LET NORTH CAROLINA BE TRUE TO ITS
COMPACT
One of those distinguished gentlemen who are
now candidates for Governor of North Carolina
could win strong support in Stckes county by as
suring our people that, if elected, he would stand
for the State's carrying out its moral obligation
to the poorer counties of the State in buildfng
county-seat to county-seat roads in North Car
olina.
This promise was made by the State in its ex
panded road policy nearly 20 years ago, and
iargely because of this promise of the State, rep
resentatives in the legislature from the poorer
counties have consistently and sincerely support
ed the State in its requests for road legislation.
Stokes county has never had a fair share of the
giant programs of road buildings in other coun
ties* We have one direct county-seat connection
from Danbury to Winston-Salem. No. 89 high
way leading practically direct to the county-seat
of Surry has never been tini&hd, but remains
partly a soil road with many dangerous curves
and heavy grades Notwithstanding the plead
ings of the people of the western section of the
county, they have never yet been provided with
a good road.
And then to the east toward the county-seat of
Rockingham, the road is crooked, ungraded and
entirely of soil—just a plain country road. Our
excellent highway forces in the county keep it in
the best possible condition. When it rains, it be
comes practically impassible in places. Madison, •
the direct Rockingham connection is less than |
20 miles distant. By detouring some 35 miles via
Walnut Cove, Madison can be reached from
Danbury over hardsurface.
The great highway system of the State in a
general sense is the glory of North Carolina, but
the State's treatment of the poorer counties is no j
feather in its cap when we consider the networks
ment roads in other counties,
of fine (and sometimes practically needless) ce-
Let the next Governor of North Carolina
pledge himself to guarantee that the State's ob
ligation to its children shall be performed.
i RADIO AND THE BLITZKREIG.
That was stirring news coming over the sound
waves this morning when the London announcer
told of the fight over the North Sea. The great
est naval battle in all history, he said, was in
progress. Two hundred and fifty warships were
in action, and more than 2,000 bombing planes.
The ether was vibrant with the kick of epic
events.
• One could imagine the blood, the drownings,
the dying when England and Germany were at
grips in the fight to the death, the desperate
.struggle of the empires.
But when the morning and evening papers
ca me, the story was not anything like sp thrill
ing, or on such stupendous scale.
Truth is often not only stranger but more elec-.
trifying than fiction. Sensation is enjoyed by the
people notwithstanding old-line newspaper 1 men
do not approve of it.
The people, who are grown up children, relish
the spice, the brilliant coloring, the piquancy of
great tales told, but the sensation must be back
ed by truth and facts.
The Associated Press, the greatest newsgath
ering agency in the world, can most always be
depended on. It is written by men trained to ac
curacy, and who are dispassionate and ofttimes
laconic in reporting the greatest news breaks of
the world.
The radio is young yet, and like a child is prone
to exaggeration. Let it keep . fiction,, out of its
news broadcasts, and give us the cold, reliable,
truth. > I
