Well, I read in the Richfield tl' Reaper the following article from c5?"the Richfield Rat Race, written by sj that eminent authority on goop-j- N rs, the famous Norman Fullen- - bach. Mr. Fullenbach says: The rat race of the week was v( the smokey blow-of- f at the gas gas works when it looked like the main stem was going to loose 3 T piart of its stem. Course the great t(" assisting mob gobbled around itrjlike a bunch of turkeys and if af there had been a second good 'explosion out the front of the ; i sport shop some of the innocent j i would have got more ' holes in their heads than was necessary. The firemen, to add 2li savor to their work and protect ga life and limb, ought to give the it'Lgoop ' gang the wet end of a . four inch hose and stream them into the next block. ia) Who was the louse that latched jj onto the only piece of salvaged merchandise? Poo, with a. fire hose in one hand, handed a shot ' gun from the window to one of " the and no one but the unknown has seen it since. All this brings to mind that Hebe Curtis is mighty lucky that the fire in this main stem estab-lishment was overtaken by a broken main spring before it shot the works. How would Hebe have looked had he had a bunch of Richfield Coopers looking in the windows? Somebody might have passed out a new 1949 Ford like they did the shot gun and Hebe would have been out one Ford plus all the accessories, which are many on any 1949 car. Which proves that Delta is not the only town (pardon me, CITY) that is blessed with these hundreds of goopers whenever the siren sounds its enticing alarm. Here-to fore I thought Delta was the only place that had these hordes of goopers who hastened to the close proximity of the fire, just to warm their hands, of course, whenever one occurred. Mr. Fullen-,bac- h fails to go into the minor item of 896 people calling Central and demanding to know where the fire was, how were the roads to it, which is also another hazard. One might get oneself tangled with a switchboard and come out of the fracas looking like and Hawaiian covered with lei furnish-ed through the courtesy of Westing house wire and phone company. What they ought to do around these parts to raise money for the various drives is to have Rulon and his operators charge each call asking "where is the fire' to the phone of the askee charging them one buckeroo per call. Then when the drive started al lthe chairmen would have to do would be to ask Rulon for some wheelbarrows full of cartwheels. Lets take a specific case: Sup-os- e the Red Cross, USO, Cancer Drive, Infantile Paralyis Drive(The March of Dimes would be eliminat ed because they wouldn't handle less than a dollar and all other and similar drives pooled their quotas and just waited for a fire. Then after the smoke had cleared away Rulon and the various chair-men could check up on the results. The spokesman for the chairman would say, "Rulon we ask of you a check for $9,043 which is the quota asked by the national com-mittee of our West Millard area." And Rulon would reply, "Please, oh please, take all of it and apply it on 1950, 1951 and up to and in-cluding 1958. I don't want to write a check each year, and anyway we might as well celan out the ac-count, because with another fire it will be bigger than ever." And so we have the goopers who attend fires as kibitzers and such and the gooperettes who are too lazy to go for a fire but call Cent-ral asking where it is. When you add the two groups together you have a sizeable bunch of chuckle-head- s, that can not be equaled in Sevier county, notwithstanding our eminent Mr. Fullenbach, nor in any other county. It's Ike the guy who was res-cued out a cesspool after he had been shouting "Fire, Fire, Fire." Asked why he said fire, fire, fire, instead of a more explicit word for his dilemma. He replied, "Had I said that noughty word nobody would have paid any attention to me, but by hollering, Fire, I get everybody's attention. Em Moody, local seedman, bish-op.an- d loser of a cow, is going to take the statements of Glen Craw-ford a littel more seriously the next time Mr. Crawford, local sage and cowman makes and utterance. In fact Em realizes that the world goes to Bullova for time, but the world goes to Glen for just plain bullova, but there will be a time when Glen can be pinned down to the truth and last week Em had him pinned and then let him slip away. There was a time when Em had a cow, not long past, but the cow up and left for parts unknown leav ing Em wih an empty bucket, em-pty separator and an empty feeling Searching for the critter came to no avail and Em had given the boss up for lost, strayed or eaten, when Glen called him up and says, "Em, I saw those men that live at Cline milking your cow yesterday while I was out working." Now Em qu-ickly ran through the statement in his mind: He knew that the UP had streamlined the railroad to the extent that Cline was only a memoary, wo, nobody worked there three, he ' wasn't sure Glen had seen the cow, and four, he knew very well Glen was not working, not that day nor any day. Well, Em put a lot of logic behind the statement and figured that if Glen was wrong on 3 out of 4 counts, he could easily be wrong on the fourth, so Em just said, "Thanks Glen I'll go get her away from those men,". Glen hung up with a sly smile and Em just hung up. Those hUng up t00' as they se&away" ther 'them" attr'JE,m found out that the been there and Glen was right on one count which is far greater than Glen has been for some time. But to date the cow is still missing, the milk bucket is empty, the separator is empty and Em has that empty feeling". So Glen has gone Lincoln one better in his stand about fooling the people. Lincoln said that it cant be done - - to fool all the people all the time, and Glen fools them all the time only once and they don't believe him so he fools them again. Well, the Lions and the DHS fa-culty will play a game of donkey basketball this next Wednesday. It is one of those things where a bunch of grown men get on don-keys and then go riding around on their asses, playing basketball. If I was the guy that owned the donkeys I would be right worried about getting them out of the hall and loaded up ready to go to. the next town for a game. Because once the Lions get on their asses they sure hate to get off. Toots Mr. and Mrs. Eldon Lewis and "sons of Provo spent the weekend in this city at the home of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Willard s. |
