Show Chatter Box Dear Suzy, Well, another Christmas has come and gone and for parents with large families it is a decided relief that it has gone.Even though they will have to pay through the nose for months to come. Of course, cou-rse, it is hard to keep a weather eye on Christmas and its perils when you are raising a large family. fam-ily. One big trouble with Christmas is that the kids get so much stuff these days that new rooms and closets have to be built on the present pre-sent shanties to hold them all. This also is an expense that one incurs at Christmas time. If one has a large family it takes more room to hold the kids and more rooms and closets to hold the presents. pre-sents. On the other hand when March and the huge expenses of income taxes come bobbing up one is mighty happy to have a lot of deductions de-ductions pounding each other on the head and making so much noise you can't tell a capital gain from a franked envelope. They seem to make the effort worth while and since it is nine months until the next Christmas one is apt to forget ones problems and think of more deductions. Local city fathers have worked for years with the Union Pacific to have the trains tootle a little less strongly when they barge through Delta. One of their big arguments was the trains worke too many people up, and having trouble getting back to sleep, plan ned for more deductions. They had the trains soft-pedalled and lately the engineers have been very careful care-ful about not waking people up and keeping them awake with their thoughts. But this last week Delta was awakened and kept awake thru the efforts of Bishop Bird and the loud speaker at the First ward church. It is a recognized fact that Bishop Bird acted primarily as a bishop and felt that chimes, Christ mas carols, and holiday music was what the people needed most. And on the other hand he might have had his doctoring ability in the back of is head and felt that if He kept the people awake it would do a lot of good for that doctoring business. So for the past week or ten days eventide finds the loud speaker going full blast starting oft with chimes, going into Christmas carols car-ols and ending up with more chimes. chi-mes. It has been reported that even out Abraham way they have heard the music, so you can see what it has been doing around here. First the parents have trouble getting the kids to sleep and then have trouble themselves, which leads into more trouble. Doc has had a busy phone these nights asking that the tones be subdued somewhat and also that a curfew be put on at such and such a time as sleep is more important than chimes and so much allusion to peace on earth and good will to mankind. If Bishop Doctor Bird was a gam bier one could say that he has hit the jackpot right square on the nose, and now all he has to do is gather up the coins that have spilled to the floor. But he is not a gambler, but he still hit the jackpot and will be gathering up the coins from the floor. Bishop loves music and it is one of his hobbies, and he has enjoyed filling the air from sundown on with melody. Also Doc likes to doctor, and come a few months hence he will be mighty busy filling fil-ling the land. So he has indulged in his two favorite hobbies and will make a profit thereby, which should make any man mighty happy. hap-py. We will just have to wait and see what takes place. The National Manufacurers Association As-sociation states that there only 6000 people in the United States engaged in making girdles. If that is the case no wonder they get behind be-hind in their work. Toots. |
