Thursday, February 1, 1940 THE &S1 DID YOU GET COLD? The weather we've been having must have been sort of like that experienced by our Uncle Culpepper back in 1864. The thermometer got so low that winter, he said, he had to go out and dig it up each morning. We started digging for ours 'ast Sunday morning but as yet we haven't gotten down to it. Fact is, we had to stop d jority of other folks of this water pipes with a blow torch .4 But it's much warmer tonight. Just a mere 16 at the present moment. Our thermometer dropped down to 4 above zero last Satur day night before we went to bed, and we sort of figured it wouldn't do any harm to leave our window closed. But our wife, always a fresh air fiend, wouldn't think of it. She propped the window open with the flat side of a razor blade. Had a letter from Aunt Frousy this morning. She said she haul solved the problem of how to keep Uncle Culpepper warm at night. She puts his feet in a bucket of kerosene oil and then Don't Live in the "Dark Ag tLET REDDY SHOW YOU HOW TO GRADUATE INTO BETTER LIVING - - - WITH BETTER LIGHT These scientifically designed • I Better Si£ht Lamps open up a new world of comfort and j B better lighting to all those who have them in their homes.

The underwear serves as a wick, and now Uncle Culpepper is very comfortable. Also had a letter from our mother saying we should not let it be known we have a sister here, because if folks find out she is kin to us it might be embar rassing to her. She also said Uncle Culpepper was mad be cause we let it be known we are kin to him. That's the way with our folks, they don't appreciate us. And we don't believe they appreciate our bringing forth our ancestors for frequent airings. But we believe THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA that all ancestors shourd be aired occasionally, don't you? But getting back to the cold weather, wouldn't you like to see a nice warm snow for a change. We're getting tired of tempera tures so low that every time we exhale our breath freezes and drops on our foot. Where are those folks who are always talking about our mild winters? THIS AND THAT We made one of our frequent mistakes in" last week's column. We congratulated the town upon having had the last of the traffic dinkusas removed. Then we start ed down to the Chatham Manu facturing Company and BAM! we hit one. But, we can reliably report, it's the last one for every body to feel ashamed of. But maybe it was just forgot ten. Think of how it must feel to be a forgotten traffic dinkus and have to take all the knocks while motorists take the bumps. Doc. Abernethy has for the past several years been Elkin's most persistent and ambitious weather forecaster. Doc's favorite fore cast is for snow. Fact is, he has been forecasting snow almost ever since we've known him. The other week he forecast snow and it snowed! His surprise was so great he went home and en joyed almost a nervous break down. The only sure forecast we ever heard him make was one of those zero mornings a few days ago. His forecast was warmer. He fig ured he had something there, be cause the way it felt, it couldn't get any colder. Then came Sat urday night and down went the mercury to depths unknown. Maybe if we can prevail upon Doc to start forecasting colder, spring weather will soon be here. Ah, spring! EAST BEND Miss Bessie Lee and C. A.
