Show Chatter Box Dear Suzy, Winn Walker, big cow and bull man from the North Tract, is airing air-ing a grievance lately. He is bothered both-ered about Roy Smith and his cattle. cat-tle. It seems that Roy has more cattle than the government has employees, and being a big cattleman cattle-man still doesn't own a saddle nag. To Winn this is very inconsistent to have all those cows and when the time comes to drive them some place, Roy rides along in his car herding the middle of the group, while the Fullmer boys ride herd on the side to keep the strays moving. mov-ing. Personally I think Roy is extravagant extrav-agant hiring the Fullmer boys plus their horses, as the Fullmer boys have been known to run to Swazey in the early morning to wash their teeth, and then be back in time for breakfast. Their favorite sport formerly wall running down rabbits, rab-bits, but they gave this up because it was too easy. Their fleetness of foot reminds me of the negro who was asked to join the cavalry. He said,"When the bugle blows for retreat re-treat I doan wanta be bothered with no hoss." Winn, on the other hand, has a herd of Holsteins and so he wears cowboy boots as is befitting and in keeping with the spirit of things. thi-ngs. Cowboy boots are the great desire of any male as soon as he starts eating solid foods. Sometimes Some-times this desire is suppressed, but it will crop out in later life and it finally gets to the point that when a man goes into a restaurant and orders a T-bone steak, he has to be wearing his cowboy boots, in order or-der to keep up a front. Men who wear them tell of their great comfort and ease and make all kinds of excuses for their use. , But they can't kid me. If they'd wear them on a day's shopping in Salt Lake they would soon retract their views. Another shining example of cowboy cow-boy boot wearing is Bill Pace. He even has gone so far as to wear i them whlie flitting about the skies in the airplane. Glen Crawford had to wear them 1 and especially on trips to Delta. But he had to give them up as he is very fond of making trades with ; Ralph Morrison, and on each deal ; he was getting "took" because he couldn't keep his mind on his trad- ing while his feet were pinching so. ; If I were Glen I would forget my feet and put a little thought to my -pants, as he wears his in such a precarious position that it is even ; money whether they will drop to his ankles or stay put. Eb Stapley who has long been ; renowned for his'' ability to track a deer right back to the place of : its birth, got in a predicament last : week in Beaver. He and Shine j had gone pine nutting and split up for some reason or other and Eb, ' of all things, became lostIHe walk- , ed from 10 in the morning until 4 in the afternoon when he finally found a car and realized that he , had never been more than 400 yrds from it at any time. Their success at getting pine nuts is unknown.

Pie had a fence built and when it was1 completed it out-rivaled the leaning lean-ing tower of Pisa, with its curves, angles and meanderings. It was such a sight that men who had used us-ed up their likker permits could go down there and take a look and soon be "on one" just from a close scrutiny of that fence. Bill put an end to it all by having it taken down, renovated, straightened out and put up again. Somebody is always al-ways taking the joy out of life. You will note that when "the breaks" art dished out, the men get them all. Here we are right in the middle of the pine nut season sea-son and still we have no pockets to carry around a hoard of these leasers, while the men can dive into in-to a handy pocket and come up with a handful. The appearance 3n the streets lately is that Deltans are afflicted with ill-fitting dentures, dentur-es, and are constantly adjusting them. People dig into a pocket or sack, hastily put something in their mouths, pull it out again, and then replace it in their mouth again, with a look on their -faces o( great bewilderment and pain, probably wondering where the nut went to. Strangers here no doubt wonder I about this until they are initiated j into the fine art of pine nut eat- j ing, or ..slowly starving yourself to j death. After a course on correct procedure, they too, become addicts ad-dicts with gummy fingers, blackened blacken-ed lips and a constant and gnawing gnaw-ing huger that no one has ever been able to overcome when indulging indul-ging in the sport of Iidians. This year the honor of being the first to wear a deer hunting cap will have to be equally divided between be-tween Dick Claark and Eldon Jensen. Jen-sen. They both appeared on the 5th of July in their hunting caps and have worn them consistently and conscicnciously since. Personally I had hoped that the Wildlife would overlook their annual an-nual deerhunters' ball, but such is not the case. They are going to put it on again, headaches and all, much to the discomfiture of many who will be "forced" to attend. See you at the dance, Toots. j M-S L. Niclson Clark and Mrs. j Clark's mother.
