Show Chatter Box Dear Suzy, Hatch Farnworth, local hot cake and crab salad dealer, is gradually gradual-ly catching oa to how to operate a cafe. I don't know what he did i before he came here, but suspicion he must have been a hod-carrier from the way he handles orders. Just the other day Hatch was coming com-ing out of the kitchen with a sandwich sand-wich in each hand, balancing them nicely until he reverted to the call of his old profession and started carrying them by the edge of the plate and in an angle vertical to ihe floor. Of course, the sandwiches sandwich-es did not stay put on the plate, and should Hatch attempt this a-gain a-gain he should take up lessons ( on being a whirling Dervish so that the centrifugal force would keep the sandwiches cn the plates. Anyway the sandwiches were soon gracing the floor while Hatch '-ent on to the customer bearing the empty plates proudly, which lie sal oeiore an astonished would- I be-eater. The person eating knew that things were tough along food lines, but he did not think that it had come to the point wherein a cafe served nothing but an empty emp-ty plate. Dee King was hanging out the window of the kitchen watching this performance and was goggle eyed when he saw the sandwiches cascade to the floor, but with rare forethought hurried over and made another pair of sandwiches so that Hatch could pick them up from the kitchen instead of the floor for the worried customer. Hatch played play-ed it safe the second time though, and had oneof the girls carry out the order, as he didn't want to be wading knee-deep in sandwiches before the day was over. Two days later Hatch was able to successfully carry an order out to a customer, so you can see for yourself he is improving; and it won't be long before he will be able to carry three plates, and that is as high as he hopes to go in becoming an accomplished waiter. Politicitis is beginning to percolate perco-late in these parts what with local meetings and county conventions coming along right on the heels of each other. It also imbued George Cahoon to make a political speech in the Hoolywood Bowl. He and Winn Walker were down there on some kind of a trip and some friends fri-ends took them out to the Hollywood Holly-wood Bowl to see where Glen Taylor Tay-lor running mate of Wallace, was refused the privilege of talking. George proceeded to go Taylor one better and got up on the rostrum ros-trum and spoke to some great length on the Republican party, candidates, and its virtues. Of Course, his audience was Winn Walker and the two friends, which hardly filled the Bowl to capacity. Now Winn learned to vote before he learned to write, and he has a decided penchant for putting little "x'es" under the rooster on the Democratic ticket. In fact his father fath-er told him as a youth that one x was enough for any party, but be sure that he always put it under und-er the Democratic banner, from that you can see that George's speech fell on almost deaf ears. The two friends they had with them were named "Petty" and in these parts, and I suppose other parts as well, the name Petty has always been synonomous with the party riding the donkey. Which while we are on the name Petty we may as well list the following fol-lowing under Politics or else call it a "rift in a happy home life." At least the latter is more apropos than the former as it was a happy family until politics reared its nasty nas-ty head. In one corner we have Mayor Golden H. Black, a Republican Republi-can stemming from a long line of Republicans, and in the other corner cor-ner we have Ethel P. Baker, his mother-in-law. Now we come to the county convention the Democrats Demo-crats held in Fillmore last Saturday Satur-day and what do we find? We find Ethel P. Baker being elected vice-chairman vice-chairman of the Millard County Democratic party much to the horror hor-ror of her son-in-law, Golden. But then, her being elected to that office of-fice is not hard to understand as the "P" in her name stands for Petty. It would have been an interesting interest-ing race to watch had Golden been elected county chairman of the Republican Re-publican party on the following Monday but he wasn't, so their conflict in politics will be held under un-der cover this coming campaign which will probably be the best after all. It seems to me that all politics breeds is dissension In families, friends fri-ends and neighbors, and 'political jobs for the winning side. Allen Tolbert is lucky that he is a forgetful person. The other day he came down town and cussed his luck after getting here that he had forgotten something at home. So back he went to get what he had forgotten and on arriving found several dogs playing catch and kill with his young chickens. They had cut quite a swath through them and had about 50 very much dead. About 100 others were injured, but he saved them by putting them under un-der the brooders again and keeping them warm. He says that sometimes some-times it is lucky to forget, and like in the case of Bob Wallace it pays big dividends as he makes so many trips back and forth on the customer's time getting his electrical elec-trical tools. Keep your fingers crossed it looks like Spring might be here. Toots. Mrs. Glen Nielson and Miss Marie Sorenson, of Logan, visited in Oak City. Mr. and Mrs. LeRoy Walker and Mr. and Mrs. Don Walker, from Clearfield, visited Oak City last week. Salt Lake visitors were Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Christensen. The Aaronic Priesthood boys and the L. D.
