m By ALAN BROWNING, Jr. DR. M. A. ROYALL In presenting to our ninfe readers Dr. M. A. Royall, of Elkin, we are faced with the task of presenting a man better known to those who' will read this than he is to the one w'ho writes it. For we have known Dr. Royall only four or five years while you have prob ably known him many years longer. But not to be outdone, we have gone back into history to dig up facts about the man who for many years has not only served Elkin and the people of this section as a physician and specialist in diseases of the ear, eye, nose and throat, but has also served the town as Mayor, having been elected in 1928 and holding office until last year when he declined to again become a candidate. Dr. Royall hails from Yad kin county. He took his medi cal course at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Baltimore and received his li- cense in 1885. He located at Hamptonville and later moved to Yadkinville, practicing at these two places for 25 years. Dur ing this time he took a number of general courses in Balti- more and Philadelphia. In 1906 he took his first course in his specialty at Polyclinic, Philadel phia, and in 1910 took post grad uate work there. He did additional post graduate work in New York in 1912. He has been practicing his profession in Elkin since 1912. Serving as Mayor of Elkin is not Dr. Royall's sole claim to fame in public office, he having at one time represented the dis trict consisting of Yadkin, Davie Eyes Examined Office: Glasses Fitted Elkin National Bank Building DR.

We wouldn't want to say for sure, but next to his love for his profession, we believe fox hunting comes next. He owns a number of fox hounds and believes in using them, there probably not being a fox for miles around who doesn't know him personally. We could ramble on and on THE ELKIN TRIBUNE. ELKIN. NORTH CAROLINA about Dr. Royall and still not get through, but we've got to leave space for some plain and idiotic foolishness below. So, in conclusion we'll say there are a number 1 of honors both in and without his profession that have been bestowed upon him, and that he is, as everyone knows, one of Elkin's most liked, honor- , ed and respected citizens. And in so saying, we have no pet axe to grind because our tonsils have al ready been removed. • • * THANKS, THANKS We little realized when we ran our own picture in the Gab Bag last week that literally hundreds of people (well, two folks any way), would flock to The Tribune office to offer congratulations on the photograph. "I never before saw a picture which did anyone such complete justice," one reader exclaimed. "It was exactly like you in every respect." Another reader wanted to know if the picture was really a photo graph of the exterior or an x-ray of the interior of our head. "It could readily pass for either," he explained. v • It goes without saying that we appreciate the compliments and extend our sincere thanks for both of them. Nothing makes us col umnists any happier than to re ceive such generous praise. THIS AND THAT We've mentioned it before, but we still maintain that if it wasn't for the wither there would be lots more embarrassing silences than there are now. You know. Two folks meet and then start talking about the wea ther. Such as: "Sure is hot to day, isn't it?" when the person making that remark knows that the person to whom he is making it knows that it sure is hot today. And so on. Pick up somebody in your car and we'll guarantee that in 99 cases out of a hundred the first words that greet you will be about the weather. When you sit down and think about it, it's downright silly, yet a universal gap-in-conversation bridger over. Especially has the weather come in for its share of attention in recent weeks. Although not- of ficial, the same thermometer that had the temperature down to three below zero last winter had it up to 104 last week. Personal ly, it seemed hotter than that. But 104 is not so hot as com pared to our great grandfather's time. He said one summer it got so hot that the town pump spout ed live steam for three weeks and that great grandma had to do all her cooking in the refrigerator in order to hold things down to a boil. During the heighth of the warm spell, Grandpa, who was terribly thin, drank a couple of bottles of red ink and hired him self out as a thermometer. We've been thinking of going into the same business. Now that the second primary is over the local Democrats can settle down to cussing the Re publicans for a change, instead of one another.
