WE'D APPRECIATE SUGGESTIONS A recent brain spasm in this column of half-baked thoughts concerning the present status of the celebrated Browning knees has brough forth considerable comment, some of it to the fact that not only" are the knees and legs of a rather skinny character but also the entire Browning carcass. Well, when you get right down to it—to the carcass, we mean—we guess folks are right. Seems like we do re member hearing Mrs. B. remark on various and sundry yc-\ casions that we would make an ideal hall tree, and that she| was going to insist we sleep on the floor if we didn't quit snagging holes In the sheets with our ribs every time we turned over. You folks who are adequately upholstered by nature don't re alize what one of our build must go through with in life. When you are lucky enough to go to the beach in summer, you don't have to worry about your swim suit clad figure causing gasps of alarm on every side. But when we don a swim suit and ankle out to the water on every side can be heard exclamations of awe. interspersed with quite a number of giggles. H A NES WILL COOK GOOSE-FLESH!

Biggs, Receiver Elkin National Bank To one of our sensitive nature, these jeers at our figure are heart rending. Can we help it if Moth er Nature clothed our bones in a layer of skin and let it go at that? Is it our fault that no mat ter how many pills we take that are guaranteed to supply valuable minerals and fat building vita mins. we continue to cast a slim shadow? Can we be held responsi ble by any manner or means for our appearance or the fact that we rattle slightly when we walk? Is it of our doing that we've had several invitations to haunt a house? THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA 1 . 1 1 ' 11 We'd like to be plump just like you, but seems like the flesh just won't grow. We've tried most everything. A doctor once told us that If we'd have our tonsils taken out, we'd pick up weight like nobody's t business. So we had them grubbed out—and lost exactly 21 pounds in three days. To date—and that's been 10 years ago—we've gained back only five of those lost pounds. No more. Then we had appendicitis and out it came. "You'll pick up weight now," we were told. But so far we still have to hold a brick in each hand to balance the scales. So what? What would you do? Maybe at one time in your life you were rather boney? How did you gain weight? Any sugges tions from our nine readers will be gladly welcomed and publish ed here for the benefit of other unfortunate folks. That is, all suggestions but one or two inde jcent ones which several smarties hereabout, who run more to mouth than brains, will probably sug gest. • • • GOOD IDEA / We usually disagree With the Elkin commissioners on most ev erything, not because we think they're wrong, but because we are just naturally disagreeable, and because, too, every organized mi nority has a place In government. We feel that we hold the same position in town government that the Republicans hold In the na tional government. But getting back to the com missioners and their recent de cision to prohibit the Elkin fire department from going outside the town limits to fight fire. Now that the town has a new truck which is equipped to fight fires even beyond the water mains, it is only natural that lots of calls from fairly distant points will come in. Of course it would be nice if the truck could answer these calls, but what if while it was away out in the country attempting to ex tinguish a blazing barn or some thing, a house or store here in town should catch fire. If such was the case the town property would probably burn completely up before word could be gotten to the firemen to come on back home and squirt around in their own yard. It so happens that the cost of maintaining the fire department runs into a considerable figjure each year. Add to that the cost of the new truck, plus five hun dred dollars or so for new hose. Elkin taxpayers foot that bill, and Elkin taxpayers are entitled to ex clusive use of the fire department. Of course fire calls to Jonesville are to be answered under the new agreement reached at the last meeting of the Elk In commission ers. Under the agreement Jones ville will pay Elkin $250 annually for this protection—a real bar gain if they don't have a single fire a year. Because for a mere $250 dollars, Elkin is providing a new $3,000 truck AND THE WA TER to fight Jonesville fires. An nual fire protection at SI,OOO per year would be cheap. The new fire truck, while being jthe biggest asset Elkin can boast, runs up the cost of maintaining the department. The pumper generates tremendous pressure that won't let hose grow old in service. In other words, the pumper will burst hose that would operate all right on tegular hy drant pressure. This means that around 500 feet of new hose is going to have to be purchased each year—and that hose costs one dollar per foot. So there you have SSOO cost per year for hose alone—just twice the amount that Jonesville has to pay for the u*e of new truck, service of the fire men and water. And that's another of the rea sons that the town fathers have decided not to allow calls from outside the town limits of Elkin and Jonesville unless in case of dire emergency. And it's a wise decision, although in some cases it will probably look a little hard, especially when a call comes In Just a short distance over the line. * • * THIS AND THAT Speaking of the fire depart ment, both fire trucks are now housed on the ground floor of The Tribune building, and a pretty nice location it Is. It was found necessary to house the new truck in a building warm enough to prevent the radiator from freezing during the winter due to the fact that the truck is built in such a way that anti freeze cannot be used In it. When : the pumper is in action, a con stant stream of water circulates through the radiator and motor land pours out upon the ground. 'Any anti-freeze put In the radi ator would be wasted at the first fife. Of course they could do ,like I do Calamity. Just heat some bricks and pack them around the motor on a cold night and cover well with blankets. a But that might be too much, trouble.
