Tribune Ads
Get Results;
Here’s Proof
Tribune advertising gets re
sults.
That's the little filler line
that your eyes occasionally find
themselves focused on through
out the paper, but maybe you
don’t know how true it is.
Now, Johnny Kidd of Turkey
Ford Road, Dobson, wasn’t ad
vertising, but he got results.
A feature which appeared in
the September 15 issue of the
Tribune extolled Johnny's un
usual qualifications as a farm
er, musician and housekeeper
which would have made this
bachelor the apple of any elig
ible lady’s eye,
Asked by Kermit Lawrence,
Surry Clerk of Court, how he
liked the feature, Johnny re
plied. “Fine . . . I’ve already
received a proposal.”

6,000 Forest Tree Seedlings
Requested From North
Elkin, Mountain Park
FREE TO 4-H, F. F. A.
Eight 4-H club members from
North Elkin and Mountain Park
have indicated their interest in
i entering the timber thinning con
j test, sponsored by the Elkin Ki
wanis Club. Orders for 6,000 for
est tree seedlings have been re
! ceived from these two clubs.
Neill M. Smith, Surry County
farm agent, yesterday urged 4-H
| club members and F.F.A. members
| who are interested in planting
: trees to place orders at once.
Mr. Smith explained that the
: State Forestry Nursery at Hender
| sonville has only 300,000 white
I pine seedlings available this year
i and orders must be placed im
mediately to be assured of an ap
I preciable amount of trees.
Orders are filled on a “first come
| first served” basis, Mr. Smith said.
The county agent added that
due to an extremely poor seed crop
from pines this year, the outlook
for next year’s supply of seedlings
is very poor. “Therefore,” he con
cluded, "if anyone plans to do for
estry planting, now is the time to
| place his order.”

Alleghany, Wi’kes, Watauga and
Ashe counties is $31,496.97.

publicity manager of the Scout
drive, the following message is
relayed:
“I believe that, with the ex
ception of the church, one of our
greatest organizations for the
building of character and citizen
ship is the Boy Scouts of America.
Many of our outstanding citizens
were Scouts in their youth and
vouch that the training and guid
ance received as a Scout was in
valuable throughout their lives. In
the forthcoming drive for this j
worthy cause, every citizen is
urged to contribute generously and
for every dollar you invest, the
town, state and nation will re
ceive dividends that cannot be
measured by monetary standards.”

Elkin Coal Piles Low
As No. Supply In Sight
Due To Miner Strikes
FARM HELPER
STILL MISSING
First Search Made By Sheriff
For Man Missing For j
More Than A Week
NO TRACE IS REPORTED
The first official search for
Walter Flasher—missing for more
than a week—was made Tuesday.
A spokesman from Sheriff Sam
Patterson’s office in Mount Airy
said yesterday that a hunt was
made for the Pittsburgh coal min
er for the first time Tuesday and
that papers and other bits of in
formation relating the missing
man’s history were extracted with
the intention of continuing the
! search later.
Flasher, who was a hired hand
on the farm of Decatur Gentry,
j farmer of the Elkin vicinity, left
! the residence last Monday to dig
potatoes. He failed to return to
the house when expected and an
investigation showed only a buck
et of potatoes he had dug and a
potato digger that he had used
; lying nearby.
Flasher had left his car with
keys' in the switch parked in the
| yard. Leaving the keys in the car
; was described as “unusual” by
members of the Gentry family.
: Other ai tides in the car included
1 some wearing apparel and a banjo.
An informal party of search
I ers on horseback began combing
the nearby woods which extend
from the Gentry farm to the Hugh i
| Chatham Memorial Hospital, but
no trace of the man was found.
Neighbors expressed concern that
no action had been taken by pro
per law enforcement officers.
Members of the Gentry family
said that Flasher had worked on
the farm before, but had return
ed from the mines only Saturday
before the Monday that he dis
appeared. They suggested possi
ble amnesia as the explanation for
his disappearance since he had
told them of a blow on the head
received in the mines when an
electric drill fell on him.
YADKIN STOCK

tions of Yadkin County attended a
meeting called by Mr. Williamson
in the county courthouse to act
on the proposal.
Tentative plans for the build

$30,000 and $35,000, including a
show ring and bleachers to seat
300 persons. The plans for the
barn list a capacity of 62 animals.
The livestock producers will be
requested to donate $25 each to
ward the building.
The building would be used for
the annual county dairy show and
by the Guernsey Breeder’s Asso

Ten Rules On How To Grow Old Gracefully
New York—Ten command
ments for a person to grow old
gracefully, as listed by Dr. Her
man Seidel of Baltimore:
He should continue to work at
his vocation and retain his ac
customed position in society as
long as possible.
Avoid sedentary habits and
inactivity, continue with what
ever open air activities or hob
bies he may be accustomed to;
if he has none he should ac
quire some.
Engage in systematic daily
exercise, designed to prevent or
overcome physical deformities;
these should include the practice
of deep breathing.
Make full use of helpful gad
gets such as hearing aids, eye
glasses and dentures.
Keep face and body free from
unsightly blemishes.
Always maintain self-respect
and dignity, be jealous of his
appearance, dress neatly, and
retain good manners.
Continue contact with buddies
and lifetime friends, and learn
to make new ones.
Follow good body hygiene and
sanitation; eat sensibly—a well
balanced diet of nourishing food.
Seelc medical advice at fre
quent intervals, and carry out
in full the advice given.
Above all avoid despair and
an outlook of futility, and “fear
God and keep His Command
ments, for this is all that is
required of a man.”
Dr. Seidel, chief of medicine,
Hebrew Home for the Aged and
Infirm, Baltimore, is author of
one chapter in a new book, “Re
habilitation of the Handicap
ped” edited by William H.
Soden.
One reason for a more cheer
ful outlook for older people is
that the nation has so many of
them, and will have even more
in the future. This fact is com
pelling research into the
changes and processes of aging,
and how to help people age
more gracefully, he says.
“It is inaction that is harm
ful to the aging person and not
action,” Dr. Seidel writes.

Dealer Says
Supply Could
Last A Month
Elkin residents this week hoped
| that the coming Winter would
| spare its chilly Blue Ridge winds
in the Yadkin Valley. The reason:
There will be no coal to replace
f that already in the bin unless
mines are put into operation again
before December.
Coal dealers in Elkin are with
out coal in their stockpiles, and
there’s none in view. However,
Gilbert Meed of the Carolina Ice
and Fuel Company, explained that
most of the heavier users of coal
had enough to operate until De
cember if they applied thriftiness.
Since first talk of strikes was
mentioned, Mr. Meed said, orders
were placed for more coal, and
at the time of the strike the
company had more than 60 tons
on hand. Later customers were
rationed to one ton per order.
Elsewhere in the state, how
ever, the North Carolina Retail
Coal Merchants Association warn
' ed that cold weather will bring
i suffering to the state.
H. M. Davidson of Greensboro,
president of the association, term
1 ed the available supply of coal
1 for domestic consumption “dan
gerously low.”
The weather bureau, in the
meantime, said that no severe cold
spell is immediately expected, but
the forecasters—noting that the
state’s first heavy frost usually
occurs about the middle of Octo
ber—wouldn't go beyond that in
their predictions. Cooler weather
is foreseen for the week-end, but
it could not be told as yet how
low the temperatures will be.
Mr. Davidson pointed out that
his survey showing depleted coal
supplies did not cover the situa
tion among the state's industrial
coal consumers.
The large industries which use
coal do their own buying and are
not threatened with immediate
shortages, he reported.
Two Charged After
BoonviHe Accident
Two young Boone men, Conley
Greene and Paul Edmondson,
who were driving a 1949 Chevrolet
convertible, collided with a car
driven by Mrs. Fred Snow of
Boonville near the intersection
Saturday night about 11:30. No
serious injury occurred to any of
the occupants, but both cars were
damaged considerably.
The wreck was investigated by
Patrolman Sam McKinney of El
kin, Sheriff Bill Moxley, and Pa
trolman Stewart of Yadkinville.
The two Boone men were charged
with reckless driving and were
placed under bond. Howard Cot
ti ell of Boone signed bond for
their appearance in court.
Streets To Get
Weekly Washing
Hard surface streets in Elkin's
residential sections will be wash
ed once a week beginning imme
diately, Mayor Richard Atkinson
said yesterday. Also, the town
will work with the State High
way Department in keeping the
Hugh Chatham Memorial Bridge
clean.
A night man will continue to
clean the downtown area and wash
the streets. New trash cans will
be purchased and placed on the
streets soon, it was said.
Unless you repent you will all
likewise perish—St. Luke 13:3.
