QUITE A BIT OF THIS AND THAT
As one who gets around town quite a bit (there are folks
who think we never do any work because we stay on the
street so much), we'll have to pass on to Abe Harris and
his crew the compliments of a lot of people for the attractive
job they did on installing the decorative Christmas lights pn
Main street. Of course we made a few suggestions while
the work was in progress, but the success of the entire
layout is probably due to the fact that none of our sugges
tions were taken.
Not only do the street lipf]
Christmas spirit into folks' bones.*
Our bones (and who has more?) I
are just bulging with it.
Those of you who enjoy the
lights have Elkin's progressive
merchants to thank for them. It
costs considerable to install such
lights, even though no one made
a profit on the job, not even the
electricians who put them up,
and seems to us that the mer
chants here did a fine Job of co
operating.

We had a letter from our
Uncle Culpepper this morning.
He says that he was in to Hills
boro, Orange county's capital, the
other morning buying the ingred
ients for a fruit cake Aunt
Frousy was planning to make
Saturday. However, Uncle Cul
said, Aunt Frousy hasn't gotten
the cake made yet because
Grandma Frump has been having
trouble with her feet and has
been using the cake pan to soak
them in.
Grandma Frump's feet trouble
proves no surprise to us. She
always said that shoes were in
struments of old Nick, and brags
of the fact that she never had a
bit of trouble with her feet until
she and grandpa celebrated their
golden wedding anniversary by
coming to Hillsboro to watch the
afternoon train come in. On ac
count of the snow, Grandpa in
sisted she wear shoes. That was
when her foot troubles began.
THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA
Uncle Cul writes that the old
lady is not sis spry as she once
was. He said he had suggested
to Grandpa Frump that he either
take over splitting the kindling
or else buy granny a lighter axe.
Grandpa says he doesn't know
what to do in the matter, but if
grandma gets to the place where
she can't do anything but very
light work he's going to get her a
job with the WPA.

We haven't opened our big
mouth at all about the change in
the parking regulations here, pro
or con, however we hope there's
no harm in passing on some of
this comment we've heard con
cerning the change. As matters
now stand, the majority of those
we've heard discuss the matter
I are of the opinion that the new
j wheels to curb system of parking
'makes the street look better, but
Sis not nearly as satisfactory as
; the old angle style of parking.
They claim that where five cars
once parked before, only three
can now find space. They also
claim 'that there was plenty of
room for moving traffic in the
street under the old system. It
was the double parking, com
pletely unrestricted, that caused
numerous traffic jams.
As far as this column is con
cerne\, it makes very little dif
ference one way or another which
method is used. The commis
sioners hold that angle parking,
unless streets are very wide, is
out of style, and goodness knows
Elkin must keep in style.
We might mention, barely
above a whisper, while speaking
of style, that those big round
dinkuses are also out of style,
but why bring that up?
We're not campaigning for
anything anymore, because look
ing back down the years our rec
ord is nothing to brag about. The
only successful campaign we can
include on our list is the new
fire truck, and who knows that
that might have been bought
years earlier if we hadn't popped
off so much about it. We also
campaigned for street markers
here, but although street markers
were installed, we consider that
campaign our biggest flop. For
with an eye out for economy,
cheap, inexpensive markers were
erected and then left to perish,
the victim of rust and lack of at
tention. Economy?
1 But we grow bitter. We must
brush back the scalding tears and
remember that Christmas is com
ing . . . that it is the season of
good will and peace on earth. We
must remember that ,in spite of its
traffic dinkuses, Elkin is a grand
town in which to live; a town
full of fine, friendly people. We
must be thankful that where
some have to exist under the
tyranny of a Hitler, we have
nothing worse than traffic dink
uses. Or is there anything worse?
