Thursday. August 10, 1939 I THF |GAl||@! JR. PICKED" UP FROM HERE AND THERE Speaking of funny things people sometimes say, we heard the one about the colored girl who was telling the lady of the house about an injury to her brother. "He done cor rupted hisself," she said, "and now he has to wear a tussle." Another colored girl who used to work for our mother came in one morning and announced breakfast. "Ready so soon?" our mother asked. "Yessum, everything excusin' the eggs, and we ain't got none* of them," the darkie replied. Did you see the movie last week in which the irate husband, la menting tht fact he ever married his meddlesome wife, said he'd thought of sending her back to her mother, only it wouldn't be any use because her mother was back with her mother. When "The Birth of a Nation" first hit the screen as the great est picture ever produced, we re member hearing our folks, who drove all the way to Durham and back to see it without having but two punctures (a record in those days), rave about Wallace Reid's .strength in picking up an anvil jpp To avoid trouble this summer, make your car safe for summer driving now. To do that job, Sinclair dealers offer a special Sinclair-ize for Summer serv ice. It will prepare your car for hot weather as its manufaAurer recommends. This service includes: 1.

C. and throwing it out the window of a blacksmith shop. When we finally got around to seeing the picture, we especially watched for that scene. Then just last week, in reading a movie column in a daily newspaper, we discovered the anvil was made of cardboard. Tsk, tsk. * • * GROWING PAINS Elkin has begun to grow here lately. A lot of construction is going on. The biggest problem facing the town now is its traffic problem, which is bound to become more acute as time passes. On Satur day afternoons Elkin's business THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA streets resemble a continuous traffic jam. This is not to be blamed on anyone. There are just more cars than there are parking places to take care of them, and cars drivr ing around and around in search of a place to drive in and stop add to the general confusion. A large parking lot located in the downtown district would be a boon, but unfortunately there is no large parking lot nor is there space available for one. Sometime ago the town had a survey made to determine the cost of stop-and-go signal lights. The cost was considered prohib itive, but a drive now along Elkin's Main street on a Saturday afternoon or night will show they are needed. Even one light at the main square would help a lot, it keeping Elkin's lone day police man busy most of the time keep ing traffice straightened out at that point, what with cars enter ing the intersection from all di rections at the same time. And when the new Chatham plant goes into operation here, the sit uation is going to be further ag gravated. The town officials are no doubt aware of this fact, and chances are they have the matter under consideration. We just thought we'd mention it, having little else to do at this moment. * * » THIS AND THAT It's a funny thing, but every time a truck passes our house, all the furniture jumps up and runs to the door. ♦ » * C. J. Hyslup, of the Chatham Manufacturing Co., also attend ed the World's Fair, we have been informed. * ♦ » We have been asked to list Paul Gwyn as Public Citizen No. 1, he being the only subscriber to the Western Union clock system who turned his clock toward the street from a window so that it might benefit the general public. He probably doesn't give a hoot what time it is, anyway. ♦ • * Come over' and sit in our pea patch when the peas come up. * » » If they come up. » ♦ * Which we doubt. ♦ * * P. S. We apologize.
