C., Thursd ay, April 30,1942 *** * • Published Thursdays ** * * * Number 3,651 SCREAM OF THE EAGLE The terrible war goes on, and it is looking dark yet on some fronts But the whole picture begins to brighten as the sweet sunshine of victory flashes anon through the rift in the clouds. There is unquestionable evidence that the Axis is cracking. We see it in Italy, where there is vast unrest among the people. The King of Italy and Mussolini are reported on the verge of hysterics. We see it in Vichy and Poland and Yugoslavia where the smouldering fires of ven geance are ready to burst forth. We see it in Germany as the Royal Air Force with fleets of air bombers constantly reinforced by American flying fortresses daily and nightly pulverize Axis war factories, docks, shipping, burning their cities. In Russia, superior manpower and superior air power (thanks to America) are checking, hold ing and thrusting back the hordes of the in vader. Russia fights to win or death. Russia fights to rid the homeland of those who would enslave her. .... "Thrice is he armed who feels his quarrel just." Millions of the Huns have fallen. Millions more will fall. German manpower daily becomes weaker. In the Pacific Achilles is watching from his tent. American power is pouring steadily into Australia. Already Mac Arthur's air forces are superior to the Japanese. At the proper time—let us hope soon—the American offensive to redeem the Philippines, to avenge Pearl Harbor, will start. The meeting called by Miss Grace Taylor, chairman, for Tuesday night was held, a large crowd attending, including committmen from every section The drive will be on from May 4 to the 9th. Stokes quota is $6,200. Let's double it, quadruple it.. We have never seen Stokes fall down yet on a worthy project. Let those who have money pledge to the limit. Pledge to the extent of your means, your sav ings. The investment is just as safe as the flag that flies over the court house, waving its red, white and blue proudly to the skies. No power in the world can tear that flag down. It is the glorious emblem of your right to live :n your own way, your life, your liberty, your pursuit of your happiness. Heaven above will help your efforts to hold this ambition. The boys are doing- theirs. You can do yours by buying- bonds—buy to the limit of your earnings and of your saving-s. American war bonds and stamps are the best buy in the world. If they are not safe, neither is your money safe, your property, your liberty, your life. As long as the Stars and Stripes wave, your war bonds are the No. 1 investment in the finan cial marts of the globe. And by the living God, the Stars and Stripes wave until the rights of mankind are es tablished forever, and the Victory of Liberty and Justice is made supreme and unshakable. EDITORIALS THE BOND DRIVE YOUR PART Get Ready To Register For Sugar Allowance May 4-5-6-7. • i Domestic users of sugar wil! register at the i r elementary schools May 4, 5, i, and 7.

It is necessary to know to the pound just how much sugar is in possession of the household. Death Of M. A. Sheppard M. A. Sheppard, aged 67, well known farmer of Lawsonville Route 1, died at his home last week of a heart attack. He had been in declining health for about two months, but death was not expected. A son of Wiley A. and Dollie Williams Taylor Sheppard, he was born in Stokes county May 9, 1874. Mr. Sheppard was prominent in the leadership of the Russc) Creek Primitive Baptist church, of which he had been a member for the past 16 years. He was married June 3, 1900, to Miss Hester Taylor, who sur vives. Other survivors include five I sons, O. C. and N. J. Sheppard, I both of Burlington, George W. ! Sheppard of Burlington, Route 3.

Armor of Raleigh; three broth ers, Walter Sheppard of Okla homa; Banner Sheppard of Lynchburg, Va., Route 5; one sis ter, Mrs. Zipparah Rhodes of Danville, Va. Funeral Bervicea were held Fri day afternoon at 2 o'clock at Ready For Any Eventuality "The indications are that the needs of the Army, the Navy, public heath and civilian popula t'ons can be met by scientific planning and conipiete eo-opera rm without any deterioration in the quality of medical education and med.cal service," said the Journal of the American Medical Assoc ation, recently. War makes heavy demands 01 American medicine. Thousands of doctors are being called to duty with the military forces. Tens of thousands of doctors are i g'ving a part of their working ' time to the Selective Service Eoards and other military and quasi-mil'tary agencies. Workers in arms industries will work long er hours at strenuous labors, and j wll require more med'eal atten tion than was necessary in peace time. But, despite all this, ex perts in the field are convinced that American medicine will meet the cr.sis with complete success. That is a fine testimonial to our system of private medicine, j Nowhere else in the world are I doctors given such vigorous train ing. Nowhere else in the world are there so many doctors. No where else in the world has such l astonishing progress been made against the bacterial killers. The average American is healthier than the average citizen of any other country. He lives a longer, happier life. And you can give American medicine much of the credit for that. The American hospital syste.n has kept pace with medicine prog ress. To meet wartime needs, in creased hospital facilities are be ing planned 'n many regions. Those ho guard this nation's health are doing a magnificent job—and they are ready for all eventualities. , i ■ ; t f "rf I j , „ "# i- 4-H Contest Posters ♦ Best In Home Life For the 20th year rural girls throughout America have the J benefit of incentives' provided in , the national 4-H girls' record , contest, in which upwards of ' 1 1-2 million girls on farms and iin vllages have taken part.

While buih'.ng for peace, th.2 contest contributes greatly to the war program by training j gills n the best use of material and financial resources productive of a high morale. It is conducted by the Extension Service. Russel Creek Primitive Baptist church, with Elder Noel Gilberts in charge. Burial was in th« church cemetery. , . ; ' » i
