Thursday, August 24, 1939 THE WHAT THE KATYDID The other night as we returned home from jiovvn town we were surprised to find an extremely large katydid perched on the screen door looking with longing eyes into our living room. Now we are not the type person who goes around killing katydids, or even speaking harshly to them, but we did object to this particular specimen clinging to our screen door, because, evidently in lightheart-' ed mood, she insisted on singing sit the top of her voice. So. deft ly we plucked her from the wire, the while her song changed to an angry and continuous sound, and carried her out into the yard where we tossed her into the air and told her to go on home to her folks. ZZZ-z-zt! Before we could get back on the porch she was there ahead of us, perched on the .screen wire and doing her best to get through it. We are not easily ruffled, and rather than fly into a rage at the antics of this particular insect, we grabbed her again, the while .she scolded angrily and loud, and carried her out into the street where we again tossed her into the air. But to no avail. Like a bullet she heat us to the door and NAGGING BACKACHE I VHWiIVHHR , IIPIHnimP9iBfV jHMuwElaaHMMaafUW2aaAk3Mtt2MMMliNUHrt>aalSM2*tt>a3aUy Modern life with ltd hurry and worry, irregular habits.

By this time we were beginning to lose patience. If she had been well-behaved, and hadn't insisted upon singing at the top of her voice, we would have let her stay. But she was in good voice and full of wind, so leaving her alone was out of the question. This time we took her away down the street by the edge of the woods, figuring that maybe she would hear another katydid sing ing somewhere and go calling on it rather than us. This time we got back home and all was quiet and peaceful, and we settled into our easy chair to listen to the ra dio of the latest doings of Hitler. Then—pow!

THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA and proceeded to sing her bloom ing head off! We gave up. In all our life we've never seen such a stubborn insect! Our wife suggested that maybe she was interested in buy ing the house and wanted to look it over. We don't know about that, but when we went to bed she was still at the window, going strong. Maybe she was just lone ly, we don't know. • • • ABOUT TOWN When we suggested, in a spirit of being helpful, that the town have the broken muffler on the garbage truck fixed, we didn't mean for them to go to the ex pense of buying a new truck. Still, it does look awful purty and keeps Elkin garbage at the high level to which it has become accustomed. Pair officials here are going to erect a fence at the local fair ground. Admission to the grounds will be only 10 cents and this ticket will also be good for admis sion to the exhibit hall. Who was it who once said that Big Elkin Creek never flooded the grounds up at the gym? Whoever it was should have gotten a boat and rowed around over there last Friday. The water was up to the mud drive which skirts the gym. It seems a pity that there's no one to look after the building, as much money as it took to build it. We were over there one Sunday to see about some lumber which belonged to the fair association. The lumber was gone, the build ing was open and the basement was full of small boys. A desk, school property we guess, was laying on its side, with one end kicked in. Of course another desk of this type can be bought for around S3O or S4O. Part of the woodwork which closes in the seats on one side had also been bashed in. A lot of the hard cash that went into the building came from the pockets of Elkin's mer chants and business men. Some of them spent a lot of valuable time helping raise this money. We may be wrong, but it looks as if whoever has charge of it could at least see that it was locked when not in use. Or are we med dling again? There was a collision at the main square one afternoon last week which smashed a fender and did other damage. We didn't see it and thus can't form an eye witness opinion as to who was at fault, but if there had been a stop light there, it wouldn't have occurred. We don't reckon.
