Is Third Dividend
Bank Has Declared
Since Its Failure
(Continued from Page One)
stand in the way at the time of the
next dividend.
Mr. Spradlin stated that three
times the Elkin National Bank has
used the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation's money in paying divi
dends, and that the two previous
times these loans have been repaid
much more quickly than was anti
cipated. He further stated thai at
this time Congressman Frank
Hancock was of invaluable assis
tance in putting through the present
loan on a most satisfactory basis,
and that so far as the loan is con
cerned the money was available
eome weeks ago. Mr. Hancock wrote
Mr. Spradlin promptly upon the con
eumation of the transaction and at
the same time expressed his great
pleasure that the people of the Elk
in community should have this third
dividend available to them before
the holidays.
The receiver stated that it would
be of interest to the depositors to
state that the present loan being
used in part payment of this divi
dend has been largely repaid before
the dividend checks were received,
and that little more than one-half
of the amount available would be
used at this time.
Since the Elkin National Bank
cloved, all of the borrowed money
from the National Credit Corpora
tion has been fully repaid and tbe
(Federal Reserve Bank has been al
most fully paid out, there being now
Owing to the Federal Reserve less
than (2,000.00 of the principal.
When the Federal Reserve Bank has
been fully paid from the notes dis
counted with them, it will leave only
the depositors to share in subse
quent dividends, which is very much
In the depositors' favor.
Mr. Spradlin expressed himself as
pleased with the splendid way in
vhich borrowers had been respond
ing to request for payment, and he
ventured the prediction that if they
continue to pay as they have in the
past that the depositors will fare
much better than many of them had
expected. He further stated that
while this third dividend is being
paid that liquidation is not over by
any means.
Mr. Spradlin requested that cordial
Christmas Greetings from the per
sonnel of his office be extended both
to depositors and debtors to the
bank, and he gave his assurance
that his office would continue to put
forth its best efforts in the interest
of all, which would be fruitful in re
sults if met with full cooperation
by all those interested.
A LETTER FROM LITTLE MISS
NORMAN
Dear Editor:
I am a little crippled girl. I
have been an invalid practically all
of my life and am confined to ray

from all that will and can, to go on
my tree, as I can not go out any.
Everybody is invited to come and be
with me on the night of December
23, 1933. If there is any person
who would like to send me a gift
to go on my tree, that can not come,
It will be appreciated. If you will

A detailed outline of a program
for agricultural recovery in keeping
with Governor Ehringhaus' "plan
and prosper" campaign has just
been prepared by Charles A. Shef
field, assistant extension service di
rector at N. C. State College.
Mr. Sheffield has made a study
of the crop acreage and livestock
needs of North Carolina, and hi«
findings have been set forth in a
special circular, just issued by the
extension service.
There iB still a definite need for
more wheat, corn, oats, garden
truck, meat and dairy products than
is now being produced withia the
State, he said. North Carolinians
cannot be self-sufficient until they
supply their own needs with foods
produced at home whenever possi
ble.
The AAA program of reducing
the production of basic commodities
year will leave 600,000 North Caro
line acres free for the production of
food and feed crops for home con
sumption, Mr. Sheffield said, and
now is the logical time for farmers
to begin the production of these
feed and food crops.
Another important matter, he said
is that of increasing the State's
livestock population and of giving
more thought to the efficiency of
farmers so that their incomes won't
all be used up in defraying the cost
of farm operation.
A farmer barely breaking even, or
losing money, will in most cases
profit from the same amount
of commodities if he eliminates all
waste by careful planning to meet
the new situation.
The pamphlet may be obtained
free by citizens of North Carolina
upon application to the agricultural
editor at State College in Raleigh.

THE ELKIN TRIBUNE. ELKIN. NORTH CAROLINA
$11,472 Sales Tax
Paid In 3 Months
(Continued from Page One)
state took over operation of the
entire eight-months school term.
In taking over the schools, the state
reduced the cost of operation, which
in 1932 amounted to approximately
(23,000,000, to approximately $16,-
000,000 for 1933, thereby resulting
in a savings to the taxpayers of the
state of approximately $7,000,000 in
operating cost. The property tax
relief afforded for the entire state
amounted to $11,476,540.
Sales taxes collected in Surry
county for the first three months
are below the average collections for
the entire year as collections are
being improved from month to
month, But after allowing for the
reasonable increase in the sales tax
collections in Surry county which
are anticipated, it will be observed
that the property owners of the
county are relieved of property taxes
in the considerable amount shown
and that the sales tax collections in
Surry county will be far less than
the property tax relief afforded.
The sales tax payments are made
by all of the people in the county
rather than those who happen to be
owners of property.
More things are wrought by pray
er than this world dreams of.—
Tennyson.

BIG ROAD SHOW IN
WINSTON-SALEM
Company of Seventy Passing Thru
Carolina* On World Tour Start
ing In February
The Tribune has been requested to
announce a special midnight frolic
at the Carolina Theatre in Winston-
Salem, Thursday night, December
28th. For the first time in several
years this section of the Piedmont
is to witness an extravaganza sec
ond to none, with possibly the ex
ception of the new Ziegfield Follies
which opened in New York a week
or so ago. Because of the fact that
this attraction is making a hurried
trip through the Southland which
will include Greensboro, Charlotte,
Spartanburg, Birmingham, Atlanta,
New Orleans, Dallas and other cities
of the South and Southwest before
sailing from San Francisco in Feb
ruary for the Orient, Winston-Salem
was fortunate in securing them for
one performance at midnight. The
Greater Marcus Show presenting
"La Vie Paree" consists of a com
pany of seventy people in two Pull
man cars and three seventy-foot
baggage cars. The big musical was
designed and conceived by Mr. A. B.
Marcus who decided to portray a
glimpse of the night life of Paris
including such resorts as the Follies
Bergere, Moulin Route and Casino
de Paris. While the production is
in a sense sophisticated in character,
fffa the management feels that it will
*52 not offend anyone. It is however
ifahL suggested that adolescents should
*JS be admitted.
fi&i "La Vie Paree" is confined some
jQ what to a display of beauty, altho
«S| there are novelty surprises, music
J£ and dancing unlike any seen in
•riM
Thursday, December 21, 1933
years In the Carojinas. There are
fail dancers, as well as the common
place type of tap routine and drills,
and even tho some have aald that
it Is the type of entertainment child
ren should not see, all agree that it
is extraordinary entertainment"' in
keeping with the frankness of larger
communities who demand something
different. The entire performance
beginning at 12 Midnight consumes
two and one-half hours, and all seats
according to the Carolina manage
ment are reserved, money orders or
express orders will be honored for
advanced reservations.
