Show ijChatter Box Dear Suzy, Casey Terry figres it would be better to suffer with a toothache than to mentally puffer from the lack of teeth. It seems he had a furious toothache the other day and went to Doc Stains to get it pulled. Doc froze the tooth and about that time the phone rang and they wanted Doc to come down ot the hospital to give an anesthetic to someone. When Doc came back to his own patient he was a little excited and told Casey Ca-sey to "open up" and Doc quickly yanked out a tooth on the opposite oppo-site side of Casey's mouth from where he had frozen it. Before Casey could collect his senses Doc saw that the tooth was not infected in-fected and so pulled out the one by the side of it. About this time Casey was get-ing get-ing audible and asked Doc if it was the custom to freeze one side of his mouth and then play "she loves me, she loves me not" all around his mouth until Doc got to the right one. Doc then realized that he was not pulling teeth from the place he should and so switched swit-ched sides and to even up the deal pulled two on the other side to balance Casey's teeth, finally getting the right one. Casey feels it is quite an ordeal to have teeth snapped out, especially espec-ially when they aren't frozen, but he has taken a philosophic attitude atti-tude lately and figures that when it comes time to buy a set of store teeth he will be well on the road to having his mouth cleaned out of teeth, because he now has four less, and four closer to his china clippers. A great delegation from west Millard attended ' conference in Salt Lake City this past weekend, some attending at the tabernacle and some viewing it over television televis-ion sets in the branch tabernacle at Sears' new store. Of course, the chorus attended, and also as many as could crowd into the tabernacle and grounds, but the overflow had to sit on the i . treat them the same as they do the big shot college football teams. Three days before the game they take the team someplace "away from it" and force them to get a lot of rest and sleep. At least it would look better that way when televised. Toots. floor at Sears to get a view and hear what was going on. Close to the end o'fl the morning session found the two little Beekwith girls, Susan and Mary Jane, seated on the floor at Sears, with Fuzz kneel ing behind them showing them the different west Millard people that could be seen on the screen. When the ' television stopped showing the chorus Fuzz raised up and bumped violently into a man back of him. Fnzz turned about to excuse ex-cuse himself and found that he was looking into the blue eyes of none other than Bishop Frank Lyman, Ly-man, who was being ably assisted assist-ed in taking in conference at the television by Lyle Bunker. It was an embarrassing moment for all concerned. Fuzz because he had bumped into Frank, and Frank and Lyle because they had been caught playing hookey from conference. con-ference. The party broke up rather hurriedly, with Fuzz taking his girls out of the store and Frank and Lyle hurrying to the tern-1 pie grounds entrance and joining the throng there to walk down J Main Street as though they had ' been to conference. I think the chorus should have taken into consideration that the sessions were being televised and should have gotten some sleep the night before. While the speakers were talking many of the members of the chorus were in good focus of; the camera, and I will bet that had they seen themselves on the screen they would have wished they had ."stood in bed" Many of them had the appearance of having hav-ing walked to Salt Lake just prior to the session and with no sleep during the time it took to walk. Televised from left to right were Moose Dutson, who had the appearance ap-pearance of one who had cut seed three days and night in a row before be-fore going to Salt Lake. Next was Wanda Beekwith staring into space at times and at others forgetting for-getting to stare. Thelma Black, next one in the lineup, pulled a fast one to keep awake, and she counted all the peole in the audience audi-ence to keep her mind active. (It was the same as counting sheep, to get to sleep, only with reverse Knglish. Lloyd Schlappi must make Carol work day and night, because she certainly yawned enough. (Carol, one of your uppper molars needs atention, or else it was a spot on the screen). Norma Hannifin Han-nifin was lucky in being just out of range of the camera, as were most of the others, If they had the same trouble keeping awake that those in range did. It was all Ladd's fault for getting get-ting them up so early in the morning morn-ing for rehearsal that none of them were able to get a good night's rest. Ladd had a lapse of memory himself and probably he was not feeling his right self, also from lack of sleep. For when the final number came along, Ladd forgot to signal the chorus to stand and during the opening of the song, those who had presence of mind stood up anyway, and the others hastened to follow suit, with Ladd wondering what was wrong that his chorus was acting like a bunch of jack-in-the-boxes. If the chorus takes on another big engagement they had better |
