Show Millard County Chronicle Thursday; August 25, 1960 eu ?2 cman s I T ) Setde and . . . (rJ j ... JVottdettde I I 'J By INEZ RIDING ) Oftentimes, I run across some- thing that I have written lown on a piece of paper, tucked away for future references and promptly forgot! At times, I wonder what I meant by the notes and sometimes some-times it gets tossed into the waste basket. Sunday I ran across this charming bit and it definitely falls into the first category. "It is a good thing that everyone knows that I tell the truth in this column. My ol' buddy, buddy, Winn Walker, just told me that if I had falsely accused Thorpe Wadding-ham Wadding-ham and Jack Reid of making me sick with their cooking that they would sue me. Furthermore, he told me that Thorpe had spent much mid-night., oil., searching., through ALL of his lawbooks looking for a ruling of some kind or another. He told me that Thorpe had gotten so tired that he couldn't turn the pages, let alone hold his eyes open. .Winn went on to say (and I quote) that Jack was standing' right by Thorpe's right side turning the pages, wiping his brow and even holding his eyes open for him. (A true case of brotherly love.) Like I said, it is a good thing that I tell the truth and ONLY the truth." (Sometimes, I wonder a-bout a-bout Winn. Do you think that HE is as truthful as I am? Well, we will wait until another year for Days of the Old West, that remarkably good rodeo. Evidently, I've become a rodeo fan without realizing it. I especially like the bronc riding bit be it with or without with-out a saddle. Wouldn't It be fun to own such a horse as Purple People Peo-ple Eater?? Queen Diane Turner and her attendants at-tendants are all such good riders and such cute little gals. They added ad-ded so much to the whole show. Another bit that added to the show was Ruth Talbot at the organ. I liked that. Wonder how many pounds of hamburger the Delta Jaycees sold? Wonder how many snow cones they sold? Wonder how many bottles of pop and beer were consumed? The parade Saturday afternoon was delightful and I like the idea of its going past the grandstand. It will take a little time to get used to the idea of the change and it needed to go a little farther down the track but that can be ironed out next year, I would imagine that mine is one of several sewing machines: that have been going like mad for several sev-eral days now in preparation for the school year. Can't decide whether I am ready for school to begin or not. I do know this, never have I had so much trouble with my sewing sew-ing as this year. Out of the first three dresses I made, two of them were cut too short-waistedl What can be more maddening than to goof like that?? It's time to think about weeds going to seed, tomatoes to be put into jars, how to say "No" more emphatically when asked to be a 4-H leader next spring, winter coats, football games, new fall lawns, fall housecleaning and so many more things. (As any housewife house-wife can, and will, tell you, if you but ask.) A short list of good-looking things late summer flowers, new jam and young Jim Nickle. A short list of shiny things: New shoes, car newly washed and Jean-nie Jean-nie Draper's hair. A book was sent to us at the Chronicle Monday. It is "Grandpa Was A Polygamist" by Paul Bailey who was born in American Fork. I think that it will turn out to be as entertaining as Dr. Peck's two books that I have read "AH About Men" and "What's next Dr. Peck?" , An introduction of the book THESE WOMEN! "We're in a rut, bos. When I'm late, you're early . . . When I'm early, you're EARLIER H, " e - reads "The author was born and grew up in a little Mormon com munity in Utah. His life and experi- ences form the basis of the book. While It is deeply concerned with Grandpa and his two polygamous households, it is not essentially a biography of Grandpa. Rather it is a mirror held up to a community, a family pattern, and a way of life that forever seems odd and unconventional un-conventional to the uninitiated. With humor, wisdom and deep understanding, Paul Bailey takes the reader on a fascinating tour of one Mormon hamlet and one Mormon Mor-mon family. The kindliness, the rugged endurance and the unshakable unshak-able convictions of the Mormons have never been more skillfully depicted. Rarely has anyone ever succeeded in taking the "gentile" reader behind the scene to make the Mormon "way of life" comprehensible comp-rehensible in any degree to those who do not and cannot accept their convictions. This book does far more than that. From the first chapter the reader actually lives in the family of the author. From the standpoint of history it is invaluable as an authentic study of Mormon town life, folklore, folk-lore, religious customs and family pattern. More remarkable, every word in this book is true, and yet it reads with the velocity and excitement ex-citement of a novel." Monday, after I had cooked 3 meals, made a jumper dress and one blouse for Kris, ran three loads through the washer, vaccumed the house after the windstorm, and pressed skirts and sweaters until ten p.m., I was pretty doggoned tired. So I took a shower and shampooed and set my hair and opened this book "Grandpa was a Polygamist." The first chapter is as far as I got before dropping off to sleep. Now that sounds mighty controdictory, doesn't it? In one breath I tell you that it is entertaining enter-taining and in the next I say I dropped off to sleep right after the first chapter. But, I really was too tired to read and I only opened it to sorta thumb through first. Mr. Bailey opens with a remembrance of his eighth year and undoubtedly, his was one of the most delightful eighth years that I've ever read aboutl AnywaY, after I have fin- ished reading the whole book. 111 just have to say more about it, that's alL Several weeks ago, Dick Morrison Mor-rison wrote me a nice long letter in the Chronicle and he called me an extreme right-wing Republican. When I saw him later at the City office, I thanked him for the nice letter and he apologized for calling me an extreme right-wing Republican! Repub-lican! Goodness, Dick, I'm glad someone found a place for me me with my rambling ways of explaining ex-plaining my views! No apologizing needed! Sometime 111 write you a letter on why I think you are wrong, though. I still think I'm a Democrat. Demo-crat. At least. I like Kennedy. Now what does that make me?
