. for occupancy. This is the head quarterj building for the field forces of today and the employment department of the exoosition period. Scheduled for early in the new year Is the start of actual construction of the 5900.000 Administration building. The de signs for this structure, let under ar chitectural contract a few weeks ago. are gearing the day nf their approval in the Corporation's ofllces. Upon completion of this building, late In August. 1937. the Fair headquarters, bag. baggage and sales offices, moves to the exposition site. "The most splendid and significant edi fice projected for the 1939 international exposition." the Theme building, as de scribed at Fair headquarters, is also well along in its contractual period. The esti mated cost of this grea' building for the "Thematic Centre" of the exposition is set at $1,200,000. The preliminary designs are to be finished in about eight weeks and the final plans submitted within four weeks thereafter Construction is sched uled to start immediately the designs are completed. From this Theme centre will radiate all that is to be the 193 D Fair as con ceived by its fv. jtideiv and rendered into concrete terminology and mode! by the Fair's Rnard of Design "Our job from now on is to give phys ical expression to the plan and theme of the Fair as announced and as set down on paper in our headquarters." says C.rover Whaien. President of the Fair Corporation. "Starting next April 1. we plan to com plete the design of one major building every ten days for a period of seven months. In all. we expect to design no less than 30 major buildings to house the exhibits from every part of the world. Some 300 structures, in all, are planned for the Flushing Meadow site, within a few minutes* ride from Manhattan." Without solicitation on the part of the Fair, more than 255 American business house and instituttions have begun pre liminary conversations regarding their participation and are already planning exhibits. Five of the great nations of the world have already assured the Corpora tion that thev would erect their c.vn buildings, while no less than 32 other na tions have informally indicated their desire to participate. And then, on top of ail ihis display of keen interest, comes the announcement that the International Convention Bu reau. meeting in Paris, has allocated the year 1939 to the New York Fair. This means that the New York Fair has ex clusive ranking as the "one international exposition" of 1939, and assures It of the active support of the 21 nations signing the agreement. President Roosevelt has just extended official invitation to the nations of the world. Governor Herbert H. Lehman, of the host State ol New York, has extend ed invita'ion to the governors and resi dents of 47 states. Grover Whaien. like wise. has invited the governors in a let ter pointing out that "the commercial consequences of the New York World's Fair are so groat and important that they alone would justify the active participa tion of every state."

New Miracles Of The - Photoelectric Cell By James D. Purdy Director, Schools of Electrical Engineering, International Correspondence Schools ASTRONOMERS at the Wash burn Observatory, Wisconsin, are testing the use of a photoelectric cell as an automatic guider for the observatory's giant telescope, thus relieving them of the onerous task of keeping the telescope trained on a particular star during the hours required to take a photograph. The light of the guide star is divided into two beams of equal brightness which are directed onto the light sensitive surface of the photoelec tric cell. If the telescope swerves in any degree from the proper posi tion one beam becomes brighter than the other. This variation in bright ness resulting in an electric pres sure in the cell, starts a motor which swings the telescope back into position. ¥ # * A photoelectric cell device has been developed for use at dangerous highway intersections und curves to check motorists who drive at ex cessive speeds. Two "electric eyes," set half a mile apart and connected with an automatic timer, measure the speed at which the car is travel ing. If the speed is excessive the de vice flashes a signal ahead of the driver, warning him to slow down before the intersection or curve is reached, e • S4 .. YOUR CHILDREN'S FEET AND THEIR CARE: THOSE precious little feet of children mothers so love to fondle! Have you ever stopped to think how delicate they actua'ly are? During the tender ytlrs, instead of a solid foot structure, the little feet of children are mere ly 52 bony masses which do not eyen appear united, but as the child grows these little masses enlarge and as sume proper ahape, gradually meeting each other. Then they form the arches of the feet. It takes ten years before tb:- general structure of the feet is completed, although certain details of the great heel bone are not perfected until after the twentieth year. Imagine it! Twenty years to grow a foot. No wonder it is so im portant to take good dare of them. See The New Fall Line of TRUSHAPE SHOES FOR CHILDREN'S SHOE DEPT. J/,c ANCHOR c?«.
