The Danbury Reporter N. E. PEPPER, Editor and Publisher Issued Wednesdays at Danbury, N. C., and entered at the Danbury poatoffice as second class matter, under act of Congress. Danbury, N. C., May 16, 1940 PALAVER OVER SALIVA Demise from an infiltration of the hydropho bic genn is said to be anything but a pleasant sensation. The last acts of those unfortunates who have experienced it suggest that a si »w toast at the stake would be preferable. But the a vera ere owner of a dawg does not be lieve in rabies—yet most of them believe in rab bits. "They ain't no such thing. They want nothin' a matter with that dawg, less he had the black tongue or runnin' bark or sumpen. That dawg want mad." Yet expert neighborhood opinion is sometimes disputed by the State chemist, and his verdict usually frightens the victim to the blunt needle in the abdomen. In communities where dawgs swarm it is noth ing but natural that a dawg psychology should become almost legal tender. In such a commun ity it is not safe to kick the dawg. If he don't get you, his master will. The medico-scientific theory of rabies is not at all popular there. People like to think of pleas ant and agreeable things and not adverse isms. Dawgs are dawgs. There are many kinds of them rampant Houns and fice, curs and mon grels, big dawgs and little dogs, fancy dawgs and plain, dawgs long and lank, dawgs short coupled and diminutive, dawgs with sleek and glossy hair and mangy dawgs with raw scars on their backs, dogs that stay home o'nights (when they are fastened) and dawgs that raid hen coops and explore back yards, dogs that come under your window and bark all night at the moon between scratches, keeping you awake; dawgs that wag their tails when you speak and dawgs that snap at you when you snap your fin ger at them. And there are dawgs that run rab bits all night and make the owner think they i re fox-chasing. But they are all dawgs in a polygot, multitu dinous aggregation, and are a menace to the health and comfort of the community. "Every time I come to town Somebody keeps kicking my dawg around; \ Makes no difference if he is a hound, r Gotta stop kicking my dawg around " BLITZKRIEG Senator Thomas of Oklahoma says the United | States, which now has probably 2,500 war planes, should be supplied with 2,000 combat planes within the next 12 months. Senator Thomas is chairman of the Senate Ap propriations Military Sub-Committee. He is in a position to guard the safety of America. God help America when she entrusts her institutions, her people and their liberties to the Thomases and their co-innocents who do not have sufficient ?»ense to define a Blitzkrieg. Sense means the ability to sense. And what is a Blitzkrieg? It is a Movement or a Thing. It is a hurricane of steel and fire and vengeance and poison. It is an irreconcilable entity that estops all known doctrines and methods of stop. Out of its path it sweeps those who would impede its devastating progress—armies, nations, neu tralities, protests or prayers. It scorns all con siderations of right and justice, it scruples at no inhuman act, it despises mercy or innocence, it defies man or God. Watch the pins fall before the onrushing Ball- Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Norway, Lux embourg, Belgium, Holland—and shall we say England and France? Some high military au thorities believe the war will be over in 60 days, And where do they go from there? Can Senator Thomas and Company—custo- THE DANBURY REPORTER Vote For O. H.

Can their credulous consciousnesses visualize the . length of the exposed coasts of America, or the vast frontiers of the western hemisphere, if they are to be satisfied with a program of two thou i pand combat planes when Hitler's factories are producing upwards of 3,000 a month, and now '• Hitler has a fleet of more than 20,000 against 3 'England's and France's 8,000? A year ago Britain and France—the two great democratic empires of Europe—sat secure and J happy as they thought in their strength and prestige.
