Thursday, November 16, 1933 WEATHER REPORT Continued dry. L AFTER THE BATTLE'S OVER Unlike some of the wets around here, we don't mind it being known that we voted that way, even though Lon Walker feared the wets' defeat in North Carolina might have affected our health. Our interest in the battle was not * so great that casting a minority vote could completely wreck our life or bring us to the point of hav ing a violent attack of sour grapes through this column. We voted as we thought was right and if the fu , ture shows us to have been wrong we'll admit it, as will perhaps the two or three others here who voted 1 for repeal. We cast our vote for the repeal of the 18th amendment of the Con stitution of the United States. The i 18th amendment has been repealed. But getting back to North Caro lina as an overwhelmingly dry state f according to the November 7 vote. Judge Hayes said here in a pre election prohibition address that the repeal of the 18th amendment would not cut out bootlegging. Ac cording to the judge, as we remem ber it, the tax on legalized liquor would be so high that the average man would be unable to purchase v it and would have to continue to patronize the illicit liquor dealer. Granted that he was right, what is to keep North Carolina bootleg gers from becoming even worse now with a wet Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky nearby? With a higher grade of whisky to offer the bootleg gers will probably regard the state as a bootleggers' paradise and un less enforcement of our liquor laws is far more strict than it is 'now, /^> "LAMP Wki b MAN" "Buy 'Em Is COMING! Mr. "Lamp Man" is talcing orders for GENUINE MAZDA LAMPS. Check over your sockets and extra lamp sup ply now. You'll likely be surprised at the number of empty sockets and the lack of extra lamps in your home. The word "MAZDA" has a very im portant meaning. It is not the name of a thing, but symbol of a service—a v service dedicated to improving light ing . . . quantity of light . . . longer lamp life . . . and greater lamp efficiency! WHEN YOU BUY GENUINE MAZDA LAMPS YOU BUY THE BEST Better Light Better Sight Southern Public Utilities Company that's what the state may end up as. As we see it (are you hanging on our words?) it's up to the drys to see that North Carolina's liquor laws are enforced as thoroughly as it is possible. It's also up to ev ery other law abiding citizen to lend their support to enforcement, because, after December 5 or 6, the Old North State is going to be an island in a sea of legalized whisky —and it's going to take effort a plenty to keep the waves from dashing over her borders. • * * ELECTION HIGHLIGHTS We cannot help but grin when we remember a local wet wanting to bet $lO to $8 that North Caro lina would wind up for repeal. That was just before the polls closed Thursday evening. Mr. Reich, one of the staunchest dry workers around here, appeared very worried when a drizzle of rain began to fall election day morning. He was fearful the wet weather would keep the dry rural vote at home. However, everything came out all right, including the sun. We couldn't help but feel high hatted when we went to cast our vote. Not a single dry worker rushed up to see if our name was on the dry list. Could it be that they had it in their heads that we were one of those sinful wets? Just a few minutes ago we re ceived a package from our adver tising matrice service. Always on the job, they have mailed out a special repeal supplement. It must have been mailed before the North \ Carolina vote was cast. Here is what one of the ads say: Farewell to gasoline cocktails and gin-soaked judgment at the THE ELKIN TRIBUNE. ELKIN. NORTH CAROLINA ! wheel of'a hundred horsepower se dan. Farewell to daughters In their teens drinking elbow to elbow with gangsters at a speakeasy bar. To hip flasks and hootch-hiking and three o'clock vigils. The youngsters are coming home! "Home to the radio and the game room and the roll-back-the-carpet dances. To the family dinner ta ble with its pies and cakes and beer and good red. wine. To the whole someness of the real America! "Our children are coming home!" Sounds well enough but we fear sadly out of place. "ime of the women workers at i the polls Tuesday appeared greatly j worried while the dry election judge was out for lunch. We saw by last Thursday morn ing's paper that the drys are now going to turn their attention to re pealing beer in the state. We are not especially fond of the 3.2 beer, but can't help but wonder why they don't also include soft drinks and water in their repeal campaign Oh, well. ♦ * ♦ MUTTER AND MUMBLE Oswald H. Gumbersnitz, who a couple of weeks ago declared him self for repeal, hasn't been seen since the election. . . Maybe he has moved to Virginia. . . Looking over The Tribune it appears the county directory is with us again (tax list) . . . Some of the double parkers here about are really becoming more timid. Instead of cutting off their motors while going into a store to shop and chat they leave them running "However, a careful investigation has disclosed that a double-parked car with engine run ning blocks traffic quite as thor oughly as one with engine dead. . . Maybe sometime people will get it into their heads that The Tribune will not, under any circumstances, print an article to its readers' opin ion column, regardless of the na ture of the article, unless it is signed by the author. This does not mean that the writer must nec essarily have to have his name ap pear in print. A communication just received pertaining to school matters contains no signature al though the author expresses his or her willingness to pay for its publi cation. The article in question is now on our desk but will not be printed unless the person who wrote it signs it. . . There is but one place for unsigned articles—the waste basket. * * * THIS AND THAT We understand that Uncle Char lie Bodenheimer has cancelled plans for manufacturing a self kicking machine to be soid'to local drys. Might be a market among the wets, however. ♦ * * A lady in Q. Snow's store the other day, upon hearing the Gab mentioned, exclaimed: "Law, you can't believe anything that you see in the Glab Bag!" without know ing that the author of the Gab Bag was standing nearby. Imagine our embarrassment! * ♦ * Bob Lovelace was in there, and the election being brought up he naturally started looking around for a soap box. * * * It is understood that a sign bear ing the words: "Bone Dry. Closed all day for the Election" appeared on the door of Q. Snow's store election morning. And ever since Willi Holcomb has been wander ing around with a self conscious expression on his face. * * * Hetay Ndeay. P. S. As a highlight of after election comment, here's what a very fine gentleman whom we have known all our life said in a letter we received the other morning: "I guess the double-face polti cians are mighty sick in North Car olina over the recent election. The poor governor didn't have the "in ternals" to come out and de clare himself beforehand, and then guessed wrong, as did a lot of others. You don't re member him, but it certainly looked like the shade of Bob Glenn was over North Carolina Tuesday." Loans Are Averaging $150,000.00 Daily Columbia, S. C.—Loans closed by the Federal Land Bank of Colum bia and the Agent of the Land Bank Commissioner are now averaging $150,000.00 daily. This will be in creased until the volume is suffi cient to care for applcations cur rently—the goal set by Governor Morgenthau for the Third District. This flow of cash is going to farm ers in North Carolina, South Caro lina, Georgia and Florida. It is re financing farm mortgages, buying new equipment, repairing farm buildings, paying personal debts and generally placing farmers on a sound financial footing. "To close loans in such volume", said President Daniel of the Land Bank," we have not only greatly Increased our force of workers but we are using both day and night shifts. Our personnel is now about complete and we are clicking more smoothly every day." AUTO MAKERS ON CODE After preliminary scrutiny of sta tistics from the automobile indus try, the recovery administration Friday said all motor manufactur ers, including Ford, apparently were abiding by the wages and hours prescribed by their, code.
