PUBLISHED THURSDAYS Tlie 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. National Advertising Raprmantativa Thursday, Apr. 23, 1942 _ . . . ii i APRIL SHOWERS ON NIPPON Drifting' out of the Cnina Sea on Sunday last came news that was unction to the souls of mil lions of Americans. News from distant islands where the frondied palms dreaming in the oriental sunshine were swayed by blasts of lyddite, and where giant bombs scattered terror and death to uncounted Japs, shattered industrial plants, uprooted war factories. It was the foretaste of awakening veng eance of the stupendous power of America wielded by that genius of battle, Douglas Mac- Arthur. Remembering the tragedy of Pearl Harbor, remembering* the unparalleled suffering- and de votion of the heroes of Bataan and Corregidor, Mac Arthur struck home in his first gesture of vengeance. The high ups of the Jap high command have not yet found out what it's all about. Consterna tion hit their councils. The fanged brute who has chosen the White House at Washington as the place where he will dictate peace terms, was dumb. Where did the planes come from? It was 1000 miles to China, 650 miles to Vladivostok, 2900 miles to Dutch Harbor, 1700 miles to the Philip pines, 3300 miles to Australia, 3700 miles to Ha waii-. .r- - Were they from carriers in the sea? Washington was silent, Australia was silent. After the bombardment which lasted several hours, burning the bamboo houses, paralyzing the inhabitants, the high command said the damage was infinitessimial, only a hospital blasted and a hundred or two children killed coming from school. This lying propaganda did not fool the world The world knows that vast damage was inflicted on the criminals of the Pacific. And hordes of yellow reptiles scampered about stunned and amazed at the exploded divinity of their bastard god, who was supposed with his i at empire to be impervious to harm. LOCATING THE SMOKE 'Columnist Cannon, one of the bright young men on the staff of the, Greensboro News, is cur ious about the recent fire in our mountains. He has the following, under the heading of "Where Was the Fire?": "The Danbury Reporter, Stokes county jour nal, which has kept its subscribers informed on the events of importance in its neighborhood for lo these many years has viewed with a great deal of complacency the reports scanned in some of the furrin* journals about its imminent destruc tion. Taking exception to what it termed an 'Or son Welles description' in which 'hundreds of people were pictured fighting back the raging flames, thousands of acres of valuable timber being destroyed, volunteers rushing in from Madison, Walnut Cove, Stuart, Va., and other neighboring towns to save the capital of Stokes,' the Reporter calmed the fears of its clients as follows: 'This time it was about the average. A hundred or two cords of wood were destroyed and several hundred acres of woodland, often burned over before, were burned again. One old abandoned log- house half a mile *Vnm town was consumed. But little excitement in Danbury and but little danger.' "Anyway the Reporter probably surmises that THE DANBURY REPORTER if there is to be any saving of the Stokes county seat the job ought first to be entrusted to Sheriff John Taylor and his Democratic organization. Salvation is mostly a matter of politics every where, isn't it? Nevertheless you can't blame some of the rest of us after seeing so much smoke rising in the Sauratowns from wondering if there was not a little fire there." In order to assist in these speculations and in quiries, we would suggest that March winds would hardly permit our smoke to drift as far as Greensboro, and that what Cannon saw was probably that smoke screen from the lately banked fires around the Guilford county court house.
