AW, SHUCKS!
Two or three days ago we received
a letter, written on Salvation Army
stationery, from New York. It was
signed "Adam Elam," who is no
stranger to these columns.
The contents of the letters fol
lows: Dear Browning: Am sending
yon a much marked copy of the
Daily Mirror; and have asked the
publishers (he must know something
on 'em) to mail one to you for the
next three months. Maybe the Grab
Brag Colyum won't be so rotten for
a while. Yours phooey, Adam Elam."
Naturally we were elated over the
prospects of receiving a mirror ev
ery day, what with our wife com
plaining bitterly because we broke
the one in the bath room, so imagine
our surprise and dismay when only a
New York tabloid, The Daily Mirror,
appeared!
However, it has continued to ar
rive daily since then, thankS to the
goodness of Mr. Elam, so why should
we kick? It's not costing us any
thing.
But to get back to the marked
copy the letter mentioned. A pen
cilled note on the front page di
rector! us to Walter Wlnchell's col
umn, across the top of which was
written "Try this on your cockeyed
mess." And after reading the col
umn through we found to our sur
prise that Mr. Winchell is not nearly
as lousy as he sounds over the radio.
To the right of the column on the
same page was an advertisement of
a play at one of the New York thea
tres. The name of the play was
"Let's Have A Baby." And under it
Mr. Elam had written "All right by
me." Knowing him as we do we
hasten to add "Oh yeah!"
Anyway, we appreciate Mr. Elam's
thoughtfulness in having the Daily

Mirror sent to us so that we, in
perusing the efforts of other famous
columnists, might improve our own
weekly masterpieces. But after
reading them daily we've become so
mixed up that not only have we
failed to improve this one, but we
can't even get started.

MUTTER AND MUMBLE
Now that Mr. Schaff has been
elected as superintendent of the lo
cal school we anticipate no shortage
in the announcement market . . .
Fire destroyed an Elkin barn last
week. Everyone in town, including
the local fire truck, attended. The
fire truck, due to its advanced age,
was brought in a wheel chair . . .
The Merchants association's musi
cal comedy, "Miss Bob White," goes
on tonight. And are we dreading
our part. Mrs. Griffeth, the direc
tor, promised us that we could keep
for our own all the over-ripe to
matoes and assorted fruits which
might be coming our way . . . We
never knew how much feet we had
until we tried to do a dance—or how
ittle voice we had until we attempted
to warble. Oh, well, anything for
art . . . Our two kids broke out with
measles within a half hour of each
other. Which is much better than
having two separate cases . . . Win
ter gave us about every kind of
weather he had last Friday. Rain,
sleet and snow. It did everything
but clear off  . . A North Wilkes
boro reader of the Gab Bag (five
readers now, don't you know), sends
word that he found a mistake in
this column some weeks ago. And
here we have been laboring under
the opinion that the whole column
was a mistake. We'd appreciate it if
he would write and let us know what
the mistake was. We want to frame
it . . . Carl Poindexter recently re
turned home from New York—with
a crick in his neck from looking up
. . During the sleet last Friday a
lone robin was seen hopping about
on the lawn of the Home Hotel—
and he didn't look very cheerful . . .
We miss Les Aldridge very much . . .
Brother Whisenhunt, in making a
talk before the Kiwanis club last
Friday night, stated he was very
much surprised to hear the club sing
ing hymns during the opening of
the program, until he remembered
that preachers were present . . , You
can .depend on the Kiwanis club to
have a song for every occasion.

THIS AND THAT
The local firemen hai e received
their new raincoats, hats and boots.
Now if they just won't wear them
out in the rain.

Traffic was blocked on the old
bridge last Saturday morning for
about ten minutes. A mule, hitched
to a wagon, fell down on the ice.
And that's something you seldom
see.

Who repiembers when farmers
used to get out of their vehicles and
hold their teams every time an auto
mobile came along. Nowadays the
only thing that will scare a horse is
another horse.
