Lekan, 2611 Delaware Strep Wickliffe, Ohio. m LETTER a . . Dear Mr. Beckwith, I'm sending my 3.50 to renew my subscription to the Chronicle. We have changed addresses and maybe this time it will be permanent, as we have bought us a home. If anyone from Delta is ever hart this wav. we would love to have them come and visit us. We are located about 15 miles out of Cleveland. We sure do enjoy reading the Chronicle. When I read in the paper about Mr. and Mrs. Chris Gronning and Mr. and Mrs. James Kennelly being back here, I was sure dis-appointed that we didn't get to Chatter Box Dear Suzy, In one of my idle moments I remarked that the Indians had come back to take over this coun-try and by the two following in-cidents you can see that they really have. The other night Donna and Earl Sagers came home from the show. Earl sat down in an easy chair to read a paper, and Donna retired to the powder room. While Earl was reading somebody walked through the front room, but he didn't look up as people seem to have a habit of walking through their front room. in heft; lie is also glad that the base was loaded with excelsior and ' not rocks. These games were started out for the girls to have a little fun and amusement, not to catch some poor unsuspecting male manager and beat him over the head with part of the playing field. Maybe the summer recreation committee had better get less exciting sport for the girls such as tiddley winks and playing statue. Don is off on his vacation now recuperating from the blow and on his return hopes that he has been replaced with a manager to take his beatings in his stead. And now the office has a letter from the "Friend of the Desert" that I will quote: Millard County Chronicle, Delta, Utah. Dear Mr. Beckwith, At the top of your paper one reads "Millard County Chronicle," yet although it is definitely a part of Millard county (it does, in fact link the east and the west)' one very seldom reads anything, con-cerning McCornick. As a resident of the territory in question, I protest. Short of hav-ing a civil war or perhaps a nice juicy murder it looks as though we are the forgotten people. Much as I should dislike being called a braggart, I should like to call your attention that we as a people are peculiarly interesting. Donna was busy reading a maga-zine when a shadow fell over the page and she looked up into the dark eyes of an Indian squaw. Aft-er some conversation as to what the squaw wanted it was settled that the Indian did not come to the powder room for the usual errand but merely wanted companionship and somebody to pour her heart out to. Donna says it takes a strong constitution to carry on when one finds an Indian in one's powder room, but it teaches one a valu-able lesson. Namely, that one must close and bolt the door when one retires to a powder room. vv tr live witll anaivca, uaiua, aanu and bugs, the like of which people of a more civilized world never see. We work in the hot sun with-out benefit of the shade of trees to cool our burning brows. Most of us eat cold lunches and furnish our own moral support, because our wives (who said they're weak) refuse to leave the city. But do we give up? Our dreams of splendid crops, of big farm hous es and roses blooming? Never! In-stead we take comfort in the cool-ing breezes that relieve the heat at the close of each day and in the sight of fat cattle coming in to water from the ranges, above the canal. We thinks, "Our children will be raised as free as the wind and with a great knowledge of nature and God." We perhaps, even look forward to the day when we can tell our grandchildren of the days when to see an eagle with a six-fo-wing spread was an everyday af-fair, and when the rabbits came like thieves in the night to steal the profits of the struggling farmer. So you see, Sir, perhaps after all there may be a story in the desret. Sincerely, "A Friend of the Desert." Well, Friend of the Desert the Boss wants me to tell you to quit your beefing. Let well enough a- - The other was a case of mis-taken identity. Or rather one in which an error of half a block fi-gured quite prominently. The other day Rae Huff was summoned to the front door by a noise of tramp-ing feet. At about the same time she reached the front .door it open-ed and a large man came walking in with a small Indian boy in tow. Rae said, "Bud go wash your face, you don't know how you look." She was also mentally counting up when she could have a heart to heart talk with Bud about the rea-son for a small Indian boy to be following him. The man went on past Rae and then she saw the knot of hair on the back of his head. She knew then that Bud hadn't as yet taken up wearing his hair that way, and there was a strong resemblance of the man to one of the local Navajos. Rae was quite speechless as she foll-owed the two about the house as the man carefully inspected each room as though seeking something he had lost. The small boy was tugging at his coattails to try and get his attention and was jabbering to him in Indian language. Finally, much to Rae's peace of mind and tranquility, the two went to the front door where they both made a leisurely and dignified exit. Rae hurried to the phone, not too sure about Bud, and wanted to know if Bud was at the store or playing tricks on her. And what about the Indian boy? Well, it all came to a solution a little later. The large Indian had recently be-come a grandfather and was look-ing for the hospital to see his new relative. thing you know you will have a chamber of commerce, a drive for funds to build a plant to heat your cooling breeezs, as some of the new people won't like them that cool. Your children will have to start wearing shoes, men will have to put on ties, women will struggle into their girdles, and your free and easy life will be civilized but very dull. Your statement that the wives would not live there may seem bad to you but there are thou-sands of men to whom this condi-tion would be He'aven, Toots. P. S. But after this word of warn-ing you still want to put McCorn-ick in its rightful place in the world of affairs, then each evening as you loll in the cool breeze, take a pen in hand and send in what words of wisdom you may wish the world to know, and the Boss says the Chronicle will see that the world does hear of McCornick. . lone and enjoy your cooung breeze and your view of fat cattle. If you lived in a city you wouldn't get a view of a fat cattle less than $1.00 a pound. Your snakes, lizards and the likes would be hastily devoured by "civilized" people who can not afford the price of a hamburger. Now, he says, suppose McCorn-ick does get on the map. People will start crowding in between you and the cooling breezes; You will have a gas station for each man, woman and child in your commun-ity. Bill board signs will cover up your view of your precious fat cattle. Beer cans will be strung about the ground for the lizards and bugs to play in. Then the next When he did find the hospital he was so overcome with joy at the new child that on the following Sunday 40 buck Indians were lead through the hospital by the doting grandfather so that they could also see the new namesake. Doc Bird is trying to find some one to paint a large sign that will have "hospital" written in large letters in both American and Nav-ajo, so that this will not happen again to Rae or any of the other residents in that area. Rae will 'buy the sign and have it erected as soon as Doc finds the interpre-ter. There should be a law that when a person leaves one commuity, goes to another and then runs a restaraunt he should notify all his old friends often , and with many mediums of advertising as to his new location, business, name, and where to be found at late hours. Take the case of John Koiter. He went to Vernal and now has a ho-tel, motel and a cafe there. It is known at the Commercial Hotel, Motel, and cafe attached. John has kept all this more or less secret from his old friends at Delta, so when the Beckwiths and the Crafts went to Vernal the other day for the press convention they stopped in Vernal to eat. Try as they could they could not remember the name of John's place. So they picked out the poorest cafe between Denver and Carson City, Nevada, in which to eat. Imagine their embarrassment as they came out of the joint when they practically knocked poor John down in the middle of the street while they hurriedly tried to hide their toothpicks, burps and their need of of soda. John was not to be fooled with any of this hanky-pank- and told them so. He was much hurt by their action and the fact that they had not spent a minute or two looking up his place. John does have a nice place their, also some nice petunias and gladioli, but he ought to do a little advertising of it in the Mill-ard County Chroncile, and not try to hide his light under a bushel. Well, the party broke up amica-bly and the Crafts and Beckwiths promised to droy in on their re-turn trip. This they did on Sunday morning only to be met by John in front of his establishment tell-ing them that the place was al-ways closed on Sundays. Maybe he only closed that one Sunday as he was afraid that the returning party may have lost their rolls in some crap game and wanted to put the bill on the cuff. Anyway he got even with them for scorn-ing his place the first time. Don Evans, local creamery man and manager of a girl's Softball team, is looking about for less strenuous sports and weaker wo-men. He was at the Softball game the other afternoon when the girls became a little excited (at least that is their version of it) and he was slugged over the head with third base by one of the Amazons playing. Don is glad that it was third base and not home plate, as home plate is generally solid. (I was about to say Don was solid, too, but that might make him mad).
