WHEN WILL SPEEDING BE CURBED?
We have talked about speeding and reckless driving so
much that no attention is paid to it, but nevertheless this
dangerous practice reigns uncurbed here in Elkin, especially
on residential streets where children take their lives in their
hands every time they cross the street.
Police have made some effort
to curb this practice and some
arrests have been made, but un
fortunately there are just not
enough police in Elkin to look
after the matter if the business
of attending to traffic in the
business section is to be attended
to. Chief of Police Corbett Wall
knows how bad the situation is,
and is greatly concerned about it,
but he can't be everywhere at
one time.
Just to give you some idea how
folks feel about speeders and
reckless drivers who make a
speedway of the residential
streets daily, we'll quote Sam
Atkinson:
He said that so bad was the
traffic situation on West Main
street that his family never sits
on the front porch any more be
cause they are afraid to. They
never know when some loose nut
at a steering wheel is going to
fail to take the curve and land,
car and all, in the same rocking
chair with them.
Telling of just one instance,
Greyhound—it'i the popular choice for a balanced travel budget!

ELKIN, N. C.
Sam said he saw two fellows,
both driving Fords, racing up the
street. One took the curve in
front of his house so fast that
the rims of his wheels actually
scraped the pavement, throwing
sparks. Then, as they headed
north up West Main street, one
passed the other on the curve
which begins in front of the
Transou home, regardless of the
fact that numerous small chil
dren daily play along the streets
in that neighborhood; children
who in the most part are too
small to realize the danger of oc
casionally toddling into the
streets.
We know of one instance of an
Elkin citizen telling local police
that if some of the speeders who
daily whiz by his house ever hits
his child, it won't be necessary to
send a police car for the driver.
A hearse will be what will be
needed, he said.
REGISTRATION DAY
One of the registrars who aided
in registering the nearly 1,000
young men who reported here for
that duty last week, told us this
THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA
one during the course of the
day's work:
A colored man, she said, who
possessed only one upper tooth,
and was decidedly grey, came to
her table.
"I wants to fight for Surry
county," he said.
"But you are not going to have
to fight," he was told, "just be
ready In case there is a war."
"I don't care," the colored man
Insisted, "I was born in Surry
and I aims to fight for Surry."
"Where do you live?" he was
asked.
"Jonesville," he said.
"Then you should register In
Jonesville."
"No, ma'am, I aims to register
in Surry."
"Okey, if that's the way you
feel about It," the registrar told
him, "when were you born?"
"I was born ifc 1903," the
darkle replied.
"Are you sure?" he was asked.
"Yes, ma'am, dead sure. I'se
got It down in the Bible at
home." »
"Then you can't register," he
was told. "You're too old."
The colored man drew himself
up to full height. "Can't regis
ter!" he said. "We'll see about
that. I'll go over to Jonesville!"
Another registrar reported that
a man told her, when she asked
him when he was born, that he
was bom on Saturday.
The business of registering
went along mighty smoothly
here. We were registered by
Miss Claudia Austin. And we
might state at this point that it
has taken a world crisis and the
first peacetime dr&ft in the na
tion's history to bring home to us
the information that we have a
"ruddy" complexion. Or maybe
that was as close as Miss Austin
could come on the registration
blank to "muddy."
Hilary Marsh, who is above
draft age, came in to register. He
said he didn't know whether he
was too old or not, but he
wasn't going to take any chances.
For the benefit of you good
souls who are now 35 years of
age, but will be 36 years old with
in the next few days, or within
the next few months, or maybe
you were 36 the day after you
were registered—if you are won
dering if you will automatically
be relieved of army call the day!
you become, or became 36, the
answer is no. No matter if you
became 36 the day following the
registration, you're subject to
call for the next five years.
Well, so long, buck.

Bronchitis
Chronic bronchitis may develop if
your cough, chest cold, or acute bron

you have tried, tell your druggist to
sell you a bottle of Creomulsion with
the understanding you must like the
way it quickly allays the cough, per
mitting rest and sleep, or you are to
have your money back. (Adv.)
