Show (Chatter Box Dear Suzy, Medical treatments highlight the events this week and first on the list we find Garry Hardy getting a tooth snapped out up Spanish Fork way. It seems that Garry had a badly bad-ly infected tooth which he was more than willing to part with, so his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Hardy, took him up to the dentist there. It was found that the tooth was so bad that it couldn't be frozen in the normal fashion, so he was given a shoot of sodium amytal, which laid him out stif-fer stif-fer than a crutch. While Garry was out the dentist den-tist had plenty of time to yank the tooth, in fact Garry was out so long that the dentist could have made him a new denture in case Garry needed one. But after a time Garry finally started to rally and come out of his coma. At this point the dentist gave him a shot of penicillin and the place he gave it to him is the favorite spot Garry uses when he sits down Garry was still groggy enough to acuse the dentist o'fi using a pitchfork pitch-fork for the operation, and in pointed poin-ted words told the dentist he had, much to the discomforture of Mrs. Hardy, as Garry's use of language was not of the parlor room type. Garry also revealed some things that would have been far better kept secret, because he asked for "just one more glass of beer," and offered tn hnv hnth his mother . i least the open sky above him. Toots. and father one if they would only accompany him to a place where it could be obtained. Getting Garry to the street and along it to the car, which was parked par-ked 'some distance away, was a most embarrassing circumstance for the parents, because Garry acted ac-ted as though he was carrying a load and not a load that was of barticular burden to him. In fact, he was extremely happy, speaking speak-ing to all along the way, and offering to buy beer for any who would follow him. Soon a large crowd was accompanying the three as Mr. and Mrs. Hardy supported Garry between them like a limp dishrag trying to pass it off a joke. The procession soon attracted attract-ed the law and Mrs. Hardy had a lot of explaining to do to keep Garry out of the clink, but he was deposited in the family car and soon went to sleep, muttering he was off the stuff for life and never nev-er again would he disgrace the Hinckley basketball team by drink ing anything stronger than milk. The other casualty this week and having to hurry off to Salt Lake for treatment was Inga Black Deseret matron. It seems that Mrs. Black was getting dressed up in her finery the other day and in zipping up her brassiere, which had a zipper in the back, she inadvertently in-advertently got her 'finger caught in the zipper and no end of struggling strug-gling to free herself resulted in no thing but a firmer grip on her finger fin-ger by the zipper. As she paced; the floor with one hand stuck fast behind her back, she came to the conclusion that she had to have help and so called Mrs. E. J. Eliason on the phone. Mrs. Eliason arrived tn great haste and the two went to work on the zipper, but even by using three hands between be-tween the two of them, the zipper still stuck fast to Inga's 'finger. Mrs. Eliason was all for calling in a blacksmith to do the work, but Mrs. Black said she hadn't been formally introduced to one and wouldn't like one to undertake under-take such an embarrassing operation oper-ation as was needed. So Mrs. Eliason Elia-son said she thought Line was over home and she would get him. So the two covered up the exposed expos-ed parts of Inga with judicious use of bathrobes, blankets and a sleeping bag and Mrs. Eliason went and got Line and a pair of pliers. Line was about as red of face as was Mrs. Black when he understood under-stood what was need, and he work ed for some time to no avail. Finally Fin-ally Line gave up and said, "I wish Eldon was here, he could talk it off." And Mrs. Black replied, "I wouldn't like it off, but I would like it unfastened." But after a rest Line finally got the zipper unfastened, Mrs. Black's finger free, and he beat a hurried retreat where he could get rid of his red face. The Eliasons and Blacks are in Salt Lake at present while this all blows over, and Mrs. Black is having hav-ing her finger dressed daily while there. While all this was taking place we now move to the Tic Black home where we find Tic sitting by the hearthside soaking up some warmth. A distant honking roused Tic from his day dreaming and hurrying to the door he saw a flock of geese coming right for his home. Shoot 'EM From the Hip Black grabbed his shotgun and star ted shooting, but he started too soon and didn't wait until he got outside. The result was a large hole in the ceiling and roof which is now letting in fog and cold air. The geese went on unscathed by the barage and Tic is enquiring enquir-ing about a plasterer and carpenter carpen-ter to repair his home before the cold weather really sets in. This should be a lesson to Tic to not shoot again until he sees the whites of their eyes, or as |
