C, SEPT. 26, 1940 • * * A LOST ART. We notice bookmobiles are still operating in some counties with more or less success. A bookmobile visited Stokes neighborhoods some months ago. Evidently discouraged by iack of interest or patronage, the service was discontinued. The bookmobile disappeared some where. Reading is in a large measure a lost art now, especially among the younger people. The pres ent generation is not specially interested in any thing, being in a hurry. The habit of rushing through the country in automobiles affords ex citement and exhilaration, not conducive to the study of history, fiction or even current periodi cals. The average boy or girl never heard of Shakespeare, Dickens or Scott, and desires no in troduction. It is baseball, football, basketball or the movies. Quiet home life and culture have gone glim mering. Is it well for the country that this condition exists? One of the most learned, intelligent and vir tuous gentlemen who ever lived in Stokes county remarked to us one day that the greatest curse of the century was good roads and automobiles. What do you think about it—considering all the aspects. DANGEROUS TALK. There is suggestion from Japan of a military alliance between Germany, Italy, Spain, Russia end Japan. This threat arises from Japan's fear of the es tablishment by the United States of a military base loaned to America by Great Britain, at Sin gapore. Such a combination of European and Asiatic powers would be extremely dangerous to the safety of America. There is very little likeli hood of any combination that would include the deadly enemies, Russia and Japan, while Rus sia will never, in our opinion, join in a pact with Germany for conquest. Friction is already de veloping between Stalin and Hitler over possible spoils in the Balkans. There is one thing, however, we may as well get fixed in our systems, and that is that it will be a long time before America can ever be on a X>eace footing again. It looks like the future holds for us constant and bigger preparations for the defense of this nation against the dang ers that will be a constant threat to our safety. We may as well expect to raise giant armies, in vincible fleets of aircraft and heavy fortifica tions of our coasts. Winston-Salem Fair Wednesday, October 2nd, will be county school day at the big Winston-Salem and Forsyth Coun ty Fair. On that date every school child and teacher in all counties adjacent to Forsyth will be the guests of the fair manage ment.
