Show Seen and Heard 'Round the Town By EDGAR A Misnomer Incidentally, Max and Clair Hafen are not brothers! ! ! I hope that Max and Clair didn't get kidded about that little statement that ended the fire story in last week's Seen and Heard, as much as I have. W. O. Bentley gave me a nice explanation when he said he took it for granted I meant, "brothers in religious faith and not blood brothers". Orval Hafen took care of the matter very nicely in Rotary so that I have "paid" for the mistaken identification, identifi-cation, and I assure the Hafens that it won't happen again. Speaking of Sheep Speaking of sheep, and Joe Atkin did Friday in Rotary, when 1A he proved that he knew his sheep ! from original history down to fi ll nancial facts. Did you know that i there are 53 million of 'em in I; the U. S., but that Australia could produce all the wool needed i in the world if given a free hand ? ... If you didn't eat at least 7 pounds of lamb of mutton last 5 year, you don't eat your per cap- '! ita share of U. S. lamb or mut- 5 ton. ... It takes 30 sheep to ! provide enough wool for the 5 clothes for one of Uncle Sam's 1 1 soldiers. Oh yes, there is around 1 1 a 62 per cent shrinkage in the 5 wool as it comes off the backs of sheep and the final wool that ', goes into clothing. . '. . While S Texas leads the nation, followed 5 by California and Montana, in the J production of sheep, Utah is rec- 5 ognized as the sheep center of J the nation with the national org- i anization having its headquarters in Salt Lake City and publishing 2 its magazine there. Joe reported 5 that there are around 3 million sheep in Utah and that while 5 many an interesting story has been written around cattlemen 5 and sheepmen fighting it out in true western style, that it is ? mostly the figment of western fiction writers' imaginations, par- ? ticularly, so far as Utah is con- cerned. Joe admitted though, that 2 when his family changed from 5 cattle to sheep, he was a bit J 'eery about coming into town, for fear someone might heave a rock at him. New Services In these days when service is king curtailed it is refreshing to have new services made available. avail-able. Recently the News has carried announcement ads for - K. Rubber Welders and Gates' We Shop, also Orahood's, "The F-It Man". Harold Hafen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur K. Hafen, is operating the O. K. Rubber 2 welders, while E. C. Gates is operating the Gates Tire Shop. 7 Both these men invited the in- sPection and trial of the people f this section. Frank Orahood 7 nas been here before but didn't have a down-town shop previ- 7 JUsly. if you are needing any- nS fixed (and who doesn't ""IK , days)' Frank savs he will take care of the job for you. |
