Show Chatter Box Dear Suzy, . w'th the .hunting season still ' full blast the stories coming irom same are still pouring in.John ny Adams was showing his car about ab-out town the other day, where a herd of deer had run into him.bent fenders, doors, and smashed the grill without Johnny getting a single sin-gle one. Luckily for Johnny, he was driving his 1950 Cadillac instead in-stead of his 1951 Cadillac, so the damage was slightly lessened in his mind, as he didn't want his new car bashed up. Johnny will use the old Cadillac for puttering about now and keep the .new one shiny for formal occasions oc-casions where he isn't likely to have deer tromping it. Also we find Fon Hawley out in the hills at the deer hunt, his tent pitched and everything is tip top order for the opening. Came supper sup-per time and Fon looked about for his grub box and realized he had left it at home. It is not known whether he went back for it or remained on an enforced diet during dur-ing the deer hunt. Champion of the pheasant hunters, hun-ters, is Nick Pace, who went out with a party taking dog and no gun. The others took guns, but came back empty handed. Nick returned with two cocks that some hunter had shot down and failed to find. His little pooch was equal to the occasion and retrieved htem for Nick. Up to date Ken Cahoon is the only hunter we have heard about that got a pheasant in the business district of Delta. He works at Vod-ak Vod-ak Tractor and Service and came the other morning a pheasant rooster roo-ster walked up to the building, went inside and was busily eating Ken's lunch when Ken had to put a stop to that practice by wringing its neck. Ken didn't feel so bad about, the lunph ontinor ctm'cnrla V.iit he thought the rooster had a lot of nerve to come into town without with-out a badge on. This happened the day after the season closed, but I suppose one has a right to protcet one's property and lunch and the act was justified on Ken's part. Herman Munster, noted farmer of the North Tract, was the only person per-son heard of who was shot during the hunt this year. Mr. Munster was out herding lambs about the field to try and get them out of harm's way when a pellet smacked smack-ed him in the nose. Herman bled like a stuck hog and bled even harder when the pellet was removed remov-ed with a crochet hook, and without with-out any ether. Herman says he has been to lots of pheasant hunts, but this is the first time he has ever been shot. In most cases, say Herman, "I never get more than half shot." Herman had to take a lot bottled sedative to ease himself of the pain, and when it took effect Herman Her-man was feeling no pain, in fact he wasn't feeling anything. He intends in-tends to take in the second hunt, bright eyed, and with a mask to cover his face so he won't have to take any more of Dr. Connaly's sedative. Out Sugarville way a group of hunters with dogs not only had badges on themselves, but on each dog was a badge attached to its collar. That should make some badgeless hunters look down their noses.
