HARRIS ELECTRIC CO. Phone 250 Elkin, N. C. notice to the Treasury that it would pay its regular semi-an nu a 1 installment of $175,000, principal and interest, on the money borrowed from the United States Government for rehabili tation of the little nation after the World War. Only one person in Washington was rude enough to ask the King of England "what about the four thousand million dollars and more your country owes us?" He was a member of Congress who sent a telegram addressed to the King at the White House, and then told the press about it. The Congressman was so obviously seeking personal publicity by this ungracious gesture that the THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA newspaper men all agreed not to mention his name. In the first place, the King of England has nothing to say about his Government's financial rela tions, and in the second place he and his wife were here merely as King and Queen of Canada, which doesn't owe the United States anything. Moreover, they were paying a social, not an offi cial visit. To ask them about the debt would have been as bad manners as to ask an invited guest at one's house when he fhtended to pay tnat $3 you lent him in 1929. However, there is a decided feeling in Washington official circles that the royal visit's ef , feqt is likely to have a great deal of influence in bringing about a settlement of the war debt mat ter, as well as strengthening the relations between the two na tions. Friendship Assured When George VI laid a wreath with his own hands on the tomb of George Washington that set tied, once for all, the question of any lurking enmity between the two nations. Those who have made the closest study of inter national affairs believe that friendship between the govern ment of Great Britain and the United States is our strongest bulwark against aggression by the | totalitarian powers of Europe and iJapan. It can be set down definitely that the personal contacts with the King and Queen by all man ner of public officials, winding up with their reception by the 1 Senators and Representatives in J the rotunda of the Capitol, have left a strong impression of friend liness among many who had ex pected something like a demon stration of royal aloofness and superiority. If the rulers of the British Em pire are this sort of folks, official I Washington is saying, there's no reason why the United States should not cooperate with their country to maintain world peace j end friendship between the na j tions who speak the same lang uage. The King and Queen proved I themselves "good fellows" in ev j ery sense of the word. They fell I into the easygoing ways of Amer ic as if they were used to, being treated like ordinary human be- I ings, and seemed to enjoy it. The King grinned like a de | lighted schoolboy when Vice#- President Garner threw his arm around his shoulders while he I talked to him, and slapped him on the back as they parted. Seeking Third Term Edfcoes of the royal visit still overshadow almost everything else in the National Capital, except the prospects for the 1940 elec tions. The belief that the President is not only seeking but preparing vigorously to go after a third nomination has grown mightily in the past few days. It got its strongest support from an article in a popular illustrated magazine by Secretary of the Interior Har old Ickes, in which he set forth his reasons for desiring the Presi dent's renomination, and took a crack at practically every Demo crat who has been suggested as the 1940 candidate of the party. Almost simultaneously there appeared in another widely-cir culated magazine an article by Stephen Early, chief secretary to the President, which did not mention a third term but com plained bitterly about the nature of some of the criticisms which have been levelled at Mi*. Roose velt. At the same time, however, the sentiment for the nomination of Vice-President Garner to head the party ticket is growing as fast as one of the cactus plants of his native Texas grows. • In the most recent published polls by the foremost organiza tion which tests public sentiment, Mr. Garner is shown as having at least an equal measure of public support as has the President himself. He is certain to have the backing of powerful state po litical organizations not only in the South but in numerous other parts of the country. » Dewey Has Appeal On the Republican side the be lief that the man whom that party will have to beat will be Mr. Roosevelt himself, is bring ing al>out a tightening of party discipline and much more serious consideration of the personality and vote-getting ability of pros pective candidates. Washington's judgment is still that Thomas E. Dewey has the greatest popular appeal, and that seems to be shared in the Demo cratic as well as the Republican ranks. Republican politicians consid ering the possibilities are won dering whether it might not be better strategy to figure on Dewey for Vice-President and either Senator Taft or Senator Vandenberg for the head of the ticket. There is pretty general agree ment with Vandenberg's declara tion that the candidate, whoever he may be, should be pledged by the Convention to a single term. COOL SPRINGS There were one hundred and forty-nine at Sunday school Sunday. Several absentees be cause of sickness in different families. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Gilliam of Mountain View, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Darnell Thursday. Mr. and Mrs. Lester Benge and Mrs. Sallie Benge and Miss Bes sie Benge were guests of Mrs. C. P. Fields Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Lester Benge visited the Sunday school .here. Born to Mr. and Mrs. Lauren Holbrook a baby boy, Thursday. Miss Ethel Mathis of Durham, is visiting relatives here. She is now the guest of her grandmoth er, Mrs. Tom Mathis. The Cool Springs quartette visited Mountain View Methodist church, where they were guest singers in their annual children's day program. Owing to the ill ness of one member of the quar tette, Mr. Ernest Wall, who is a patient in the veteran's hospital at Johnson City, Tenn., Miss Des sere Newman, a member of the young ladies' quartette, filled the vacancy. Crops are looking good here now. With showers and sunshine aiding us, we are getting a pretty fair start with the summer's crop. ' Soil building is growing in fa vor here every year, and few "old fields" are turned out covered with their unsightly red galls any more. STATE ROAD Mr. Dock Stanley, of Laurel Springs, visited friends here dur ing the week-end. Mr. Carl Milan, of Jonesville, was a visitor here Saturday. Messrs. Barney and Luther Smith visited relatives in Moores ville Saturday night. Misses Evon Gentry and Imo gene Welborn were visitors at Oak Ridge Sunday evening. Friends of Mrs. Will Carter are glad to know she is improved from her recent illness. FURNITURE 9 WINS OVER WEST YADKIN The Elkin Furniture baseball team added to their laurels over the week-end by winning from the West Yadkin team by a score of 9-2 Friday afternoon at Chat ham Park and from the North Wilkesboro team with a score of 12-0. Another game on Sunday between the local team and the Southern Dairies team in Win ston-Salem was called on account of rain at the third inning with Elkin in "the lead 9-3. The local team will meet the strong Worthville nine from Greensboro on the local diamond Saturday at 3:30. A new player, Blackie Lawrence, former foot ball, baseball and basketball star of the Children's Home, Win ston-Salem, will come into the ranks of the local team and judging from his record, will add strength to the team. He is ex pected to play in Saturday's game. N. C. State Highway prison camps cared for 9,577 prisoners in April, 1939.
