BEAUTY, BEAUTY EVERYWHERE
We don't know whether the women and girls of Elkin
should be pleased or displeased over the fact that two or
three more beauty shoppes are planning to locate here
within the near future. If three more, as reported, should
locate here, it will make a total of seven shoppes.
Looking at it in one way, seven shoppes will make it
easier for the ladies to get their hair twisted and their com
plexion renovated but looking at it in another way makes
one wonder if local ladies should
be flattered by the influx of new
beauty establishments. For, after
all, beauty establishments always
go where they think there is a
good field for their wares, and the
way they are coming here, it looks
like they might think that con
siderable beauty is needed in El
kin. Which is a roundabout way
of wondering if they think the
majority of Elkin women are in
need of beauty?

As far as we have been able to
note in only a casual survey, the
ladies and girls of Elkin are as
good looking on the average as
those of other towns. There are
a few who are considered down
right pretty, more who are at
tractive, even more who are neith
er pretty nor ugly and then those
who are homely.
Then there is another way to
put it, and in this way wfe can
divide all the women into two
classes: those who think they are
pretty and those who think they
are pretty. For we have yet to
see a female of the specie who,
deep down underneath, doesn't
consider herself about as pretty
as they come when she gets her
finery and war paint on.
Among the many things we
can't understand about women is
their willingness to make them
selves hideous looking in order to
look pretty. There is absolutely
nothing attractive about even the

jjiandsomest woman when she
(emerges from a beauty shoppe
: with her hair plastered flat to
her head and alf those little rlng
! lets-to-be hooked up in bobby pins
|to undergo the drying process.
They all look like they had been
| ducked in a rain barrel. Still, once
i the finger wave or permanent has
been combed out and their faces
covered with.'l, a coat of grease;
2, a layer of powdered whitewash,
and 3, an application of paint,
preferably Fire Chief Red, they
are a sight to behold.

But don't pay us any mind. We
don't look so good either.

BUT A JAIL IS NEEDED
After writing something or oth
er in this column last week con
cerning Elkin's jail we got to
thinking what happened to us fol
lowing a Gab Bag campaign for a
new fire truck. Our home burn
ed up. So—provided we put on
one of our guaranteed non-result
campaigns for a new jail—chances
are we would wind up in it!
The Elkin jail has a record of
many escapes. Not long ago Chief
Graham lodged a prisoner there
only to return to find his bird had
flown. And following a personal
tour of inspection of the thing
last Thursday afternoon, we don't
blame anyone for trying their
best to break out. We'd try it our
self if we were ever unfortunate
enough to be placed there.
Have you ever been in Elkin's
jail? We mean just to look
around? Suppose you were arrest
ed for some petty offense that re
quired you to be locked up over
night or something. How would
you like to be placed in a small,
low ceiling wooden cage, without
light or adequate ventilation, and
have to sleep on a naked mattress
resting on a wooden bunk with a
filthy open commode within 12
inches of your sleeping place?
Well, that's what would happen
if you were placed in the Elkin
jail, as shameful as it seems.
There are only two cells for
the accomodation of prisoners,
these facing each other across a
narrow hall. It is often, we were
told, that it is necessary to place
men in one cell and women in the
other, which results in a complete
lack of privacy for all concerned.
If ever a town had anything to
really be ashamed of, Elkin has
it in its jail! Go down and have
a look sometime.

THIS AND THAT
We have heard tell that the
State Highway Patrol is now bus
ily engaged in a campaign against
speeders on the highway. The
patrolmen, we are told, have or
ders to impress it upon motorists
that the lawful speed limit is 45
miles per hour.
One local man we know of can
attest to he fact that they are ac
tually pulling folks for speeding.
If you don't believe it, ask him to
show you his receipt for $9.00,
representing fine and costs.
It was said the highway patrol
is out to c,ut down highway acci
dents and is devoting its attention
to speeding, after trying about
everything else without much suc
cess. It may be that they've got
something there.
