North Carolina Newspapers

V THEY ARB AIJ, ALIKE In our experience as a newspaper pest we've come in contact with quite a number of society editors both on dally papers and on week lies and it is really quite remark able how very much alike they all are —in their writing. Frankly, it is very seldom we ever r*»ad the society columns of any newspaper, not because we think it le an unimportant feature but be cause we've never been particularly interested In what Mrs. So and So wore at the party and what she served and what the guests did and said, etc. But sometimes it is our fate to have to proof read society news, and thus we have kept up our acquaintonce with the goings on of the social elect and the adjectlvivial (that's a good word), splurges of the society editors. A society editor is never at a loss for proper adjectives.

The other day we were reading a bit of society news highly spiced with adjectives and details and we got to thinking what a news story about an automobile wreck would sound like if written up in first class society editor style. Perhaps it would sound something like this: Elkin, Jan. 31. (United Test.) — Mrs. John Blah-Blah entertained at a delightful automobile wreck south of her home on Bridge street Mon day afternoon when her highly pol ished automobile went out of con trol and sidled into a lovely spruce telephone pole. Attractive pieces of wreckage were scattered about the scene of the accident.and Mrs. Blah-Blah was pinned beneath the l steering wheel of the overturned machine wearing a beautiful tweed dress of brown tweed. One of the first to reach the scene w'as Mr. Blaa, who was pass ing when the accident occurred. He was dressed in an attractive pair of overalls and was driving a pair of brown mules hitched to a Nissen wagon, which was manufactured in Winston-Salem several years ago. Just as Mr. Blaa was endeavoring to- pull Mrs. Blah-Blah from the wreckage, Mrs. Blah-Blah sneezed, whereupon Mr. Blaa handed her a a lovely white handkerchief with a THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN. NORTH CAROLINA blue border wblch bad been a Christmas present from his aunt Lucy. In the meantime several other guests had arrived and by grouping themselves about the overturned car they managed to lift it off Mrs. Blah-Blah who immediately read a paper expressing her thanks. The rescue list included Mr. Blaa, Mr. and Mrs. Snoop, Mr. and Mrs. Burp and John Saw. Everyone agreed the wreck was a most de lightful affair and all accompanied Mrs. Blah-Blah to the local hospital where she was operated upon by Dr. Cuttem, who was attired in a spotless white gown and beautiful rubber gloves. It is expected Mrs. Blah-Blah may be able to leave the hospital this afternoon provided she has no ser ious complications. HITHER AND YON It's hard to write a column with Clyde Eller running about in the rear of the dhop, chasing one of the mechanical force with a tape meas ure and cloth samples . . . Which reminds us it's about time we went down and swiped an orange . . . Huey Long wasting the time of the senate while the nation cries for bread . . . What has the matter of the Philllpines getting their inde pendence ten years from now got to do with relief for 12,000,000 Job less Americans? . . . There's a lot of difference in the action of a pol itician before and after election . . . OH YEAH? It has reached our ears that! Su perintendent Walter R. Schaff made the statement that he knows how to rear children as well, If not bet ter, lhan the parents themselves. As the pappy of two young hope fuls ourself, we wonder If Mr. Schaff hasn't made his statement rather broad. For instance, what would he do to relieve a case of colic In the middle of a cold winter night? Why we are willing to bet he doesn't know the correct number of safety pins. But maybe he meant children of school age. Having no children of school age, we won't say. Still, we can't help but be reminded of the old maid aunt. * • COMMENDABLE Speaking of school superintend ents, we have been invited up to the school sometime, not to make a speech, but to look over the school library, which is said to be "quite fitten'." We haven't had time to make the visit as yet, but we are going to be fore long, because the very mention of the word library reminds us of many happy hours when we were at Duke. • During those days we spent every vacant period in the library, until one day they removed the long benches and substituted straight back chairs. As if anyone could sleep in those uncomforable things! * • * THIS AND THAT The airplane which crashed at Winston-Salem recently, resulting Jn the death of one man and the ser ious injury of two others, was the same plane that Ab Somers used to have here. • » • Safe enough for ordinary flying, the plane was not in shape for stunting, which resulted in its crash. Thus another black eye for aviation due directly to recklessness on the part of the pilot. * • • In the future airplanes will be safer than automobiles are today. * • • It's rumored about town that Jones Holcomb left a bathtub on the sidewalk in front of his plumb ing establishment the other night, i and that a rain came up and ruined it. It's been quite some time since we've had a fire here (at this writ ing). Which , may mean that that rat has permanently moved to Sparta or elpe the secret committee has killed it. ♦ • • The last time we mentioned the fact that there hadn't been a fire here in sometime, one broke out before the blooming column got into print—thus the "(at this writing)." » • • Dixie Graham was muttering in his beard the other day of dire things to befall those local motor ists who do not buy city license tags. Evidently from the number of cars sporting 1932 city tags above their 1933 state tags, their ownera* think the old tags good for another year. • • * Ted Brown showed us his mem bership card in the North Carolina Firemen's Association which enti tles the bearer to break out all the window glasses he may think neces sary—which means all ot 'em. i . * • * Flu got you yet? Anyway, we've discovered that Ka»y isn't a one-way street.—Mil waukee Leader.
