Show jChatter Box Dear Suzy, Hair cutting has become the favorite indoor sport in these parts of late. It all oame about when one Gene Owens, Chuck Edwards, and Cope Skeem decided that a very close cut head was the thing to display, and so went and had Keith Ross clip it right close to the scalp. They had just finished and were admiring themselves in the mirror when a chorus of snickers came from those in the pool hall who were leaning on cuesticks, and participating in a little innocent fun and amusement, clicking balls together. The snickers were not in the liking of the clipped trio and to put and eid to it, first one Cupey Edwards was snatched by the clippees and great gobs of hair was haggled out by use of scissors and teeth. This did not stop the banter from those in the background and one Grant Hardy, was talking when he should have been listening or farming, and so he was hailed into the. haircutting bee, and with such force that his head happened to come in contact with the floor, and mighty was the lump that came up. In fact, he looked two-headed until the scissors leveled off the hair on the one bump and it was seen that the other bump was attached to the clipped bump. We now have five with their heads trimmed up, but it did not end there. We now shift to the county office where we find Grant and Cupe in a huddle with Sheriff Jack Bennett, of the local Moun-ties, Moun-ties, and they are signing a complaint com-plaint in blank, chareintr the frin with assault with deadly weapons, arson, mayhem and disturbing the peace in. general. . Things became a little rugged from there on out when the complaint com-plaint was flashed on the clippers of heads, but for some strange reason cooler heads prevailed, it was easy to keep a cool head with no covering, and the group retired re-tired to the Gem Beanery for pie alamode and coffee. Grant and Cupe, the "victims", ordered steaks and figured on getting get-ting by with that, but payment was withheld on that large ia deal and after leaving the place about their business, we find them sheep ishly returning to settle their bills there. Came Saturday, and because it was his birthday, David Hofhines decided on a haircut and went in to get one. He had just had one half of his head clipped nicely and trimmed up when urgent business bus-iness called him from the shop and when he returned it was closed. clo-sed. Came Sunday moring and he got Keith out of bed for the finishing fin-ishing touches and lo and behold he was called away again. It is not known whether he is wearing his hair long on one side still, and short on the other, hut it is hoped that when he settles in the chair again, conditions are settled enough so that he can get the job completed. The fire laddies whipped off to Hinckley the other day to douse a fire in the Heber Bishop home there. It must have been quite a blaze and quite disastrous, at least to Curley Swensen, mayor of that city, beoause he was the only sufferer. suf-ferer. It seems that he got his eyebrows singed off, and lost his hat in the inferno. As far as I can find out that was the extent of the damage. It looks like spring now so he doesn't really need a hat.
