>tkrMcl&y« Deeember 2* 1937 THIS, THAT, THINGS AND STUFF Fortified with a headache powder and pausing now and then to shoo away gay little Santa Clauses that seem to dance in a row atop the typewriter, we dive headlong into this column to grace a page of The Tribune's Annual Christ mas Shoppers' Edition. / Nope, we haven't been drunk, but for the past several days we have been neck deep in holly borders, Santa Clauses, toys, sensible gifts, novelty gifts, unusual gifts, worthwhile gifts and gifts, gifts, gifts, which nat urally has been a wee bit of a strain on our mind, which at its best, is nothing to brag about. So, things being what they are, this column proves quite restful, be cause while we write it our mind can be put completely out of gear. Few people, glancing casually through an edition such as this, realize the amount of work that must necessarily go into it. When they look at an advertisement, they see merely an attractive ar rangement of type and cuts. They don't realize that back of each ad. is first, a layout. In which the entire advertisement Is layed out in pencil on paper, with proofs of the various cuts pasted into place.

K., etc. Nor do they think of the time and work consumed in setting the small type on the linotype; the laying out of the borders, boxes, rules and whatnot; the work of the sterreotyper, handling molten metal at near white hot temper ature in casting the various cuts (or pictures), from pasteboard matrices; the delicate sawing op erations that are a constant threat to the fingers of the make up men, and other necessary pro cedure which enables an ad. to come before your eyes in your newspaper. The average reader doesn't think of this, but after all, why should he? It's not his worry. THE gI.KIN TRIBUNE. ELKIN. NORTH CAROLINA It's the same way with other businesses. For instance, take the business of running a store. A customer goes in and sees the merchandise laying on shelf and counter in orderly fashion and the clerks waiting to serve him. He doesn't realize that back of each item is a lot of hard work done in the hours in which the store was closed. An Elkin merchant was discus sing this Saturday. "For instance," he pointed out, "we receive 50 dozen handkerchiefs to one ship men. Each of these handkerchiefs first had to be checked and tag ged before being placed on sale." And that goes for every other item that is sold in the store, to addition to the work necessary to making displays, window dress tog, etc. But away from so much shop talk. Goodness, the way our head is aching now we had rather not talk at all. What we'd like to do is go off somewhere and go to sleep and sleep until about the 10th of January, 1938. Although we enjoy Christmas heaps, it's also a big pain to the neck, heaps. And speaking of Christmas our houghts naturally turn to "Home town Jamboree," which is sched uled to come off on the stage of the Lyric Theatre here Friday, December 10th. We have big hopes for this show as it will probably be the last of the Super DeLuxe Browning Extravaganzas. With the generous aid of many around here we have taken the responsibility of staging shows for (1) the Elkin Pair, (2), the Elkin Merchants association, (3) the Trikln Prebyterian Church, and now (4), the high school ath letic association. At each of these shows an overflow crowd has been in attendance, which only goes to show that Elkin folks can certainly take it on the chin! However, with the assistance of Byron Bryan, Leon Martin, the school glee club, the Wild Man and his Wile from Borneo, Gene Hall, and others who will prob ably come as a surprise, we are hoping to make "Hometown Jamboree" really entertaining and exceedingly funny. If it isnt, ask for your money back —then try and get it. Already a number of people have started scoffing at the Wild Man and his wife from Borneo. But always you will find scoffers. And they will take back all they are now saying when they really see these two amazing cannibalis tic creatures from the wilds of darkest Borneo upon the stage of the Lyric theatre. See if they don't. Others have questioned Gene Hall's ability to sing. Well, there will be another surprise there. Why it wouldn't surprise us if Ca ruso turned over" in his grave when Gene throws his vocal cords into action -r- he's that good. And when a fellow can arouse the dead with his singing boy that's singing. Or ain't it? But enough of these plugs for "Hometown Jamboree." It's now time to turn a little of our un divided attention upon the gen tleman who was here some weeks ago under the name of the one and only Jesse James. If he was the real Jesse James, then we are Abraham Lincoln without a beard just before going into our Get tysburg address. Although Jesse was quick with dates, places, things and stuff when we talked to him, he always veered the conversation around , OFFICER# flVf « .dWIW. |/» • DIRECTORS W. ■. LANKFOUD ■ ■ ■ MM MUt.

Waynick resigned today as direc tor of the state division of pur chase and contract, and immed iately Capitol Hill began speculat ing on his successor. Prominently mentioned tonight to succeed Waynick was W. Z. Betts, who has been in the divi sion since 1920. Waynick's resignation is effec tive December 15. He will return to his home at High Point to be come editor of the Enterprise. Governor Clyde R. Hoey told The Journal that he would name Waynick's successor within the next "two or three days." He would make no comment as to who he has in mind for the po sition. But most political observers here believed the Governor would appoint Betts who is conceded to be the best qualified man in the department for the job. However, it was pointed out that he has been passed by on three )ther oc casions. Tailoring Drew MiHng AH Ktods at Sewtnjf Mrs. C. W.
