Thursday. October 17, 1940 GAB^K Some of the merchants here are so interested in city mail delivery because it is a nuisance to have to carry so many parcel post packages back to their stores when they go to the postoffice. So far we haven't heard anyone com plain of having to carry a couple of letters and a postcard. Some action will probably be taken one of these days to make snch delivery a possibility for Elkin, and such action should be taken. Wasn't city mail delivery one of the argu ments used in selling various property owners on aiding in footing the bill for new side walks? Seems like when folks want to do things there is always one problem after another in the way. It was figured that when Elkin got a new fire truck it would be possible to reduce fire insurance rates here provided it proved pos sible to put on a permanent fire man who would sleep with the fire truck. Never having slept with a fire truck, we couldn't say about that, but we saw a letter the other day which outlined a half dozen or so other require ments also needed before any such reduction can be made. It seems Elkin will have to have a larger water line from the set tling basin to the filtering plant, and also this line will have to be of iron pipe instead of wood, be cause of the danger of fire burn ing up the wooden pipe, as it threatened to do once upon the time. Also, we understand a water tank or two will have to be erected. We had a telephone call last week concerning something we said in this column from a voice that identified itself as the head of the fifth column in Elkin. The voice stated that it was giving the first warning—that a second warning wouldn't be necessary. The voice sounded so dismal. Although there was a great, IMGCM ALL WAYS!

THIS AND THAT deal of talk on the part of those who suffered loss due to the re cent flood that they would never build back in the river bottom here, the task of building back is going forward in a number of in stances. Oil men have reset their tanks and built themselves offices right where the water can come again and do damage all over again. Oil men are faced with the problem of a suitable site for their tanks, and are just about forced to put back in the bot tom, because it seems to be the only location where they have access to railway sidings. Lots of men between the ages of 21 and 35, inclusive, will no doubt follow the course of the war now with greater interest than ever before, what with Uncle Sam having their names on file for military duty. And if you should see a great bustling and running about on the part of men of this age, think nothing of it. just a bunch of draftees rushing around in search of dependents. We see by the paper that Col. Lindbergh has made another speech. Instead of flying through the air, now he adds to it. Teacher—ln which of his bat tles was Alexander the Great killed?

Pardue, the pastor, filled the pulpit at both morning and evening services at the church here last Sunday and de livered very inspiring sermons.
