~ ~ Mfc -mm " " ,TV i ODDS AND ENDS We first made our appearance in the Journalistic world by selling the Saturday Evening Post . . . And al though we put in months of stren nous effort, we never won a bicycle . . . Years later we submitted a car toon to the Greensboro Dally News. It was published, and did we high hat folks! That was probably the proudest moment of our life, to date . . . From the age of 14 on our sole ambition was to become a cartoonist. A correspondence course costing,the amazing sum of 125 for 20 lessons started us on our Way and things went nicely until we reached the aixth lesson. ' We never did get past that lesson. Every time we would submit drawings on it they were sent back to be done over again. Finally we gave up and quit. We couldn't stand spending so much for postage. But we didn't give up our desire to cartoon. Finally, when older, came a Job in the art department of DISTRESS AFTER MEALS Relieved By Black-Draught "I had sour stomach and gas," writes Mr. Jess Higgins, of Daw aonville, Ga., "and often I would have bilious spells. I read about Thedford's Black-Draught and be gan to take it. It relieved me of this trouble. I keep It all the time now. I consider It a fine medicine. I take a pinch of Black-Draught after meals when I need it. It helps to prevent sick headache and to keep the system In good order." Get a package at the store. Try it I, Now you can pet Black-Draught in the form of a SYRUP, for CHILDMN. Eyes Examined Office: Glasses Fitted BUdn National Bank Bid*. DRS. GREEN and DEANS \ OPTOMETRISTS Office open daily for optical repairs and adjustments of all Examinations on Tujewdays and Fridays 1 to 5, 7 to 8:80 P. M. % • . i i Back of Many A Business- Is a little book that bears si lent witness to aspirations, strivings, small successes —each a rung in the ladder of fortune # We Pay 4 Per Cent Interest Compounded Quarterly BANK of EL KIN U. S. GOVERNMENT DEPOSITORY i .V • . ( the North State Engraving company, of Greenßboro. . ..We worked under the direction of a real commercial artist who had studied in Scotland and England, not to mention New York. . . In our spare time we did an occasional cartoon for the Daily News and our second proudest mo ment was when a 4-column cartoon welcoming Colonel Charles A Lind bergh to' Greensboro, whs published on the front page . . . We stayed up half the night to get the first edition off the pre&. About two weeks la ter we got fired. Next came a job in the traffic of fice of the A. & Y. Railroad which lasted approximately six weeks until we landed on the staff of the Greens boro Daily Record as cartoonist, photographer and whatnot ... It was then our ambition to cartoon was realized. For over a year we drew a daily cartoon which appeared on the editorial page and for the week-end edition we did a six-column strip depicting the news events of tbe past week . . . The Gab Bag, running in" The Record at that time, v/as sort of an orphan. The space was there to fill and first one and then the other filled it from day,to day, accompa nied by much grumbling. . . Finally it was turned over to us amid the cheers of those who considered it drudgery. We've had it every since. When the Record was bought by the Daily News, we were again foot loose and weary. Perhaps we should not have drawn that cartoon of Mr. THE ELKIN TRIBUNE. ELK IN, NORTH CAROLINA Jeffress a few weeks before the merger. Maybe we shouldn't have made his nose so big. Anyway, it was a darn good likeness. Came days of tramping the streets wondering what was to become of a wife and two kids (We finally took them home to papa) . . . Then a job at ten whole dollars a week in a commercial film studio . . . However, due to a fondness of the boss for attempting to invent such things as sound recording and talking pictures which had already been invented and perfected long agtf), justness dwindled and again it was the pave* ment. (Kindly pardon an old man's tears.) ————* 'I Next came a job at last upon the Durham Herald-Sun to fill a position during the absence of a regular staff man who waß in Raleigh cov ering the doings of the legislature. For months we covered police court, wrote feature Btories for the Sunday edition, and made photographs of all the college football games . . . Then the legislature gave up, ex hausted, and the regular man re turned to the fold, and there you are. Everyone knows where we are now with the exception—we hope— of a few sheriffs and minor police officials. , • * ♦. PLANS MISCARRIED While working in Durham we at tended the electrocution of a man in the electric chair at the Btate prison. And what impressed us most was the calm way in which the warden chewed his tobacco while strapping in the victim and adjust ing the death cap. Shortly after this electrocution we made plans 'to attend another. The young man who was to be the vic tim was being tried at the time. But he got off with 15 years. Those who are unused to the scene of an electrocution are "Ad vised to take a dose of ammonia be fore entering the death chamber. Due to the smallnesss of the room witjiessses are forced to stand with ing a few feet of the chair. Big, heavy leather straps, several inches wide, are required to strap the victim in the chair, so strong is the surge of the current. But let's get on a more pleasant BUbject— like universal cancellation of debts, or something. * * * ALONG MAIN STREET Never see Duke Ward but what he wants to "borrow" a cigarette. . . Somehow Q. Snow has never seemed the same since the wooden awning over his store front crashed and broke a plate glass window . . . Wbnder what they'll ever do about Choate and Browne pharmacy? . . . A number of local stores and other businesses would do a better busi ness if they didn't allow such a crowd of loafers all the time . . . D. Holcomb may not realize it as yet, but he had a real job wished off on him when he was made chairman of the Associated Charities. We expect Marion Allen to have a nervous breakdown any minute as the result of his year as head of the organiza tion . . . You seldom hear George Royall talking hard times—unless mayhaps he is talking to himself . . . Doc Abernethy takes spells of wear ing his little cap. One day he looks like a druggist and the next like a preacher . . . Les Aldridge is per haps thinking of planting something in his front yard . . . Jake Brown has gone into the jigsaw business, having made a jigsaw out of an old sewing machine, a piece of pipe and a Popular Mechanics. So far only half the population has tried it out. « • • THIS AND THAT Dixie Graham, city tax collector, was said to have sold a city auto mobile tag the other day. • • * We understand that after Decem ber, 1933, he is going to make a 50 per cent, reduction in the price of the present tags. Sorta stage a clearance, or somthinge. » » • Eddie Cantor said the other night that he liked his new washing ma chine all right, only everytime he got in it the paddles knocked him down. • • • . Station G-A-B, broadcasting on a roast to roaat cookup, now Bigning off. THE BEAUTY SHOW It is going to prove very difficult to write anything about Elkin's first beauty show because v.ne wise crack from this direction would mean off would come a head. And useless as it In, we rather have a liking for ours. Frankly, and no offense meant to anyone, we'arc under the impression that each aind everyone of the girls who appeared, looks far prettier as seen going about their everyday life here iu Elkin and. Joneaville, than they appeared upqn the theatre stage. Maybe It was the lights and the fact that .we were sitting on tbe floor In the crow loft, but that's the way itappearedto us. Bot one thing remains to make the entire, event a huge snceeae. And \ that's for some movie company to| sign up "Miss Elkin, 1933'*, with a long term contract. It is understood that many in the audience were disappointed when Jones Holcomb failed to appear as one of the contestants. ■•• • y GOOD TALKS Corporal W. B. Lentz, of th high 7 way patrol, and Marion Allen, at torney at law, both made talks at the meeting of the Kiwanis club Friday night. Corporal W. B. Lentz, of the high way laws and Mr. Allen took his text fom the Bible. And when he got through quoting scripture show ing the source of all law, the entire club unconsciously swung into a hymn. Both speakers made interesting talks.. Still, at the close.we kept having a feeling that somewhere, somehow, something was missing. And then fight at the., last, Mr. Schaff arose to his feet and made an announcement, and the program was a successj » In conclusion we will say for Mr. Schaff's benefit that he, as program chairman for the year, has made a fine start. Only we.feel rather hurt that, in outlining his programs for a couple of months, he hasn't even mentioned giving us an opportunity to even make an announcement, much less a speech.
