WE DISCOVER MORE ANCESTORS Everybody knows that we are not a person to go around popping off about our ancestors, but we were in High Point one morning last week at the home of an aunt and while there she showed us the family tree on our mother's side of the family. Imagine our surprise and consternation to find that the blooming thing was just lousy with ancestors. This string of people, who no doubt would have suffered consternation, too, if they had known that we were to sprout on that tree, started with our great, great, great, great (we don't know how many) grandpa' Kearns who came over to Amer ica in 1760 or 70. We were afraid to ask why he was run out of Ireland, but it is reliably report ed that he had the horse with him when he landed over here.

Well, we got to following the trunk of the tree, and then the branches, and away up in the top on a limb that looked sort of weak and bare we found our own name. Our aunt said she expect ed it was a good thing that all the older ancestors listed were dead and gone due to the fact that they would have been awful mad if they had known we were going to be listed there. How ever, we told her the time would conie when everyone would be proud we were there, and that we would probably go down in his tory as "Anti-Dinkus Al, or the Street Traffic Menace." When we told her we are run ning for mayor of Elkin she said that was fine, but a few minutes later we saw her take a blue pen cil and cross Elkin off the map she had hanging in the bedroom. ♦ « * STYLE DEPARTMENT This department has been new ly organized, and for a purpose. This column has always protest- THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA Ed against various things, and our Style Department will protest against this new hair style that the women are now gingerly try ing out in this section. We are speaking of the style in which the hair is carried upward to end in some curls or some thing on the top of the head. | This upsweep looks lovely in the magazine pictures where some beautiful movie star, who has ac cess to plenty of wigs and switches, has posed, but so far we haven't seen any local examples that meet with our approval. This news will no doubt come as a bombshell to all the women of this section, who probably will ask just what business is* it of ours anyway? Really, it's none of our business, but we men have to look at you, and we also get a rear view that is unfamiliar to you, so we might be given a little consideration. • » • COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT The following complaint, made Tuesday, is sbmething else that is none of our business, but we always like to pass along the opinions of others. This partic ular complaint comes from an Elk Spur street resident who thinks it is just awful the way people who use that street walk in the street instead of on the new sidewalk. One would think that pedes trians would be glad to use the sidewalk, but if they want to walk out in the street, that's their lookout and not ours. Of course, if they should get hit by an automobile, that would also be their lookout and not ours. And it could be added that they would have less grounds for a damage suit. • * * MAIL DEPARTMENT The following letter signed by W. M. Morrison, of Roaring River, who terms himself a "silent reader" of' this column ai}d not a member of the select nine, arrived this morning to wit: "Just a few lines to let you know I am a silent reader of the Gab Bag, not numbered among the nine readers. A number of years ago—in fact, before the bridge was built there for a few individuals to cross on to keep them from falling in the river, if you get what I mean—you had your picture in your column heading, but later changed it. You haven't made any recent changes in your heading, and I would be very glad if you would send me one of your latest pic tures, as I have been very unfor tunate in not meeting you per sonally, that is, as I know of. "Hugh Royall informed me yes terday that you had changed very much in appearance especially since the recent Republican con vention at Dobson. I am sure you have plenty of competition in politics as I saw E. L. Byrd yesterday very much engaged in conversation with some fellow. Prom his appearance he must have been discussing Bob's duties at the polls." We take it that Mr. Morrison, whom we welcome now as an un silent reader of this column, was referring to "Our Bob" Lovelace, whom everyone knows as a sterl ing guardian of the sacred right of free voting at the Elkin town ship polls. As to sending him our latest picture, it hasn't been taken yet, but we are planning to change the column heading at some near date provided we can get another picture which flatters us as much as the one we are now using.
