Show Chatter Box Dear Suzy, I am all encouraged and fell that I am doing the community a great deal of good. Some time ago I suggested sug-gested that the City put in slot machines and reap a vast fortune from doing so. The kind I had in mind was the style where you put in a nickle, watch a bunch of fruit revolve and get nothing in return. The City changed the idea in just one respect They installed a style whereby you punch a ball and watch it roll around, and then get nothing in return. Basically it is the same idea, and now all you have to do to pay your taxes, etc., is spend an afternoon after-noon at the pin ball machine. The Jay Cees are off to a good start. Last week they invited some guests down to attend their organization organ-ization banquet and now they can't remember who the officials were. Carl Ashby, president, is in a fog and says that Reed Turner, the secretary se-cretary should have the record. Reed kept the minutes on the back of an envelope and then filed it in the waste basket. So the $64 question ques-tion still remains unanswered, and that is who are the out of town men in the picture of the.JC banquet. ban-quet. Athena Cook celebrated her birthday Tuesday (she says it is her 28th) in a most unique manner by having Doc Stains pull her teeth out. When you stop to think of it, it isn't such a bad idea after all. You are born toothless, and I can't think of a more appropriate time to return to the gummer state. Then, too, with the eating pro-lem pro-lem such as it is, there is nothing to chew so teeth are more or less just something to wash these days, or to take out and admire. John Walker and his dad, Winn, are wondering if anything was gained by selling the prize steer at the livestock show. John got over $1000 for it, but up to date has spent $327.69 on pictures, $492.43 on traveling expenses to other shows to see if the price he got is beat, and $214.54 on meat and meals hoping to hit the jack pot and get some of it to eat. So, you can see that being the winner is not all beer and skittles. John and his dad, and Herman Munster went to the Stevensen restaurant re-staurant in Salt Lake, which bought the steer hoping to be able to get a taste of it. They went in their usual manner, coatless and their shoes looking as though they had made a hurried trip through a wet corral. They were asked for their reservations and failing to produce them were being given the brushoff when Winn in his whispering whis-pering voice stated that his boy raised the steer they bought. Well, his voice carried well into the kitchen kit-chen and was also registered on the U of U seismograph. Well, this was all too much for Herman, as he hasn't recovered yet from his browbeating at the hands of Virgie Broderick over a sack of potatoes and he faded from the picture and settled for a hamburger. But John and Winn are built of sterner stuff and they rented some sop and fish clothes and finally got in. Getting out was another matter, though, as it set them back $7 a plate- for their trouble. To look at Leamington you would think that is was a respectable respec-table and peaceful little town ,but according to the stories emanating from there, such is not the case. It sems that if you have a pitch fork with a handle longer than 19 inches you have to guard it with your life as they have a habit of disappearing in a most alarming manner. It is so bad up there at present that Spence Nielson has been sleeping with his pitchfork and making his wife sleep on the sofa. It is a sad state of affairs when a man thinks more or his pitchfork than his wife, but then we women never were appreciated over the more material things in life. Spit Stratton says the pitchfork handles are so short in Hinckley that the haypitchers are wearing stilts so as to be able to load a wagon. Necessity is the mother of invention, inven-tion, Toots.
