You Figure It
Out And You'll
Be Wrong,
It is a known fact that a cer
tain number of men will be draft
ed from Surry county in the first
call for conscripts for the United
States army.
Last week this' reporter, with
the aid of the linotype operator
and a sister who used to teach
school, figured in a complicated
and roundabout way that 240 men
from Surry would have to go as
the county's quota. But since
that time, after looking over the
figures of other newspaper folks,
all using different systems, it is
believed that "a certain number"
comes closer to hitting the correct
number on the head.
This is not to be taken literally,
for no one intends to hit the on
scripts on the head, just the num
ber. And as that number has not
been discovered with any degree
of even approximate accuracy, it
may not even be possible to hit
th number on the head.
Anyway, after wearing out two
pencils, much copy paper and
wasting too much time, the figure
240 was arrived at last week. Then
comes another paper stating that
a much smaller number will have
to go from the county in which
that particular paper is published.
This looks bad for the Tribune
figure, for that particular county
has a larger population thag
Surry.
To make matters much worse
out comes another paper, publish
ed in a city of close to a hundred
thousand souls, with the assertion
that only some 40-odd men would
go from that city. And some plain
and fancy figuring, plus compar
ison of the population of Eikln
and the city mentioned, led to the
rather puzzling conclusion that
the army would call approximate
ly four-fifths of a man from Elk
in, based on the other paper's
figures.
This conclusion brought on more
complications, but after messing
around with figures and things
to determine what fifth portion of
a man should be left behind when
the other four-fifths went off to
the army, this reporter arrived at
the conclusion it was none of
his business and gave the whole
thing up.
