Show MILLARD COUNTY CHRONICLE Chatter Box Delta, Utah, Thurs.. Oct. 9, 1952 ' oear Suzy, Education has come a long way since I went to school. Of course, I don't want to reveal my age by telling too much of how school was in my early life, but it was far more rugged than it is now, and, too, they didn't take up the subjects then that they do now. In Deltas' first school for the bad boys like Hugh Ivie and Jay; curiKer pumsnment consisted of having to carry in the coal .and carry out the ashes for the stove that kept half the school warm in Principal Billy Gardner's room. Later on a new school was built and reading writing and arithme-tic were pounded into kids who had to either go to school or go out threshing. Now they have added a more pleasant course to the curriculum in the high school and it is the world series. It seems that Joe Snow figured the baseball educa-tion of his class was being sadly neglected and so brought a radio to the classroom so that all could take in the series and learn some thiner nhnut hip- lcnno v,aii Ac soon as the games started the ra-dio was promptly turned on and silence, except what came ovei the radio, reigned.. Any interrup-tions were soon quelled and talk-ing out of turn, or asking ques-tions was frowned upon and soon put down. It has worked nicely, too, this new baseball course, because those who listen are very atten-tive and are picking up a lot of fine education, and those who So not want to listen have to study because any untoward activity on their parts mean many demerit marks and a threat that maybe too, will have to go back to the horse and buggy days and carry in the coal. Red Smith, local Chevrolet shov-e- r of our main stem, is in bed recuperating from ehillblains, a bad case o'H house maid's knee and shock, all of which he got lately when he dunked a. car in a dry wash up Jericho way. It seems that when Red drives a car he likes to push the throttle in to the carburetor and hold his foot there because he says the wind whistling through the airj cleaner does things to his corns, but the breeze was overly rough the other night and that is how he got the ehillblains.. After piling the car up he spent so much time on his knees pray-ing that a car would see him and stop that it gave his house maid's knee, and the shock was from a car actually stopping at the scene of his debacle. Red says the accident was all planned on purpose to see just how efficient his staff was at the local car mart. They have a new wrecker and Red wanted to see it in action, which was one of the reasons for gouging up the dirt, and, too, the body and fender man was new to the shop and Red was curious to know if he knew his stuff iflnd so pnvp him nmrtle work to keep him busy until come next Michaelmas. Of course, if Red is going to hog the use of the body and fender man and the wrecker too, it won't leave them much time to work for somebody else to make a profit. Red's shock was a double-barrele- d case because the car that stopped to get him out of his pre-dicament was none other than his competitor, one Dick Peterson, who is trying to prove that anyone can afford a Ford. So here we have the two big dealers of Delta hud-dled about a wrecked car that is suffering from bog spavins, grav-el bruises and accordion pleated fenders; Red's face is red because his product isn't looking so good in its present condition, and also some of his lifes' blood is slowly trickling away. His competitor's car is up on the highway, sitting there all prim and pretty and on all four wheels. Keith Dalton, one of Red's em-ployees wheeled up at this junc-ture in a nice shiny Chev and that eased Red's pain considerably, be-cause he now had a car and a half against his competitor's one. So Red was tootled away to the doctor and the car brought in with the new wrecker, and the body and 'fender man is working on the job ironing out the bulges and the dents. All is well now except Red and one fender. The incident of one car dealer helping out another proves con-clusively that there is great truth in the saying, "There Is Honor Thieves." Toots.
