PUBLISHED THURSDAYS The Danbury Reporter N. E. PEPPER, Editor and Publisher Issued Thursdays at Danbury, N. C., and entered at the Danbury postoffice as second class matter, under act of Congress. Thursday, Apr. 16, 1942 RURAL HALL-GERMANTON SCHOOL ROW Elsewhere in this paper we publishanaocount of a big school row before the mi«ion wherein the high schools of Geimanton, "tokes county. and Rural Hall, Forsyth county m* battling over the question of winch school shall have a certain group of pupil*. iwiding Forsvth county. , . , The possession of these students means big ad vantage to the possessor, and big huK to tu. ' 'it' seems that Gennanton has had them, and by virtue of that, and other acquisitions, has built its school to its present admirable dimensions. Sixty students mean more teachers, better ana bigger facilities. Rural Hall School deposes and says these scholars are Rural Hall's, and wants them. Ger manton buses cross the Forsyh line and go into Forsyth to get them. The contention of Germanton is that to lose these students would hurt their school. Rural Hall replies that it (Rural Hall) has been hurt for 16 years by their absence. We can well appreciate the attitude ol Germanton which is shrinking from the un desirable position which has for some time been the fate of Danbury, which loses the ad vantages of a high school in order that other schools may enjoy that privilege, although Dan bury is rightly entitled to sufficient students from its own territory to build a high school. At present Danbury has a 5-teacher school and a good one. Although it is the center of the coun ty, is geographically favored with sufficient stu dents for a high school and has ample building yet its rights are withheld to keep from hurting other schools. THE GIANT PRODUCTION OF AMERICA WILL WIN The news came out of Washington this week that we are now making 825 warplanes a week, or 3,300 per month. At the same time reliable news sources disclos ed that England's airplane production is now equal to Germany's and that within six weeks the United States would be building more bombers than Germany. Japan and Italy combined And these figures do not include Russia s vast .manufactures. Ford's Willow Run plant, largest in the world, is not yet quite ready.. Many other plants will soon he in action. ' Victory will be with those who control the air, America. England and Russia will contn 1 the air. ' t ' ' Donald Nelson says we are a little ahc;.d of schedule oward the President's program: Sixty thousand planes for 1942, 125,000 for 1943. The thing looks like this for 1943: America - 12),0i»0 England 40,000 Russia *35.000 ' Total 230,000 Hush, honey, don't you cry. NO OCCASION FOR PESSIMISM Although the news from all war fronts except Russia and Australia, is bad, there is no occas ion for undue pessimism. It will be remembered that in world war No. 1 the allies did not gain hardly a battle for nearly four years. The Kaiser's armies were terribly victorious everywhere and it was not until June, 1918, that the tide turned. That was when America got there with her ir resistible armies of nearly 2,000,000 men, and her mighty power of ships and guns. In March, 1918, the Germans almost won the war in their smash toward the English channel. Doubtless 1942 or 1943 will see the weakening of the Axis and the victorious sweep of Russia, England and America. t THE DANBURY REPORTER HARSHALi KURFEES WILL > SUPPORE FOEGER FOR CONGRESS (Winston Journal.) For one of the few times in the fast decade, the name of Mar shall Kurfees wisl not be among those listed on ballots in a coun j ty election. Kurfees. trv ng the fit of a eha.r in a Washington office to v/hich he was appointed yester day, announced firmly that he had "adjournei politics for . tiu duration." He d d not say whether for the duration of the war, or for the duration of h.s job. But then, one governs the other. "This is no time for petty poli- I tics," Kurfeei adjourned >n an interview. In the next breath he ! urged people of Winston-Salem, ! Forsyth county and the fifth dis trict to vote for Representative j John Foiger. j In the third breath and w'th !an air of "th.s hurts me worse j than it does yoj, old follow" !:=. I patted Congressional Candidate Dr. D. C. Speas on the back and STOKES-FORSYTH SCHOOL ROW j (Cot»nued from page 1) to transfer the students. We point out that our school haf been hurt foe 16 years by their absence. It isn't a matter of in jury—it's a matter of where the> should properly go."—Journal- Sentinel. KING NEWS «« (Continued from page one) dog did no damage. Mrs. William Fulk, aged about 60, died in a Winston-Salem hos pital Saturday. Surviving are several sons and daughters; the husband also survives and thre 3isters, Mrs. Minnie Kpight, Mrs H. L. Newsum and Mrs. M. E Garner, all of the King communi. ty; one brother, Edw.n Camp: bell, of King survives. Funor;i arrangements are incomplete a', this writing. Joe Alley, Fount Mozer anc Zeb Hall; all of King, have ac cepted pos.tions at Camp Butnei to aid in the construction of thu r.ew camp. An automobile being driven b> Ald.ne Moore failed to take a curve on the Bethania road 'just south of town Saturday morning and turned over. Fortunately Mr. Moore was not hurt and his car only- slightly damaged. The stork makes a s.ight re port for last week: Mr. and Mrj. Roby Hawks, a son; and Mr. and Mrs. Elwood Smith, a son. Granville Kapp of Mebane, for merly of K.ng. spent a few day 3 with relatives here last week. R. B. Reynolds, who holds a defense pos'tion at Wilmington, spent the week-end with rela tives here. Bill Cain has returned to Bal timore after being the guest of relatives here for a few days. MAN WANTED for Rawleigh Route. Real opportunity for r*ght man. We help you get started.

NCD-55-0, Richmond, Va. drew a political jack-knife across Speas' political jugular w.th: One of the other candidates "is an especially good friend of mine, but I feel l.ke the people of Winston-Salem, Forsyth county and the rest of the district would not be wise to ch i.\,: tlu ir rep resentative in Co.igress dur ng these crucial times. Backs Foiger In endoising Foiger, Kurfce said that in th» lust fo.v w.ekf he had had "the opportunity t-j see Congressman Foiger in har ness" and that "Foiger gave due cons deration I. tli • i:ir.:,;es of his constituents to those in the higher stations in life." This explains to some extent the fact that in th.s usually hot political time of year, Kurfees' ruddy and gently perspiring face has not been seen in confidential proximity to a mult.tude of poli tical faces in and about the court house. It also explains the fact that once, when Foiger wrote a letter in Washington, Kurfees beat th.j letter to Winston-Salem, called the addressee sleepy-eyed to the telephone and reported to hirn almost verbatim the contents, which the addressee later veri •ied from the letter itself. It may also expla.n the fact that Kurfees, who has recently sold (1) candy, (2) sox and ho siery, (3) novelities, has been-ap pointed to a post in the "publica tions divisions" of the adjutant general's office, War Department.
