Thursday, March 23. 1939 I THE li^SA 1 jPrJ JR. THIS AND THAT Everybody around here is of the opinion that some kind soul should do the entire world a favor by shooting Herr Hitler. Whether the man is insane or not is open to ques tion, but there's no doubt about his promises being worth absolutely nothing. Remember Munich, when he said he had no further territorial ambitions in Europe, and agreed, along with England, France and Italy, to respect and protect the new boundaries of Czechoslovakia? One of the best editorial cartoons we've seen in some time was the one that appeared in last Saturday's Greensboro News. It showed a skeleton upon* the ground, over which hovered a vulture on the take off. The skel eton was labelled "Czecho-Slo vakia"; the vulture "Hitler." Why is it that during the Sep tember crisis it was Czechoslova kia, but now, Czecho-Slovakia? Just when we get to the place we can spell that name without looking it up, along comes Hitler and wipes it off the earth. No Headachy, Losy? Headaches, biliousness, bad breath often warn of faulty elimination. Neglect of these signs may cause a host of constipation's other discomforts: sour stomach, belch ing, no appetite or energy.

Did you know that in Germany it's against the law for more than three people to gather in a home to listen to the radio? Or so we read. And that before Hitler rides in a parade, storm troopers first go over the entire route, searching every home for wea pons and ordering that no out siders be there during the parade. They say Hitler is a coward; ihat several years ago when his troops occupied the Rhine, he was so nervous and scared it was nec essary for his physician to give him several shots in the arm to quiet his nerves. Now that the German dictator has taken Czecho-Slovakia and centered the world spotlight upon himself again, it's time for Mus solini to start something so that he may have a little attention. Dictators love the spotlight; Mus solini used to be the Lig shot, but now that Hitler has gained such power Mussolini is over shadowed. He doesn't like that at all. Watch for him to start hollering again for French col onies—if he hasn't already start ed by the time this reaches you. For further information along Aft ft SALVE WwU COLDS .

Monday of last week was the 13th —and we maintain that Fri day the 13th can't compare with blue Monday the 13th. Just thought we would mention it. Later. Much has taken place since we wrote the above. It has been announced that the Chat ham Manufacturing company will move their Winston-Salem plant to Elk in. and The Tribune has issued an extra giving the story as it came direct ffom Mr. Thur mond Chatham. We believe the rumor current up until last Monday afternoon concerning the move, to be the only rumor circulated here that proved to be fact. Quite a rec ord. Mr. Chatham, following the meeting Monday with town officials, telephoned The Tribune tv send representatives down to the mill to get the first an nouncement of the story. And he agreed with us that the removal of Elkin's celebrated traffic dinkuses cleared the way for pro gress here. Pact is, he said he hardly ever came to Elkin that he didn't hit Dinkus No. 1, down at Turner Drug Co. Who knows, if the dinkuses hadn't been taken up the Chatham finishing and shipping plant may never have been planned for here. Judging from his expression, we believe Mr. Neaves was the most tickled about the planned consol idation of the entire mill here. In a quiet sort of way he was bub bling over, and even forgot economy to the extent that he set up to Coca-Cola all around. "Hang the expense," his actions seemed to say, "this is a momen tous occasion I" We've been kick ing ourself ever since for not hinting around for a new blanket. Mr. Chatham seemed pleased, too, and Mr. Mason Lillard wasn't exactly sad about the matter. Why he didn't even look stern when Mr. Neaves spent that thirty cents for pop. It was quite an occasion.
