Show Wingovers BV DICK MORRISON "All the news that's fit to print" from the Delta Airport. (Editor's Note) There won't be any regular Wingovers this week, because the nitwit who writes them has flew the coop. The following fol-lowing wire came, and we paid $17.95 to the telegraph company before wo knew what it said. S:,nce we paid so much to get it we might as well publish it for the record. re-cord. It follows: TO THE CHRONICLE BY SPECIAL WIRE, COLLECT Louisville, Kentucky Sunday, June 12. Dear Frank: I am in Louisville, Ky., as I write this, but by the time you receive it I will be somewhere else. I must keep moving. It was neccessary for me to leave Delta rather rapidly last Thursday. Nate Ward had just got his Chronicle and he was out to "get"' me. Ralph Christensen also wanted some of my hide because of a little lit-tle incident at the garage concerning concern-ing the improper use of an air hose which he magnified out of all proportion to its real signifigance; and not only that but something tells me that John Day wouldn't feel very bad if something terrible happened to me. When Nate took after me I ducked into the hangar and hid in the fuselage of an airplane, and while he was still looking for me Leo and Dr. Paul Adams got in it and took off. I didn't let my presence pre-sence be known until the second day out. You can imagine how Leo and Dr. Adams looked when I crawled out of the luggage compartment com-partment disheveled and hungry, just as they set down iere at Louisville. Lou-isville. Am mailing you a secret code, and when you think the above mentioned Delta boys have cooled off enough so Delta will again be safe for me, have it broadcast over ov-er KSL and I'll come home. Sorry I can't write you any Wingovers this week but I'll write double one after I get back. I know our kind neighbors won 't let my family starve even though I ran out on them. Just overheard Doc Adams say thing about that. I lengthened my own life by leaving Delta fast when trouble threatened. D. M.' to Leo, "That d fool, he can't walk back. Guess we're stuck with him", and Leo said, "I'd like to take him up ten thousand feet and throw' him out without a para chute, but I guess we had better pool our resources and buy him something to eat.'" So it looks like they will take care of me, and if you'll smooth things over at Delta and broadcast broad-cast the code message, I'll be back Terrible as is the situation which I am now in, it is better than stay ing at Delta with half the town gunning for me. When I get back I intend to swear off gossip, practical pract-ical jokes and politics and try to keep out of trouble. Yours in haste, Dick Morrison P.S. In the rush of leaving town I lost my hat, but I intend to borrow bor-row ten dollars from Doc Adams and buy a Kentucky derby. P.S. Again. They have lots of horses here and horsey talk gets to be a habit. When a man at the airport asked Leo where he was from, Leo said, " I'm by Amarillo, Texas, out of Delta, Utah." Last P.S. Doc Adams is attending attend-ing a doctors convention here. Trust me to be on the spot for such a news break. The doctors are planning how to lengthen human hu-man life. I could tell them some- |
