Chatter Box Dear Suzy, Don Woodbury was a very frus-trated young man last week when he had visions of roast pork, apple sauce, sweet potatoes and mince pie in view and it all slipped from his grasp, like the literal greased pig. It seems Don had an urge to clean up his lot in the and get a good night's rest befre continuing his hnut. Comnig out the next day he started seeing bottles as soon as he left Hinck-ley (no doubt tossed there by peo-ple coming in from Nevada), and so he started investigating them as he wasn't sure just where his bottle marker had been placed. He searched the area around 3S7 bottles before he gave up for that day. Next day he was back on the job again, but with an outstanding lack of success. It seems that ev-ery night more Nevada people threw out more bottles, and so made his work doubly hard and doubly tiring. Ray says to date he has search-ed the area around 2981 bottles, but none has been the original bottle he put out, and so he is still without teeth. But there is a silver lining to all this because Ray has been bringing the bottles in to town and seling them and he figures one more trip at 25c a case, will see him with enough profit on the deal to buy a new set. So soon he will have two sets of teeth, one with him, he hopes ,and one in storage somewhere on the Nevada road. One dosen't have to spit on the Nevada road to loose one's teeth, because the road is so rough that unless your dentures fit mighty snug, you stand a good chance of having them shaken out. Toots. east part of town and started to , burn weeds. The weeds were num-erous as it had been some years since Don had burned them and they started getting out of con-trol and the flames were soon licking on the boards of Bill 's pig pen. It was at this point that Don thought he would get a little roast pork out of the deal and so elt the fire go hoping that it would soon have the pig enclosed therein done ito a turn. Don has always resented the fact that the Morten-sen- s are always having a nice pig to butcher, and in the past the Woodburys have not been given any even though they have gone so far as to lean over the hog pen licking their lips. When Bill Mortensen butchers a pig there is hardly enough to go around when you have given each of the many Mortensens- and Al-iens a choice cut, and many times Bill and his family have had to be satisfied with a spare rib and a slice of bacon. Now Don didn't know all this. He thought that the Mortensens were being unfair and unneighborly, while all the time the Mortensens were yearning for a nice roast of pork from their own pig. All this time the fire has been merrily burning along and Don is is in the house looking for an could fina . place to park his car but in front of the fire sta-tion. J. R., when he finally gave heed to all the shouting at him, saw he was about to have a fend-er wrinkled, or worse, so jumped in his car and took off . for parts unknown. It is supposed he hur-ried out to Bill's place to see when the pig would be ready for but-chering as he and his good wife are yearning for a little pork. Ray Skinner, big Brahma bull man, is going through trying times these days as he is not eating his apple to stuff in the pig's mouth and a little salt. He figures in a case like this the least the 's can do is to furnish the sweet potatoes if and when they get invited to their own pig Now with Don's plans almost reaching culmination, some un-known person sent in the fire and called out the local hay stack dampeners. They answered in their usual alert fashion and pulled up to the Mortensen hog pen ready for action. Bill, hearing the commotion outside went out to investigate and met his pig at the back door of the Mortensen home begging to get in. It seems the hog didn't want to grow up to be a barbeque and when the flames got too close it broke out of the pen and made to safer quarters. The hog was not a pretty sight as it had its ears singed, eyelashes burned off, and it must have turn-ed its back on the fire at one time, because the jaunty kink was burned out of its tail and one ham was about at the parboiled stage. But at present it has recovered, has a nice new pen, and dislikes regular diet, due to the fact that he no longer has any teeth with which to chew his food. It all came about in a most innocent fashion when Ray was coming back from one of his weekly trips to the west of here during the night. Now Ray, just to pass the time away and keep himself company on these trips, likes to chew a little tobacco, and at times there comes the need to spit, unless one is a very hardy person. So Ray up and gave a lusty spit out of the window. He noticed that when it hit the ground there was a def-inite clang, but Ray just thought he had hit a good batch of to-bacco and there was more body to it, and so drove along. Came time to take another chew and Ray couldn't bite a hunk off the plug. He stopped the car and de-cided that one of two things was wrong, either he wasn't as strong as he used to be, or something was wrong with his teeth. ' Closer inspection proved to Ray that he was toothless. So he turn-ed the car about to backtrack, driving about the same speed to find the place where he had heard the clang. He must either have driven faster or slower than he did on the original trip, be-cause when he got back to about the place where he thought he had lost them he got out and searched with a flash light, but could find no teeth. Several hours were put in trying to get his mol-ars back, but he had no success. Ray is a cagey man and so fig-ured he would mark where he thought they should be and so took a beer bottle out of his car that someone had left there, and set it beside the road to mark the spot so he could look around come daylight. He decided to go home Don Woodbury very much. All this was related by J. R. Mortensen, but when he got to the place where he was to swear ( it was the truth, as I dislike to have anything to do with items that aren't the truth, the fire sir-en whizzed again and J. R. had to shout to have his listeners hear. At the same time his listeners were shouting at J. R. because when he pulled up into town he Celebrate 2.11 li Anniversary Visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fera Little on Monday were Mrs. Little's sister and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Glen W.
