I THE GAB BAG (By Alan Browning, Jr.) NOT MUCH TIME As it so happens, it does, for var ious and sundry reasons we have but sixteen and one-nineteenth min utes in which to get this crowning achievement of this fireside Journal down upon paper. Why we are so rushed for time, no one knows, not even Simpson or Mrs. Weir, and we were under the impression that Mrs. Weir nose everything.

To be a successful columnist, one must be able to sit down and aftei> about an hour's feverish activity, turn out something that amounts to practically nothing except a loss of valuable time.

NORTH CAROLINA bo stole io ulush shyly when on» *•- calves the plaudits of one's ad mirers. Aa for ua, we've never blushed in our life. Another thing that a successful columnist should know is how to always have aomeone around to do his spelling. Without a sturdy Triplett boy astride the linotype a > few, pacea away, this co'umn would Iperhapa look more like a Chinese puzzle than a masterful piece of journalism when it finally does reach print—and obscurity. • For a while Simpson used to be the «fficial speller of hard words but after he told us the x was silent in "accept," like in "fish," we didn't have much more use for him. Which brings to mind the full page co-operative ad which appeared in The Tribune several mouths ago under the caption: "Full Steam Ahead, Damn the Torpedoes;" Some one was remarking the other day that one of the "damn torpedoes evidently struck the Elkin National Bank In spite of'the steam. THIS AND THAT Noting by the sun dial that it is a cloudy day a#d that we have but seven and two-fifths minutes re maining before the deadline in which to end this agony, we are called upon to wonder and hope that the Lyric theatre will take pity and not show any more shorts of the glory of Notre Dame. Seems like every time we go to the movies on a pass and are all settled down to enjoy a good comedy or an animated cartoon like Micky Mouse or some thing, we get our hopes dashed by having to gaze at one of those slow motion football agonies filmed of the Notre Dame football squad. One thing that makes it hurt worser and worser is the fact that we can't de manjl our money back because we are one of those snooty parisites that ride a pass. But we're sure Louie didn't do it on purpose. • ♦ • If all the people in Elkin who are circulating false gossip about this and that were laid end to end, there would be a heck of a lot of folks lying down. *. * * NOTE TO JOBE FOREFEET Your most kind advice as to a profitable disposition of our Ford, Calamity, as published in the last spasm of the Gab Bag, was grate fully revived. Although your name is unfamiliar to us, may we assume that "Forefeet" also means two long ears and a shaved tail? Hee Haw! \• • • Ah, the clock in the steeple struck one. Good night!
