Thursday, September 19, 1940 THE IjjSsßl WE'D NEVER BEEN IN SUCH A FIX! Forgetting the customary Browning dignity for an hour or so to help out in the parade here last Friday afternoon as a part of the Elkin Fair horse show we got ourself into such a fix that for a while it appeared likely we'd have to spend the rest of our life going around equipped with a false bosom and a sofa pillow at the place where bustles once were worn. Although we hesitate to discuss such delicate matters in public, we think it our duty to point out to the men of our nine readers what may happen ino case any of them should ever be foolish enough to dress up like a woman and take part in a parade. Especially if they happen to be built like us and need large quantities of padding. For with our figure like it is, instead of having curves, we have angles.

After the false parts were strapped and pinned into place, we were enveloped in a dress that our aunt considered the very latest style in 1920. This dress, not being an exact fit, was pinned in many places, especially at the rear, by hands other than ours. All went well during the pa rade. But when that was over we went home to get out of the outfit, and that's where our trou ble started. Whereas we had lots of help getting into the outfit, no one was at home to help us get out of it! Have you ever tried to undo safety pins that were placed in the small of your back? You men, that is. Women are accus tomed to such things. Have you ever had a sofa pillow pinned— and well-pinned—to you in a spot where bustles were once worn? If you have you know what we were up against. We held up very well for the first 10 or 15 minutes, then began to weaken fast. Turn and twist THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA as we would to reach the pins holding the pillow, It would evade our grasp and switch out of reach. Every time we would get hold of one of the safety pins, it would be all tangled up in fabric making it impossible to undo. After a while we had an In spiration. Going into the kitch en we turned on the big burner of the electric stove. Then we sat down upon it and melted the safety pins loose! We had more trouble with the lipstick. The harder we washed and rubbed, the tighter the blooming stuff stuck. We rubbed it with cold cream, then vanish ing cream, then milk cream, then cream of tomato, but no luck. Although our lips were stinging, the lipstick was glowing as red as ever. Then, desperate, we had an inspiration! Going down into the basement we found a can of varnish remover, and after ap plying three coats and using a wire brush and a putty knife, we got the blooming stuff off. Of course we'll never look the same, but maybe that will be better. If the fair wants a clown next year they can look somewhere else. COMES THE DRAFT At this writing the emergency draft bUI has not yet been given a final okey, but by the time this appears it will be a law of the land unless something unforeseen happens. And then we will have to go register. War and threats of war have always seemed something for other people to worry about up to now. But this draft is bringing it close home. The draft bill covers everyone of the boys here at the office. Of course with our knobby knees they will probably reject us. ,Or maybe they will dress us in a pair of shorts and figure we'd scare the enemy to death, there's no telling. Imagine the amazement it would cause in enemy ranks to see us come stalking toward them. They'd get to wondering what was holding us up, and this element of sur prise would be their downfall. Our dependents might keep us out. After all we have a wife, two children and the finance company to support. Of course it might be possible to make ar rangements about our family, but we're afraid the finance com pany would put up an awful squawk if we went off to the army. We don't want to alarm you, but we don't believe this nation would be spending billions for de fense and drafting a huge army by conscription if it wasn't be lieved that sooner or later —and perhaps much sooner than any of us dream—we're going to have to fight Audacious Adolf. Oh well, our ancestors had to fight to create and make this country what it is. And now if we have to fight we reckon it can be done, all right. Do you have some little de pendents in your home? PLEASANT HILL Saturday night and Sunday be ing the regular preaching time here, services were well attended. Rev. Richard Day, the pastor, brought inspiring messages for both services. Music was render ed by the choir. The Sunday evening service was a most enjoyable one. Rev. Wooten and Rev. Turner, both of the New Hope community of Hamptonville, made interesting talks.
