Thursday, May 19, 1938 THIS AND THAT No doubt it just hasn't been thought of, but the recent clean-up campaign here got us to thinking that it would cost very little and do a lot of good to give the various trash receptacles located here and there on the business streets a new coat of paint. For instance, the one located in front of the new post office, all battered and scarred as it is, doesn't improve the appearance of the postoffice. But a new coat of paint would UiiVV V* V*»v make it look much better, and 4 with two expr It painters avail able like thost doys who drive the town truck, it-.could probably be done without a special called meeting of the commissioners. However, in case the receptacles should get a coat of paint some | I SOU) THE CHOICEST LOTS Of my LA sr*~\ f CROP TO CAMELS AT TOP PRICES.

ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA While our suggestion depart ment 15 functioning so well It might not be a bad idea to point out to whoever is supposed to be pointed out to, that the seats in the school auditorium here are in a sad state. ' Many of the seats are gone al together; others are broken in half while still others are weak in their Joints and unsafe to sit upon unless one doesn't mind various and sundry splinters. And being as the elementary school building is not going to have any fire escapes due to the fact that the powers that be figure they don't need them and don't want to spend the money for them, then why not spend a little and repair the seats. Or maybe they figure people can be just as com fortable sitting on the floor? Personally, judging from the one we had to sit in one night during commencement, we would have been MORE comfortable sitting on the floor. However, we wouldn't have been able to see the stage quite as good. The ev ening of the graduation exercises we didn't have any seat trouble at all—we stood up. • * * Getting back to the clean-up campaign here some weeks ago, we recently heard someone re mark that there was a good deal of enthusiasm displayed at the beginning of the drive, but that it seemed to wear off as time passed, with the result that many untidy alleys and other unsightly spots are still doing business at the old stand. Which means, we reckon, that many who promised to cooperate just promised. * • * There's no doubt about it, we've just got to quit carrying on so many of the famous Browning Resultless Campaigns. That is, resultless for everyone but us. If you can remember back for the past several years, you may be able to call to mind that we campaigned long and hard for a new fire truck for Elkin. Then one day when we weren't looking, the town bought a new fire truck. So what? So our house burned up. Time passed—and then came the traffic dinkuses. We are one of the 99 per cent, who believe the things to be a menace to traffic rather than an aid. So— we crank up our campaign ma chinery and aim it at the traffic dinkuses. So what? Nothing, ex cept we hit one hard one day rather than hit a wrongly parked car, and broke a rear spring. Time continues to pass but double parking lingers on. Off and on we've directed our best [deluxe anti-double-parking cam i paign at the problem, but to no avail. Then—just last Saturday —we were rolling along Main street on the way home to lunch. Ahead, directly in front of the Basketeria, a well-known Elkin young lady was double parked. Due to approaching cars, there was nothing to do but stop behind her. We did—and wham! A car behind our car crashed into us, bending the bumper, smashing the spare tire cover and tire lock arm, and shaking us around like a little pea in a big pod, also tearing the bumper off the car that hit us. The young lady directly re sponsible for this damage drove merrily aft upon her way. She hadn't done anything—jiyst vio lated a town ordinance and caused two automobiles to be damaged. Town ordinances! About as ef fective as a squirt gun at a three alarm fire! And everybody knows it! FAIRVIEW Mr. and Mrs. Grady Corder and family, also Mrs. Corder's mother, Mrs. Haston Wilmoth, attended -the Jones reunion at Mr. Jim Jones' near Ararat Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Emory White and family, of near Dobson, spent the afternoon Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Hodge. The farmers of this section were very glad indeed to see the nice showers we had last week. Our land was getting very dry and the crops were needing rain. Rev. H. R. Stanley made a bus iness trip to Elkin Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Brady Philips had as their Sunday guests Mr. and Mrs. Gilmer Corder and family, of Rusk, and Mr. and Mrs. Paul Flynn, of Level Cross. Mrs. John Allen Snow spent last week with her mother, Mrs. Everett Alberty. Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Corder and Mr. and Mrs. Richard Poindexter made a business trip to Winston- Salem last Friday. The majority of the farmers in this section are very much dis satisfied with the tobacco sign-up the way it is given out. Some have more than their allotment. And many of us have not enough to fool with, not even enough to prime a barn at a time. There is no justice in the way it has been handled. AUSTIN Mr. and Mrs. Bill Dameron and Mr. and Mrs. Hayes Dameron and children, Dorothy and Carol, of Danville, Va., spent last Monday 'and Tuesday here visiting Mrs. Belle Lyon. Mrs. Carl Solemon, of Ports mouth, Ohio, who is visiting her sister here, spent last Friday night with Mrs. Charlie Young, of Elkin. Mrs. C. S. Lyon visited Mrs. Bedford Brown, of Jonesvllle, last Friday afternoon. Miss Euara Crabb, of Winston- Salem, visited her mother, Mrs. Flossie Crabb, here Sunday.
