singing by quartet of young
ladies from the town, followed by
community singing with the words
being thrown on screen by af-
fable T. C. Mcknight, general
secretary of the YMCA. Then
there were prizes for the ladies
who held the lucky numbers, and,
finally a speaking program ar
ranged by c. N. Myers, who act
ed as master of ceremonies. After
the talks had all been made, the
floor was cleared, hill billy"
string orchestra was brought in
and from then on the group en-
Joyed square dancing until mid
night. Everyone seemed to have
a good time; there was no divid-
ing into small groups; demo-
cratic spirit of equality and
friendship pervaded the whole
gathering; and, old and young
took part in the exercises. 1t was
homegrown program enjoyed
by home people, and destined to
knit them closer together in au-
man understanding.
The same kind of thing happen
ed last fall when Elkin business
leaders held their cattle and wool
show. They invited the farmers
OF the surrounding section to take
part in the exercises and they
had all the All club members of
the adjacent counties as their
guests at an elaborate luncheon.
Inc show was success and so
was the luncheon, although Mr..
Mcknight said it did worry him
a bit when he learned that he had
to feed 1900 hungry people. He
did it well, however, and then fol-
lowed that up by feeding about
300 business men who gathered
the following evening to make
plans for another such event next
fall.
But that's the way they do
things in Elkin. Garland johnson.
alert young business and civic
leader, vice-president of the Bank
OF Elkln, and spark-plug of a far
mer-banker movement in the sec
ton, says he never calls upon his
neighbors to aid in any such
event without receiving the fullest
cooperation. He never denies
himself either, no matter how fire.
quent may be the calls nor how
heavy mis- own duties. If County
Agent Neill Smith wants to have
All club meeting over at Dob
son and needs some prizes, Gar
land will help to get them. If Neill
is to have an egg show and poul-
cry school at nearby Pilot Noun
tam and needs assistance, the FL
KIN folks are quick to back him.
But it's not only the Elkin peo-
pie who will nelp, the folks at
Mt. Airy, at Dobson, or at any
OF the other little towns nearby
are fully as cooperative. The idea
IS spreading all over the county.
The next big community event
IN Elkin will be held on March
The Wilmington morning star., 1945-02-26

IS when more than 500 farmers
will be the guests of the local
business group. Garland johnson
says that County Agents Smith
of Surry, Phillips Of Wilkes, and
Perkins OF Yadkin are all cooper
ating fully. The farmers will
meet first to hear a general dis.
cussion as to the farming outlook
for the year 1945 with particular
reference to livestock and live
stock products. Then the group
will break up into smaller units
to discuss such things as pas
lures, soil conservation, fe d
crops. dairy cattle, poultry and
the like. After about a two-hour
discussion period, the entire group
will again assemble for dinner
as guests of the local agricul-
tual council. This will be served
cafeteria style just as it was when
I was there the other evening
and, as usual, Mr. Mcknight will
have more than enough for all.
This simply proves again that,
given the right kind of unselfish
leadership. a community will re-
spond. Mr.. Johnson and his as
sociates have set out to make
Elkin a great little town by max
ing people around them as pro-
gressive and as well-to-do as cir
cumstances will permit. The Ell
kin people do not mind sacrifices
of their own comfort nor brief in
terruption of their own affairs
to take part in the larger affairs
of the community. That's one
reason why they get such a favor
able response from those upon
whom they call for assistance
That's why the farm people from
all around do not hesitate to at
tend the meetings nor to take a
part in the progressive ideas
which are offered. The Elkin COM
munity is growing in strength and
self-reliance. The town itself re-
fleets this spirit and the surround
ing rural section is quickly catch
ing the enthusiasm. The farms are
beginning to take on new look
of first class management and
intelligent handling Some of our
other communities might we'll
consider what is happening here.

BYRD SEEKS CUT
IN u. S. AGENCIES

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-(P)-
Senator Byrd D-Va) is laying
the groundwork for postwar
battle to cut the government down
to a peacehme size.
He proposes hearings on the
postwar essentially OF every
bureau and division as the man
framework of the drive.
Hauling out new batch OF
statistics showing the existence
of 1,141 departments, agencies
and divisions and other com
ponent parts" the economy-mlnd-
ed Virginian told a reporter to-
day:
"Just look at this list. Why, we
have % war agencies broken up
into 1854 divisions or component
parts"
Other figures upon which the
joint economy committee, OF
which he is chairman, will start
work soon lay on mis- desk.
They disclosed, among other
things, that the Federal civilian
payroll, including employees OF
the military departments here and
abroad, ran up to 3,270,291 last
December as compared with l.
100000 in September, 194l.
A chart shows all of the de-
partments of the Government, and
the offices, bureaus, divisions,
corporations, boards and services
functioning under them.
There's a ripe field here for
economy" Byrd declared.
Every agency we can do with
out, every employe whose work
is not necessary to carry on the
peacetime government, should be
eliminated.
1--WE want to lay the foundation
now in order to lose no time in
bringing about the elimination of
unnecessary agencies in record
time"

CHAFF|N OF AVIATION
BODY IS SPEAKER HERE

| Some of the preparations that
are being made by Montana COM
munities to meet and cooperate
with after-the-war air transporta-
ton of people and goods were dis
cussed here Tuesday at a meeting
of the Rotary club by Dean Chat
fin of Bozeman, president of the
Montana Aviation association.
Not a pilot but as an interested
Montanan who has watched and to
some extent fostered travel by air.
Chaffin told of the assistance be-
ing given by many communities who
have built landing fields. He ex-
hibited a large map of the state on
which a score or more fields were
shown. Some r mere landing
strips; several are more %pretentious
as need and means warrant. A
few are commercial. The one at
Billings, Chaffin said, is likely to
become important as a future hub
for radiating line.
Besides travel, the speaker pre-
dicted transportation of perishable
foods in future, linking distant pro-
duction centers with profitable
markets. Some such projects, he
indicated, are now in the making.
To those communities expecting
to build municipal airports of mod
est scale to put them on the map
of air travel, he recommended a
preliminary survey by the CAA.
Cost car be any amount, but should
be according to needs and available
funds. The speaker predicted that
communities without a suitable
stopping place for airplanes, either
visiting or resident, would find
themselves off the beaten routes.
He told of the port that had been
constructed in his home community.
The location is west of Bozeman
by nine miles, a little too far from
town to be fully convenient, but it
was started on the bare dirt a few
years ago and is now having a
good play of traffic. 1t has grown
to meet requirements.
The association which Chaffin
heads has adopted the policy of
forming chapters in the various
communities of Montana. He an
nounced that one had been organic
ed here with Clay Greening as a
prime mover. He said he expected
the chapter would increase in mem
bership and that those now work
ing in behalf of aviation could be
compared to the good roads clubs
of several years ago that did much
to lift the state out of the mud.
