porting through its foreman,
Roy G. Hill, the Davidson
county grand jury today an
nounced it had found unani
mously that sufficient evidence
had not been offered to war
rant a presentment or find a
true bill against any individual
in connection with the alleged
irregularities in the county’s
1944 general election. In a for
mal report to presiding Judge
Felix Alley, the jurors stated:
“We proceeded to go into the
report handed us by the solici
tor relative to the alleged ir
regularities in the 1944 general
election of Davidson county.
After carefully and thoroughly
reviewing the report, and all
related documents and after
examining the witnesses, wc
were unanimous in the opinion
that there was not sufficient
evidence disclosed to warrant a
presentment or find a true bill
had one been presented in the
matter."
NATIONAL
MANILA, Aug. 21. — The
world’s deadliest weapon, the
atomic bomb, has probably
made its last appearance in
this war. There is no reason
for further use of the bomb
say reliable authorities, on the
basis of'any foreseeable devel
opment in concluding peace
with Japan. The devastatini
weapon will be sheathed foi
General Mac Arthur’s occupa
tion. Plans are going forward
to make the occupation a well
co-ordinated operation involv
ing tens of thousands of
Americans. The high command
obviously would not risk car
rying atomic bombs in a bomb

DOG PROVES TO
BE REAL HERO
Saves East Bend Girl From
Being Bitten By Stray
Mad Dog Saturday
OF DALMATIAN BREED
Except for the watchfulness and
courage of Victor, a four-year-old
Dalmatian dog, Kay Frances
Gough, 12-year-old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Gough, of East
Bend, might have been bitten un
mercifully by a rabid dog.
Victor’s quick defense of the
child came about 9:00 o’clock Sat
urday morning at her home. No
one had noticed anything strange
about the actions of a stray hound
until it came onto the Gough
porch. When the girl attempted
to run it off, it turned on her
savagely.
It was then that the Dalmatian
went into action, dashing between
the child and the savage animal
in a flash, knocking it off the
porch and away from the house
into a group of neighborhood
dogs which had evidently follow
ed the stray animal, and a first
rate dog fight followed.
When the animal was killed, an
examination of its head at Win
ston-Salem disclosed that it was
rabid. As a result, about 20 dogs
and a dozen cats were killed by
their owners through fear that
they may have been bitten.
Victor, who had been vaccinat
ed against rabies some weeks ago,
is receiving supplemental treat
ment and all care is being taken
to see that he comes through
okey, although he was not bitten
or scratched during the affray.
The Dalmation is the property
of Joseph L. and Edith Womble
Dyer, who raised him from a pup
and who had boarded the dog at
the Gough home.

Disease Cured In 6
Hours By Penicillin
Since penicillin first came into
usage for the treatment of var
ious infectious diseases much
work has been done experimental
ly on venereal diseases. It has now
been proved that penicillin is in
valuable in the treatment of gon
orrhea. The Surry County Health
Department is now giving peni
cillin to patients infected with
gonorrhea. Only one treatment
is necessary in 95% of cases to
cure this much dreaded disease.
The treatment is very simple,
300,000 units being given in one
injection. This is in line with
United States Public Health Ser
vice and State Board of Health
recommendations. Clinic sched

SHOULD LISTEN
TO BROADCAST
Public Is Warned Not To Tear
Up Ration Books As They
Are Still Needed
PROGRAMS ARE LISTED
With rapid changes taking
place in OPA controls, the public
is requested by panel members of
the local OPA office to tune in on
the radio broadcasts of Chester
Bowles, OPA Administrator, for
news of vital importance to ev
eiyone.
It should be possible to get the
broadcast over the following sta
tions:
Greensboro, Station WGBG,
Monday at 7:45 p. m.; Charlotte,
Station WAYS, Wednesday at
7:45 p. m.; and Winston-Salem,
Station WAIR, Thursday at 7:45
p. m.
Ration books three and four
still have an important job to do.
The earliest time that ration
books are expected to be of no
further value to the public is the
first quarter of 1946. They are
United States currency in a sense,
just like money or war bonds, and
should be cared for in such a way
that they may not be lost or mut
ilated. Since a news story report
ed that some people have torn
their ration books to shreds now
that the war is over, the public is
being reminded of the continuing
need for these books.

Troop Landings
Are To Begin
By Air Sunday
Manila, August 22. — General
Douglas MacArthur urgently noti
fied Japan today that representa
tives of Canada, Australia, Prance,
the Netherlands and New Zealand
also will sign the surrender terms.
“The surrender instrument, a
copy of which was furnished your
representatives, will be amended
accordingly,” MacArthur said.
The message was directed to
Japanese Imperial Headquarters.
Tokyo said today that General
MacArthur will fly to the Jap
anese capital next Tuesday and
three days later—Aug. 31—will
dictate the signing of surrender
terms aboard an American war
ship in Tokyo Bay.
Enemy broadcasts also quoted
the Tokyo newspaper Yomiuri
Mochi as saying that the first
waves of occupation troops to land
in the Tokyo area will total 20,000
men. Landings will begin by air
Sunday and by sea Tuesday,
Tokyo said.
While there was no immediate
Allied confirmation of the Japa
nese reports, they possibly were
based on information brought
back to Tokyo from Manila by an
official Japanese surrender mis
sion headed by Lieut. Gen. Tora
shiro Kawabe.
Tokyo said MacArthur, as su
preme occupation commander,
will land Tuesday morning at
Atsugi (Atsuki) airfield some 14
miles southwest of Tokyo with
air-borne reinforcements for the
occupation forces.
On Aug. 31, Tokyo said, Japan
is scheduled to sign the “truce
agreement” — obviously the final
peace terms incorporating the
principles of the Potsdam Decla
ration—aboard an American war
ship in Tokyo Bay.
The broadcast did not say who
would sign for Japan, but the en
emy delegation may include Hiro
hito in addition to the Japanese
Government chieftains and the
heads of the armed services.
In addition to MacArthur and
other countries announced today,
representatives of Britain, Russia
and China will sign for, the Allies.
