THIS AND THAT There is nothing: that will rob a person of all dignity quicker than an accidental sprawling fall in public. No matter how dignified the man or woman may be when up right, their dignity evaporates like a thin puff of smoke in a windstorm once they go sprawling to the pavement. Since Saturday morning we are an authority on falls. Tripping merrily along the pavement on Church street, with dignity oozing from every pore, we caught both feet in a wire hoop that had hidden itself upon the pavement and before you could say "scat!" there we were sprawled upon the pave ment in a painful and undigni-* fled pose. And for five minutes after we fell we could still hear shattered fragments of our right knee cap raining about the immediate sur roundings. To most people a fall is not so bad, but to a person like ourself, who nature forgot to clothe with more than a minimum of pad ding, such a fall was more in the nature of calamity. As we went down our bones began creaking loudly, and when we hit the pave ment it sounded on the order of REPORT OF CONDITION OF THE BANK OP ELKIN OF ELKIN IN THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA, At the Close of Businow on December 31, 1936 ASSETS I Cash, balances with other banks, and cash items in process of collection $284,216.11 United States Government obligations, direct and fully guaranteed 21,766.73 State, county, and municipal obligations 89,986.95 Loans and discounts 246,300.50 Banking house owned, furniture and fixtures 10,650.00 Other assets 574.32 TOTAL ASSETS . $653,494.61 LIABILITIES AND CAPITAL Deposits of individuals, partnerships, and corporations: (a) Demand deposits $297,540.71 (b) Time deposits evidenced by savings pass books .... 116,459.57 (c) Other time deposits 38,388.91 United States Government and postal savings deposits 11,900.00 State, county, and municipal deposits 51,506.12 Deposits of other banks ; 20,448.52 Certified and officers' checks, letters of credit and travelers' checks sold for cash, and amounts due to Federal Reserve bank (transit account) 4,076.18 TOTAL DEPOSITS $540,320.01 Dividends declared but not yet payable 437.50 Other Liabilities 15,699.85 Total Liabilities Excluding Capital Account $556,457.36 Capital account: (a) Capital stock and capital notes and debentures $50,000.00 (b) Surplus 25,000.00 (c) Undivided profits 5,559.64 (d) Reserves 16,477.61 (e) Total capital account 97,037.25 TOTAL LIABILITIES AND CAPITAL $653,494.61 On December 31, 1936 the required legal reserve against deposits of this bank was $64,373.05.

However, we survived although we did receive various abrasions, contusions and other things, like that which you'll find in medical dictionaries. But our dignity alas—was a total loss and the fact that our fall was witnessed made it more so. The next time we fall and may that day be long In coming —we are going to try to arrange for it to take place in some lone- THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA ly, secluded spot, and If possible, have a feither bed Instead of concrete street to do our landing on. • • • Have you ever noticed how you can see Saturday and Sunday? The other days in the week are very much alike, but Saturday and Sunday have their own per sonal characteristics. For in stance, now, as we gaze across the street from our window, we -an SEE it is Saturday. And Sun day, too, has a different look from any other day. However, sometime the days will combine to look alike. For In stance, Christmas day, Saturday and Sunday looked like triplets— three Sundays in a row. It's a fact that W. W. Whitaker forgot to have the fire siren here sound ed Saturday after Christmas be cause he forgot the day was Sat urday. To him, it looked like Monday. What lucky readers you are to have someone call all this to your attention. * • • Someone asked us the other day why, in writing this column, we divided some paragraphs with a dash, like this , and others with astericks, like this • • * ? We hastened to explain that when we are writing the entire column under a single heading such as "ITils and That," we use a dash to separate all the paragraphs pertaining to one subject, but when we are ready to change our trend of thought, we use as tericks. Know what he said? He said: "What thought?" that's what he said! • • • It's little things like that above that makes us want to go off and get us a job being vice-president of a bank. And by that, we don't mean active vice-president. You take Qarland Johnson, down at The Bank of Elkin. He's active vice-president and one of the busiest men anywhere around here, especially when we show up in search of an ad. It's a sight how busy that man can get the minute we pop in the door. Speaking of Mr. Johnson, he is one man who really lives for his profession. It's nice for a per son to really like their job, but in Mr. Johnson's case he just sleeps and eats banking. And when you get right down to it, he knows a heck of a lot about it or else he's memorized a lot of high sounding language we are too dumb to un derstand. We were thinking the other night how terrible it would be for Mr. Johnson to get shipwrecked on a ■ deserted island without a bank in sight. Still, if he did, bet inside of two weeks he'd have every wave rolling upon the beach bearing interest. , Then you take R. C. Lewellyn, president of the local bank. He doesn't come over often, but when he does we think it must be for sort of a sobering effect on nit wits like ourself. When we go in and see him perched back in the rear of the office, looking over the top of his glasses, we sort of feel like turning around and running like everything. Still, he's a real ly nice fellow and has always been very kind and considerate to us. And when anyone is kind and considerate after having to put up with us they're bound to have good qualities. • * • Since the recent ordinance here prohibiting all-day parking in the business area was put into effect, there has been much comment on the part of a great number of people with the majority heartily in favor of the ordinance. And It must be admitted the law has en forced Itself well with a minimum of police activity, car owners just naturally deciding to obey the law. For the most part they are still doing it, but we notice here and there a bit of backsliding on the part of those who, above all oth ers, should respect and observe this law. Where they used to park outside the restricted zone, they are now easing in—and staying all day. Of course it's none of our business, personally, but If they can do it and get by with it, why should we continue to go to the trouble of parking away off and walking to workr Especialy since we've got all those abrasions, contusions and lacerations.
