MUCH ABOUT NOTHING
Although we are writing this particular column three
days late according to our usual schedule, no one here at the
office has as yet missed it, and if we weren't fearful that
our nine readers wouldn't miss it, too, we wouldn't write it
this week.
One of our nine readers, a Mr. Mays, from up in Delaware,
was in the office this morning on business and while here
expressed a desire to see the®
author of this column. When he
saw us he looked disappointed
like all the others.
Goodness gracious, what do
they expect?
We ran into Tom Parnell down
on the street today, which was a

pleasant surprise. We had heard
from what we considered to be a
very reliable source, that Tom
had gone to Washington as as
sistant to J. Edgar Hoover, boss
of the F.BJ. However, we found
it to be a mistake, even though
Mr. Parnell did perform yeoman
service in assisting Chief of Po
lice Corbett Wall in arresting a
negro man here the other week.
"Without Mr. Parnell's aid,"
Mr. Wall told us, "I would have
probably arrested the man in
halt the time. The delay was
caused due to Mr. Parnell's in
sistence that the fugitive was
wearing a green shirt that was
blue."
The safety parade which is to
be staged here this afternoon
(Thursday to you), should be
quite a stunt. In it a driver less
car will tour Main street—and
we maintain that even a car
without a driver is a lot safer
than some of the cars "hereabouts
with a driver. Some of you will
remember a similar demonstra
tion which was held here three
years ago.
Our looking-after-small-things
department reports that a survey
has indicated that firms which
sponsor vending machines on the
street should be more careful to
THE ELKIN tRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA
see that the machines give value
received. Particular attention has
been called to penny scales which
do not wfcigh and chewing gum
machines which have run empty
of gum but which take in the
pennies just the same. A penny
is a small thing, but to a kid who
has only one and wants some
gum, it's much in the nature of
a tragedy to see the penny van
ish into the slot and nothing
come out.
Besides, it was the last penny
we had!

When the new postoffice was
built, many people expected the
business end of town to grow in
its direction. But since its con
struction, that, section east of
the main square has shown quite
a boom, what with new buildings
and new businesses. We were
discusing this fact with a mer
chant of the east section the
other day. "People who thought
the best business section would
be toward the postoffice were
terribly mistaken," he said.
"When one goes to the postoffice
and returns with a handful of
bills, one has tears in his eyes—
and is not likely to stop to do any
trading at any store within a
block of where he received the
bad news."
We used to think Col. Lihd
bergh about the greatest hero
there ever was. But since he has
taken it upon himself to tell the
nation what to do about foreign
policy—especially since his speech
last Sunday when he urged co
operation with Germany—we feel
that he should make another
trans-Atlantic flight and stay
where he gets.
Thurmond Chatham, who has
sons of draft age, is in favor of
conscription as a part of the na
tional defense program. He told
us last week he believed the con
scription bill will be passed. But
at the rate the politicians are
going about it, Hitler will be
landing at Plymouth Rock before
it's a fact.
Even if Hitler landed in. this
country, we still believe some of
the politicians would want to
wait to see which road he was
going to take before they did
anything.
