m ■■ ' i. AND ON SUCH A COLD NIGHT, TOO! A goodly number of Kiwanians journeyed down to Winston-Salem Monday night over a week ago, to take in the Forsyth County fair as the guests of the Winston-Salem Ki wanis club, and to say that they were royally entertained would be putting it mildly. After a banquet at the Robert B. Lee hotel, the visiting Kiwanians were put aboard a fleet of Grey hound busses and driven in style to the fair grounds to winess a preview of the Winter Garden Revue, staged in front of the grand stand. The busses carried us all Into the fair grounds and then the leader of the group directed the way through the rear of one of the midway tents, the crowd emerging upon the mid way from the tent entrance. And you may imagine their surprise, when, upon turning to look back at the tent from which we had Just come, the following words, em blazoned large across its entrance In gaudy paint met our eyes: NUDIST COLONY. * • • MUTTER AND MUMBLE.. Could it be that some folks don't like to see their names in this col umn because the sub-head at the top reads: "Much About Nothing?" Perhaps "Nothing About Much" would be more appropriate . . .

Doc Abernethy, new ly elected superintendent of the Methodist Sunday school, is of the opinion that a chjurch is not neces sarily a place to exhibit a long face in. He evidently feels that God meant for His people to enjoy life insofar that they do so without sin and he's building his Sunday school program for the year to that end with the injection of a little life and pep that should draw attendance because folks WANT to go and not because they feel that it's their duty. In our estimation the people who go to church or Sunday school simply for show and no other rea son, are wasting their time.

That's your privilege. • • • For 30 minutes we have been sit ting here wondering how to fill up the rest of this column. What with a headache, dizzy spells, spots be fore the eyes, lumbago and gout, we are not feeling so well and what lit tle mind we've got fails to function. We've got no business writing a column, anyway. All we seem to accomplish is getting someone sore at us so what's the use of going on? Maybe we should have held on to our job of being vice-president of a bank and kept out of the realms of journalism. To write a column containinc copy with which everyone will agret a person has to use a liberal amount of soft soap. Let an idea of your own creep into print which may run contrary to the idea of someone else and presto! a howl Is raised abottt it. But that's the way it goes, gone and will continue to go as long as one is fool enough to con tinue writing stuff that perhaps sev eral people may read. It's usually the Innocent little things that gets one into hot water. In Greensboro once we mentioned how laundries have a way of tear ing buttons off of shirts and be fore we could say Jack Robinson, the largest laundry in town cancel led their advertising contract with the paper. Another time we wrote about a vacant lot on Main street as being an eye sore, what with its litter of ancient second-hand auto mobiles, and immediately came a howl from the company which was using the lot as a storage place for used cars. And so it goes. If it% not one thing, it's something else. Still, though, we reckon that into every life a little rain must fall—and x us without an umbrella. » Jt ♦ WHAT WE HAVE FORGOTTKN (This article, taken from the front page of the Christian Advo cate, and written by Dr. P. P. Clax ton, former member of the faculty of North Carolina College at Greensboro, goes to show that many who will be instrumental in bring ing liquor back to this state will be doing so without realizing Just what it will mean if iron bound re strictions are not placed around its manufacture and sale). "The memories of people are short. Most o>f us seem to have forgotten conditions befort the days of prohibition. We have forgotten how the streets oX cities and coun try highways were not safe for wo men on Saturday afternoons. We have forgotten the drunken men reeling in and out saloon doors and down the streets, running their horses on the country roads or ly ing drunk on the sidewalks or by the roadside. We have .forgotten the long lists of drunks in police and magistrates' courts on "Monday and other days. "We have forgotten the drunken brawls at all kinds of public gath erings, including political meetings, election days, picnics and dances, and the frequent interruptions of church services by drunken men. We have forgotten the drunken men on trains and at railway sta tions and their frequent nauseating vomiting. We have forgotten ine briate public banquets where prom inent men were left under the ta ble or hauled home. We have for gotten the red light districts and brothels where women sold whisky as well as their bodies and souls. We have forgotten the dance halls with bar rooms attached. "We have forgotten the bar roqms near to legislative halls and the very elegant one at the door of the house of representatives in the capitol at Washington. We have forgotten the quite commop ap proach of salesmen to their custo mers by setting up to the drinks. We have forgotten the drunken men in the lobbies of hotels. We hare forgotten the large number of young men In all ranks of society and especially In the higher ranks who became drunken sots and went to the dogs. "Older people forget. Younger people do not—cannot—remember conditions and things that happen ed before they were born. "We have lost out of our common THE ELKIN THHUINE. RLKIN. NORTH CAROLINA 1 speech such phases as 'red nose | drunkard,' 'blear-eyed drunken sot,' 'drunkard's wife and children,' ' 'filled drunkard's grave,' 'rot gut | whisky,* 'fire water,' 'poison Juice,' ! composed largely of bad tobacco, ! pepper and strychnine. "We have forgotten the domina tion of the saloon in local and to a large extent in city and state pol itics. We have forgotten how the saloons constantly avoided and de feated all laws made for their con trol. We have forgotten the large number of bootleggers and illicit distillers, little if at all less com mon before prohibition than they are now. We have forgotten the agents of saloons who took whisky to minors, and helped to train them to habits of drink." The Gab Bag was for the return of beer, but when it comes to hard liquor, that's another question. Prohibition has been a failure, they say, but no one can truthfully say that conditions are as bad under prohibition as they are pictured in LYRIC THEATRE TODAY AND TOMORROW— SATURDAY nSj'SSI 3K JOHN WAYNE RANDOLPH SCOTT ,n in "Cocktail Hour" "Ride Him Cowboy" PARAMOUNT NEWS SERIAL-COMEDY—MICKY MOUSE Admission 10c-25c Admission 10c-30c NEXT WEEK—Monday and Tuesday— Alt THE BEST LOVED COMEDY TEAM SPECIAL! 4 ON THE SCREEN IN A PICTURE OCTOBER 26 27 YOU'LL NEVER FORGET ©HjLgggg|, S ANNIE" b? ■ mm mm mw mLi QkLv T ~ WEDNESDAY— Thurs.-Fri.- , samuil oouwtn ™ LV SH#W pR CANTOR "MURDERS " tYDA ROBERT. •' W ' TH« WlAowy Sax Mmmk* Tm T np«T W W""!

If, when whisky comes back, our -legislators are able to work oat a plan of control that will really coar trol and improve the whisky situ ation, we are for repeal. But if their deliberations are guided by thoughts of revenue alone and they tax liquor so heavy that the average man must continue to patroniz-e his favorite bootlegger, then we can't see what will be gained. It will mean that more liquor will be available, and that's about all. For that reason we can't under stand why a plan of control is not put before the people before the question is submitted to vote in stead of after the horse is out of the stable. You never hear of big game hunters first finding their quarry and then running back to camp after their gun. But there's a lot of things we can't understand.
