Show Chatter Box Dear Suzy, I Vic Morris, farmer and man a- j bout town, is sporting a new hat I these days, and the reason back! of the new hat is a long story. It seems that Golden Warnick took Vic for a plane ride, and Golden got to circling in a fast and furious manner, and while Golden circled, Vic's stomach was doing inside loops, outside loops and Immelman turns. Soon Vic was in a mood whereby he felt that he could easily eas-ily get along without a stomach, or at least get along without the contents. His first thought .was for the interior in-terior of the plane" and not wanting want-ing to damage it he cast about for ways of ridding himself of his discomfort. dis-comfort. The windows were a little lit-tle more than he could muckle as he was very weak and nauseated by this time. His only recourse that he could think of on the spur of the moment was his hat, and of course, the hat was no longer fit for wearing after the use to which Mr. Morris put it. Mr. Morris returned to town and bought a new hat, and little does he realize that Golden got a commission com-mission on the deal, which was a pair of socks. It just goes to show that it is a poor wind that blows nobody good, or maybe I should say it is a weak stomach that does not ,do someone some good. Now Mr. Morris has a new hat for the holidays; Golden has a new pair of socks; and the little plane still has a clean interior. Norma Wright has been in a decided de-cided quandary this year as to buying buy-ing Spence a Christmas present. In r-yRppnco has been satisfied satis-fied with WiSi. h's store sells, but this year he wanted something a little better. Spence has been watching wat-ching Lee Sanderson and Howard Kirk, and it has given him ideas. You are apt to run into Lee (who runs the Gem Cafe) in the Four Roses cafe at any time getting something to eat. And Howard (Deep from the Heart of Texas) who runs the Four Roses practically practic-ally eats all his meals at the Gem cafe. I suppose both men are patronizing pat-ronizing the other's cafe in hopes of getting a clean bite. Spence has been watching this reciprocity of trade the past few weeks and figures that if they can trade with their competitors, so can he. Anyway he laid down the ultimatum to Norma that he was sick and tired of presents from his dime store, and being a father, grandfather, taxpayer, and an upstanding up-standing citizen of this community, was entitled to something better. This has upset Norma to no end, as she has been suggesting presents pres-ents for people for the past three months, and npw can't figure out what Spence is to get. It looks to me as though that if this "Peace on Earth, Good Will to man" theme is to be carried out, a committee should be organized to abolish Christmas so as to keep peace in the many families that are confronted con-fronted each year with this same dilemma. The "off again, on again, going again, Finnegan" idea was carried out in Delta this week, only that it was shortened even more that that and was "in again, out again." The City has had marble games in most of the places around town with the funds derived from same going into the swimming pool fund. Last week they decided to put a couple of old fashioned slot machines ma-chines in Fava's pool hall and Joe Gordon's pool hall. Hardly had the first nickle clicked into the box when the long arm of the law arrived ar-rived and hauled the slot machines back out again. It was done so fast that it was a case of now you see it, now you don't, and the slot machines were retired with a net gain of 5c each. Well, I will close by wishing the few friends I have that are on speaking terms with me a pleasant holiday season and a happy New Year, Toots. |
