Show I ' Chatter Box Dear Suzy, Cecil Rowley, big butter and egg man out in Garrison, is making a big statemnt lately that he may have to back up. He says that he is going to build the only bathroom bath-room between Ely and Milford, which makes it look as though there are no bathrooms in any of the places between those points. If he is correct and there are no bathrooms for that 150 miles, he is going to have a mighty busy joint. He is bulding only one with several showers in it and at present pres-ent there aren't any partitions which may cause some embarrassment embarrass-ment on the . part of dirty travelers trav-elers who want to scour off some o( the dust gathered on their various var-ious ways. Of course, there are 2 doors to it and I suppose he is going to mark one "Men's Bath" and the other "Women's Bath" and let them take their chances. One thing for sure is that if Verl Ja-cobson Ja-cobson ever goes out there for a bath he will be seen sneaking through the "women's door," as is his usual custom. As long as Highway 6 remains unimproved it will be hard to dif-frentiate dif-frentiate between men and women anyway, because they pick up so much dirt on the road that they look like ancient Oakies when they finally hit the oil on either end. It is going to be interesting to watch the developments there and see if he has any squawks from travelers, or whether they take the whole thing as one of the hazards haz-ards of traveling. Two very young people have been added to the Society of Ditch lumpers Who Didn't Make It. First to be initiated was Robert Callister Mi he is the youngest member to toe. He was watching his sister, My, jump daintily over the ditch the phone office the other day "id being boy-like, thought he ld do as well as any girl. So e up and tried, but landed smack by-passed the mud hole. They were late for the party in the first place, and it looked like a very slim excuse to say that they ran into a mud hole when Fern thought she saw a drop of rain on the windshield. Those who have been looking up lately have seen cloudless skies and no rain for some time, so it must have been a spot of powder that got into Fern's eye as she powdered her nose into a mud hole. This should be a lesson to us all, and that is if you are going to be looking for trouble such as rain, you are sure to end up in a mess. Toots. . ' u mmaie.
