Show ?! Seftie and '. y INEZ And the last thing that the Horse heard was "mein Gott, I hope that the Chronicle doesn't hear about this." And the Horse told me. Now, even a Horse, knows that you can't stop there with a story. So I pass it on to you. JUST AS THE HORSE TOLD ME. - The graphic remark above was made by a local farmer of German descent and he was referring to his pheasant hunting experience. This local farmer (of German descent) is known far and wide for his remarkable marksmanship with a shot gun. It really comes to the fore during pheasant season. For years, he has been top man in his party in the .number of birds that he has been getting. Well, this year, definite steps were taken to reverse the situation. Instead jf a hunting party, it turned out to be a laughing party. . The Horse told me that this large party of Salt Lake hunters decided that the only way to stop this farmer (of German descent) was to change his shells somewhat, so they did. They undid them, emptied the shot out of them, put them together again oh, so carefully, care-fully, went to bed, got up early and waited for the fun to start. . Being of the frame of mind that he would need some liquid antifreeze anti-freeze (not much, just enough to keep his fingers warm) the local farmer (of German descent) took a little nip or maybe two. Sure enough, when the H hour arrives, he really is the first one out, the party stands back, lets him get the first shots and NOTHING HAPPENS. HAP-PENS. Not a thing. The Horse told me that this farmer far-mer (YOU KNOW THE ONE I MEAN) had practically raised these birds by hand so that he wouldn't be the one that had to go far a-field a-field to get his limit. There they stood (the birds) just waiting to be among his limit, and the farmer farm-er couldn't understand why he couldn't oblige them and the party was having a hilarious time. I understand that the birds would walk within ten feet of this farmer farm-er (just so there won't be any mistake, mis-take, I'm still referring to the farmer far-mer of German descent) and finally final-ly his son says, "Dad, I believe you need your glasses changed." Dad Utah 4-H Champs Win Chicago I rip Young 4-H Club members from Weber, Davis, Kane and Cache Counties will be among the delegates at the 1958 National 4-H Club Congress opening in Chicago on Nov. 30. They have won state honors in the 4-H Home Improvement, Entomology, Clothing, Soil and Water Conservation programs, and have been awarded all-expense trips to the Windy City. These programs are conducted by the Cooperative Extension Service and arranged by the National Committee on Boys and Girls Club Work. Nancy Nawey Lindsay Workman A real do-it-yourself advocate In home furnishings and improvement improve-ment is Nancy Newey, 18, of Huntsville, state winner in the 4-H Home Improvement program. pro-gram. She will receive an all-expense all-expense trip from Sears-Roebuck Foundation. During the nine years in the 4-H, Miss Newey made a hundred articles, and took part in scores of different activities. She started sewing such things as lunch and dinner sets, dresser scarves, cafe curtains, "needle point chair seats and a quilt. She painted and re-flnished re-flnished a rocker, an antique chair, chest, desk, and the big dining table. She also upholstered uphol-stered a couple of chairs. Miss Newey has been a leader for two other 4-H Clubs. Her numerous nu-merous demonstrations and exhibits ex-hibits resulted in 44 local blue ribbons and 70 top Weber County honors. Knows His Bugs There's more to an insect than meets the eye, according to young entomologist Lindsay Workman, 15, of Clearfield. He can explain all about harmful and beneficial insects, and advise how to control the bad ones. As the state winner in the 4-H Entomology Entomol-ogy program he will be awarded a Congress trip by the Hercules Powder Co. Young Workman, a 4-H'er In Sunset community since 1954, aas collected 176 Insects during the past year. His enthusiasm was apparently contagious, for his family and neighbors all joined in adding specimens to his collection. A family picnic usually usu-ally turned into an insect-hunting field trip. Workman has given many demonstrations dem-onstrations on "How to Catch Insects at Night." the "Use of Poison on Termites." A demonstration demon-stration on "How to Mount a Butterfly" won for him a trip to the Utah State Fair. A sophomore at Davis High School, Workman is president of the Rainbow Garden 4-H Club. . Atonlenie RIDING' replied, "No, guess that anti-freeze is a little more powerful than I thought." So there stands another pheasant, his eyes just begging to be shot, so the farmer bangs away. Nothing happens, so his son remarked re-marked again about his glasses. This time the farmer was really disgusted with the sad state of affairs, af-fairs, turned on his heel, marched into house and got dressed! Not until much later did he learn exactly what had gone on, and the Horse says that he is a mighty dejected de-jected man with his tail feathers clipped in such a manner! Now, this farmer (still the same one) has a mighty good friend in town that is among the oldest practicing pharmacists in the state of Utah. This pharmacist (I'm sorry, sor-ry, I don't know his descent) trying try-ing to make his good friend feel better, mailed him a package or two of BB shot with a little note enclosed saying, "Dear Friend, better bet-ter try these next year, it takes two to kill a bird with BB shot, one to hold the bird and the other to hold the barrel against the head and pull the trigger. I'll be glad to be the other one, and I really think that you would be wise to seriously seri-ously consider this offer as, evidently, evi-dently, you do NEED help. Things are coming' to a sorry state when a man of your intelligence can't tell when your shells have been tampered with. Your friend, in deed. Your friend, in need." As soon as the Horse tells me any more about this affair, I'll be delighted (and I do mean delighted) delight-ed) to pass it on to you. This Horse that passes all this information on to me is one of a gang. I understand that they get together, talk over all the stories that they have heard, take a vote on the ones that they prefer to have printed in the-greatest -you-know-what and then he tells mo. I REALLY MEAN IT WHEN I SAY "THIS IS STRAIGHT FROM THE HORSES MOUTH!" Believe me. At the same conclave ,one horse turned up a very interesting letter let-ter and they ruled on it and the Horse passed it on to me and I pass it on to you. Fred Hauman seems to be the author of this epistle and he is writing to his son, it goes some Jacquita Watson Richard Yon It Clothes Make the Girl Jacquita Watson, 18, of Kanab, merits the state 4-H award in Clothing for her dress design talent and sewing ability. Her trip award is provided by Coats and Clark. After nine years of 4-H work, this energetic young lady has progressed from making towels and pot holders to formats and tailored suits. She has made 63 different articles of clothing in three years for which she has received re-ceived a total of 39 Kane County and state blue ribbons. She also rated honors for demonstrations and judging. Miss Watson organized a group of younger 4-H members, called the "Peppy Pals", and saw them through the rudiments of simple sewing skills to exhibits and demonstrations. dem-onstrations. Wayne Ross, Kane County agent, said, "She is easily the outstanding 4-H girl in the County. Her ability to do things is matched only by her willingness willing-ness to help." She was chosen Utah's top teen-ager for 1958. Conservation Advocate A better tomorrow would dawn for farmers and the nation it more people took as much interest inter-est in conserving soil and water resources as does Richard Yonk, 18, of Mendon. He has successfully success-fully completed work in the 4-H Soil and Water Conservation program. pro-gram. Yonk has operated a 160-acre farm for the past three summers. With his father's supervision, he has handled the plowing, harrowing har-rowing and sowing of crops. This practical experience has taught him the importance of contour plowing, harrowing and drilling as well as of summer fallow and alfalfa planting. This young 4-H'er. who comes from a family of six 4-H members mem-bers and leaders, has been active in club work for eight years. In recognition of his accomplishments, accomp-lishments, the Firestone Tire & Rubber Company will provide the Congress trip. ii ,1 , . i ..vw.-.' -' 1 ''V.v.:,w.ii lw.wmxWw'''TO1)( Is 1 f - & 1 li -hi I - " !

Dear Son, I do wish that you had been here to go pheasant hunting with me, I've never had so much fun. Of course, there is much walking to do to get one bird and my legs about gave out after the first forty miles, but I got one pheasant and I really had fun. Sunday morning, I got up and got going. While poor Mom sleeps, I have all the fun. I stayed out until un-til about ten, came in with one cottontail, had a breakfast, walked walk-ed another forty miles. My legs can stand about anything as long as it is for fun. Didn't get a bird that day. Yesterday morning I sneaked out again while Mom slept in and had another three hours of fun. Came home with two cottontails and one pheasant. Got two more days of this fun and I hope I can get my limit at least one of those days. So far, I haven't seen a goose or a duck. I guess It is -too dry. When the first snow falls and the geese start this way, I suppose I'll be among the many laying out in the snow about daylight, having some more fun! It really is quite a bit of fun to get up early, skip breakfast, break-fast, try to bundle up in the right amount of clothes, you know, enough to keep warm at daylight but not so many that you smother when the sun comes up. I set the alarm for three-thirty last night, but for some reason, I didn't hear it and it was more nearly 7:30 when I dragged (I mean got out) of bed. Mom insisted in-sisted that I eat first today, so while I was having my last cup of coffee, I decided to write to you. So you know what happened, while I was writing? I happened to look out of the window, and there sat a nice big rooster right by the back fence. In all my excitement, I jumped up and grabbed old faithful, faith-ful, threw In a shell and I guess he heard me coming, for as I peeped peep-ed around the corner of the house, he ran for the ditch and got in before be-fore I could get in one shot. I followed fol-lowed to the ditch, no pheasant, irom eve ' ' AI1IIA1IAM Mii. AFTON FULLMER Three days of thick fog, real bad for the Asthma and not so good for disposition. I remember in that first flu epedemic in 1918. We had just such weather hope the sun comes shining thru soon.. Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Peterson visited with Henry Hoff while they were in California recently. He is well and sends best regards to his friends here. Floyd Tolbert went of Salt Lake for a check up last week and the doctor said he was doing fine after his very serious heart attack and is allowed to drive his car a little. Floyd and Heldred and Cleone went up with him. Lavoy Tolbert and wife are at his parents home this weekend an1 attended Sunday School. finally I found him tangled in the weeds right at my feet. I stood there and waited for him to clear himself, which he did and flew south of the house. Of coutse, I had to let him get by the house and then I was going to let him have it. Of course, the safety was on and he just flew safely on. Now how about that? So goes it In this hunting sport, nothing comes easy. I do hope that you will be able to join me next season. Your Dad. Well, now how about that? Indeed. In-deed. The reasonable thing for the "Farmer" and Fred to do is to get together for next season! The farmer could go ahead and hand raise some birds and invite Fred to do the actual killing. At least Fred got two or three birds. Which should prove something, I suppose, don't you? (And probably the thing that they will get together and do is SKIN ME ALIVE!!). The Horse started telling me a-bout a-bout Betty Kelly, drapes, airplane, high winds, and the phone rang. It was Bob saying, "Say, have you got 'Sense and Nonsense' ready?" At Kennecott, employees who have avoided injuries by wearing hard hats are members of an international organization called The Turtle Club. Employees who have been saved lniunes dv wearing protective eye devices are members oi a national organization cauea i ne Wise Owl Club. The Kennecott members of these clubs are typical of all employees who have cooperated wholeheartedly in the development of a successful safety program. By wearing personal protective equipment they have helped make a Kennecott employee three times safer on the job than the average person is at home. In addition to hard hats and safety eyeglasses, a wide variety of protective equipment is available to Kennecott employees. This includes gloves, masks, safety shoes, special clothing, respirators and safety belts.. All are an essential part of the comprehensive progra'm that in 1957 won for Kennecott employees the National Safety Council's highest award The Award of Honor, and 31 additional safety awards from the U.S. Bureau of Mines. Making every job the safest possible job is the continuing goal of Kennecott's safety program. Jjmocoit Copper Corporation We? feel our Relief Society Buzaar was a real success and we wish to thank Sugarville, Sutherland and the other towns for their patronage. We made about $100.00. Good don't you think. Mr. and Mrs. Karl Murray have returned from a week in Los Angeles An-geles visiting daughter, Marilyn and family. Since returning they have received word that Marilyn is ill. Hope she is well by now. Carl a Deem and Vei l Tolbert gave the two and one half minute talks in Sunday School and by the way we had a very good attendance. Have you noticed the new birds around the last year or two. Big like a black bird with grey specks and quite long bill. I don't know H you can identify them by that description, de-scription, but I'd sure like to know what they are. They are real tame. I get a lot of pleasure watching birds. I used to keep parakeets but felt bad when they got away or died, so I decided to have the birds outside. Elders Robert Callister and Craig Mortensen brought the program for Sacrament meeting. Both gave interesting in-teresting talks and a quartet, consisting con-sisting of Craig Mortensen, Lynden Callister, Darla Ann Terry, and Karen Pearsen with Marjorie Wright as accompanist, sang two numbers, "America the Beautiful" and "The Spirit of God Like a Fire la Burning."
