THE ELKIN TRIBUNE Published Every Thursday by ELK PRINTING COMPANY, Inc. ' Elkin, N. C. Thursday, December 1, 1938 Entered at the post office at Elk!a, N. C., as second-class matter. a 8. FOSTER... JPwalde** «. F. LAFFOON Secretary-Treasurer SUBSCRIPTION RATES. PER YEAR In the State, 11.50 Oat of the State. f&M If only a fellow could be as good as he promises to be when he has had a close call with death. _ Britain is dealing us a king and queen, but that doesn't mean she won't be keeping and ace in the hole. Just as soon as all the cornshuckings are over, we're going to give a leaf-raking that will be a wow. , Maybe a fellow could hear these calls for peace, if it were not for the noise of the riveting machines, building battleships. You could avoid a lot of present and future grief if you'd consult your wife, when you are tempted to engage in an in nocent little flirtation. "Try Elkin Stores First" The pages of this paper today are filled with messages of potential value to those who approach the Christmas season with the desire to make their dollars go as far as they can: who want to be liberal in their giving, yet frugal in their expenditures. As is their custom our merchants are using our columns as their show windows in which they give you a glimpse of what you will find on their counters and shelves. It will pay you to ponder these exhibits, search out the values, list your needs and visit the Elkin stores, for we dare to say that our local merchants can supply your every want —and perhaps at a saving to you. Certainly there should be no "out-of town" shopping by our own people, if our local stores can provide the needs and at prices that are in line with other places. Our merchants are asking nothing more than that we "try Elkin stores first." If you can consistently say that the range of selection or that the prices are not satis factory, they will not be grumbling. And to our rural friends we would re mind that their interests are inseparably bound up with those of the Elkin merchants. The success of one is largely dependent upon the success of the other. And if the section as a whole is to go forward, there must be a pulling together. Our merchants con tribute in a large way to the support of the city and county government. They cannot carry their part of the load, when the source of their income is sapped by merchants in other towns, whose profits go to build up other communities. As a result of the subscription campaign just closed this paper is going into many new homes, and it is timely to tell these new readers what Elkin has in store for them. The pages of today's paper will re veal many values the merchants are offer ing, but this is only a part of the story. A visit to our local stores is necessary for a full realization of what they have provided for the holiday trade. These new readers, like the old ones will find our merchants de pendable, courteous and appreciative. "Try Elkin Stores First." The Significance of It It may be that only a few of our readers are interested in football but those who are take it very, very seriously. But even the progressive, forward-looking farmer who never spent any time on the sidelines and never expects to will be interested in one aspect of recent developments in the game, developments that were climaxed with Duke University's significant win from Pitf, at Durham last Saturday. / We have been having a lot of discussion, pro and con about the South as one sort of problem or another. Some of the concern is justified and some of it not so much so. Much that comes in the latter classification is there because the South is deliberately misunderstood by those who wouldn't take the trouble to understand. F6r a long time whatever prowess the South has had on the football field, what ever claim to superiority in that realm, re ceived mighty little notice above the line. Northern commentators spread themselves all over pages and clogged the microphone with detail description of all the games in the metropolitan orbit, closing with a brief mention of Southern scores. It was notice able that way. But not so of late. When Carolina goes North for a game there is plenty of respect for her team, and so it is with Georgia, Ala bama and the rest. And now comes Duke to do the unthinkable by humbling about the best they have to trot out, and Duke and North Carolina get national recognition. For there is little doubt that Duke will be invited to the Rose Bowl to determine the national championship—if Duke wants to go. What does that mean to any but football cranks, you ask. Well, one may not be able to put his finger on any tangible, direct benefit, but if there is any value in pub licity, and there is, then the mere fact that we are held in high favor in any respect is bound to be resultful. Add superiority in football, to superiority in agricultural ac complishments, industrial, educational or political achievements, and have a total that attracts. Those who have looked upon us as a benighted, backward, sluggish section, change their mind. They suddenly decide that they want to neighbor and trade with, us, and some of them actually come and abide with us. Not so bad, that Duke win, taking every thing into consideration. , In the Hands of a Gang This one little paragraph by Dorothy Thompson is in itself a complete diagnosis of the disease that is eating at the vitals of Europe at this time: "Germany, a great, Industrious, civilized people, is in the hands of a gang, and the German Government is a super-racket." That seems to have been obvious to ev eryone save Chamberlain and Daladier when they attended the auction sale at Munich. There they dealt with the chief of racketeers who hi-jacked them out of their shirts. But they would not listen to their own experts who told them that the great mass of the German people and even some of Germany's military leaders were not with Hitler in his demands. If ever there was a time for a show down it was at Munich. After that there was nothing left but to follow Hitler even if he was headed for hades. Dorothy Thompson is right. The Ger man people are a great, industrious and civi lized nation. They have contributed much to the welfare of mankind, and in apprais ing them there should be a distinction be tween them and the tribe that now pre sumes to rule. In this Jew issue that has so aroused the world, it is as plain as day that the German people were unwilling to follow Hitler's lead in the organized window-smashing and offi cial suppression of Jewish trade places. If the German people had hated the Jews as Hitler wanted them to hate, there would have been no inclination to patronize them, hence no need for forcible means to make them quit. But because the German masses would not respond to the Hitler hate he in his might has assumed the job for himself, and he only has to look toward Doom for the answer to what he may expect from such tyranny. True the German people are to blame for Hitler's supremacy, but even now it is not too much to expect them eventually to tell him where to head in. That day was de layed by what took place at Munich. His success there gave him a new foothold, and now he rr>ust keep the public mind aflame with something, and the Jew, right now serves his best purpose. Highly Shameful, But-^ The net revenue of ABC stores in the 27 wet counties of North Carolina last fiscal year was a million and a quarter dollars for the counties and nearly $500,000 for the state, if one wants to look at the dollar-and cent value of the legalized liquor depots. But while the Charlotte News admits that it is all highly shameful, trafficking in the demon rum like this, still: "Liquor money is tainted money, pro hibitionists insist. And yet, yessir, and yet Mecklenburg could use some of that revenue. Mecklenburg never has stopped drinking as much as it wanted. It drank all through state prohibition, and national prohibition, and it is drinking now, more politely because of na tional repeal and repeal in South Carolina. But it is still drinking. "And the two chief effects of its drinking wet and voting dry are: (1) That South Caro lina gets the revenue that belongs to Meck lenburg; and (2) that the system nurtures big time bootleggers, disrespect for law and cor ruption in the agencies of the law. It is too bad, but it is the truth, and there isn't a single, solitary thing to be done about it." It is like sticking out one's neck to ap parently approve the conclusions that ap pear so plainly in that comment. But inas much as there is no plan to set up legalized liquor stores in these parts, there can be no harm in looking at the matter calmly and appraisingly. That million and a quarter dollars doubt less saved each of the twenty-seven coun ties a number of headaches. Must have been reflected either on the tax receipts of the citizens or in increased service render ed. The $500,000 that went to the State, too, saves the taxpayers just that much. And all of this cash was just like money out of the air, because it came from a source that would have paid, yes, but not into the pub lic treasury. When, if ever, we have prohibition that prohibits; when the traffic in rum is brought to an irreducible minimum, we can well stand up against legalized stores that would extend the consumption. But so long as we continue to consume undisturbed, the notion here is that it were better if some of the profits are shaken into the govern ment till, particularly if in the process of shaking there is promise also of control. To some that may be the rankest heresy, but it is also good common sense.

LITTLE ELKIN SCHOOL DESTROYED BY BLAZE The building of the Little Elkin school in Wilkes county, located between Elkin and Ronda. was completely destroyed by fire ear ly Tuesday morning- The building, a two room wood structure, was heated by stoves but it is doubtful if the fire origi nated from these, as the fire was too long catching from fire left in the building the previous after noon, however the source of the fire is not known. When the blaze was discovered about day break by residents of the com munity, the building and con tents were beyond saving from destruction. Read Tribune Advertisements!
