Show Chatter Box . . . Dear Suzy The town is considering a building build-ing project at the present time. It seems as though they have now found their jail quite inadequate to hold the numerous weekend guests lodged there, and so the new quarters. It all came about through a visit here of one of the Utah State Liquor Li-quor Control Commission gestapo. He said that in other parts of the state the towns had a quota on the number of, people picked up for imbibing. The quota, was figured on the number of bottles of liquor sold in the local store. He said the ratio was one arrest to each for each seven quarts sold and that Delta was falling a long ways short of this quota. Saturday night the new system was put into operation and a regular re-gular bus service was run from the town to the jail. It became crowded crowd-ed and even more crowded as the night wore on so that local officers were sorely pressed trying to hold up their end of the newly established esta-blished quota. After a while the officers got to wondering, if, after all, it was really worthwhile. Here they had the jail crowded with inmates in-mates hanging from the rafters and no place to put any more. They were wishing the agent from the ULCC would show up and take a few off their hands. But the agent was conspicuous by his absence ab-sence after causing all the grief here he could he had left for parts unknown. Maybe all the "wonderful wizards" wi-zards" aren't in Washington anc maybe we have a few hanging around the ULCC figuring "quotas' and "ratios" to put into operatior on the unsuspecting public. Here they tax the liquor for about three times its actual worth, and then figure on fines bringing more "taxes", "tax-es", so that they can hire more agents to tour the country getting local officers and local people in Dutch. The Association of Bass Anglers are planning to file a suit against W. C. Cole so big that it will take three lawyers to carry it around in a brief case. It has come about through the fact that due to Mr. Cole's beet watering the members of the ABA have to travel a mile exfra on each trip after bass This extra mileage has been computed at 1249 miles for this period, and the way the gas situation is at the present time, these 1249 miles are no small potatoes. The world is always looking forward for-ward to progress. It is a word used by all writers, uplifters, politicians, and such, but events of the past week make me wonder if we do make any progress. The good old battle cry, "Let's not go back to the horse and buggy bug-gy days," was a good slogan, but within a short time after that the same birds advocating that "pro gress" also brought about gas rationing, rat-ioning, making a horse and buggy a very pleasant and advanced consideration. con-sideration. Taking a point more concrete let us look into the case history of some local "progress" that has come into view. Janice Hopkins Borchert, whose husband is a major in France, got tired of sitting home knitting, so is now working in the Hotel Southern Cafe back right where she was ten years ago. You can see what I mean. The boss said to me, "put a lttle piece in your tripe so that we can get somebody to work for us on Wednesdays and Thursday here in the Chronicle." I could write a real good ad on it, so here goes WANTED: a good woman, and want her bad intentions strictly honorable even though the wording is a little hazy. Applicant to do light work in the Chronicle office, such as keeping $5 bills off the floor, waking one of the men in case and when some one comes in, folding a few papers on Thursdays, answering the phone and telling the caller no one is here, dusting off the Indian mum-imes mum-imes at regular intervals, say once every seven years just like they have done in the past, fly-toxing flies, and generally doing a part of the small amount of work done in the Chronicle. Pay why bring that up? Look at the experience you will get. It might work,- what do you think, Love, Toots. M-S Clyde Underbill went to Salt Lake City Sunday. D. Stevens & Company is making BIG NEWS!
