HERE AND THERE
Chief of Police Dixie Graham is very much displeased
about these sidewalk signs one sees on Elkin's business
streets, and about the way kids ride their bicycles on the
sidewalks . . . While he is campaigning against signs, we'd
like for him to look up a bit and get mad about those signs
on doorways that are low enough to knock off a fellow's hat
when he goes by . . .
It appears Elkin's boom fi
We didn't get to go to the LI
Friday night because in moving'
our Sunday overalls were mis
placed ... Up until now our life
has been a checker game, with
every move ours . . .
The Elk in Fair is going to have
fireworks this year, in addition to
new rides, concessions, etc. . . .
The boys down at the Lyric
theatre refer to Louis Mitchell's
new apartment building as his
playhouse ... He did have a lot
of fun when they were building
it .i. .
Picture taking used to be a
simple pleasure, but nowadays, if
you believe all the various manu
facturers of photographic acces
sories, a fellow has to have at
least fifteen pounds of gadgets
hanging about his person to
make one simple snapshot . . .
and then chances are the pictures
will be lousy . .
Photographers speak a strange
language, especially those who
follow it as a serious hobby . . .
You'll hear them talking about
various formulas, like D-72, D-76,
etc., fine grain, super XX film,
Panatomic, Panchro-Press, and
the like. And every one of them
will prefer a different type cam
era and swear that his own par
ticular make is the best . . .
Usually, too, each one will talk
at length on a camera he doesn't
own, but hopes to own some day
provided he can raise the money,
for good cameras are expensive
things . . .
Walt Burgias, who used to be
official photographer for Chat

but now, we understand from the
Twin-City Sentinel, is an engi

that is nearly as big as the cam

era itself . . . "Quite a hunk of
glass," Walt says . . .
Photography is a fascinating
hobby, if one gets into the devel
oping and printing end of it . . .
We've got an album at home
with nearly 400 pictures In it, the
majority of which -were made
during the past eight months . . .
Chances are, if you looked
through it, you would find your
picture there ... We call it "The
Rogues' Gallery."
We've always regretted that we
didn't start saving our pictures
earlier. If we had, we would have
now a very interesting collection
of celebrities., including Charles
A. Lindbergh, William Green,
Judge Landis, several assorted
North Carolina governors and
their wives. Sir Esme Howard,
one time British ambassador to
the U. S., and the nicest man we
ever had the privilege of photo
graphing, and many others of
smaller calibre . . .
It's a funny thing, but the big
ger a man is In national promi
nence, the nicer he is to photo
graph. Most of them make the
photographer think that the
photographer is doing them a
favor by making their picture . . .
But when you come on down the
scale to the little fellows, like
bank presidents, presidents of
civic clubs and the like, the
photographer in many instances
is made to feel that he is the one
being favored.
Of course we are not speaking
of experience here. Fortunately
there are very few so-called
"stuck up" people in Elkin.
Unless it's you.
THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA
TO DISPLAY
SURRY CRAFT
Will Be on Exhibit at N. C.
Youth Craft Conference
at Raleigh '
ON MAY 19th AND 20th
Examples of youth work and
craft performed in Surry county
will be on display at the N. C.
Youth Craft Exhibit and Con
ference to be held in Raleigh Me
morial Auditorium, Friday and
Saturday, May 19 and. 20, accord
ing to Mr. Roy W. Johnson, NYA
Supervisor for Burry county.
The Conference, sponsored by
the Council of Youth-Serving
Agencies, will combine an exten
sive exhibit of handicraft achieve
ment by youth of North Carolina
with an open forum discussion
program dealing with immediate
problems facing young people of
today.
John A. Lang, State NYA Di
rector, Who is also president of the
Council of Youth-Serving Agen
cies, reported to Mr. Johnson that
present plans indicate this con
ference will be highly sucessful In
its effort to give expression to the
work and thoughts of Young Tar
Heels.
A Number of outstanding speak;
era from North Carolina and other
states have accepted invitations to
participate in the discussion
forums which are to be conducted
all-day Saturday, May 20.
The exhibit, of youth crafts, arts
and work will be opened to the
public beginning at 1 o'clock Fri
day afternoon and will be on dis
play all through the following
day. Among orginazations which
will participate in the Conference
are 4-H Clubs, the Future Farmers
of America, the Civilian Conser
vation Corps, the National Youth
Administration, the WPA Educa
tion and Employment Division,
and the Junior Placement Bureaus
of the State Employement Ser
vice.
Public school children, college
students, education officals and
others interested in the problems
and activities of youth are being
extended invitations to the con
ference.
The Conference this year is an
outgrowth of an exhibit sponsored
by the National Youth Admini
stration which was highly success
ful. This year, however, the
scope of the affair has been ex
tended, and it is believed that the
conference will result in a clearer
conception as to the approach to
problems of young people of to
day in their efforts to adjust
themselves to modern conditions.
