Show Chatter Box Dear Suzy, Delta has always looked longingly long-ingly at the county court house and wishing it was located here instead of in Fillmore where it is. And come an opportunity to get the thing over here Delta is afraid to take the chance. It came about last week when the Millard and Delta ibasketball teams met and Millard came over loaded with enthusiasm to do some wagering to back up their . team. They offered to bet the co-. co-. unty court house against the live-i live-i stock show barn and seven shares 1 of Abraham water. Delta was a little skittish as a result of the re-- re-- cent cleanup campaign here and didn't want to bet anything but i money, so didn't take the offer from the Fillmore delegation. Now in the future when anyone , asks why the court house is in i Fillmore instead of Delta the answer ans-wer will be that sometimes a clean up campaign can be carried too far and the people around here have lost interest in betting (possibly). (poss-ibly). Maybe the Delta bunch was afraid they would win the new county jail too, and didn't want to have any part of a jail In Delta. It would be just a white elephant for us now that we have taken up the straight and narrow path. The men of Sutherland are mighty wrought up about the Relief Re-lief Society out there and think that they showed discrimination lately. It all came about when the Relief Society had a social and got to playing "Truth or Consequences'". Consequ-ences'". When it came the turn of Mrs. Norman Erickson, pres., she was asked, "Did Herman Mun-ster Mun-ster ever tell the truth?'" and she answered "No". That was wrong 11, as they can't be disturbed until un-til them. Now if the buyers will do the same with their litters that Nick is doing the hospital association has set their sights too low. They can build a million dollar building and when they have it built and the hampsters keep coming they can use them for research work. Now all the hospital association will have to furnish toward the hospital is a metal plaque to be put over the entrance of the hospital hos-pital saying, "This Is The House That Hampsters Built." We get all the breaks. Toots. because Herman was once asked if he would like a glass of beer, and he said "yes" which was the truth. Anyway Mrs. Erickson lost her consequence and it was "to kiss the best looking and most handsome hand-some man in Sutherland." Mrs. Erickson picked Les Porter and did kiss Les Porter, which was the cause for the ruckus among the men. Bennie Robison, Marve Moody, Moo-dy, and others who felt they were better looking than Les have had something to say about this hasty has-ty choosing of Les. Meanwhile Les has taken on new life, vigor and vitality now that he has been chosen as the best looking man in Sutherland. Mrs. Porter says these are different differ-ent times about the house now with Les always appropriating the mirror for his primping and taking pleasure in his own looks. Gene Walker, of cow fame about Sutherland, has lost his cow that he was milking to sell the milk to Fen-ell. It just up and died when it learned that was Gene was milking her to death for but 5c a quart. Gene is now buying milk steady at Fejrell's and paying 20c a quart and Ferrell is buying milk at his own store, and not liking the high price at all. Those attending the reception of Teddy and Jonel Nielson in Oak City the other night are still wondering if it was Ted or Verl Jacobsen that got married. It seems that Verl was more in the limelight than Ted and was ribbed rib-bed a little more. Verl said that the younger gener ation had given up post office and were now playing pony express. He said the game is the same, but there is a little more horsing around. Nick Pace, half-pint businessman about town, has launched into a new business which will assure us that a hospital will be built, as he is going to donate his earnings to the hospital fund, and you can soon see that the earnings will be enormous. Nick's uncle and aunt, Bill and Wanda Pace, gave him a pair of hampsters as a Christmas present. These hampsters are about the size of mice, only they have a bob tail instead of the type that the farmer's wife cut off. And prolific is a mild word for them. They start having young at the age of 45 days, and will have a litter every 14 days thereafter. The litters, lit-ters, or whatever you call them, average around 12, which are born bald and hungry. The first litter has arrived at present but the mother hides them so well in their nest that they haven't been able to count them, but know there is quite a bunch. Nick is going to sell them for $1.00 each and donate the money to the hospital fund. The first three litters lit-ters have been bargained for so you can see there is quite a bit toward the hospital already. This CrBt litter will be on display Feb, |
