THE ELKIN TRIBUNE Published Every Thursday by ELK PRINTING COMPANY, Inc. Elkin, N. C. Thursday, November 16, 1939 Entered at the post office at Elklu, N. C., as v second-class matter. C. 8. FOSTER - President H. F. LAFFOON - Secretary-Treasure* SUBSCRIPTION RATES. PER YEAR In the State. 81.50 Out of the State. M Member North Carolina Press Association If we can hold to our present purpose it will be a long, long time before anybody will up and say, "Lafayette, here we are." But if the war industries recruit their workers from the relief rolls who's gonna help the shovels to stand alone? Modern pirates at the rate they are go ing will sink so many boats that treasure hunters can drop a line most anywhere and find one. We'll count Representative Dies good if he can twist another hundred thousand dol lars out of Congress to continue his stage show. "If you don't know enough to keep your troubles to yourself—try telling 'em in a boiler factory, where the extra noise won't trouble other folks who have troubles of their own."—Florida Times-Union. The Red Cross Roll Call The annual Red Cross Roll Call was be gun in Elkin Tuesday, and if already your name is written there, you can skip this piece, but if you have not enrolled we are urging that you get in touch with the cap tain of your district, or see Mrs. Bivins, chairman, and become a part of this great humanitarian organization. We are all familiar with the aims and purposes of the Red Cross and the manner in which it is supported, and there is no need to dwell on that, but one fact that yvill bear repeating is that this is one organiza tion whose dollars are not eaten up by high salaried swivel-chair artists who are com missioned to administer its affairs. That means that your dollar serves the purpose for which you intend it to go. And what is more, that part of your Red Cross dollar that remains at home is made to work for the common good of the com munity as a study of the statement publish ed in last week's issue of this paper by Miss Allen will abundantly show. As for that part of your dollar that goes to national headquarters, one has only to re member Red Cross ministrations in time of disaster, not forgetting that * its relief of human suffering does hot stop when dis aster has been hurdled, but continues day in and day out in various educational activi ties, which if less spectacular in that they have to do with the prevention of human misery, are nonetheless valuable and worth while. It is obvious that the needs that will face the Red Cross in the perilous days ahead, will be multiplied, and therefore will de mand the interest and co-operation of all of us. The fine program that marked the ini tiation of this year's Roll Call last Saturday night, in which President Roosevelt'took the leading role, was one that should impress this need and win our hearty support. And so we are repeating our urge that if you have not already enrolled, by all means do so—voluntarily. We shouldn't be thinking in terms of quotas when consider ing appeals of such importance. Yet a quota has been set, and it should be more than met. Speaks Frankly About It Thurmond Chatham, addressing' a Lex ington civic club, quite frankly admitted that he is "prejudiced" in favor of Britain and France in their war with Germany. The majority of his hearers probably felt the same way about it, as do a majority of the people of this state and nation. v In addition to being a straight-thinker and one of the South's business leaders, Mr. Chatham has had opportunity to study first-hand European conditions, having only recently returned from a trip abroad where he had an opportunity to sound the senti ment and the motives and make appraisal of their righteousness. This contact enables him to speak clearly and wisely—and those of us who are close to him expect him to speak boldly. If there had been the inclination to sim ilar frankness among our national legisla tors, we wouldn't have had to wait for weeks and weeks for Congress to make up its mind on a matter that has much to do with the ultimate success of the cause that Mr. Chatham and most of the rest of us favor. History holds much that calls for con demnation of Britain and France in the years that have gone—particularly Britain, whose skirts not entirely clear. But no matter how conclusive their victory, no such threat would come to us and the world as certainly would come if Germany would be the victor. And those who are continually deploring the injustices of Versailles, should pause and consider what would have hap pened had Germany been the victor in the last war. France has said very definitely that the Allies will not try for military aid from the United States in this conflict. But both France and Britain want our moral support, and they should have it. Public opinion is definitely stronger for the Allied cause than was the case in the last war. There fore it would be easier to get into it with men and guns. And that is one thing wo must fight against—in this favorable preju dice that we all feel. And feeling that way we should be tolerant of such decisions as are made by our leaders. For it is impossi ble to be neutral in spirit when we are not neutral in thought. An Important Development Last week work was begun by the Car nation Company on a complete milk con densery at Statesville, the approximate cost of which will be around $200,000. And this announcement comes just one year after Carnation had established a receiving unit there as a feeder for the Galax, Va., pro cessing plant. This is the first unit of its kind to be es tablished in North Carolina, and while it will not serve Surry county extensively, we heartily congratulate our neighbor, not be cause it happens to be the first county to boast a plant of such importance, but be cause of the potential future worth to Ire dell and neighbor counties. And when it is remembered that only re cently this concern has established a receiv ing plant at Albemarle and plans to open such plants in other counties as feeder for the processing plant at Statesville, it is ob vious that Carnation means business. And the further fact that the Borden Company is planning to establish a milk processing plant at Chester, S. C., one'begins to en vision a great dairy industry for this sec tion. These developments are worth noting, we think, because they spell progress; be cause they indicate that farmers are break ing the bonds of slavery to so-called cash crops that not only sap their own physical strength, but which take heavy toll in the soil erosion they invite. And mark you, whatever success comes to the counties counting these benefits, will be reflected among their neighbors. It is noticeable that even in the ordinary course of agriculture when an individual farmer turns to the raising of cattle, he be comes outstanding in his community. His lands are improved, there is an air of pro gressiveness about his place that spells prosperity. Likewise when whole commun ities become cow-minded, they too become outstanding. One has only to trip to the cattle country to verify this. Soon we will have the evidence brought right to out doors. And it is for this reason that we are tak ing note of this development, and congrat ulating Iredell for having stressed cattle raising and dairying for the past decade, thus paving the way for what we are sure will be a big asset. And incidentally Surry could double her cow population without sacrifice to other activities, and thus benefit more than we realize. A Strange Passing A New York writer complains that he doesn't hear of dried apple pie any more, and threaded through his observation is the intimation that he is not greatly concerned whether he ever hears of dried apple pie again—the fathead. True, it is no longer a common thing to see "dry-boards" decorating roofs and spe cial stands, filled with sliced apples spread out to dry and cure in the only real way— by the sun . The evaporated kind, bleached for looks, doesn't have what it takes to make good fried "moon" pies. But blessed be, this practice continues in this hill section of North Carolina, even if on a smaller scale, and here's hoping that it never fades en tirely. Count it a product for the poor and un cultured, even as the lowly blackberry is considered by some, but like the blackberry, dried apples'need only the touch of an ar tist's hand to make them forever popular with those who are properly introduced. Not long back some high-flier introduced crow-on-toast, and this bird, considered an outlaw, might have been threatened with distinction, if the public mind hadn't divert ed to other things. Just make dried apple pie a fad for awhile and see the dry boards come back again, or the rack and strings of apples dry ing above-the kitchen stove ; We are ad mitting that sanitary conditions were not up to modern specifications, but you seldom heard tell of those rugged oldsters suffer ing from the germs the apples caught—a notion that was just about as baseless as the traditional objection to crow, which is much cleaner in its habits than a chicken or a porker. ' We've a notion that if there were a na tional turning back to dried apples, accom panied by the sound of the family can-open er landing in the garbage can we'd all be a sight better off. And when this dehydrated fruit came into the popularity it deserves, there'd be a whole army of us ready to join a lynching party searching for the guy who wrote: "I hate, abhor, detest, despise, Abominate dried-apple pies. Tread on x my toes and tell me lies, But don't feed me dried-apple pies." About the most generous thing that could be said of him is that he was just plain—ignorant.
