ENTERED AS SECOND-CLASS MATTER AUGUST 20, 1928, AT THE POSTOFFICE AT TRYON, N. C. UNDER THE ACT OF CONGRESS, MARCH 3, 1879 THE TRYON DAILY BULLETIN Ic per copy (The World’s Smallest Daily Newspaper) lc per copy SteTH M. Vining, Editor $1.50 Year in the Carolinas Vol. 14. Est. 1-31-28 COMMUNICATIONS Columbus, February 6, 1941. Mr. C. J. Lynch, Tryon, North Carolina. jp)My dear Mr. Lynch: When people ask you what is wrong with Columbus, kindly tell them Columbus is a fine place—as are all places—but that the fault lies in SOMIE of its people. Last summer when the Kiwanis Club of Tryon sponsored a Pet Parade for the boys and girls of Columbus it was appreciated by many as a friendly expression of that widely-praised cooperative Tryon spirit. As you recall, this parade was voted an annual affair and many of our boys and girls began their plans to make this an outstanding event. They began training their pets, others bought or begged dogs to train and often spoke of your kindly attitude to ward youngsters who spent their time with their pets. Today Co ' is full of sad little faces many tears. Almost a dozen well loved dogs, and several cats are dead. The result of some no good, heartless person deliberately nutting out 'poison for them. It is known of a well-known person here sometime ago tying a stray dog to a tree and beating it to death with a stick.

Why not carry the plan into Congress and give an airing to some of the trouble-makers and scare-mongers who are delay ing the lend-lease bill, and inci dentally save the nation a lot of wear and tear? We nominate the hesitators, the doubters, the chronic objectors, the two-way walkers, the slogan-slingers,—Oh lots of them need a vacation. But give first place to the “if-Britain falls-society”. As long as they are harping and “foreseeing” the Nazi ranks rejoice and beat the tom-toms. If they would only stop trying to decide what we will do if Britain falls they might think of something to do to keep her standing. All "the “If’s” and ’’But’s” and their cousins and their aunts might join the happy throngs; so many could be spared and the vacation spots need the money. And where to go? Oh let’s not ,start an argument on that. There are many nice places. We suggest the Red Desert, the Blue Nile, the Green Pastures. As the old ballad puts it: “The world is wide; let them roam thru life.” We should like to contribute to the transportation fund and per haps provide light refreshments en route, say, Tryon tea, “very weak, please, with lemon.” Seriously speaking, have you PLEASE TURN TO BACK PAGE
