Show Chatter Box Dear Suzy, I can't wait to get to the celebration cele-bration in Hinckley this Saturday and Monday and especially to the rodeo those nights. The reasons are I want to see if the committee in charge made any changes, or whether it is like last year. I want to see if Mayor Curley Swensen's smile is as broad as it was last year when he rode into the arena. He puts on a smile that was the envy of all toothpaste ads. It was so wide that had his mouth been watering he would have droo led in his ears. Another thing I want to see if whether they got a man size horse for Hon Cropper or whether he is stilling riding that Shetland pony he had last year. If he has the same plug he had better carry the horse in the grand entry instead in-stead of the way it was last year. His feet hung over so far on the horse that they dragged two furrows fur-rows about the arena, raising a great cloud of dust, wearing out both soles on Hon's shoes, and giv- ing mm callouses mat ne nas not gotten over yet. (On his feet, of course.) Hon is not a small man, in fact when they take him goose hunting hunt-ing they make three blinds just to hide Hon, so when he comes loping in on a horse that he out-weight out-weight 4 pounds it is a little incongruous in-congruous and doesn't make sense Of course, Hon says that a small horse doesn't eat so much as a big horse, and if he- had a big horse he couldn't afford to keep it, and if he didn't have a horse he could not ride in the grand entry, which becomes all very involved and gets one confused to the point that one doesn't know where one started star-ted with all this. I believe it would be better for all concerned and especially the grand entry, if Hon bought a bigger big-ger horse. Even if it eats more he could cut a hole in the fence and let it pilfer a little feed from the neighbors.lt would be for the good ! of Hinckley that he rides a bigger big-ger horse, so it would be a patriotic pat-riotic and generous jesture on the part of his neighbors to help carry car-ry the load of feeding the horse so that the horse could carry the load it is called upon to do in the grand entry each year. Mrs. Arv Rose is having her difficulties dif-ficulties this week. It seems that she was doing a little painting a-bout a-bout the Rose Rancho and laid down her brush to take 40 and when she returned the brush was gone. Searching for foot prints fail ed to give a clue and it wasn't until much later that she learned that the pet crow of the Fay Walkers Wal-kers had snatched the brush while she wasn't looking, carried it away aw-ay and wouldn't give it up until she offered it a nice fat cob of corn. Stan Stewart and Dee King need that crow badly. Everytime these two wanted to go fishing they could let the crow steal their brushes bru-shes and have a good excuse. Of course, maybe the crow would get tired of having the brushes all the time and no Stan and Dee home to give it a cob of corn. The Blacks are having their difficulties dif-ficulties too. It was Carrie's and Luc's birthday Tuesday and Luc was invited down to the house to play pinochle as he thought. On arriving at the P. T. Black home for a session of cards he was greeted by the whole family shouting "surprise." But he got even later because Carrie, the hostess, served the assembled as-sembled group the same diet that Luc has been on for some months past - - - rice and fruit, and both with no salt. The Blacks broke up early and many a raid was made upon the family ice box on returning to their the-ir respective homes. Now they know how Luc felt at the other family dinners. The family fam-ily made a raid on the table burdened bur-dened with fried chicken, yams, olives and other tasties, while Luc slunk into a corner with his meager mea-ger bowl of rice, topped with a baked apple. Turn about is fair play. Toots |
